The migration from volume ID to UUID neglected to update the provider_location field on the volume. As a result the iqn and volume name no long match and existing volumes are no longer able to be attached after an upgrade (essex -> folsom and then nova-vol->cinder). This patch adds a method to the volume driver that will check for the mismatch of volume name in the iqn during service start up. If detected it will update the provider_location field in the database to include the new ID. Also it will create a symlink to the device backing file that also has the correct naming convention. Note: We don't disturb an connections that are currently attached. For this case we add a check in manager.detach and do any provider_location cleanup that's needed at that time. This ensures that connections persist on restarts of tgtd and reboot. Change-Id: I8224824b793c98a9767c5d8dd741d892be720c4f Fixes: bug 1065702
The Choose Your Own Adventure README for Cinder
You have come across a storage service for an open cloud computing service. It has identified itself as "Cinder." It was abstracted from the Nova project.
To monitor it from a distance: follow @openstack on twitter.
To tame it for use in your own cloud: read http://docs.openstack.org
To study its anatomy: read http://cinder.openstack.org
To dissect it in detail: visit http://github.com/openstack/cinder
To taunt it with its weaknesses: use http://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder
To watch it: http://jenkins.openstack.org
To hack at it: read HACKING
