Pablo,
All the logic for device mappings its on the database, so be sure to
replicate (carefull no to overlap volumes id) all your volume data from the
table :
- volumes
- volumes metadata
An the most important one:
- block_device_mappings
On this tables is where actually resides the conection parameters for the
LUN and the connection method (driver specs)
{"driver_volume_type": "iscsi", "data": {"device_path":
"/dev/disk/by-path/ip-10.1.1.100:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.1874337601-lun-0",
"target_discovered": false, "target_iqn":
"iqn.1992-08.com.netapp:sn.1874337601", "target_portal": "10.1.1.100:3260",
"volume_id": 26, "target_lun": "0"}}
This info is what nova uses to trigger the isciadm commands to attach the
lun to the VM when volume_attach() is called,
And dont you forget to respect all the metadata and types values on the
tables:
volume_types
volume_types_extra_specs
And the values matches the ones that you have dumped on the migrated volume
With all of this you should be good to go without issues
Best
