How to transfer volumes between domains and projects using OpenStack CLI client on CloudFerro Cloud
Volumes in OpenStack can be used to store data. They are visible to virtual machines like drives.
Such a volume is usually available to just the project in which it was created. Transferring data stored on it between projects might take a long time, especially if such a volume contains lots of data, like, say, hundreds or thousands of gigabytes (or even more).
This article covers changing the assignment of a volume to a project. This allows you to move a volume directly from one project (which we will call source project) to another (which we will call destination project) using the OpenStack CLI in a way that does not require you to physically transfer the data.
The source project and destination project must both be on the same cloud (for example WAW3-2). They can (but don’t have to) belong to different users from different domains and organizations.
What We Are Going To Cover
- Initializing transfer of volume
- Accepting transfer of volume
- Cancelling transfer of volume
