@PaulAngus it is not that complicated. @RodrigoDLopez is not introducing a feature, but rather fixing a bug. The feature was introduced via https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/2636. It was first released on ACS 4.12. If you check the title of the PR that introduced it "Fix limitation on tag matching in 'migrateVolume' with disk offering replacement", and its code, you will see that there is a mechanism to normalize/update the disk offering in the DB to match the target storage. You can even check this option in the API documentation (https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.14/apis/migrateVolume.html). The feature was introduced to allow operators to have means to move the volume around, even if the tags do not match. This allows tasks such as troubleshooting performance problems, or validating if a storage tier upgrade would improve application performance. There was a series of PRs that I created to address these needs two years ago or so. They all have been reviewed, approved and merged, and were released. However, it happens to be that this feature was broken at some point in time, and @RodrigoDLopez is fixing this. Also, there was an e-mail today stating "[ANNOUNCE] master and 4.15 branches open for merge". Therefore, we expected that to be open for everybody, especially for a bug fix such as this one, that was not even raised as a blocker. We know people using this feature, which required some internal patching to make it work on 4.13 for instance. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
