Hi Melanie, when moving volume to new storage, when you want to change disk offering (or compute offering for ROOT disk...), ACS doesn't allow that - it lists only offerings that have same tag as current offering (not good...)
We have inhouse patch, so that you CAN do that, by making sure to list all offergins that have TAG that matches the TAG of the new destination pool of the volume (hope Im clear here). All volumes read tag from their offering - so just either change disk_offering_id filed for each moved/migrated volume to point to same sized offering on new storage - and then normally change it once more via UI to a new once etc - or manualy change to smaller disk offering (DB edit) and later via UI/API to correct (same size) disk offering (or bigger if you want to really resize) I can try to share a patch in a non-developer, copy/paste way - in case you want to patch your ACS to support this (as explained at the begining of the email...) Hope that helps Cheers On Thu, 13 Dec 2018 at 13:50, Melanie Desaive <m.desa...@heinlein-support.de> wrote: > Hi all, > > we are currently reorganizing our SAN Setup and I would like to > introduce new storage tags on my existing volumes. > > I was naively assuming to simply change the tags or offering by GUI or > API calls. > > Does not seem to work.
