Bug Description

Currently in VNX Cinder driver, a full-copy will be performed when creating a volume from snapshot or volume. This is time-consuming.
In order to address this issue, VNX Cinder driver can provide an alternative way which is performing a snap-copy when creating a volume from snapshot or volume. This can accelerate the proccess a lot. And if the user wants to perform a full-copy on the snap -copy volume, he can trigger migration or retype on it.

    Snap copy feature for EMC VNX Cinder driver

    Currently in VNX Cinder driver, a full-copy will be performed
    when creating a volume from snapshot or volume and it is
    time-consuming. This patch is going to address this issue by
    providing an alternative way which is performing a snap-copy
    when creating a volume from snapshot or volume. This can
    accelerate the proccess a lot. And if the user wants to perform
    a full-copy on the snap-copy volume, migration or retype can be
    triggered on it. And we implement update_migrated_volume to
    support migration and retype on the snap-copy volume.
