so I've been using packstack to test my upgrade. I used RHOS 2.1 this time and follow the steps above. For #5 I merged a generated packstack answer file with the original answer file from the install. Then I ran packstack --answer-file with the merged file. Results are the same. volumes and snapshots tables are empty as shown. cinder-manage db sync throws the same error I get when running packstack.
