(Get the code!)
We make use of one of the Cinder drivers so we can have our volumes on a Dell PowerVault storage device.
We use encrypted volumes, and we know that it is currently not possible to manage/import encrypted volumes.
(See here https:/
This means, if we have an encrypted volume from a previous OpenStack deployment, we cannot get this volume into Cinder in the new deployment.
We are forced to create a new volume, and copy the data.
We simply want to have the option of providing the LUKS encryption key that the encrypted volume uses, when importing/managing a volume.
One use case we would like is that this would probably let us use `cryptsetup` to create and prepopulate an encrypted volume, before OpenStack is even deployed. We have been able to use `cryptsetup open` to decrypt the encrypted volumes and access the data within.
But to be clear, if this only works/supported for encrypted volumes created by Cinder itself, that is fine.
