You can create volume types and expose them to one or more tenants for use in volume creation. Volume types can define a vSphere storage profile and default adapter type.
Note: Barbican encryption is not supported for volumes or volume types. You can create a volume type with
vmware:storage_profile
set to a vSphere VM Storage Policy with encryption enabled to create volume with encryption. The following restrictions apply:
- Empty data volume can be created with volume type with encryption policy.
- To create a volume with encryption from a Glance image, the Glance image must be created with encryption (e.g. snapshot a Nova instance that is created with encryption to create the Glance image).
- To attach a volume with encryption to a Nova instance, the Nova instance must be created with encryption.
