    Description

      Description of problem: This is a usability issue, where the operation should, and does, fail but no error is returned to end user. IMHO this is bad practice as it may confuse the user who gave the command didn't get and error but didn't get his requested action preformed.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      puppet-cinder-13.3.1-0.20181013114719.25b1ba3.el7ost.noarch
      python2-os-brick-2.5.3-0.20180816081254.641337b.el7ost.noarch
      openstack-cinder-13.0.1-0.20181013185427.31ff628.el7ost.noarch
      python2-cinderclient-4.0.1-0.20180809133302.460229c.el7ost.noarch
      python-cinder-13.0.1-0.20181013185427.31ff628.el7ost.noarch

      How reproducible:
      Every time

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Create a volume in on AZ:
      cinder create 1 --volume-type tripleo --availability-zone nova --name volWithSnap

      id 20646f60-4356-40ae-ac86-40a849e60668

      2. Create snapshot of said volume
      cinder snapshot-create 20646f60-4356-40ae-ac86-40a849e60668

      3. Try to migrate to other backend/AZ
      #cinder retype 20646f60-4356-40ae-ac86-40a849e60668 nfs --migration-policy on-demand

      4. No error returned, if this failed due to volumes snapshots what wasn't I notified? This is the bug lack of user notification.

      (overcloud) [stack@undercloud-0 ~]$ cinder list
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      ID Status Name Size Volume Type Bootable Attached to

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      20646f60-4356-40ae-ac86-40a849e60668 available volWithSnap 1 tripleo false

      Vol remains in same backend/AZ which is fine.
      cinder show 20646f60-4356-40ae-ac86-40a849e60668

      id 20646f60-4356-40ae-ac86-40a849e60668
      os-vol-host-attr:host hostgroup@tripleo_iscsi#tripleo_iscsi

      Actual results:
      Well the migration failed as it should due to snapshots.
      But user didn't get any noticed that it failed or should not be assumed to have passed.

      Expected results:
      "Can't migrate vol due to snapshots.."
