      Epic Goal*

      We need to document and support CNS volume migration using native vCenter UI, so as customers can migrate volumes between datastores.
       
      Why is this important? (mandatory)

      Often our customers are looking to migrate volumes between datastores because they are running out of space in current datastore or want to move to more performant datastore. Previously this was almost impossible or required modifying PV specs by hand to accomplish this. It was also very error prone.

       Scenarios (mandatory) 

      As an vCenter/Openshift admin, I want to migrate CNS volumes between datastores for existing vSphere CSI persistent volumes (PVs).

       Dependencies (internal and external) (mandatory)

      This feature depends on VMware vCenter Server 7.0 Update 3o or vCenter Server 8.0 Update 2.

      Contributing Teams(and contacts) (mandatory) 

      Our expectation is that teams would modify the list below to fit the epic. Some epics may not need all the default groups but what is included here should accurately reflect who will be involved in delivering the epic.

      • Development - 
      • Documentation -
      • QE - 
      • PX - 
      • Others -

      Acceptance Criteria (optional)

      This is mostly a documentation epic, which will change current wording about unsupported CNS volume migration using vCenter UI.

      As part of this epic, we also want to remove the CLI tool we developed for https://github.com/openshift/vmware-vsphere-csi-driver-operator/blob/master/docs/cns-migration.md from the payload.

      Drawbacks or Risk (optional)

      Reasons we should consider NOT doing this such as: limited audience for the feature, feature will be superseded by other work that is planned, resulting feature will introduce substantial administrative complexity or user confusion, etc.

      Done - Checklist (mandatory)

      The following points apply to all epics and are what the OpenShift team believes are the minimum set of criteria that epics should meet for us to consider them potentially shippable. We request that epic owners modify this list to reflect the work to be completed in order to produce something that is potentially shippable.

      • CI Testing -  Basic e2e automationTests are merged and completing successfully
      • Documentation - Content development is complete.
      • QE - Test scenarios are written and executed successfully.
      • Technical Enablement - Slides are complete (if requested by PLM)
      • Engineering Stories Merged
      • All associated work items with the Epic are closed
      • Epic status should be "Release Pending"
