OpenStack: Cinder volume creation takes an abnormal length of time
Applies to
- OpenStack Cinder
- ONTAP
Issue
Cinder volume creation takes overly long to complete. Examples of long cinder volume create times are:
- An "empty" Cinder volume (one not based on an image), could take 60+ seconds to create
- A Cinder volume based on a small cirros image, takes 7-8+ minutes to create
- This is even with image-volume cache enabled and the Cinder driver pulling from cache
