Description Sergey Gotliv 2016-02-18 08:32:07 UTC 
Description of problem:

Cinder retype command fails if volume doesn't have a source type.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

We discovered it in OSP 5.0 but it seems that this issue can 
happen even in the master branch.

How reproducible:
100% on OSP 5.0


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that cinder.conf doesn't specify a default volume type
2. Create volume without specifying volume type
3. Retype this volume to the new type

Actual results:

Retype fails

Expected results:

Volume should get retyped

Additional info:

1. Configuring a default volume type in cinder.conf resolves that issue.
2. Use cinder migrate instead of retype if all you want is to move volume between different backends.
