From 0b9ae2b39b10ea08b752e61d6be0254728f5b0c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: scottda Date: Thu, 26 May 2016 10:58:01 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify use of cinder manage-snapshot command The snapshot in the 'cinder mansage-snapshot' command refers to a snapshot of a volume, but the documentation mentions "A snapshot is an image created from a running instance". This is misleading since that indicates that it is a Nova snapshot. Also, it should be explicit that the volume refered to in the command is the parent of the snapshot.
