Bug Fix(es):

• Previously, image operations in cinder failed due to file I/O issues.
  

With this update, you can create volumes from an image in cinder without file I/O issues. (BZ#1476213)

• Previously, the cinder logs contained fixed_key value.
  

With this update, the fixed_key value is not logged. (BZ#1655742)

• Previously, it was not possible to attach a volume on the host due to an issue with 3PAR driver and Fibre Channel World Wide Name.
  

With this update, you can attach Fibre Channel volumes even with a wrong host configuration at the backend. (BZ#1667997)

• Previously, only admin users could set the Volume Type in the glance image using cinder_img_vol_type custom property.
  

With this update, non-admin users can also set the Volume Type in a glance image. (BZ#1671260)
