Currently the backend volume is created lazily for raw volume create operations. The backend volume is created during the initial attach. This is to minimize unnecessary volume migrations across datastores in the backend which may be required if the backend volume is not accessible to instance VM's ESX host. In certain vCenter configurations, it may be required to disable this lazy creation. This would reduce the time spent in the backend during volume attach. Introducing a config option to disable lazy volume create if necessary. Change-Id: I3feb6b382ff75eb53d53f145ae3773b6320e703c Closes-bug: #1739390
