Improve volume migration without using secondary storage if possible #3404
Description
Currently, a volume migration from one primary storage to another primary storage pool happens via the secondary storage (or a caching storage pool if available). It's possible that both the primary storages are reachable from one-another and in which case the migration can happen directly. In case of VMware, (did not test but per tribal knowledge) a snapshot is taken then it is copied to secondary storage then copied the OVA down to new storage, then a volume is deployed from that template. The aim of the issue is to ask if future versions can have the volume migration improved.

@rhtyd, i think this was implemented for vmware (i worked on it) is there a more generic solution envisioned?
if not this should go to a future milestone.

I think @shwstppr explored this recently, we may propose enhancement/feature after 4.15
