Hi Shanker,

  Sorry for the late response.  This option 'Storage - Volumes ->
volume_name -> Migrate Volume To Another Primary Storage' is only shown
only for the disk that is already there in a primary storage(Correct me if
wrong). A newly uploaded disk which resides in the secondary storage will
not show this option. I see only 2 options for it 1. Attach disk 2. Delete
disk.
Have tried the process again,

1. Create a new vm with datadisk.
2. Detach volume.
3. Download volume.
4. Upload it back.
5. Attach it to a vm.

It worked perfectly. Storage type also shows as shared. Not sure what
caused the problem last time. Thanks for your response :)

Thanks and Regards,
bala
