Hi VJ,

I believe you may have discovered a bug in the current version of
code.  Are you using the latest Folsom version (ie devstack)?  Check
your Horizon logs and you'll notice a number of errors when trying to
perform this operation.  Perhaps some Horizon folks here have some
knowledge of this, otherwise I can look into it further next week and
file a bug if necessary.

Meanwhile, you can use python-novaclient to perform a 'nova
volume-snapshot-show' which is the information that would be reported
from the Horizon details page you're trying to retrieve.

Thanks,
John
