[Bug 1325726] [NEW] It isn't clear from the UI that Volume Types can only really be configured from the CLI

 

Public bug reported:

>From the Create Volume Type dialog, I'm told "The volume type defines
the characteristics of a volume. It usually maps to a set of
capabilities of the storage back-end driver to be used for this volume.
Examples: "Performance", "SSD", "Backup", etc."

Yet all I can actually do within the dialog is give it a name. If this
functionality is only accessible through the CLI, it would be nice to
mention that in the UI, and not hope they find that out through the
Docs.
