unable to attach volume to an instance
2 node openstack havana with ubuntu. Cinder volume running on compute & cinder api, schedular running on controller.
Iv attached 10TB volume from netapp to the compute node using nfs.
i am trying to launch redhat instance with iso image of rhel6.5. flavor m1.small
volume gets attached when i launch instance using command line root@heos-ctrls:~# nova boot --flavor 2 --image 367d962b-6cb5-44d0-b014-9f01a8603dfd --key-name mykey --nic net-id=bfdd989c-bf99-4996-8699-6a3bd01ad618 --block-device-mapping /dev/vdc=7ba9159c-ca8c-4de2-b43a-f5eebaae05b5 vm1
here instance gets created & volume is detected during iso boot and i can go ahead and install rhel on this volume without any issues.
but from horizon volume doesnt get attached. it says attaching & goes off and volume stays in unattached state. bcoz of this when i boot the instance i get error no disk found during disk partitioning.
i am able to attach volume to cirros qcow2 image, but not iso image.
So , if you work via CLI, nova at bootup does failover to bootable ISO image and start install from ISO to cinder volume. It works via CLI - am I correct ?
yes you are right
with cli, nova will launch the instance then boot it from image. then i can continue with installation of rhel i can see the volume attached to it and i can partition the volume and install the rhel on that volume. installation gets successful after reboot i can boot directly from the volume. but doesn't work from horizon dashboarf
That's interesting. It's official bug in RDO Havana. I mean failure to failover to bootable ISO image and start install. Is it Havana-8 ?
