HOT template - boot instance from volume
I'm trying to boot an instance from a volume using a HOT template. Unfortunately the creation of the instance fails (I just get a very generic "Error" as message) while the volume creation works. If I create an instance from an image things work as they should. As I only have access via Horizon I fear that my debugging capabilities are quite limited.
Here's my template (I use hardcoded parameters for testing)
heat_template_version: 2013-05-23
description: boot instance from volume
resources:
my_instance:
type: OS::Nova::Server
depends_on: cinder_volume
properties:
key_name: my_key
flavor: c1.micro
name: test
networks: [{"network": "private"}]
block_device_mapping: [{ device_name: "vda", volume_id : { get_resource : cinder_volume }, delete_on_termination : "true" }]
cinder_volume:
type: OS::Cinder::Volume

This question has been asked before, but I didn't find any solution.
