HEAT template allows use to create a Cinder volume. However, I cannot mark it as "bootable" using the template. There is a command line : cinder set-bootable <volume-id> True However, I want to do the same using the HOT template. Anyone knows how to do this ?
Hi, you can make a volume bootable adding the propertie image: <IMAGE_ID>
heat_template_version: 2013-05-23
...
resources:
...
the_resource:
type: OS::Cinder::Volume
properties:
description: <OWN_DESCRIPTION>
image: <IMAGE_ID>
name: <VOLUME_NAME>
size: <GB>
There is an attribute bootable: True that marks a volume as bootable
Thanks for that Eduardo. But it looks like "bootable" is not recognized as a property. Its an attribute. So, adding the property : bootable : true gives me an error saying that this is not a valid property.
I do not want to use a glance image as a source for this volume.
Sorry, you are right, it is an attribute. I don't really know if there is a way to modify an existing volume with heat. Cinder-heat ref: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/h...
The bootable setting is automated once you create the volume and map it to the instance. You can't (as far as I know) set an attribute in the template. So, say you have:
instance_volume:
type: OS::Cinder::Volume
properties:
name: "instance_volume"
size: 10
And then you want this to become a boot device for your resource. You'll do:
instance: type: OS::Nova::Server properties: name: "instance_name" ... ... block_device_mapping: [{ device_name: "vda", volume_id : { get_resource : instance_volume }, delete_on_termination : "true" }]
And the created volume will be automatically set as bootable:
[stack@undercloud ~]$ openstack volume show instance_volume|grep bootable
| bootable | true
