I think renaming the existent volume to a name that cinder/nova-volume recognize is enough. On Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 8:48 AM, Daniel Vázquez daniel2d2...@gmail.com wrote: If we create a volume out of openstack context (it's is not created on nova database) only on system level. Can we after add

Yep! or maybe ... - we've an existent manual logical volume my-custom-volume. - create a new nova volume volume-0xx (openstack generate all database and configurations need) - delete the newest volume-0xx - rename my-custom-volume to volume-0xx - one coffe cup! :) I think ok, if no

Yeah!! Jon, I'm agree with you about organization/separation LVM groups, this is for very very very special situation. Any case if I use nova pattern labeling via logical volumen creation or via renaming label, I hope can switch the content of this custom logical volument to use with openstack, an
