This bug was fixed in the package horizon - 3:12.0.3-0ubuntu1~cloud2 ---------------
horizon (3:12.0.3-0ubuntu1~cloud2) xenial-pike; urgency=medium . * d/p/drop-devicename-creating-server-with-image-boot-to-volume.patch: When creating a server using an image boot source to new volume, horizon specified device_name 'vda'. If for instance we use an image with disk_bus type scsi, horizon will name the device_name as 'vda' when it should be 'sda'. As per BDMv2 documentation, it's best to not specify device_name.

Meaning that if for instance we use an image with scsi decoration[1] horizon will name the device_name as 'vda' when it should be 'sda'. Inside the instance, it will be 'sda' but horizon will show 'vda', if you then attach a second volume the volume will be seen as 'sda' in horizon, but 'sdb' in the instance and so on ... creating a inconsistency, and can also cause in certain circumstance VM to have issue to successfully reboot, hanging with "No bootable device". There is 2 functions (thus fixes) separated as follow: * setFinalSpecBootImageToVolume() which already uses BDMv2, in this case it was just a matter to remove the 'device_name' attribute as suggested per documentation[2]. This function take care of boot image from volume scenario. -> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/644982/ * setFinalSpecBootFromVolumeDevice() which currently uses BDMv1 (legacy), in this case an upgrade to BDMv2 without setting up a 'device_name' attribute is sufficient to fix the issue. This function take care of booting from existing volume and snapshot. -> https://review.openstack.org/648328/ Basically, with theses 2 fixes, it is no longer relying on "vol_device_name= 'vda'" as it was before as it is no longer needed since Liberty (again as per documentation) An instance with scsi decoration will properly show 'sda' and without will show 'vda'.'vda' will still be taken when it's the right thing to do, but not because it is hardcorded like it used to before these fixes. [1] - scsi meta decoration: hw_disk_bus='scsi' hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi' [2]- https://docs.openstack.org/nova/stein/user/block-device-mapping [TEST CASE] Here's some use case I can think of .... With fix 1 in setFinalSpecBootImageToVolume(): * Test #1: Use scsi meta data image decoration: hw_disk_bus='scsi' hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi' 1. Go to the Horizon dashboard and launch an instance 2. Select "Boot from image (creates a new volume)" as Instance Boot Source Expected result: Instance should starts with /dev/sda as root device, instead of 'dev/vda' * Test #2: Use no scsi meta data image decoration 1. Go to the Horizon dashboard and launch an instance 2. Select "Boot from image (creates a new volume)" as Instance Boot Source Expected result: Instance will remain with /dev/vda as root device. No behaviour change here. With fix 2 in setFinalSpecBootFromVolumeDevice(): * Test #1: Creating a server using an existing volume or volume snapshot. [POTENTIAL REGRESSION] * none expected, we basically leave nova to determine the device_name instead of having it force for Horizon by removing the 'device_name' attribute, and we also take benefit of it to upgrade some part of the code from legacy BDMv1 in flavor of BDMv2. * Note: This will not fix device name inconsistency already created instance, but will fix newly created instance after having applied the package from where these fixes have been first introduced. * Both fixes aren't dependant and can be SRU'd separately.
