Everett Toews commented on JCLOUDS-514: --------------------------------------- For the record, there are two similarly named things that were causing me a bit of confusion. AFAICT, when booting a Nova server you can attach block devices or boot from block devices. The flags in the Nova are similar: block-device-mapping == attach block devices block-device == boot from block device > Need to be able to attach block volumes at instance creation in Nova > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JCLOUDS-514 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-514 > Project: jclouds > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: jclouds-compute, jclouds-core > Reporter: Jasdeep Hundal > Labels: features > Fix For: 1.8.0 > > > The Nova API allows for attaching block volumes to an instance at creation > time, it would be nice to access this feature through JClouds. > Example Nova JSON: > {"server": {"name": "jasdeep-test", "imageRef": > "ed5912af-ff25-4ff3-bbec-6c00898c14b8", "block_device_mapping": > [{"volume_size": "", "volume_id": "f696b2aa-4c83-40ad-ab25-984b59dd2e3c", > "delete_on_termination": "1", "device_name": "vda"}], "flavorRef": "small", > "max_count": 1, "min_count": 1}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
