Just a heads up. There are a few bugs in that area that have been fixed in
Grizzly, and are not yet backported to Folsom stable. Things like deleting the
root volume after terminating a boot from volume instance.

The ability to clone an image to a volume was only recently added to cinder,
so there is no automatic clone on boot in horizon yet. You will have to
manually
create a volume from an image and then boot from it.
For older versions of openstack, the instructions are here:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/boot-f
rom-volume.html
In folsom you can skip the mount and copy step and just create a volume
directly from an image:
IMAGE_ID=f4addd24-4e8a-46bb-b15d-fae2591f1a35
cinder create --image-id $IMAGE_ID --display-name my-volume 10
VOLUME_ID=uuid from above command $ nova boot --image $IMAGE_ID
--flavor 2 --key_name mykey --block_device_mapping vda=$VOLUME_ID

Good morning,
I have noticed I was confused about the volume concept and booting from
volume. I was thinking, when I clicked in Horizon boot from volume AND
selected an HVM image (located at glance) that image was being dumped to the
volume, and following times that volume would be able to boot by it's own. But
have seen when I terminate de instance I'm not getting my purpose and I'm not
able to later boot from that volume with preserved changes (configs and so)..
How could I manage for getting my goal??. We're used to use the vms with
XenCenter and then I was able to stop a vm and later to boot it. I'm looking
for a
similar manner with Openstack. I though I was get my goal by selecting booting
from volume AND launching and image..
Any help would be very appreciated,
Best regards
