[Yahoo-eng-team] [Bug 1436314] Re: Option to boot VM only from volume is not available
There are not any activity on Tempest side in long-term, and we could not get enough feedback for Nova team questions. It would be nice to drop this bug report from Tempest queue. ** Changed in: tempest Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!

[Yahoo-eng-team] [Bug 1436314] Re: Option to boot VM only from volume is not available
This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on. In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

[Yahoo-eng-team] [Bug 1436314] Re: Option to boot VM only from volume is not available
It is enough to specify --boot-volume option, (see https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/BlockDeviceConfig for more details about the block device mapping syntax). Setting max_local_block_devices to 0 means that any request that attempts to create a local disk will fail. This option is meant to limit the number of local discs (so root local disc that is the result of --image being used, and any other ephemeral and swap disks). AFAIK Tempest by it's very nature will test both booting instances from volumes and from images downloaded to hypervisor local storage, so it makes very little sense to me to attempt to limit the environment tempest runs against to allow only boot from volume and then expect to be able to run tests that spawn instances from images. max_local_block_devices set to 0 does not mean that nova will automatically convert --images to volumes and boot instances from volumes - it just means that all request that attempt to create a local disk will fail. ** Changed in: nova Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!

[Yahoo-eng-team] [Bug 1436314] Re: Option to boot VM only from volume is not available
@Soumit I tried on my local env by setting 'max_local_block_devices' to 0 in nova.conf and gets below error in Tempest. ERROR (BadRequest): Block Device Mapping is Invalid: You specified more local devices than the limit allows (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req- 3ef100c7-b5c5-4a2d-a5da-8344726336e2) Can you please let us know is that all setting you do for making nova boot from volume only. Also provide more information about its use cases etc. ** Also affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
