Hi Marty There are 2 options
Option 1 : You can create a template from a uploaded volume and lauch a vm https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.20/apis/createTemplate.html Use the volume id parameter Option 2 : You can use the attach volume api with deviceid parameter as 0 https://cloudstack.apache.org/api/apidocs-4.20/apis/attachVolume.html Steps 1. Launch a vm with a root disk 2. Stop the vm and detach the root disk 3. Attached the uploaded volume as device id 0 4. Start the vm Regards Kiran From: Marty Godsey <mar...@rudio.net.INVALID> Date: Thursday, 6 March 2025 at 1:07 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: Attaching an uploaded volume Thank you, Kiran. I will update this week. On a slightly different note, what is the best way to create a new instance from an uploaded volume? Not a OVA/XVA, etc. Just an exported disk image.

Hi Marty We have fixed the issue of attaching an uploaded volume in the latest 4.19.2 release. https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.19.2.0/releasenotes/changes.html https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/10267 Regards Kiran From: Marty Godsey <mar...@rudio.net.INVALID> Date: Thursday, 6 March 2025 at 8:57 AM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: Attaching an uploaded volume 4.19.0.1 I think.

When I try to attach it to a VM, I get an error that states “Volume: KineticAPP-C is in Uploaded. It should be in Ready or Allocated state” The compute instance I am trying to attach it to has never been booted. The volumes I have are a C drive and data drive, so I want the VM to use these as its root and data disk. Do I have to do something different to allow CS to mount the volume? Also, this is not a “if I can’t get it working, it’s bad” scenario. If this doesn't work, no data will be lost. This is an exercise to see if we can recover a failed server in this manner.

At this phase, the state of the volume is Uploaded - that is expected. When you attempt to attach it to a VM, it migrates to primary store. This is when the volume's state transitions to Ready. P.S Images do not come through on the Mailing list, so we can't see the image you have uploaded. Thanks, Pearl ________________________________ From: Marty Godsey <mar...@rudio.net.INVALID> Sent: March 5, 2025 5:31 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Attaching an uploaded volume Hello everyone. I have uploaded some volumes that I want to attach to a VM, but they seem to be stuck in the uploaded state. There are no errors, they are just simple sitting at uploaded. [cid:image001.png@01DB8DF3.ED3BF320] My goal is to build a VM using these images as a test restore. Is there a way to create a compute instance from an uploaded volume? Regards, Marty
