While you loose QCOW2 snapshot capabilities with KVM, you still
have possibility to perform a live LVM snapshot, provided the RAW
volume is backed by LVM.<br>

yes. I was looking for another good reason to
move to Grizzly and i think i just found it
hahaha. I was think about moving in a week or
two, but... will be earlier than expected. Is
there any workaround for this in Folsom? Thanks

<div>Are you using a raw image or
qcow2? Only raw images work with
Folsom. Grizzly will convert qcow to
raw for you.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi
guys, i'm having
some problems
trying to boot an
instance from a
volume. I've
created a bootable
volume with this
sentence:
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>root@cocinero:~#
cinder
--os-username
demo
--os-tenant-name
demo
--os-password
MyPassword
create
--image-id
"5fd4c15d-da66-400a-ae75-7fe2feb9a257"
--display-name
vol_ubuntu_12_4
3<br clear="all">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That worked
great, i even
see the volume
in dashboard.
Then i tried
to boot an
instance, with
this line:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>nova
--os-username
demo
--os-tenant-name
demo
--os-password
MyPassword
boot --image
"Ubuntu-12.04.02-PSI"
--flavor 1
--block_device_mapping
vda=e25e9112-9c82-45c2-b16e-660efd0de891:::0
prueba_boot_volumen1<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After
executing that
i go to the
VNC and see:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Booting
from hard
disk...</div>
<div>Boot
failed, not
bootable disk </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So...
something is
wrong. I
checked the
logs while
creating the
volumen and i
havent found
anything bad. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I also
tried using: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>root@cocinero:~#
nova
--os-username
demo
--os-tenant-name
demo
--os-password
MyPassword
volume-create
--image-id
5fd4c15d-da66-400a-ae75-7fe2feb9a257
--display-name
volumen-booteable
3<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Instead of
going straight
to cinder.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any ideas?
Thanks!!!</div>
