<div dir="ltr">You could manually convert your qcow image to raw and import it into Glance. I'm quite sure I tried that when I was doing my testing and it worked. <br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra">

<div dir="ltr">That makes sense!! I'm using qcow2 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 Jow</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><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>
