Hi Xian,

Thanks for replying.

I have some data which i wants to be passed to VM. To pass this data,  I
have planned this to attach as an usb disk and this disk will be used
inside the vm to read the data.

What I am looking is for the functionality similar to "-usb" option with
qemu.kvm command.

Please let me know, how it can be achieved in openstack environment.

Thanks
fipuzzles
