Hi,

with nova rescue you only get access to the root disk if it's an  
ephemeral disk.
If the instance is booted from volume you can shutdown the instance,  
reset the volume state to "available" and attach-status to "detached"  
with CLI (because you can't actually detach the root volume), then you  
should be able to attach that volume to a different instance.
Other volumes of the affected instance can be detached and re-attached  
with Horizon or CLI to another instance if you need them all for the  
rescue mode. But with this workaround you can't use the "nova rescue"  
command, so you have to revert all those attachments to the original  
state manually.

Regards,
Eugen
