Thanks for the reply.
I am using Essex released version (2012-1 that was released in april). Here are the outputs of  nova command
 
$ nova volume-snapshot-list
+----+-----------+-----------+----------------------+------+
| ID | Volume ID |   Status  |     Display Name     | Size |
+----+-----------+-----------+----------------------+------+
| 2  | 4         | available | test-volume-snapshot | 1    |
+----+-----------+-----------+----------------------+------+
$ nova volume-snapshot-show 2
+---------------------+----------------------+
|       Property      |        Value         |
+---------------------+----------------------+
| created_at          | 2012-05-19 01:22:57  |
| display_description |                      |
| display_name        | test-volume-snapshot |
| id                  | 2                    |
| size                | 1                    |
| status              | available            |
| volume_id           | 4                    |
+---------------------+----------------------+
 
However, when I try to attach the snapshot to a running instance , then I get resource could not be found error. May be volume snapshot create did not actually create a copy of the volume.

This error occurs only when retrieving the details of volume snapshots only. The volume details of the volume created from the scratch shows up correctly.

Hi VJ,

I believe you may have discovered a bug in the current version of
code.  Are you using the latest Folsom version (ie devstack)?  Check
your Horizon logs and you'll notice a number of errors when trying to
perform this operation.  Perhaps some Horizon folks here have some
knowledge of this, otherwise I can look into it further next week and
file a bug if necessary.

Meanwhile, you can use python-novaclient to perform a 'nova
volume-snapshot-show' which is the information that would be reported
from the Horizon details page you're trying to retrieve.

Thanks,
John
