Bug Description

In heat there is no option to set the destination_type value of the block_device_mapping_v2.
In case of attaching a CD device to an instance at boot time you need a new volume for the image because heat sets the destination type of image automatically to ‘volume’.
Adding destination_type to the block_device_mapping_v2 properties and by setting it to ‘local’ will allow attaching a CD device at boot time without needing to create a new volume for the image.

I have exactly the same issue as this old one:

Reply in the above old issue is not a workaround for the problem above.
Basically user should be allowed to chose source and destination type for a block device.
I have a cluster without ability to create persistent volumes and can not attach additional block device created from an image (cdrom) using heat.

It seems that Nova does not support source image destination local combination since this bug fix:

I still have no idea why. If someone could explain it I would really appreciate it.
