The patch provided fixed the issue for me when doing virtio-scsi boot from RBD volume + config drive on Ocata. However, I do see a lingering issue on an instance which has 2 virtio-scsi RBD volumes attached. One volume is the boot device and is marked bootable in Cinder. The other volume is a storage disk and is not marked bootable in cinder. Nova keeps generating the libvirt XML with the storage disk listed as LUN 0, and the boot disk listed as LUN 1, breaking the instance boot. Viewing the volume in Cinder shows the correct boot device listed as mounted at /dev/sda. For reference below: Boot volume: a63ea64e-a4fe-4bdb-98d9-a9a48e773f1a Data volume: e82a7785-1c8c-4931-8948-4e16838f840e ubuntu@7b25e53036d7:~$ openstack volume show
