Bug Description
To create a bootable volume from an image and launch an instance from this volume, we uses the --block-device parameter.
For example:
$ nova boot --flavor FLAVOR --block-device
source=
NAME
The parameters are:
--flavor FLAVOR. The flavor ID or name.
--block-device source=
When you list the volumes to see the bootable volume , the display name will be blank.
For example,
nova boot --flavor 2 \
--block-device source=
myInstanceF
$ cinder list
+------
| ID | Status | Display Name | Size | Volume Type | Bootable | Attached to |
+------
| 2fff50ab... | in-use | | 10 | None | true | 2e65c854... |
+------
Now if I want to update the Display Name of the bootable volumn,a user need to execute
following (rename option is not available in Horizon)
$ cinder rename 2fff50ab... bootableVolume
Proposal :
It would be good for a end user to have a optional argument, where he can provide
the name for the bootable volume going to create. A optional argument for --block-device name=VOLUME_NAME
i.e
$ nova boot --flavor FLAVOR --block-device
source=
NAME
