The function is called "boot from volume." In Horizon, the Launch Instances dialog will show you a boot from volume section where you can select the volume to boot from. Note that you may need a volume to exist for it to show.
Alternatively, you can use the CLI.

Sent by: [email protected] Hi all, The feature comparison matrix at <http://wiki.openstack.org/Nova/APIFeatureComparison> has a row labelled "AMI's backed by EBS", which suggests to me that there is a way to have nova-compute start a VM with its root store managed by nova-volume. But I haven't been able to find anything that shows how to achieve this. Can anyone provide a pointer?
