Hi Greg -
This is not so well documented in Grizzly, but see  folsom docs:
http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/admin/content/boot-from-volume.html

to boot from a volume:
nova boot --flavor <f> --block_device_mapping vda=<vol_id>:::0
test_from_vol

to boot from a snapshot of a bootable volume:
nova boot --flavor <f> --block_device_mapping vda=<snap_id>:snap::0
test_from_snap

Subject:        [Openstack] Booting from a volume snapshot via the CLI




I can't figure out what options I need to use with "nova boot" in order to
boot from a bootable volume snapshot.  Can somebody hit me with the clue
stick please?  Thanks in advance.
