Re: [openstack-dev] [nova][cinder] reason(s) for not booting instances from (bootable) volumes

2016-09-30 Thread Matthew Booth
Nothing architectural that I can think of, we just don't support it.
Rebuild current takes an image, but I guess it could reasonable take most
of the arguments to spawn. We'd have to think hard about what it meant for
arguments to be present/omitted, i.e. are we specifying new disks, or
redefining old ones, but if the intent could be represented in the api it
could certainly be implemented.

[openstack-dev] [nova][cinder] reason(s) for not booting instances from (bootable) volumes

2016-09-30 Thread Tikkanen, Viktor (Nokia - FI/Espoo)
Hi!

I refer here to my question sent earlier to AskOpenstack:

https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/97425/why-it-is-not-possible-to-rebuild-an-instance-from-a-bootable-volume/

Are there some (architectural, performance, security etc.) reasons why 
rebuilding instances from (bootable) volumes is not implemented/supported?

-Viktor
