The REST API of Nova only accepts UUIDs [1]. The translation from object name to its UUID (like volume name to its UUID) is usually done via the novaclient. That's why I added the python-novaclient as affected project and marked it as invalid for the Nova project.

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Invalid Status in python-novaclient: New Bug description: Nova version 2.32.0 When we want to attach an existing volume to an exiting instance then it accepts only volume uuid to specify for attaching to the instance. for example name of the instance : test_vm name of the volume my-volume I did : nova volume-attach test_vm my-volume Expected result: it should allow instance to attach the volume. Actual result: ERROR (NotFound): Volume my-volume could not be found. (HTTP 404) (Request-ID: req-0ba9225c-cc39-44b6-a85b-758cc2c97e2c) It should also accept volume name if its unique throughout all the volume names like it allows instance name instead of UUID.
