+Ironic Boot-from-Volume with DevStack
+=====================================
+
+This guide shows how to setup DevStack for enabling boot-from-volume feature,
+which has been supported from the Pike release.
+
+This scenario shows how to setup DevStack to enable nodes to boot from volumes
+managed by cinder with VMs as baremetal servers.
+
+DevStack Configuration
+======================
+
+The following is ``local.conf`` that will setup DevStack with 3 VMs that are
+registered in ironic. A volume connector with IQN is created for each node.
+These connectors can be used to connect volumes created by cinder. The detailed
+description for DevStack is at :ref:`deploy_devstack`.

+
+After the environment is built, you can create a volume with cinder and request
+an instance with the volume to nova::
+
+    source ~/devstack/openrc
+
+    # query the image id of the default cirros image
+    image=$(openstack image show $DEFAULT_IMAGE_NAME -f value -c id)
+
+    # create keypair
+    ssh-keygen
+    openstack keypair create --public-key ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub default
+
+    # create volume
+    volume=$(openstack volume create --image $image --size 1 my-volume -f value -c id)
+
+    # spawn instance
+    openstack server create --flavor baremetal --volume $volume --key-name default testing
+
+You can also run an integration test that an instance is booted from a remote
+volume with tempest in the environment::
+
+    cd /opt/stack/tempest
+    tox -e all-plugin -- ironic_tempest_plugin.tests.scenario.test_baremetal_boot_from_volume
