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::
. ~/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
