Create a volume
---------------
#. Source the ``demo`` credentials to perform
the following steps as a non-administrative project:
.. code-block:: console
$ . demo-openrc
.. end
#. Create a 1 GB volume:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack volume create --size 1 volume1
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| attachments | [] |
| availability_zone | nova |
| bootable | false |
| consistencygroup_id | None |
| created_at | 2016-03-08T14:30:48.391027 |
| description | None |
| encrypted | False |
| id | a1e8be72-a395-4a6f-8e07-856a57c39524 |
| multiattach | False |

| replication_status | disabled |
| size | 1 |
| snapshot_id | None |
| source_volid | None |

| updated_at | None |
| user_id | 684286a9079845359882afc3aa5011fb |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
.. end
#. After a short time, the volume status should change from ``creating``
to ``available``:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack volume list
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
| ID | Display Name | Status | Size | Attached to |
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
| a1e8be72-a395-4a6f-8e07-856a57c39524 | volume1 | available | 1 | |
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+-------------+
.. end
Attach the volume to an instance
--------------------------------
#. Attach a volume to an instance:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server add volume INSTANCE_NAME VOLUME_NAME
.. end
Replace ``INSTANCE_NAME`` with the name of the instance and ``VOLUME_NAME``
with the name of the volume you want to attach to it.
**Example**
Attach the ``volume1`` volume to the ``provider-instance`` instance:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server add volume provider-instance volume1
.. end
.. note::
This command provides no output.
#. List volumes:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack volume list
+--------------------------------------+--------------+--------+------+--------------------------------------------+
| ID | Display Name | Status | Size | Attached to |
+--------------------------------------+--------------+--------+------+--------------------------------------------+
| a1e8be72-a395-4a6f-8e07-856a57c39524 | volume1 | in-use | 1 | Attached to provider-instance on /dev/vdb |
+--------------------------------------+--------------+--------+------+--------------------------------------------+
.. end
#. Access your instance using SSH and use the ``fdisk`` command to verify
presence of the volume as the ``/dev/vdb`` block storage device:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/vda: 1073 MB, 1073741824 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 130 cylinders, total 2097152 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Disk /dev/vdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
.. end
.. note::
You must create a file system on the device and mount it
to use the volume.
