+    This test is for snapshotting an instance/volume and attaching the volume
+    created from snapshot to the instance booted from snapshot.
+    The following is the scenario outline:
+    1. Boot an instance "instance1"
+    2. Create a volume "volume1"
+    3. Attach volume1 to instance1
+    4. Create a filesystem on volume1
+    5. Mount volume1
+    6. Create a file which timestamp is written in volume1
+    7. Unmount volume1
+    8. Detach volume1 from instance1
+    9. Get a snapshot "snapshot_from_volume" of volume1
+    10. Get a snapshot "snapshot_from_instance" of instance1
+    11. Boot an instance "instance2" from snapshot_from_instance
+    12. Create a volume "volume2"  from snapshot_from_volume
+    13. Attach volume2 to instance2
+    14. Check the existence of a file which created at 6. in volume2
