================================
Launch an instance from a volume
================================
You can boot instances from a volume instead of an image.
To complete these tasks, use these parameters on the
:command:`openstack server create` command:
.. tabularcolumns:: |p{0.3\textwidth}|p{0.25\textwidth}|p{0.4\textwidth}|
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
:widths: 30 15 30
* - Task

- Information
* - Boot an instance from an image and attach a non-bootable
volume.
- ``--block-device``
- :ref:`Boot_instance_from_image_and_attach_non-bootable_volume`
* - Create a volume from an image and boot an instance from that
volume.
- ``--boot-from-volume`` and ``--image``; ``--block-device``
- :ref:`Create_volume_from_image_and_boot_instance`
* - Boot from an existing source image, volume, or snapshot.

* - Attach an ephemeral disk to an instance.
- ``--ephemeral``
- :ref:`Attach_swap_or_ephemeral_disk_to_an_instance`
.. note::
To attach a volume to a running instance, refer to the
:cinder-doc:`Cinder documentation
<cli/cli-manage-volumes.html#attach-a-volume-to-an-instance>`.
.. note::
The maximum limit on the number of disk devices allowed to attach to
a single server is configurable with the option
:oslo.config:option:`compute.max_disk_devices_to_attach`.
.. _Boot_instance_from_image_and_attach_non-bootable_volume:
Boot instance from image and attach non-bootable volume
-------------------------------------------------------
You can create a non-bootable volume and attach that volume to an instance that
you boot from an image.
To create a non-bootable volume, do not create it from an image. The
volume must be entirely empty with no partition table and no file
system.

+--------------------------------------+----------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
Rather than relying on nova to create the volume from the image, it is also
possible to pre-create the volume before creating the instance. This can be
useful when you want more control over the created volume, such as enabling
encryption.
#. List available images, noting the ID of the image that you wish to use.

.. note::
If you want to create a volume to a specific storage backend, you need
to use an image which has the ``cinder_img_volume_type`` property. For
more information, refer to the :cinder-doc:`cinder docs
</cli/cli-manage-volumes.html#volume-types>`.
.. note::
A bootable encrypted volume can also be created by adding the
``--type ENCRYPTED_VOLUME_TYPE`` parameter to the volume create command.
For example:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack volume create \
--type ENCRYPTED_VOLUME_TYPE --image IMAGE --size SIZE \
test-volume
This requires an encrypted volume type which must be created ahead of
time by an admin. Refer to
:horizon-doc:`the horizon documentation <admin/manage-volumes.html#create-an-encrypted-volume-type>`.
for more information.
#. Create an instance, specifying the volume as the boot device.
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server create \

details.

.. _Attach_swap_or_ephemeral_disk_to_an_instance:
Attach swap or ephemeral disk to an instance
--------------------------------------------
Use the ``--swap`` option of the ``openstack server`` command to attach a swap
disk on boot or the ``--ephemeral`` option to attach an ephemeral disk on boot.
The latter can be specified multiple times. When you terminate the instance,
both disks are deleted.
Boot an instance with a 512 MB swap disk and 2 GB ephemeral disk.
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack server create \
--flavor FLAVOR --image IMAGE --network NETWORK \
--ephemeral size=2 --swap 512
--wait test-server
.. note::
The flavor defines the maximum swap and ephemeral disk size. You
cannot exceed these maximum values.
