2. High-Level Task Flow

The high-level task flow for Cinder is as follows:

  1. The tenant creates a volume.

    For example, the tenant creates a 30G volume called vol1.

    $cinder create --display-name vol1 30
  2. This gives the tenant a volume id 521752a6-acf6-4b2d-bc7a-119f9148cd8c. The tenant attaches that volume to a virtual machine (VM) 616fb98f-46ca-475e-917e-2563e5a8cd19:

    For example A:

    $ nova volume-attach 616fb98f-46ca-475e-917e-2563e5a8cd19 521752a6-acf6-4b2d-bc7a-119f9148cd8c /dev/vdb
