	Note
	The volume is not bootable because it was not created from an image. The volume is also entirely empty: It has no partition table and no file system.

Run this command to create an instance and boot it with the volume that is attached to this instance. An image is used as boot source:

$ nova boot --flavor 2 --image e0b7734d-2331-42a3-b19e-067adc0da17d \
        --block-device source=volume,id=3195a5a7-fd0d-4ac3-b919-7ba6cbe11d46,dest=volume,shutdown=preserve \
