 +====== Creating new instance ======
 +
 +Creating new instances in OpenStack fall into 3 categories
 +
 +  * Independent isolated instances
 +  * An IDMS Cluster
 +  * An RDF Cluster
 +
 +
 +===== Some notes/warnings =====
 +
 +====== Adding a volume to an instance ======
 +Reference Material [[https://www.darwinbiler.com/openstack-creating-and-attaching-a-volume-into-an-instance/]]
 +
 +When adding a volume to an instance, for example on a MySQL DB Instance you must manually edit the **/etc/fstab**
 +
 +For example, as of now, the IDMS Ironman cluster has a DB instance - IronmanDB1.err
 +
 +Volumes Attached 
 +  * Attached To 7ce1bcf3-a494-4902-9c8b-42765d3c1a12 on /dev/vda
 +  * Attached To os4db1 on /dev/vdb
 +
 +The os4db1 volume is defined as
 +  * Name        os4db1
 +  * ID          db6be9ca-b8c1-454e-973d-b55f4d75693b
 +  * Description snapshot created from or20-idmsdb1
 +  * Project ID  4cd57af0ccdc4827a7ffa979678943d5
 +  * Status      In-use 
 +  * Group.      -
 +  * Size        650 GiB
 +
 +The /etc/fstab is
 +[scotty@ironmandb1 ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
 +

 +  * # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info

 +
 +The UUID is established on 
 +  * [scotty@ironmandb1 ~]$ sudo blkid
 +  * [sudo] password for scotty: 
 +  * /dev/vda1: UUID="f41e390f-835b-4223-a9bb-9b45984ddf8d" TYPE="xfs" 
 +  * /dev/vdb1: **UUID="51b68e38-676f-40c6-b690-c81b09c099c0"** TYPE="xfs" 
 +
 +===== Troubleshooting =====
 +
 +If volumes are stuck in a state i.e. deleting or creating, the cinder services may need a restart. Deleting or creating a volume should output to the /var/log/cinder/cinder-scheduler.log and /var/log/cinder/cinder-volume.log logs. If this is halted or slow, restart the cinder services.
 +
 +<code>
 +sudo service cinder-scheduler restart
 +sudo service cinder-volume restart
