Get the Server ID (Instances) and Volume ID (Volume) using command

openstack server add volume <server-id> <volume-id> --device <device-name> |
$ openstack server add volume 6b2bedc4-9d8e-4bf3-be63-1dd49bc2e188 2d61791d-5f52-46e1-81ac-05221c308fe8 --device /dev/vdb +-----------+--------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-----------+--------------------------------------+ | ID | 2d61791d-5f52-46e1-81ac-05221c308fe8 | | Server ID | 6b2bedc4-9d8e-4bf3-be63-1dd49bc2e188 | | Volume ID | 2d61791d-5f52-46e1-81ac-05221c308fe8 | | Device | /dev/vdb | +-----------+--------------------------------------+ |
Log-in to the attached instance using SSH
(Optional only for new volume) Format the volume (we use ext4 here and assume the attach point is /dev/vdb) (Formatting will wipe your data):
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/vdb |
Use lsblk to confirm the device path (usually type disk). The value shown in OpenStack can be inaccurate.

Mount the volume (we use the folder /mnt/test-volume as example)
sudo mkdir /mnt/test-volume |
Add this mount point to /etc/fstab, so it will be mounted automatically on startup
sudo vim /etc/fstab |
Add/edit the following line:
/dev/vdb /mnt/test-volume ext4 defaults 0 0 |
You still need to manually mount it now
sudo mount /mnt/test-volume |
(Optional)You may also want to change the permission of the directory using chmod to enable read/write without sudo
chmod |
