The block_device_mapping module can be used to attach storage to an instance. My requirement is to attach an already existing bootable cinder volume to an instance using a heat template. The following syntax works,
block_device_mapping:
- device_name: vda
delete_on_termination: false
volume_id : "591aba58-ea89-4982-9adf-a65556351e74"
However, is there any way to use the name of the volume instead of the volume UUID?
