Dose nova support multiple disk device for a single VM?

Asked by Evan Li

I have some VMs that were VMware, and I want to move them to nova with kvm. Here I'm blocking by disk device. My VM requires two disk devices, but "nova boot" command accepts only one "--image" parameter.

So I wonder if nova has some method to create two disk devices on a single VM?

The only way I know of is to dd the second device to a nova-volume or cinder-volume block device, and use the block-device-mapping flag to attach the device to vdb (this is what I had to do when I was converting over from vmware).

use --ephermal multi times or use --block-device multi times.

Can you help with this problem?
