Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 15:38:24 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/novaboot-create-cindervol-on-demand.

Description:

Rather than go to Cinder and 'create volume --source-volid xxxx....' then go to nova and do "nova boot --block-device-mapping xxxxx...'

Why not just do 'nova boot xxxx --create-vol <type> <size>...' and let nova call to cinderclient to build the volume on demand.
