Notes

  • When subscribing to the lab, if you go to the openstack dashboard you will also be presented some images related to the armcloud lab (ubuntu-14.04-aarch64), they are not intended (and cannot) be used for vps-hdd. If you still want to use them, subscribe to the arm lab first

  • When spawning your vps-hdd you have two disks attached to the virtual machines: one small 10G one containing the rootfs (vda), and the big volume (vdb), with a capacity matching to the flavor you chose (1T, 2T or 4T). By default we have formatted it in ext4 and mounted it on /home. Nothing prevents you from changing this if you want to.

  • When you rebuild your instance (nova rebuild, or through the openstack dahsboard), only the primary disk content is restored. The secondary disk content will be preserved. Only if you terminate/destroy the instance will it be erased
