Ok.. I see that a 500 Gb disk is allotted to the VM instance but it doesn't show anything beyond 20 Gigs. This instance along with many others booted up with metadata ,but ( I just recalled that my VMs dont get metadata successfully during very first boot and this may be the cause of this nonsense. what I have to do is I have to reboot the vm twice to make it ready for the OpenStack Env. like correct interfaces, hostname, etc. ) ok..
Let me get back to you guys with updates on a new VM ...
