Hi Jay,

I know about this way :-) but Pike introduced ability to resize attached volumes:

"It is now possible to signal and perform an online volume size change as of the 2.51 microversion using the|volume-extended|external event. Nova will perform the volume extension so the host can detect its new size. It will also resize the device in QEMU so instance can detect the new disk size without rebooting." -- https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/nova/pike.html

Detach the volume, then resize it, then re-attach.

Colleagues,

can't find ways to resize attached volume. I'm on Pike.

As far as I understand, it required to be supported in Nova, because Cinder need to check with Nova whether it's possible to extend this volume.

Well,
- Nova's API microversion is 2.51, which seems to be enough to support "volume-extended" API call - Properties of image are *hw_disk_bus='scsi'* and *hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi'*, type bare/raw, located in Cinder
- hypervisor is KVM
- volume is bootable, mounted as root, created as snapshot from Cinder volume
- Cinder's backend is CEPH/Bluestore

and both "cinder extend" and "openstack volume set --size" returns "Volume status must be '{'status': 'available'}' to extend, currently in-use".

I did not find any configuration options neither in nova nor in cinder config files, which can help with this functionality.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you.
