Hai Bernd Bausch, Thanks for your help. As you said , I am not completely familiar with all the underlying concepts. But I am trying to learn thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Now, I have achieved what I wanted. I have followed your second suggestion with some more reading in to LVM

Maybe I should point out more clearly that there are several ways of providing disk space for your instances. If you choose file based storage for your instances (e.g. ephemeral disks as qcow images), you'll need a lot of space in /var/lib/nova/instances as ephemeral storage. If you delete

Hai, Thanks for a quick response. - what do you mean by "disks are not added"? Does the server recognize them? Do you see them in the output of "lsblk"? Server does not add them automatically, I tried to mount them. I tried they way they discussed in the page with /dev/sdb only. Other hard disks
