<title>Manage volumes</title>
<para>A volume is a detachable block storage device, similar to a
USB hard drive. You can attach a volume to only one instance.
To create and manage volumes, you use a combination of nova
and cinder client commands.</para>
<para audience="enduser">This example creates a
<literal>my-new-volume</literal> volume based on an
image.</para>

<title>Migrate a volume</title>
<para>As an administrator, you can migrate a volume with its
data from one location to another in a manner that is
transparent to users and workloads. You can migrate only
detached volumes with no snapshots.</para>
<para>Possible use cases for data migration:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Bring down a physical storage device for
maintenance without disrupting workloads.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Modify the properties of a volume.</para>

<para>Free up space in a thinly-provisioned back

<para>Where <literal>--force-host-copy=True</literal> forces
the generic host-based migration mechanism and bypasses
any driver optimizations.</para>

<para>If the volume is in use or has snapshots, the

volume.</para>
