<title>Create an image (nova)</title>
<para>You can use the <command>nova</command> client to take a snapshot of a
running instance to create an image.</para>
<para>To minimize the potential for data loss and ensure that you create an
accurate image, you should shut down the instance before you take a
snapshot.</para>
<para>You cannot create a snapshot from an instance that has an attached
volume. Detach the volume, create the image, and remount the
volume.</para>
