    @AlexanderKgr You can upload this file as a template? When you deploy an instance from template it gets copied to the desired ROOT volume.

    i don't want to create new instance. i just want to replace the volume. In previous versions of cloudstack it was possible.

    @AlexanderKgr
    to be frank, I do not think it was possible to upload a volume as root disk, because the Uploaded volume is stored on secondary storage, it is not attached to any vm.

    you can try

    • attach the new volume to the vm as datadisk
    • if the vm is not running, start the vm and then stop it. The Uploaded volume will be copied from secondary storage to same storage pool as the root volume.
    • detach the new volume
    • detach the ROOT volume of the vm you want to replace
    • attach the new volume to the vm as ROOT disk (deviceId=0)
