# Cannot Resize Instance Created From Bootable Volume Using UI

## Problem

The below error is seen when an attempt is made to resize an instance created using a bootable volume:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
The image used to create this instance is not available anymore. Resizing the instance needs the original image to rebuild the instance from.
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed OpenStack - v4.0-v4.3

## Cause

Resizing an instance created from a bootable volume is currently not available from the UI.

## Resolution

The instance can be resized using the command line.

1. Before resize:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
| flavor | c3.large (e1d4af24-597f-42a9-847b-76ed0acdcfb1) |
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

2. Use below command to resize the instance.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
# openstack server resize --flavor 6fba33d0-43b8-47dd-9af8-5374f1942ccc c4ac62f3-1508-4e14-8b05-320c4a3138be# openstack server resize --confirm c4ac62f3-1508-4e14-8b05-320c4a3138be
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

3. After resize:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="None" %}

```none
# openstack server show c4ac62f3-1508-4e14-8b05-320c4a3138be --fit-width -c flavor+--------+--------------------------------------------------------+| Field | Value |+--------+--------------------------------------------------------+| flavor | c3.xlarge-gavin (6fba33d0-43b8-47dd-9af8-5374f1942ccc) |+--------+--------------------------------------------------------+
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
