The device_name was removed from the API. I think the only place it ever
worked was xenserver.

** Changed in: nova
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Nova volume-attach doesnt care for <device> name given

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  stack@controller:~/devstack$ nova help volume-attach
  usage: nova volume-attach <server> <volume> [<device>]

  Attach a volume to a server.

  Positional arguments:
    <server>  Name or ID of server.
    <volume>  ID of the volume to attach.
    <device>  Name of the device e.g. /dev/vdb. Use "auto" for autoassign (if
              supported). Libvirt driver will use default device name.

  
  As shown below:

  It looks like nova is not considering <device> parameter at all.
  Is it expected?
  Looking into code to reason this.
