@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)
