+The module offers three main capabilities:
 1. Network Configuration: Modify network settings (DHCP/static IP) within QCOW2 images
 2. Hardware Configuration: Adjust VM hardware settings (CPU, memory, PCI passthrough)
+3. Volume Management: Create and attach virtual storage volumes for NSM data
 
 This module is intended to work with Security Onion's virtualization infrastructure and is typically
 used in conjunction with salt-cloud for VM provisioning and management.

+    Usage:

+

+            Name of the virtual machine to attach the volume to
+        size_gb
+            Volume size in GB (positive integer)

+        start
+            Boolean flag to start the VM after volume creation
+            Optional - defaults to False
+
+    Examples:
+        1. **Create 500GB Volume:**
+            ```bash
+            salt '*' qcow2.create_volume_config vm_name='sensor1_sensor' size_gb=500
+            ```
+            This creates a 500GB virtual volume for NSM storage
+
+        2. **Create 1TB Volume and Start VM:**
+            ```bash
+            salt '*' qcow2.create_volume_config vm_name='sensor1_sensor' size_gb=1000 start=True
+            ```
+            This creates a 1TB volume and starts the VM after attachment
+
+    Notes:
+        - VM must be stopped before volume creation
+        - Volume is created as a qcow2 image and attached to the VM
+        - This is an alternative to disk passthrough via modify_hardware_config
+        - Volume is automatically attached to the VM's libvirt configuration
+        - Requires so-kvm-create-volume script to be installed
+        - Volume files are stored in the hypervisor's VM storage directory
+
+    Description:
+        This function creates and attaches a virtual storage volume to a KVM virtual machine
+        using the so-kvm-create-volume script. It creates a qcow2 disk image of the specified
+        size and attaches it to the VM for NSM (Network Security Monitoring) storage purposes.
+        This provides an alternative to physical disk passthrough, allowing flexible storage
+        allocation without requiring dedicated hardware. The VM can optionally be started
+        after the volume is successfully created and attached.
+
+    Exit Codes:
+        0: Success
+        1: Invalid parameters

+Script for creating and attaching virtual volumes to KVM virtual machines for NSM storage.
+This script provides functionality to create pre-allocated raw disk images and attach them
+to VMs as virtio-blk devices for high-performance network security monitoring data storage.
+
+The script handles the complete volume lifecycle:
+1. Volume Creation: Creates pre-allocated raw disk images using qemu-img
+2. Volume Attachment: Attaches volumes to VMs as virtio-blk devices
+3. VM Management: Stops/starts VMs as needed during the process
+
+This script is designed to work with Security Onion's virtualization infrastructure and is typically
+used during VM provisioning to add dedicated NSM storage volumes.
+
+**Usage:**
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v <vm_name> -s <size_gb> [-S]
+
+**Options:**
+    -v, --vm          Name of the virtual machine to attach the volume to (required).
+    -s, --size        Size of the volume in GB (required, must be a positive integer).
+    -S, --start       Start the VM after volume creation and attachment (optional).
+
+**Examples:**
+
+1. **Create and Attach 500GB Volume:**
+
+    ```bash
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v vm1_sensor -s 500
+    ```
+
+    This command creates and attaches a volume with the following settings:
+    - VM Name: `vm1_sensor`
+    - Volume Size: `500` GB
+    - Volume Path: `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/vm1_sensor-nsm.img`
+    - Device: `/dev/vdb` (virtio-blk)
+    - VM remains stopped after attachment
+
+2. **Create Volume and Start VM:**
+
+    ```bash
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v vm2_sensor -s 1000 -S
+    ```
+
+    This command creates a volume and starts the VM:
+    - VM Name: `vm2_sensor`
+    - Volume Size: `1000` GB (1 TB)
+    - VM is started after volume attachment due to the `-S` flag
+
+3. **Create Large Volume for Heavy Traffic:**
+
+    ```bash
+    so-kvm-create-volume -v vm3_sensor -s 2000 -S
+    ```
+
+    This command creates a large volume for high-traffic environments:
+    - VM Name: `vm3_sensor`
+    - Volume Size: `2000` GB (2 TB)
+    - VM is started after attachment
+
+**Notes:**
+
+- The script automatically stops the VM if it's running before creating and attaching the volume.
+- Volumes are created with full pre-allocation for optimal performance.
+- Volume files are stored in `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/` with naming pattern `<vm_name>-nsm.img`.
+- Volumes are attached as `/dev/vdb` using virtio-blk for high performance.
+- The script checks available disk space before creating the volume.
+- Ownership is set to `socore:socore` with permissions `644`.
+- Without the `-S` flag, the VM remains stopped after volume attachment.
+
+**Description:**
+
+The `so-kvm-create-volume` script creates and attaches NSM storage volumes using the following process:
+
+1. **Pre-flight Checks:**
+   - Validates input parameters (VM name, size)
+   - Checks available disk space in `/nsm/libvirt/volumes/`
+   - Ensures sufficient space for the requested volume size
+
+2. **VM State Management:**
+   - Connects to the local libvirt daemon
+   - Stops the VM if it's currently running
+   - Retrieves current VM configuration
+
+3. **Volume Creation:**
+   - Creates volume directory if it doesn't exist
+   - Uses `qemu-img create` with full pre-allocation
+   - Sets proper ownership (socore:socore) and permissions (644)
+   - Validates volume creation success
+
+4. **Volume Attachment:**
+   - Modifies VM's libvirt XML configuration
+   - Adds disk element with virtio-blk driver
+   - Configures cache='none' and io='native' for performance
+   - Attaches volume as `/dev/vdb`
+
+5. **VM Redefinition:**
+   - Applies the new configuration by redefining the VM
+   - Optionally starts the VM if requested
+   - Emits deployment status events for monitoring
+
+6. **Error Handling:**
+   - Validates all input parameters
+   - Checks disk space before creation
+   - Handles volume creation failures
+   - Handles volume attachment failures
+   - Provides detailed error messages for troubleshooting
+
+**Exit Codes:**
+
+- `0`: Success
+- `1`: An error occurred during execution
+
+**Logging:**
+
+- Logs are written to `/opt/so/log/hypervisor/so-kvm-create-volume.log`
+- Both file and console logging are enabled for real-time monitoring
+- Log entries include timestamps and severity levels
+- Log prefixes: VOLUME:, VM:, HARDWARE:, SPACE:
+- Detailed error messages are logged for troubleshooting

+# Usage:
+#     so-nsm-mount-virtio
+#
+# Options:
+#     None - script automatically configures /dev/vdb
+#
+# Examples:
+#     1. Configure and mount virtio-blk device:
+#         ```bash
+#         sudo so-nsm-mount-virtio
+#         ```
+#
+# Notes:
+#     - Requires root privileges
+#     - Mounts /dev/vdb as /nsm
+#     - Creates XFS filesystem if needed
+#     - Configures persistent mount via /etc/fstab
+#     - Safe to run multiple times
+#
+# Description:
+#     This script automates the configuration and mounting of virtio-blk devices
+#     as /nsm in Security Onion virtual machines. It performs these steps:
+#
+# Dependencies:
+#     - xfsprogs: Required for XFS filesystem operations
+#
+#     1. Safety Checks:
+#        - Verifies root privileges
+#        - Checks if /nsm is already mounted
+#        - Verifies /dev/vdb exists
+#
+#     2. Filesystem Creation:
+#        - Creates XFS filesystem on /dev/vdb if not already formatted
+#
+#     3. Mount Configuration:
+#        - Creates /nsm directory if needed
+#        - Adds entry to /etc/fstab for persistence
+#        - Mounts the filesystem as /nsm
+#
+# Exit Codes:
+#     0: Success conditions:
+#        - Device configured and mounted
+#        - Already properly mounted
+#     1: Error conditions:
+#        - Must be run as root
+#        - Device /dev/vdb not found
+#        - Filesystem creation failed
+#        - Mount operation failed
