-Copying /var/lib/mysql to a New Volume and Volume Migration
-This documentation provides step-by-step instructions for copying the /var/lib/mysql directory to a new volume and migrating the volume from one OpenStack node to another using OpenStack commands.
+# Copying `/var/lib/mysql` to a New Volume and Volume Migration
 
-Prerequisites
-Access to an OpenStack environment with the necessary permissions to create volumes and manage instances.
-A running OpenStack node with an instance containing the /var/lib/mysql directory.
+This documentation provides step-by-step instructions for copying the `/var/lib/mysql` directory to a new volume and migrating the volume from one OpenStack node to another using OpenStack commands.
 
-Copying /var/lib/mysql to a New Volume
-Log in to the OpenStack command-line interface (CLI) or a terminal with OpenStack CLI access.
+## Prerequisites
+- Access to an OpenStack environment with the necessary permissions to create volumes and manage instances.
+- A running OpenStack node with an instance containing the `/var/lib/mysql` directory.
 
-Create a new volume using the OpenStack CLI:
-openstack volume create --size <new_volume_size> <new_volume_name>
+## Copying `/var/lib/mysql` to a New Volume
 
-Attach the new volume to the instance that contains the /var/lib/mysql directory
-openstack server add volume <instance_id> <new_volume_id>
+1. Log in to the OpenStack command-line interface (CLI) or a terminal with OpenStack CLI access.
 
-Log in to the instance and mount the new volume:
-ssh <instance_ip_address>
-sudo mkdir /mnt/new_volume
-sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt/new_volume
+2. Create a new volume using the OpenStack CLI:
+   openstack volume create --size <new_volume_size> <new_volume_name>
 
-Copy the contents of /var/lib/mysql to the new volume:
-sudo cp -a /var/lib/mysql/* /mnt/new_volume
+3. Attach the new volume to the instance that contains the `/var/lib/mysql` directory:
+   openstack server add volume <instance_id> <new_volume_id>
 
+4. Log in to the instance and mount the new volume:
+   ssh <instance_ip_address>
+   sudo mkdir /mnt/new_volume
+   sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt/new_volume
 
-Migrating a Volume from One Node to Another
+5. Copy the contents of `/var/lib/mysql` to the new volume:
+   sudo cp -a /var/lib/mysql/* /mnt/new_volume
 
-Detach the original volume from the instance:
-openstack server remove volume <instance_id> <original_volume_id>
+## Migrating a Volume from One Node to Another
 
-Create a new instance on the target node:
-openstack server create --flavor <instance_flavor> --image <instance_image> --availability-zone <target_availability_zone> --volume <original_volume_id> <new_instance_name>
+1. Detach the original volume from the instance:
+   openstack server remove volume <instance_id> <original_volume_id>
 
-Wait for the new instance to be in the ACTIVE state:
-openstack server show <new_instance_id> -f value -c status
+2. Create a new instance on the target node:
+   openstack server create --flavor <instance_flavor> --image <instance_image> --availability-zone <target_availability_zone> --volume <original_volume_id> <new_instance_name>
 
-Log in to the new instance:
-ssh <new_instance_ip_address>
+3. Wait for the new instance to be in the ACTIVE state:
+   openstack server show <new_instance_id> -f value -c status
 
-Mount the volume on the new instance:
-sudo mkdir /mnt/original_volume
-sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt/original_volume
+4. Log in to the new instance:
+   ssh <new_instance_ip_address>
+
+5. Mount the volume on the new instance:
+   sudo mkdir /mnt/original_volume
+   sudo mount /dev/vdb /mnt/original_volume
