Runinstance : Image available status not checked

[Tushar Patil]

Precondition: Image status is "decrpyting" and is not available.

If I try to run the instance with an image id whose status is not available, then runinstance fails and doesn't recover.
Instead it should fail gracefully with proper error message.

Could you precise a bit "runinstance fails and doesn't recover" ? What is run-instances output ? Any error showing in the Nova logs ? Which version are you running in this test ?

[Tushar Patil (tpatil)]

I uploaded the bundle of large size using euca-upload-bundle and registered it using euca-register and then thought of running the instance immediately since after registering the image it returned me the image id.

$euca-upload-bundle -b testbug -m /tmp/ipv6-disk-image.manifest.xml
$euca-register testbug/ipv6-disk-image.manifest.xml
IMAGE ami-6nv2ikr6

$euca-describe-images | grep ami-6nv2ikr6
IMAGE ami-6nv2ikr6 testbug/ipv6-disk-image.manifest.xml project-1 untarring private x86_64 machine ami-0fz0f67v ami-m4dqqzdq

Note: currently it is showing status as untarring

Run instance using newly registered image id.
$euca-run-instances -k test -t m1.tiny ami-6nv2ikr6

$euca-describe-instances

I could reproduce the above problem on Revision 624.

[Brian Waldon (bcwaldon)]

It is my understanding that you should leave the bug status as "In Progress" until the merge prop is actually accepted.

[John Tran (jtran)]

Thanks for clearing that up. Changed back to 'in progress'
