VMware: Broken pipe error when copying image to volume

[Ryan Hsu]

stable/havana

Using the VMwareVcVmdkDriver Cinder driver, copying an image to volume is breaking with the following exception:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/opt/stack/cinder/cinder/volume/drivers/vmware/io_util.py",
        self.output.write(data)
      File "/opt/stack/cinder/cinder/volume/drivers/vmware/read_write_util
        self.file_handle.send(data)

      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/ssl.py", line 198, in send
        v = self._sslobj.write(data)
    error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Despite this failure, the volume status still shows a status of "Downloading" rather than failing. Attempts to delete the volume results in this message:

    Error: You do not have permission to delete volume: cirros-lsi

I tried with stable/havana version, the image copy worked well, but sometimes it took a very long time to finish the download of the large image.
