Comment 7 for bug 1305550

It shouldn't be up to the user to recover a volume. Cinder should just recover the volume and prepare it for a retry either doing itself or have the user try again (ideally itself). If a retry fails, there is something seriously wrong with what the user is trying to do. Either user error or the environment itself. Keep the status field simple. Error means just stop, the volume can't be recovered and not even cinder can help. Available means do something with it. When something is in a state that is more complicated than one word, more information can be found in the status description field.
