Horizon can't delete volume stuck in creating state

[Tzach Shefi]

Description of problem:
If a volume is stuck in creating state, it can't be deleted from Horizon -> Error: You are not allowed to delete volume: 9fd9....

While deleting from CLI works fine
# cinder delete ... volume is deleted.

Added info about setup:
Semi distributed setup, via packstack, on rhel7 beta
Cinder's backend is a distributed Gluster volume.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL7
openstack-dashboard-2014.1-4.el7ost.noarch
openstack-cinder-2014.1-3.el7ost.noarch

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't recall how I managed to create volumes which got stuck in "creating" state.
2. Once you have such volumes try to delete them from Horizon volumes tab - fails with error notice.
3. Deleting same volumes from CLI works.

Actual results:
Volume isn't deleted getting: -> Error: You are not allowed to delete volume: 9fd94b49-e3a7-4b79-801e-a50c985b29f7

Expected results:
Volume should be deleted successfully

We have a limited number of states during which we allow deletion, it sounds like it would be worth revisiting.

hi, i think we should allow deletion action while the volume is in creaing state, the cinder service sometimes is not normal, it will always be in creating state , really need to allow deletion action!!!

Wouldn't this be solved by creating a "Reset State" action. Reset would just put the Volume in an error state (db entry). Which would then allow for deletion.

[Ankur (ankur-gupta-f)]

Using "Update Volume Status" an admin can put the volume into an error state, from which it can be deleted
