Bug Description

When I pause an instance hosted on VMware cluster, it shows
SUCCESS: Paused Instance: <instance_name>;
in horizon portal and nothing happens (instance does not go to Pause state)

In nova-compute log it shows: pause not supported for vmwareapi

This information is quite misleading for the user.
The message should come as "Pause not supported for vmwareapi"

Is there a Nova API Horizon could call to determine whether Pause is supported?

Also what's the error message returned by Nova when trying to pause from the CLI?

Is there a Nova API Horizon could call to determine whether Pause is supported?
- I am not aware of one. It is that horizon should return the same "Pause not supported for vmwareapi" as coming in compute logs

Is there a Nova API Horizon could call to determine whether Pause is supported?
- When I tried nova pause <instance_name>; it returned nothing nor the operation was successful.
nova --debug pause <instance> returned nothing in response body.

I'm guessing pause is an asynchronous operation. Horizon depend on the APIs, if "nova pause" returns successfully we can't tell if something goes wrong later on, we don't have access to the compute logs.

Possible solutions would be for either Nova to surface this error message when calling "nova pause", and/or for Horizon to somehow query Nova to check whether an action is allowed and hide the "Pause" button when it's not possible. But since there could be multiple compute nodes, some that support pausing and others that don't, I'm not sure how feasible that would be either... Adding the Nova folks to see if they have some thoughts about this. It would be nice to have some way of letting the user know that no matter how many times they try to pause, it won't work in this case.

this isn't fixable until some capabilities API is exposed, marking as wishlist.

This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on.

In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

NOTE:
The need for a "discover capabilites" API got discussed during the Newton summit [4] (but without a clear path forward IIUC).
