Bug Description
It appears that when the Lock Instance / Unlock Instance options are used on a compute instance, nothing is indicated within the dashboard or action log to suggest this is the case.
Steps to repeat:
Log into dashboard
Click instances
From the drop down on the right of a given instance, select Lock instance
Try to power on/off/restart the instance,
You will get the error: Error: Unable to shut off instance: <instance name>, with no indication of the reason.
Click into the instance and click the action log, there is no record there of the instance being locked. This makes it difficult for an end user to determine why they cannot interact with their instance.
Version info:
ii python-
ii openstack-
Confirmed in Newton.
THe user is not aware whether the instance is locked or not. Actual error message from Nova is:
Action (u'soft rebooted instance', u'xx') Failed for Instance 9620b843- aa31-47f4- 9aeb-4640162472 53 is locked (HTTP 409) (Request-ID: req-91ff302d- 7c1c-4671- b02e-d960e6d3c4 87)
