Bug Description

The compute API in nova Essex now throws InstanceInvalidState exceptions when an instance is in the wrong state for the selected action.

Trying to delete a server in build (or resize) will cause HTTP 500 exceptions to occur. This is incorrect API behaviour as the SPEC says that HTTP 409 buildInProgress should be returned.

Additionally, the API log files include a full stack trace when the exceptions occur (these are user generated via the API):

----

Given the compute API is throwing a new type of exception it appears we need to review the Openstack and EC2 APIs to make sure these exceptions are handled properly.

    catch InstanceInvalidState in more places

    Further fixes to bug 911879

    500s or 400s are returned in the OS API when actions are denied due
    to being in an invalid state. 409 should be returned, instead. A
    previous review (2846) fixed the delete case and this fixes more.

    When writing tests, I found a number of exceptions that are not raised
    anymore, and they were being incorrectly used in tests still. I fixed
    those up.
