All of this is by design - image field on the instance means that the instance was started with the particular image. If the volume was created from an image at any point, and instance was booted from that volume at a later stage - it may or may not have anything to do with the image, so setting it is wrong and probably breaks a bunch of assumptions Nova code makes about the empty image field for instances booted from volume.
Luckily there is a revert for this commit that was merged by mistake here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/107875/ ** Changed in: nova Status: Fix Committed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317880 Title: Boot from image (creates a new volume) starts an instance with no image Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova): Invalid Bug description: 1. Fire up a DevStack instance from the stable/havana, stable/icehouse, or master branches. 2. Go into Horizon 3. Launch an instance 3.1 Instance Boot Source: Boot from image (creates a new volume) 3.2 Image Name: cirros 3.3 Device size (GB): 1 When the instance finishes booting you’ll see that the instance only has a ‘-‘ in the Image Name column. If you click on the instance you’ll see in the Overview Meta section “Image Name (not found)”. My understanding of Boot from image (creates a new volume) is that it simply creates a instance and attaches a volume automatically. It’s basically a convenience for the user. Is that right? Seems the bug is in Nova as the instance was created with the cirros image and Nova isn’t reporting that fact back. The different responses from various clients. API curl .../v2/tenant_id/servers/server_id "image": “” python-novaclient nova show server_id "Attempt to boot from volume - no image supplied” Horizon "Image Name (not found)" I suspect Horizon is making some bad calls but Nova shouldn’t be allowing an instance to get into this state.
