On a newton devstack, this is what I get: stack@swapvol:~$ nova boot --flavor 2 --image c5c957b0-c19b-4567-8f57-9ccb8a5a1d0e --ephemeral size=5,format=ext3 bug1521464 ERROR (BadRequest): Ephemeral disks requested are larger than the instance type allows. (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req- 75051aa0-d6e7-43be-96c6-a065334311ee)
Which is actually some pretty old validation code: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/df488c863e1f9a6656aac1cd9cb9b54c6160ad01/nova/compute/api.py#L1352-L1356 Added here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/44864/ Which makes this working as designed, you're requesting an ephemeral block device that is larger than the flavor being used allows. So you'd need to use a flavor that has ephemeral>=5. ** Changed in: nova Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
