https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/a24ce5b12776c854a473b4fb6a9f3c27731d3af9/nova/compute/api.py#L2782 This is not mentioned anywhere in the API reference for that API, nor is the message in the 400 error response helpful, it just says "The request is invalid.". The docs and error message should be improved to note the limitation for volume-backed instances. ** Affects: nova Importance: Low Assignee: Matt Riedemann (mriedem) Status: Triaged ** Tags: api-ref -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
