https://review.openstack.org/#/c/524208/ Before that, you'll get an error like this if you boot from volume but don't specify a boot_index for each BDM in the list: 2018-04-23 12:34:13,308 INFO [nova.api.openstack.wsgi] HTTP exception thrown: Block Device Mapping is Invalid: Boot sequence for the instance and image/block device mapping combination is not valid. 2018-04-23 12:34:13,310 INFO [nova.api.openstack.requestlog] 127.0.0.1 "POST /v2.1/6f70656e737461636b20342065766572/servers" status: 400 len: 164 microversion: 2.1 time: 0.129485 Therefore we should probably mark the parameter as required since the API reference applies to older versions/releases of the API too. ** Affects: nova Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Tags: api-ref -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
