Public bug reported: If an invalid PCI alias is specified in the flavor extra-specs and we try to create an instance with that flavor, it will result in a PciInvalidAlias exception being raised.
In ServersController.create() PciInvalidAlias is missing from the list of exceptions that get converted to an HTTPBadRequest. Instead, it's reported as a 500 error: [stack@fedora-1 nova]$ nova boot --flavor ds2G --image fedora29 --nic none --admin-pass fedora asdf3 ERROR (ClientException): Unexpected API Error. Please report this at http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/ and attach the Nova API log if possible. <class 'nova.exception.PciInvalidAlias'> (HTTP 500) (Request-ID: req-fec3face-4135-41fd-bc48-07957363ddae) ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: api -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
