-----------------------------------------
Summary: Improve API/UI error messages for unsupported OS
Key: CLOUDSTACK-1754
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1754
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: API, UI
Affects Versions: 4.0.0
Reporter: Kirk Kosinski
Priority: Minor
Currently if you attempt to deploy a VM using an OS type that is unsupported by
the hypervisor, the API and UI provide a generic error message:
Unable to create a deployment for VM[User|vmname]
The full API response:
{ "queryasyncjobresultresponse" :
{"accountid":"fab9e8a0-8301-4dc6-9ff2-de38b4fa2109","userid":"400dacb5-0901-45c8-94b4-b2c6052ddb31","cmd":"com.cloud.api.commands.DeployVMCmd","jobstatus":2,"jobprocstatus":0,"jobresultcode":530,"jobresulttype":"object","jobresult":{"errorcode":533,"errortext":"Unable
to create a deployment for
VM[User|vmname]"},"created":"2013-03-20T16:03:21-0700","jobid":"c65bd950-142b-4914-99d8-5ccf525ab61c"}
}
This will not help an end-user resolve the problem, so they will have to ask
the CloudStack administrator to look into the problem. The admin can easily
find the problem in the management-server.log:
2013-03-20 16:04:43,730 WARN [xen.resource.CitrixHelper]
(DirectAgent-171:null) XenServer 6.0 DOES NOT support Guest OS type Fedora 9
However, this is a common problem and could be resolved by the end-user if they
were given additional information. Therefore it would be useful if the error
shown in management-server.log was also returned via API and UI.
