Bug Description

I am running ubuntu 12.04 Folsom 2012.2.

When I run the following command:

nova volume-create --display_name folsomv1 50

The following error occurs:

TypeError: %x format: a number is required, not unicode

Also, the state of the volume create is always seen as "creating".

Solved:

In essex we had the following parameter in the nova.conf

#volume_name_template=volume-%08x

We copied it over to folsom.

Once I pounded out the parameter and restarted nova-volumes I was able to create the volume.

Please close this item. This is not a bug.

I hope this helps other folks.

thanks

John
