Description

I have found that OpenNebula 3.2 returns the state ACTIVE for virtual machines that are actually running:

For example, consider this query, using the OCCI interface:

username@hostname:~$ wget http://hostname:4567/compute/347 -http-user=username --http-password=0000000000000000000000000000000000 --auth-no-challenge -qO

<COMPUTE href="http://hostname:4567/compute/347"><ID>347</ID><CPU>1</CPU><MEMORY>256</MEMORY><NAME>vps1</NAME><STATE>ACTIVE</STATE><DISK id="0"><STORAGE href="http://hostname:4567/storage/14" name="Ubuntu-11.10"/><TYPE>DISK</TYPE><TARGET>hda</TARGET></DISK><NIC><NETWORK href="http://hostname:4567/network/0" name="internal"/><IP>10.0.0.3</IP><MAC>50:00:00:00:00:03</MAC></NIC></COMPUTE>

Now, the same query, but using the native interface:

username@hostname:~$ onevm list

ID USER GROUP NAME STAT CPU MEM HOSTNAME TIME
347 username users vps1 runn 0 268.2M hostname 08 01:32:13

The same machine has two different states: running for the native interface, and active for OCCI. However, libcloud does not consider the active state, and returns unknown.

Kind regards,

Erik
