Description

The errors don't allow users to diagnose what actually went wrong.

For example when trying to deploy the following partition...

{
      "id": "zone-1",
      "provider": "openstack",
      "property": [
          {
            "name": "region",
            "value": "PHX"
          }
 	{
            "name": "zone",
            "value": "PHX01"
          }
      ]
 }

.. the output received was:

Invalid Partition Detected : zone-1

This error doesn't help the user resolve the issue. Ideally, the error message should give the exact cause of the error:

Invalid Partition Detected : zone-1
IaaS error was: 'unknown region: PHX'

If it isn't possible to get the actual error (for example if jclouds doesn't provide it), we could tell the user where they need to look to resolve the problem:

Invalid Partition Detected : zone-1
