+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #906302 +++ Description of problem: Reported by aortega. Regardless of an image's disk and RAM requirements, all flavors are available in the drop-down menu when Launching an instance. Therefore you can end up using e.g. a m1.tiny flavour with 512Mb RAM with an image that requires at least 2Gb of RAM. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-django-horizon-2012.2.1-2.el6ost.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new image, setting the minimum RAM requirement to 2048MB 2. After the image is uploaded, try to Launch it Actual results: The flavor selected by default is m1.tiny, which doesn't actually provide enough RAM for the image. After clicking Launch, the instance fails to launch with an error "Instance type's memory is too small for requested image. (HTTP 400)" Expected results: Horizon should default to an appropriate flavor, and probably prevent the user from launching an image with a flavor that doesn't meet the image's requirements. The UI should also be enhanced to display the image's requirements. At the moment, there is no indication what an image's requirements are when launching a new instance.
This bug is being assigned to dnavale, who is now the designated docs specialist for horizon. Setting Priority and Severity same as parent bug for now. Deepti: I could not see where the GSG specifically shows the flavors when one is using horizon, it does not seem to list them, only saying "Select a Flavor for your instance. The flavor determines the compute resources available to your instance. After a flavor is selected, their resources are displayed in the Flavor Details pane for preview." Fig 7.5 lists 'tiny', but it is only an example screenshot. If these flavors are now correctly limited in the dashboard's dropdown, depending on image selected, I'm not sure it actually requires a fix in the GSG's dashboard description?
Checked, its there.
Bruce, Since you have already checked for this, could you change to VERIFIED. Thanks.
