======
Faults
======
When an error occurs, Block Storage returns a fault object containing an
HTTP error response code that denotes the type of error. The response
body returns additional information about the fault.
The following table lists possible fault types with their associated
error codes and descriptions.
Fault type Associated error code Description
``badRequest`` 400 The user request contains one or more errors.
``unauthorized`` 401 The supplied token is not authorized to access the resources, either it's expired or invalid.
``forbidden`` 403 Access to the requested resource was denied.
``itemNotFound`` 404 The back-end services did not find anything matching the Request-URI.
``badMethod`` 405 The request method is not allowed for this resource.
``overLimit`` 413 Either the number of entities in the request is larger than allowed limits, or the user has exceeded allowable request rate limits. See the ``details`` element for more specifics. Contact your cloud provider if you think you need higher request rate limits.
``badMediaType`` 415 The requested content type is not supported by this service.
``unprocessableEntity`` 422 The requested resource could not be processed on at the moment.
``instanceFault`` 500 This is a generic server error and the message contains the reason for the error. This error could wrap several error messages and is a catch all.
``notImplemented`` 501 The requested method or resource is not implemented.
``serviceUnavailable`` 503 Block Storage is not available.
The following two ``instanceFault`` examples show errors when the server
has erred or cannot perform the requested operation:
**Example 2.4. Example instanceFault response: XML**
.. code::
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: application/xml
Content-Length: 121
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:19:37 GMT
.. code::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<instanceFault code="500"
xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-block-storage/2.0/content">
<message> The server has either erred or is incapable of
performing the requested operation. </message>
</instanceFault>
|
**Example 2.5. Example fault response: JSON**
.. code::
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Length: 120
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:33:48 GMT
.. code::
{
"instanceFault":{
"code":500,
"message":"The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation."
}
}
|
The error code (``code``) is returned in the body of the response for
convenience. The ``message`` element returns a human-readable message
that is appropriate for display to the end user. The ``details`` element
is optional and may contain information that is useful for tracking down
an error, such as a stack trace. The ``details`` element may or may not
be appropriate for display to an end user, depending on the role and
experience of the end user.
The fault's root element (for example, ``instanceFault``) may change
depending on the type of error.
The following two ``badRequest`` examples show errors when the volume
size is invalid:
**Example 2.6. Example badRequest fault on volume size errors: XML**
.. code::
HTTP/1.1 400 None
Content-Type: application/xml
Content-Length: 121
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 18:19:37 GMT
.. code::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<badRequest code="400"
xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-block-storage/2.0/content">
<message> Volume 'size' needs to be a positive integer value, -1.0
cannot be accepted. </message>
</badRequest>
|
**Example 2.7. Example badRequest fault on volume size errors: JSON**
.. code::
HTTP/1.1 400 None
Content-Length: 120
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:33:48 GMT
.. code::
{
"badRequest":{
"code":400,
"message":"Volume 'size' needs to be a positive integer value, -1.0 cannot be accepted."
}
}
|
The next two examples show ``itemNotFound`` errors:
**Example 2.8. Example itemNotFound fault: XML**
.. code::
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Length: 147
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8
Date: Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:50:15 GMT
.. code::
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<itemNotFound code="404"
xmlns="http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-block-storage/2.0/content">
<message> The resource could not be found. </message>
</itemNotFound>
|
**Example 2.9. Example itemNotFound fault: JSON**
.. code::
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Content-Length: 78
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:35:24 GMT
.. code::
{
"itemNotFound":{
"code":404,
"message":"The resource could not be found."
}
}
