Hi G., I don't have Ocata up anywhere, but as a "best practice", I generally do the: nova reset-state --active $UUID followed immediately by nova reboot --hard
to try and "restore/resurrect" errored instances. The reset-state --active doesn't actually do anything to the instance, it just manipulates the nova db. The reboot --hard does a fairly clean "reboot" of the instance even if it is off. None of this should really have anything to do with CEPH as per se, so not sure it will have the desired outcome on your cloud though.
