There definitely could be enhancements to the recovery mode when things start up again, but this is more than a simple bug, and probably needs a spec to work through all the edge conditions here.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625105 Title: During rebuild/spawn instance stopped compute, the instances set error_state Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Opinion Bug description: Error cases: 1) If we create any new instance and stop nova while spawn, then the nova compute at start set this instance to error state. 2) If we start rebuild any instance and stop nova while not rebuilt, then the nova compute at start set this instance to error state. We should start again (or resume) the interrupted process at nova start instead of set to error state the related instances.
