where?
nova help | grep reset
yields nothing.
I think this is one of openstack worst weaknesses, that if the status of 
an instance is in error-state and one has to wade through a couple of 
logfiles (scheduler, nova-network, nova-compute) in order to find out 
what really happened. I would be superior if the error itself would be 
reported back to the database.
