Public bug reported:

when using
compute_driver=vmwareapi.VMwareVCDriver
volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.vmware.vmdk.VMwareVcVmdkDriver

after creating a VM and cinder volume and attaching it:
nova boot --image cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-disk.vmdk --flavor m1.tiny foo
cinder create --display-name baz 1
nova volume-attach foo aeb729e5-bfb4-4ac2-9d73-eec70e03903a auto

the cinder volume remains available, but in the nova api.log:

2014-01-28 15:28:45.815 4986 WARNING nova.virt.vmwareapi.driver [-] Task [ReconfigVM_Task] (returnval){
   value = "task-7702"
   _type = "Task"
 } status: error The attempted operation cannot be performed in the current state (Powered on).

I think it would be good to report such error to the user. It may be
good to check the VM state before even trying to attach the vol.

** Affects: nova
