The rebuild functionality is designed for creating a instance in new compute node which is exactly the same as the one that  in a node which compute service is down, vms can't be managed. so the new instance's state is the same with the one to be rebuild.
so rebuild  is just create a new instance that is manageable.

Title:
  Rebuild instance doesn't work when instance is stopped

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Design wise it is allowed to rebuild the instance when the vm_state is in ERROR, ACTIVE or STOPPED state.
  But rebuild instance fails to bring the vm_state to ACTIVE when it is in STOPPED state.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Create a new instance and wait unit it becomes ACTIVE.
  2. Stop the instance
  3. Rebuild the instance

  Expected Results: vm_state should become active
  Actual Results: vm_state is stopped
