This is because the time it takes to create the volume is longer than
the default timeout value.  You can increase the timeout value in
/etc/nova/nova.conf to something greater, e.g. 3600.

block_device_allocate_retries = 3600

Title:
  vmware: boot from image (create volume) is failing

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid
Status in “nova” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Nova fails to boot an instance from the image using create volume.

  Run time environment details:
    cinder is configured with VMDK driver
    nova is configured with Vmware Vc driver

  While nova is trying to provision a instance by creating the volume
  from the given VMDK image by creating a volume and booting from it, it
  failed to create the instance, though volume is created properly after
  given amount of time. This failure is occurring especially when the
  volume creation is taking more than 180 seconds.

  Exception thrown by nova compute is: Volume f36bf0ce-ef0d-4200-b15b-
  cf2de3689bbb did not finish being created even after we waited 221
  seconds or 180 attempts.
