Public bug reported:

Once the glance image from which an instance was spawned is deleted,
resizes of that image fail if they would take place across more than one
compute node. Migration and live block migration both succeed.

Resize fails, I believe, because 'qemu-img resize' is called
(https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L7218-L7221)
before the backing image has been transferred from the source compute
node
(https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L7230-L7233).

Replication requires two compute nodes. To replicate:

1. Boot an instance from an image or snapshot.
2. Delete the image from Glance.
3. Resize the instance. It will fail with an error similar to:

Stderr: u"qemu-img: Could not open '/var/lib/nova/instances/f77f1c5c-
71f7-4645-afa1-dd30bacef874/disk': Could not open backing file: Could
not open
'/var/lib/nova/instances/_base/ca94b18d94077894f4ccbaafb1881a90225f1224':
No such file or directory\n"
