this is a supported workflow.

its actully quite common for windows as you will create a VM and boot form an iso with an attached data volume
then you will delete the VM and boot a second VM form the volume

so image_metadata is not required on a volume

Title:
  Create VM from volume having no "volume_image_metadata" should not be
  allowed

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:

  Description
  ===========
  VM creation from a volume with no image data should not be allowed.
  Right now, we can create a bootable volume with no image, and then we can create a VM from the volume. The VM will get created, but it won't boot as there is no image to boot from.

  Nova should verify this request and send an error message with the
  appropriate message.

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  $ openstack volume create --bootable --size 1 vol3     
  $ openstack server create --network public --flavor 1  vm_3 --volume vol3  --wait                

  $ openstack console log show vm_3           # it won't return any log
  $ openstack console url show vm_3           # check via vnc

  
  Expected result
  ===============
  Nova should tell user, it's not correct.

  Actual result
  =============
  VM gets created with without any issue, but user can't use it.
