Submitting a sliver request that fail does not generate any user-visible errors

[lnevers@bbn.com]

In an error scenario where the user submits a request for a VLAN which is already in use, no error is reported for the sliver creation. Also no error can be seen in the sliver status.

Following is a capture of the failure scenario in which a sliver already exists that uses the same request rspec (and VLANs) as the slice below.

In a scenario where the interface was incorrectly specified for a sliver, there was no indication of failure for createsliver. Sliver status did not indicate failure. The OESS web interface did not show any information for the failed sliver, and no OESS notifications were received.

Incorrect interface defined "“sdn-sw.hous” rather than the expected “sdn-sw.houh”

[lnevers@bbn.com]

This problem still exists in the current version (2014-01-28).

[lnevers@bbn.com]

There are still no indications for failures. Success and failure show the same status.

[lnevers@bbn.com]

Verified:

• submitting a duplicate slice name generate an error.
• submitting a new slice name with an already in use VLAN now show "foam_status": "rejected"

Problem is resolved, closing ticket.
