What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Call Jec2.createVolume with snapShotId set to null or ""

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? It should create a new and empty EBS volume, but it fails with a NullPointerException in the Eucalyptus log.

The reason is that Typica passes an empty snapshotId to Eucalyptus, but Eucalyptus can't process this value.

Solution: if no snapshotId is specified, do not pass the parameter to Eucalyptus at all.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Typica r323 with Eucalyptus 1.6

Please provide any additional information below. There is already a discussion on this topic: http://groups.google.com/group/typica/browse_thread/thread/bb166c3f8c9aabae/06cd7842be170124?lnk=raot

And of course I've attached a patch again :)

In the document,it's shown the description "Creates an EBS volume either by size, or from a snapshot"

So it means there're two ways to create the volume, right?

if I just wanna create the volume by size and do I set the field "snapshotId" as null ?

And how to set up the field "zone name" ?

I setup the field by using the return value of function "describeAvailabilityZones" and try to get the name,state or toString,

But it still fail to create the volume.

Thanks. I've applied the patch

Kevin, You can now call VolumeInfo vol = ec2.createVolume("512", null, "us-east-1a"); for instance.

The AvailabilityZone.getName() value is what you'd pass as the zoneName param.

This issue was closed by revision r336.

I use this calling below

List availZone = iws.describeAvailabilityZones(null); VolumeInfo volInfo = iws.createVolume(volSize,null,availZone.get(0).getName());

It return the exception message "com.xerox.amazonws.ec2.EC2Exception: Problem parsing returned message."

But I'm sure that availZone.get(0).getName() is right. I'm in the Ecua EC2 environment with typica 1.6
