Are you working off the 0.1.0 gems or the head of the svn/git repo ?

Sounds like a bug.

As noted in the other mail thread, states still need more cleanup. Part
of the problem here is two conflicting schools of thought: initially,
the drivers were written to expose as much detail about the cloud's
native instance lifecycle as possible, later on there has been some
effort to simplify the set of instance states, and with them the FSM for
the instance lifecycle that is exposed.

I've created an issue in Jira to track this [1]

Do you have a stacktrace ? From looking at the code, looks like a simple
error ('return' instead of 'raise' in
server/lib/deltacloud/drivers/opennebula/cloud_client.rb:80)

Part of the state mess.

A regression introduced by svn commit r1044338 (the capabilities stuff)

We are in the process of rewriting the RHEV-M drive against the new
RHEV-M REST API - I wouldn't worry about RHEV-M until that's done.

Do you have a stacktrace for that ?

We probably need to get Ivan to update that driver.
