--- upgrade: - imageRef input to the REST API is now restricted to be UUID or an empty string only. imageRef input while create, rebuild and rescue server etc must be a valid UUID now. Previously, a random image ref url containing image UUID was accepted. But now all the reference of imageRef must be a valid UUID (with below exception) otherwise API will return 400. Exception- In case boot server from volume. Previously empty string was allowed in imageRef and which is ok in case of boot from volume. Nova will keep the same behavior and allow empty string in case of boot from volume only and 400 in all other case.
