I'm confused here, when you say directly from image, do you mean ephemeral
volumes (nova) or persistent volumes (cinder)? I will assume cinder volumes
since we've BDM here and nova is triggering cinder to create bootable
volumes.

Which OpenStack release you're working on?
I think the operation is failing asynchronously on the cinder side
(probably in c-vol) and nova times out waiting for a response. I suggest
you check cinder logs (c-api, c-sch, c-vol) for a more specific error
message.
