It seems we're using start to restore the instance, which also works.
novaclient(request).servers.start(instance_id)

Yes I noticed the other day that the restore and force_delete
admin commands are not in novaclient. I was planning on adding
them at some point soon, but it should be a really easy addition
if someone wants to tackle it before I get to it.

Hi Vish,
Sorry, I wasn't very clear in my original post. I have
reclaim_instance_inteval set, and the instance does go to
"SOFT_DELETED". I can see that the api extension adds a
"restore" verb to the list of actions on an instance.
What I was trying to find out was if that additional action was
available from the nova client. E.g is there a "nova restore
<xxx>" command ? Looking through the client code I can't see one,
but thought I might be missing something.
Thanks
Phil

Hi Folks,
Does the nova client provide support to restore a soft deleted
instance (and if not, what is the process for pulling an
instance back from the brink) ?
If you have reclaim_instance_interval set then you can restore
instances via an admin api command. If not then you are not going
to have much luck reclaiming the insance becasue the drive will
be deleted. If by some chance you have the backing files still,
then you should be able to fix the db and do a hard reboot on the
instance to get it to come back up. Fixing the db is mostly about
setting deleted=False but keep in mind that you will also have to
manually restore the vif and reassociate the fixed ip which
hopefully hasn't been associated to a new instance.
