[Bug 1436693] [NEW] Unable to delete incomplete instance

 

Public bug reported:

When instance creation is finished incompletely by any reason, nova can't delete its instance.
When an instance has no related record in instance_info_caches, "nova delete" bring error state.

The case we found:

1) Create instance.
$ nova boot --flavor 2 --image 17f667e4-b932-4a6c-a01c-478b69c0f8bd test1

2) Some error occurred (maybe caused by network problem).

3) Try deleting the instance, but it is failed.
$ nova delete 2f677075-9d9c-4e1b-b483-74d79b31af26

5) Checking databases, then info cache for the instance could not be found.
mysql> select * from nova.instance_info_caches 
       where instance_uuid = '2f677075-9d9c-4e1b-b483-74d79b31af26';
Empty set (0.00 sec)


When the instance has no related record in instance_info_caches, an error has occurred ('NoneType' object has no attribute).
As a result, nova can't delete the instance.
The root cause should be addressed radically (caused by the environment?), but any incomplete instance should be deletable by Nova.

  5) Checking databases, then info cache for the instance could not be found.
  mysql> select * from nova.instance_info_caches 
         where instance_uuid = '2f677075-9d9c-4e1b-b483-74d79b31af26';
  Empty set (0.00 sec)

  
  When the instance has no related record in instance_info_caches, an error has occurred ('NoneType' object has no attribute).
  As a result, nova can't delete the instance.
  The root cause should be addressed radically (caused by the environment?), but any incomplete instance should be deletable by Nova.
