[Bug 1444683] [NEW] Still can't delete an VM in bad status from CLI/API on Kilo release

 

Public bug reported:

When a VM is in a bad status, there's no effective way to delete it from
CLI/API even after reset-state. The only known option is to delete it
from MySql tables. in Kilo release following Nova tables will need to be
touched which is inconvenient and could post a risk. Would suggest to
come up with a tool to clean up a dysfunctional VM without touching
MySql tables.

Entries to be delete in following order

nova.instance_info_caches
nova.block_device_mapping
nova.instance_actions_events
nova.instance_actions
nova.instance_system_metadata
nova.instances
