[Bug 1461055] Re: Can't delete instance stuck in deleting task

 

Sorry, hitted tab too fast.

So, was saying that in general, we recommend to run 'nova reset-state
<vm>' to set the state to the desired option and then delete it again.

Could you please try it ?

Title:
  Can't delete instance stuck in deleting task

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Description of problem:  On a Juno HA deployment, nova over shared nfs
  storage, when I deleted an instance it was "deleted":

  2015-06-02 11:57:36.273 3505 INFO nova.virt.libvirt.driver [req-
  4cc54412-a449-4c7a-bbe1-b21d202bcfe7 None] [instance:
  7b6c8ad5-7633-4d53-9f84-93b12a701cd3] Deletion of
  /var/lib/nova/instances/7b6c8ad5-7633-4d53-9f84-93b12a701cd3_del
  complete

  Also instance wasn't found with virsh list all. 
  Yet nova list and Horizon both still show this instance as stuck in task deleting, two hours+ pasted since I deleted it. 

  Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  rhel 7.1
  python-nova-2014.2.2-19.el7ost.noarch
  openstack-nova-compute-2014.2.2-19.el7ost.noarch
  python-novaclient-2.20.0-1.el7ost.noarch
  openstack-nova-common-2014.2.2-19.el7ost.noarch

  How reproducible:
  Unsure, it doesn't happen with every instance deletion, but happened more than this one time. 

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Boot an instance
  2. Delete instance 
  3. Instance is stuck in deleting task on nova/Horozon. 

  Actual results:
  Stuck with a phantom "deleting" instance, which is basically already dead from Virsh's point of view. 

  Expected results:
  Instance should get deleted including from nova list/Horizon. 

  Additional info:

  
  Workaround doing openstack-service restart for nova on compute node fixed my problem. Instance is totally gone from Nova/Horizon.
