[Bug 1781300] Re: resize reschedule results in CantStartEngineError during up-call to InstanceMappings table

 

This is low priority since most production deployments are probably not
running with split conductors and the cell conductor being isolated from
the API DB, it's mostly only an issue we hit in devstack, therefore I
probably won't backport this past Stein unless someone needs it.

** Changed in: nova/pike
       Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

  This is because in a default superconductor mode in devstack, the
  n-cpu and n-cond-cell1 services aren't configured for the nova API DB
  and can't hit the instance mappings table in the API DB, but when
  nova-compute casts to the cell conductor's migrate_server method, it's
  decorated with the @targets_cell decorator which attempts to find the
  instance mapping for the instance to get the cell and blows up.

  In this reschedule scenario, the instance (and context) are actually
  already targeted to a cell so we should be able to just short-circuit
  the targets_cell decorator.
