There is currently no simple way to clean up Cinder attachments if the Nova 
node (or the instance) has gone away. We’ve put this topic on the agenda for 
the Cinder mid-cycle this week:

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Nova][Cinder] Cleanly detaching volumes from failed 
nodes

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was any way to cleanly detach volumes from failed 
nodes.  In the case where the node is up nova-compute will call Cinder's 
terminate_connection API with a "connector" that includes information about the 
node - e.g., hostname, IP, iSCSI initiator name, FC WWPNs, etc.
If the node has died, this information is no longer available, and so the 
attachment cannot be cleaned up properly.  Is there any way to handle this 
today?  If not, does it make sense to save the connector elsewhere (e.g., DB) 
for cases like these?

Thanks,
Avishay
