Instances in deleted status can normally be deleted, but there is definitely a bug to file here somewhere – possibly more than one. A common reason I have seen is that the node the instance lives on is no longer operating correctly, so the compute manager never gets the delete request, so it doesn’t finish. If we can narrow the cases where this happens, we can file bugs and decide how to resolve them – although there may be some additional work beyond just a developer picking up the bug and working on it to decide what should happen!
Do you know how to reliably reproduce an instance in ERROR state that cannot be deleted?

I agree user shouldn’t have to update DB. There needs to be some periodic cleanup task that “fixes” the vm_state/task_state for “stuck” instances. -Mandar From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guilherme Birk Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 6:05 PM To: Openstack Mail List Subject: Re: [Openstack] Can't delete instances with "error" status. This is the only option? I've already done that, but it's kind "strange" I update the database row everytime the script identifies a VM with error. ________________________________ Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 09:39:03 +0800 Subject: Re: [Openstack] Can't delete instances with "error" status.

Sometimes, when the script identifies that exists an instance with status of "error", he creates a new instance and tries to delete the old one with curl commands, but I'm not getting any response and the VM isn't deleted. When I execute euca-terminate instance <i-name> I got nothing too. How I should delete instances with error status ? I didn't found any way using nova-manage too. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack<https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack> Post to : [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack<https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack> More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- 非淡薄无以明志，非宁静无以致远 _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack<https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack> Post to : [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack<https://launchpad.net/%7Eopenstack> More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
