Public bug reported: With vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 (including precise-proposed) we often see instances get into a 'highlander' state. They're in an 'error' state, like so:
RESERVATION r-n1d0t747 c519923c921a404c96ebc8210a4ec67a juju-canonistack2, juju-canonistack2-10 INSTANCE i-000000bb ami-000000bf server-187 server-187 error None (c519923c921a404c96ebc8210a4ec67a, alce) 0 m1.small 2012-07-02T02:12:56.000Z nova monitoring-disabled instance-store This is particularly problematic when combined with things like LP #1092108. There doesn't seem to be any reasonable way to kill the instances (ec2-terminate-instances as either the owner or an admin user has no effect). (I realise there's not a lot of detail here; I'm happy to any more that's asked for, but the focus of the bug (from my POV) is the unkillable nature of these instances, not how/that they're in an error state.) ** Affects: nova (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: canonistack -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to nova in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1092126 Title: Instances can get into a 'highlander' state - no obvious way to kill them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nova/+bug/1092126/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
