I don't think this is a valid bug. Admins can already see deleted instances by including "deleted=True" in the search options. Non admins shouldn't be able to see deleted instances.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007116 Title: nova should support showing 'DELETED' servers Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova): Opinion Bug description: Nova supports showing (HTTP GET) on deleted images and flavors. Trying to show a deleted server currently fails however: [root@nova1 ~]# nova delete 4e38efa4-6980-44b0-8774-3a28de88e22f [root@nova1 ~]# nova show 4e38efa4-6980-44b0-8774-3a28de88e22f ERROR: No server with a name or ID of '4e38efa4-6980-44b0-8774-3a28de88e22f' exists. It would seem for consistency that we should follow the model we do with images and flavors and allow 'DELETED' records that still exist in the database to be shown. See example of showing deleted image below: [root@nova1 ~]# nova image-show 01705a39-4deb-402c-a651-e6e8bbef83ef +----------+--------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +----------+--------------------------------------+ | created | 2012-05-31T20:39:36Z | | id | 01705a39-4deb-402c-a651-e6e8bbef83ef | | minDisk | 0 | | minRam | 0 | | name | foo | | progress | 0 | | status | DELETED | | updated | 2012-05-31T20:39:54Z | +----------+--------------------------------------+ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1007116/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : yahoo-eng-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
