Public bug reported: The "nova delete" command can be issued while the instance is spawning and even Ironic support aborting a deployment mid-operation (when node is in WAITDEPLOY state).
But if you issue a "nova delete" while the instance is spawming with the Ironic driver the instance will be stuck there and nothing will happen. That's because of a lock[1], basically the Ironic driver won't return from spawn() until the node have been successfully deployed or error out and that's holding the lock. WORKAROUND: As a work around, you can issue "nova delete" to the instance and that will mark the task_state as "deleting". And then you can delete the instance directly via the Ironic API as well by doing: $ ironic node-set-provision-state <node uuid> deleted That will realease the instance.
