i try to delete all of this instance with nova delete id/name command, but unsuccessful! I try also nova reset-state --active id/name instance....but unsuccessful! Are there other way to delete correctly those instance o i have to delete this manually from db?

Thanks all

Hi,

  • check on which compute node these instances was booted
  • check if all images are deleted (otherwise will reep the compute service later)
  • search these 3 instances by ID in your DB
  • update these 3 rows (DB) and marked as "deleted=t"
  • check on your compute nodes if you get warnings like [..]Found 6 in the database and 5 on the hypervisor[..]

If it's gone congrats :).... next check why this error occurs, normally your compute service doesn't report to your messeging bus.

Cheers Heiko

hi foexle you are right in testing environment it will works but in production environment it is not the right way could you post your configuration files of nova.

by stopping the services in nova threre is no damage but in production environment it will be a mistake?

Thanks at all...

check on which compute node these instances was booted (Howto?)

I have never seen the instance on...may be because the building process is never completly finished! :) I try to run my first instance...

check if all images are deleted

cinder list is empty

update these 3 rows (DB) and marked as "deleted=t"

I have run this query on my db:

select id,display_name,host,vm_state,task_state,progress,node,deleted from instances;
+----+---------------+----------------------+----------+------------+----------+----------------------+---------+
| id | display_name  | host                 | vm_state | task_state | progress | node                 | deleted |
+----+---------------+----------------------+----------+------------+----------+----------------------+---------+
|  1 | try_to_try    | NULL                 | building | deleting   |        0 | NULL                 |       1 |
|  2 | demo-instace1 | NULL                 | building | deleting   |        0 | NULL                 |       2 |
|  3 | demo-instace1 | NULL                 | building | deleting   |        0 | NULL                 |       3 |
|  4 | demo-instace1 | cloud99it | error    | deleting   |        0 | cloud99it |       0 |
|  5 | demo-instace1 | cloud99it | error    | deleting   |        0 | cloud99it |       0 |
|  6 | demo-instace1 | cloud99it | error    | deleting   |        0 | cloud99it |       0 |
|  7 | demo-instace1 | cloud99it | error    | deleting   |        0 | cloud99it |       0 |
+----+---------------+----------------------+----------+------------+----------+----------------------+---------+

First to update "deleted=t", how can I select the host on witch run the instance? I have 2 compute nodes... the first is a physical one and the second is virtual one... cloud99it is the first node and it's unplugged to the network: for this reason i wan to run the instance on cloud100...

and yes, this is a testing env
