<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">At the cinder mid-cycle it was decided that the best way to fix volumes stuck in ‘attaching’ or ‘detaching’ was NOT to fix the broken reset-state command. The doc string and
help message for reset-state have been modified to warn the user that the tool only affects Cinder DB and can cause problems. But, ultimately, a separate command to ‘force-detach’ would be better. I’ve abandoned the original BP/spec for reset-state involving
the driver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I have looked at the existing function ‘force-detach’ in Cinder and it seems to work…except that Nova must be involved. Nova uses the BlockDeviceMapping table to keep track
of attached volumes and, if Nova is not involved, a force-detach’ed volume will not be capable of being re-attached.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">So, my plan is to submit a blueprint + spec for Novaclient to add a ‘force-detach’ command. This is technically fairly simple and only involves stripping away the checks for
proper state in Nova, and calling Cinder force-detach. I don’t plan on asking for an exception to feature freeze, unless there is optimism from the community that this could possible get in for L.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The existing Cinder force-detach calls terminate_connection() and detach_volume(). I assume detach_volume() is covered by the “Volume Detach” minimum feature? I see many drivers
have terminate_connection(), but not all. I believe this will not be a minimum feature, but others may disagree.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you are going to add a force-detach command to nova, I think it would be good to make it detach even if the cinder request fails. Currently if you try to detach a volume (or terminate an instance with an attached volume), if cinder is
down or the volume node where the volume resides is down, nova refuses to continue, which is pretty bad user experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
