Total is 24G and 12 cores available on box, so no probs there...

OK, so I checked again this morning and I'm still seeing the project
beginning with 287 above (the demo tenant) having 10 reserved, no
in_use, and a NULL until_refresh column. When is this quiescience point
supposed to come?
When I check the instances table for that project_id, look what pops up:
mysql> select vm_state, task_state, count(*) as num from instances where
project_id = '287a92da0cf14a27a43c8737417b029d' group by vm_state,
task_state;
+----------+------------+-----+
| vm_state | task_state | num |
+----------+------------+-----+
| building | scheduling | 5 |
| deleted | NULL | 68 |
+----------+------------+-----+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Unfortunately, when logged into the Horizon control panel for the Demo
project, the Instances and Volumes tab shows absolutely nothing.
When doing a nova list, here's what pops up:
jpipes at uberbox:~/repos/tempest$ nova list
+----+------+--------+----------+
| ID | Name | Status | Networks |
+----+------+--------+----------+
+----+------+--------+----------+
I'm restarting my devstack + tempest runs with SCREEN_LOGDIR set so I
can track what's happening in the scheduler to leave the instances in
scheduling state. But clearly, something is haywire with either:
* The error handling in how quotas are calculated (since by the DB,
there are only 5 out of the 10 quota-limited instances known to be
"scheduling"
* The reservation system is not freeing up resources after some amount
of time? Is there a configuration option for setting the expiration time
for reservations?
Best,
