<br/>I cannot.
<br/>The reason why I need to do it is because the current database is
<br/>already in a state which is driving nova-network crazy.
<br/>
<br/>I have sent an email a few days ago about the problem we are having
<br/>with our installation. After some more checking, it seems that the
<br/>problem is caused by the *data* currently stored in the database; we
<br/>tried with an empty one and everything was working smoothly: instances
<br/>are started within one minute and deleted as needed, while going back
<br/>to the original database brings back the issue.
<br/>
<br/>So, we guess it's something on the database, but we don't have either
<br/>the time nor the competence nor the need to further debug the issue,
<br/>since we are planning to move Havana soon and we have to keep the
<br/>cloud up&running ASAP.
<br/>
<br/>Therefore we decided to clean up the database and remove more or less
<br/>everything, but as I said, we would like to keep the information
<br/>mentioned before.
