Re: [nova] Clean up "building" instances

Thanks, I forgot to mention that nova doesn't seem to know about them (yet?):

control01:~ # nova show 0453a7e5-e4f9-419b-ad71-d837a20ef6bb ERROR (CommandError): No server with a name or ID of '0453a7e5-e4f9-419b-ad71-d837a20ef6bb' exists.

That's why I was already thinking about modifying the db.

This is probably because whatever network issues you were having resulted in not writing instance map records in the api database. Thus Nova can list them, but not find them on their own by UUID. I think you should be able to use 'nova-manage cell_v2 map_instances' (only needed on cell0) to rebuild those and then you can likely delete (and/or reset first) them. --Dan
