Ewww I wish we made this harder. Please try to avoid resetting states
like this unless you really have to.

The cleanest way of detaching the volume from the instance is going to
be to mark the volume attachment as deleted within the Nova database
and hard rebooting the instance.

$ mysql nova_cell1
MariaDB [nova_cell1]> update block_device_mapping set deleted = id
where volume_id = '$volume_id' and instance_uuid = '$instance_uuid';

Confirm the volume is no longer listed as attached and then hard reboot:

$ openstack server volume list $instance
$ openstack server reboot --hard $instance

Depending on your volume backend you will likely need to manually
clean up any now stale volume connections on the host. For example,
deleting any mpath devices etc. You might want to consider a full
compute host reboot to ensure things are clean.

Anyway, hope this helps,
