Hello,

I have to shut down some running instances from worker nodes, as the 
physical machine suffer disk errors.
After I remove them from worker nodes, nova still thinks the instances 
are in "shutoff" state, although they
are completely disappeared already on worker nodes. I tried "nova 
delete" and "euca-terminate-instance"
commands, try to clean them off the list as shown from 
euca-describe-instances, without success.  How can
I clean up these zombie instances?

I am using essex release  2012.1.1-15 on RHEL6.

Thanks,
Xin
