Open Stack

Hi Mauro,

Thanks for the info. It worked but here are a few of the things that  found
in the process. I am using Havana not devstack.

1. It appears there is no way to list instances that are in SOFT_DELETE
state using the nova command.
    a. The command "nova list --deleted" does not work; -The --deleted
option in "nova list --deleted" is not recognized
        error: unrecognized arguments: --deleted
    b. The command "nova list --status SOFT_DELETED" does not show the
instance in the status.

2. Even though the soft deleted instance can't be displayed, it can be
restored using nova command.  However, UUID not name must be used to
restore.
