Hi All,

Looking at the ironic virt driver code in nova it seems that a Conflict
(409) response from the ironic client results in the driver re-trying
the request. Given the comment below in the ironic code I would imagine
that is not the right behavior – it reads as though this is something
that would fail on the retry as well.

class Conflict(HTTPClientError):

     """HTTP 409 - Conflict.

     Indicates that the request could not be processed because of conflict

     in the request, such as an edit conflict.

     """

     http_status = 409

     message = _("Conflict")

An example of this is if the virt driver attempts to assign an instance
to a node that is in the power on state it will issue this Conflict
response.
It's possible that a periodic background process is going on, retrying makes perfect sense for this case. We're trying to get away from background processes causing Conflict btw.

Have I understood this or is there something about this I am not getting
right?

Paul
