Hi,

Will a Cinder volume creation request ever timeout and be rescheduled in case 
the host with the volume service it has been scheduled to is not consuming the 
corresponding message?

Similarly: if the host the volume has been created on and to which later the 
deletion request is scheduled has disappeared (e.g. meanwhile retired), will 
the scheduler try to schedule to another host?

From what I see, the answer to both of these questions seems to be ’no'. Things 
can get stuck in these scenarios and can only be unblocked by resurrecting the 
down host or by manually changing the Cinder database.

Is my understanding correct?

Is there a way to tag hosts so that any of my Cinder hosts can pick up the 
creation (and in particular deletion) message? I tried with the “host” 
parameter in cinder.conf which seems to “work", but is probably not meant for 
this, in particular as it touches the services database and makes the hosts 
indistinguishable
(which in turn breaks cinder-manage).

How do people deal with this issue?

Thanks!
 Arne
