I do see these messages in the log (approximately once/minute, it looks like). Here's a test: - I boot and then deleted ('nova delete ...') an instance. This leaves the database looking like this: mysql> select created_at,updated_at,allocated,instance_id from fixed_ips where allocated=0 and instance_id is not null; +---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+ | created_at | updated_at | allocated | instance_id | +---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+ | 2012-06-21 20:26:45 | 2012-06-26 18:56:32 | 0 | 2247 | +---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) - I wait a while... mysql> select utc_time(); +------------+ | utc_time() | +------------+ | 19:08:24 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) - But the ip still has an instance_id: mysql> select created_at,updated_at,allocated,instance_id from fixed_ips where allocated=0 and instance_id is not null; +---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+ | created_at | updated_at | allocated | instance_id | +---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+ | 2012-06-21 20:26:45 | 2012-06-26 18:56:32 | 0 | 2247 | +---------------------+---------------------+-----------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) > fixed_ip_disassociate_timeout defaults to 600 so ips should be reclaimed > after 10 minutes unless you have changed the value of that option. That option appears to be set to the default of 600 seconds. -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <l...@seas.harvard.edu> | Senior Technologist | http://ac.seas.harvard.edu/ Academic Computing | http://code.seas.harvard.edu/ Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences | _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : openstack@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
