As pointed out to me by ev0ldave in #openstack the way to fix this is to figure out exactly what the instance ID is.
$ mysql -u root -p mysql> USE nova; mysql> SELECT id, host, hostname FROM instances; ... mysql> UPDATE instances SET deleted=1, deleted_at="2012-10-10 14:56:30", vm_state="deleted" WHERE id = 240; ... mysql> quit; $ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/nova/instances/instance-00000240 Solves the issue assuming your bad instance is ID 240. Rinse and repeat for each instance. It'd be nice to programatically fix this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012551 Title: Cannot delete instance in ERROR status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1012551/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
