There exist a way of circumventing that? Can OpenStack solve it before creating an instance? Worth noticing that I ran the unstack script before starting creating new instances, so it is a residual instance from another time I ran stack script. Steps to Reproduce ===================== I don't know. Expected Result ================== Not sure, but I think that the system needs to be prepared against this situation. The worst case is the scenario where it is not possible to create instances because a range of names is being used. Actual Result ================ Many instances been set to error state because a name of an existent instance already exists. Environment ============== Devstack/Queens/Stable. Ubuntu 16.04. Logs & Configs ================ Attached.
