why my Instances are running in an intermediate state such as deleting in OpenStack

Question

Hi Guys,

I am working in OpenStack. But whenever I tried to launch an instance it goes in an intermediate state. How can I solve this problem?

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the nova reset-state command to manually reset the state of an instance to an error state. You can then delete the instance. For example:

$ nova reset-state c6bbbf26-b40a-47e7-8d5c-eb17bf65c485
$ openstack server delete c6bbbf26-b40a-47e7-8d5c-eb17bf65c485

You can also use the --active parameter to force the instance back to an active state instead of an error state. For example:

$ nova reset-state --active c6bbbf26-b40a-47e7-8d5c-eb17bf65c485

Hope this will solve the problem.

Thank You
