--- other: - | A new ``nova-manage placement heal_allocations`` CLI has been added to help migrate users from the deprecated CachingScheduler. Starting in 16.0.0 (Pike), the nova-compute service no longer reports instance allocations to the Placement service because the FilterScheduler does that as part of scheduling. However, the CachingScheduler does not create the allocations in the Placement service, so any instances created using the CachingScheduler after Ocata will not have allocations in Placement. The new CLI allows operators using the CachingScheduler to find all instances in all cells which do not have allocations in Placement and create those allocations. The CLI will skip any instances that are undergoing a task state transition, so ideally this would be run when the API is down but it can be run, if necessary, while the API is up. For more details on CLI usage, see the man page entry: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/cli/nova-manage.html#placement
