Johannes Kulik a323ed29ee vmware: Handle exception in destroy with attached volumes
When an attempt to delete an instance doesn't succeed and nova retries
on the next nova-compute restart, an instance not existing in the back
end anymore can lead to an uncatched exception in the vmware driver
prohibiting instance deletion. This is the case, if the instance had
volumes attached, because `_detach_instance_volumes()` always powers off
the instance - which cannot work if the instance doesn't exist anymore.

While the code already catched `ManagedObjectNotFoundException`, it also
needs to catch `InstanceNotFound` raised by `vm_util.get_vm_ref()` to
complete the deletion as seen in the traceback below (which comes from a
queens codebase):

     Traceback (most recent call last):

OpenStack Nova

image

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.

Further developer focused documentation is available at:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
