John Garbutt e3c5e22d1f Re-use existing ComputeNode on ironic rebalance
When a nova-compute service dies that is one of several ironic based
nova-compute services running, a node rebalance occurs to ensure there
is still an active nova-compute service dealing with requests for the
given instance that is running.

Today, when this occurs, we create a new ComputeNode entry. This change
alters that logic to detect the case of the ironic node rebalance and in
that case we re-use the existing ComputeNode entry, simply updating the
host field to match the new host it has been rebalanced onto.

Previously we hit problems with placement when we get a new
ComputeNode.uuid for the same ironic_node.uuid. This reusing of the
existing entry keeps the ComputeNode.uuid the same when the rebalance of
the ComputeNode occurs.

Without keeping the same ComputeNode.uuid placement errors out with a 409
because we attempt to create a ResourceProvider that has the same name
as an existing ResourceProvdier. Had that worked, we would have noticed
the race that occurs after we create the ResourceProvider but before we
add back the existing allocations for existing instances. Keeping the
ComputeNode.uuid the same means we simply look up the existing
ResourceProvider in placement, avoiding all this pain and tears.

OpenStack Nova

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:
