In nova, at the moment, they disappear immediately. This makes getting "shutdown" console output just about impossible.

"Only the most recent 64 KB of posted output is stored, which is available for at least 1 hour after the last posting."

I'm assuming you mean that the OpenStack API implementation in Nova should allow access to deleted resources, right?
