terminating nova instance always terminates quantum port.

[dan wendlandt]

I created a port
provisioned a instance using this port
Now when i terminate the instance nova automatically deletes/terminates the port. Is this a right behavior ?

In my opinion since nova instance creation api was given the port_id it shoudnt terminate the port, since some one might want to reuse the port

This is the known behavior, though we have talked about the need for a way to preserve ports after termination.

Mark mcclain has already done some thinking about this I believe.

Note, I suspect this would actually be a change that happens in nova, but it makes sense for the quantum team to track it for now.

[Mark McClain (markmcclain)]

Yes, this will require modifications to Nova's networking code as Nova initiates the port deletes.

Any update on this issue. We create fixed IP ports and would like to reuse them.

Mark, are you aware of any work in Neutron/Nova to support this funtionality?
