nova should have a option to reset(or delete) the user quota to default

[Vijaya Erukala]

At present nova client has following commands for the quota operation.

$nova --help | grep quota
    quota-defaults List the default quotas for a tenant.
    quota-show List the quotas for a tenant.
    quota-update Update the quotas for a tenant.

It will be very helpful to have a command to reset(or delete) quota values to defaults .
For ex: User who wants to do huge tests on the system and rollback once the test is done.

So a new command quota-reset need to be added to the nova client which reverts the quota value supplied for the tenant ,to the default.

Something similar to nova quota-reset( <tenant-id > <key>)

we can use nova quota-defaults to list the default quotas then use the quota-update to update the quota's to default, but the problem with this approach is that if you then change the default quotas, they are not reflected for the tenant.

Both of the patches associated with this bug are abandoned.

[Michael Turek (mjturek)]

This request is pretty old, is this still a desired feature?

[Miguel Grinberg (miguelgrinberg)]

Looks like this was already implemented by "quota-delete".

$ nova --help | grep quota
    quota-class-show List the quotas for a quota class.
    quota-class-update Update the quotas for a quota class.
    quota-defaults List the default quotas for a tenant.
    quota-delete Delete quota for a tenant/user so their quota
    quota-show List the quotas for a tenant/user.
    quota-update Update the quotas for a tenant/user.
