instance-gc doesn't work on baremetal

[Robert Collins]

Per bug 1226342 it's possible to get into a situation where a nova bm node has an instance uuid associated with it that doesn't exist anymore (it may be presented 'DELETED' or just completely gone).

This should be detected and result in the node being forced off and deassociated from the instance uuid, in the same way a VM hypervisor kills rogue VM's, but for some reason it's not working.

For tripleo we need to document the failure mode and how to recover.

[Joe Gordon (jogo)]

Setting 'running_deleted_instance_action=reap' in nova.conf *should* cleanup this up. If the instance is deleted disassociate the instance_uuid and if the baremetal machine is on, try powering it off.

Is there any code change required in Nova side?

[Sean Dague (sdague)]

baremetal deprecated

[Brent Eagles (beagles)]

Considering the change to the nova status some time ago and the fixed released status of the referenced bug, I'm changing the status to incomplete.
