Bug Description

1. version

`git log -1`
c4763d46fe76c524363a0cf55d1e8afe4bd23f53

This is the version i used to test on my devstack, but in fact this bug exists from at least Juno release till now as i know.

2. Relevant log:

When a soft-delete is made on one instance boot from volume. There will be one line like this in nova-compute.log:

WARNING nova.compute.manager [req-7bbc1701-fbce-41bc-8182-b2cbb6e5ac93 None None] [instance: a3645529-6b11-437e-b1e4-773e87db7223] Ignoring EndpointNotFound: The service catalog is empty.

This is because nova-compute uses a separate thread to do reclaiming instances job, which has an admin context. Since there is no service_catalog in admin context, nova-compute will raise exception EndpointNotFound while it tries to detach the volume.

3. Reproduce steps:

(1) Set a non-zero value for reclaim_instance_interval in /etc/nova/nova.conf on both nova-controller and nova-compute nodes.
reclaim_instance_interval=10, eg. This enables soft-delete feature.

(2) Create an instance with this:

nova boot --flavor xxx --block-device id=<image id>,source=image,dest=volume,size=<volume size>,bootindex=0 --nic net-id=<network uuid> test

(3) Delete the created instance:

nova delete test

(4) On the nova-compute node which hosted "test", there will be one warnging in nova-compute.log like this[NOTE: you should wait until the reclaim_instance_interval is ended, until then nova-compute are going to really terminate the instance]:

 "WARNING nova.compute.manager [req-7bbc1701-fbce-41bc-8182-b2cbb6e5ac93 None None] [instance: a3645529-6b11-437e-b1e4-773e87db7223] Ignoring EndpointNotFound: The service catalog is empty."

(5) if you list your volumes, you can find there still exists one volume attached to the deleted "test" instance. Check that on dashboard, the volume info says "Attached to None".

(6) If you try to delete the that volume with " cinder delete <volume id >". It says the volume is unable to be deleted because it is in attached status.

4. Expected result:

soft-delete detached instance's volume.

5. Actual result:

the volume is still left attached, and undeletable.

That sounds a design problem : should we detach the volume when soft-deleting the instance, or should we wait for the instance to be hard-deleted ?

In case we're detaching the volume, what if someone wants to resurrect their instance but the volume is attached to another instance ?

It is just nova do not know where to send the detach request, as a result
of Endpointnotfound.

I may need to clarify the scene.This is no design problem. Nova did not try
to detach that volume on soft-deleting. It trys to do that when the reclaim
interval is up and the instance to be really terminated. Before is nova
leaves the volume attached to that instance, if someone restore that
instance, no problem at all.

The behaviour of nova is just the same as what you expected. But when nova
went to terminate this soft-deleted instance, it failed to detach the
volume. And it ignored that exception, leave that volume undeletable.
