This is a blueprint [1] approved for Newton and making slow progress. [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/detach-boot-volume Re-targeting to Queens/RHOSP 13 for re-evaluation, unfortunately we do not have scope to work on this during the Pike/RHOSP 12 cycle. This bugzilla has been removed from the release since it has not been triaged, and needs to be reviewed for targeting another release. The upstream work on this was previously abandoned. We understand the desire to enable this use case but have concerns about the amount of assumptions likely to exist in the nova code base that would be impacted by this change (read: likely significant refactoring required). Given we would like to focus more of our attention on stabilization for Queens/RHOSP 13 we would therefore need to defer any attempts to revive this work until at least Rocky/RHOSP 14. I don't use OpenStack anymore; the original bug was a show stopped so moved on from that. No idea what "needinfo" is needed, but I can't contribute to this bug anymore. Long story short, this bug prevented a large deployment from being successful in 2015 (10,000 plus instances), over three years ago. I don't know what else to add. Thank you. I'm reopenining this BZ because it was requested by another customer. If it's too hard to implement, just let us know so we can set expectations accordingly.

While this is awkward we shouldn't close this out for now, at least until #1449607 implements volume backed instance rescue. Moving to rhos-15.0? for now to move this out of our rhos-14.0 queries. As per the upstream discussion detaching and ataching root volum can invaldate the placement of the vm by changing the numa/pining requiremetn or via traits on the image. http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-February/003178.html https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/detach-boot-volume+(status:open+OR+status:merged) The ability to detach the root volume is still progressing upstream but has reverted to only supporting shelved instances. Closing this out as WONTFIX given it hasn't been accepted for 17.0 and the previous upstream work to support this with unshelved instances has been abandoned. |
