Description of problem:

Cluster does not work after a failed cluster with the same name is destroyed

Version-Release number of the following components:
/openshift-install version
./openshift-install v4.3.0
built from commit a702fd4beb593932067fe1b31f2d911feaa6d93e
release image registry.svc.ci.openshift.org/ocp/release@sha256:15132234d0b753aea0af00f5cfff429cf5eca57513e7cce530207b05167a999f


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create cluster #1 
# openshift-install create cluster --dir cluster1
Platform : gcp
Project ID: openshift-qe
Base Domain: qe.gcp.devcluster.openshift.com
Cluster Name: yangyang

2. Create cluster #2
# openshift-install create cluster --dir cluster2
Make sure cluster #2 has the name cluster name and base domain with cluster #1

Platform : gcp
Project ID: openshift-qe
Base Domain: qe.gcp.devcluster.openshift.com
Cluster Name: yangyang

3. Make sure cluster #1 works well after installation completes

4. Destroy failed cluster #2

Actual results:
Cluster #1 does not work any longer after cluster #2 is destroyed
# oc get  co
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp: lookup api.yangyang.qe.gcp.devcluster.openshift.com on 10.11.5.19:53: no such host

Expected results:
Cluster #1 still works after cluster #2 is destroyed

Additional info:
Please attach logs from ansible-playbook with the -vvv flag

This does not seem like a workflow that a customer is likely to encounter.

Scott Dodson, as it was deferred to 4.4 but with closed state, is it going to be fixed in 4.4?

No, we do not feel that this is working as expected and is not something a customer is likely to do.

Scott Dodson, although it's an edge scenario, it can happen by chance. If a customer create a cluster with a name which is already used by an up and running cluster, the running cluster does not work any longer once customer destroys the failed cluster. From UX perspective, it deserves a fix.

I think we can look up the dns and validate the cluster name before creating resources. Thanks

This is not a technically straight forward problem to solve.

In AWS we wait to remove resources that cannot be attributed to a unique cluster on removal of those resources which can be attributed directly to a unique cluster which lessens the likelihood of running into this problem. We can make sure that happens on GCP as well but it's not a complete solution and given this is a problem we feel is incredibly unlikely to happen we'll defer this to 4.5. If we enter 4.5 bug burn down without any indication of this happening in the field then we'll close this again at that time and expect that it will remain closed until there's indication that this is actually a problem we see in the field.

Can you include the .openshift_install.log from both the runs ?

and include `oc -v=6` after each run from original report.

It's not much clear to me. I do not find -v option for oc.
