Description of problem: After deleting the ovecloud, what is the recommended procedure to clean the nodes and the undercloud if I delete the overcloud by "openstack overcloud delete overcloud", how should I proceed? I found out that there are openstack ports still defined (source stackrc; openstack port list) should I delete these ports? Should I delete the folder /home/stack/overcloud-deploy? Should I unprovision the baremetal nodes (openstack overcloud node unprovision) should I execute the command metalsmith undeploy? The current documentation doesn't clearly identify this Expected results: Additional info:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/17.0/html/director_installation_and_usage/assembly_performing-basic-overcloud-administration-tasks#proc_removing-an-overcloud-stack_performing-basic-overcloud-administration-tasks If you follow the documentation and execute `openstack overcloud delete overcloud` with the described option then the command should unprovision baremetal nodes and network ports. The documentation says "Wait for the overcloud to delete and the nodes and networks to unprovision.", and this clearly states that baremetal nodes and networks should be unprovisioned. Note that VIF ports created by baremetal node imports are kept, so if you are seeing these ports then that's expected. You don't have to delete the /home/stack/overcloud-deploy directory because the files there should be replaced by next overcloud deploy. However removing the directory does not harm and the next run should recreate it again from scratch (as it does for the first run). We can probably add the step to remove /home/stack/overcloud-deploy/<stack name> and /home/stack/config-download/<stack name> .
I discussed this with a few team members and we agreed adding the steps to remove the directories would make sense. I'll convert this to a doc bug to address that. Please add the following step after step 7. ``` 8. Remove the artifacts directories created $ rm -rf ~/overcloud-deploy/<stack> $ rm -rf ~/config-donwload/<stack> Note that the directory paths might be different in case any of `--output-dir` and `--working-dir` are used in the `openstack overcloud deploy` command ```
