Glance image snapshot is not getting deleted after instance unshelve operation
Issue
- Why snapshot image of shelved instance, using rbd backend for glance and nova, remains due to an exception after unshelving ?
- Tried to unshelve an shelved instance, the instance can be booted successfully. However, its snapshot image, expected to be removed automatically, still remains.
- Following call trace reported when
ushelve
instance is trying to delete the glance image snapshot.
