how to clean up zombie volumes

Asked by Toshiharu Harada

Hi all,

I've been trying to construct my own OpenStack environment.
I managed to create a volume after trials.

localadmin@nova3:~$ euca-describe-volumes
VOLUME vol-00000001 10 nova error (proj, nova1, None, None) 2011-12-22T05:39:42Z
VOLUME vol-00000002 10 nova error (proj, nova1, None, None) 2011-12-22T07:44:20Z
VOLUME vol-00000003 7 nova error (proj, nova3, None, None) 2011-12-26T04:11:03Z
VOLUME vol-00000004 7 nova available (proj, nova3, None, None) 2011-12-26T05:24:08Z

As you see, vol-00000004 is available but other three are just garbage.
My problem is I could not find a way to remove those garbage entries.

localadmin@nova3:~$ euca-delete-volume vol-00000001
ApiError: Volume status must be available
localadmin@nova3:~$ euca-deregister vol-00000001
ImageNotFound: Image vol-00000001 could not be found.

It is very likely that I missed the document, but there are so much to read.
Will someone please tell me how?

Thanks in advance. :-)

Thanks to Everett, I could solve my problem.
With the solution Everett gave, I have searched related bugs and added one to my question.

I could not related faq, so I wished to add a new faq entry for other people, but I was not permitted to do it.

So, I leave my own faq here.
