前段时间 VPSee 在 OpenStack Nova 上删除一个 volume 的时候（vol-00000002）报错，检查了一下 volume 的状态是 error_deleting 然后就无法删除了，不管用 euca-delete-volume 还是 nova-manage volume delete 都无法删除。
# euca-delete-volume vol-00000002
ApiError: ApiError: Volume status must be available
# euca-describe-volumes
VOLUME vol-00000002 10 nova error_deleting (mycloud, node01, None, None) 2011-08-30T13:15:24Z
VOLUME vol-00000003 10 nova available (mycloud, node01, None, None) 2011-08-30T13:20:04Z
查了一下要删除的 volume-00000002 的情况：
# lvdisplay
...
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/nova-volumes/volume-00000002
VG Name nova-volumes
LV UUID UgOwdr-W61E-MrdG-PrdY-IToa-LBi8-2XJjXF
LV Write Access read/write
LV Status available
# open 0
LV Size 10.00 GiB
Current LE 2560
Segments 1
Allocation inherit
Read ahead sectors auto
- currently set to 256
Block device 251:2
...
既然用工具没法删除的话就干脆从数据库里直接删除，无非就是一条记录而已，先从 nova 数据库里找到这条 volume 记录并设置状态为 deleted，然后删除实际对应的 LVM. 从数据库里找到相应的表和记录后设置 status 为 deleted 状态：
# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
mysql> use nova;
mysql> select status,id from volumes;
+----------------+----+
| status | id |
+----------------+----+
| creating | 1 |
| error_deleting | 2 |
| available | 3 |
+----------------+----+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> update volumes set status='deleted' where;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
退出 mysql 数据库操作回到命令行就会看到 vol-00000002 的状态是 deleted 的，然后用 lvmremove 命令删除：
# euca-describe-volumes
VOLUME vol-00000002 10 nova deleted (mycloud, node01, None, None) 2011-08-30T13:15:24Z
# ls /dev/nova-volumes/
volume-00000002 volume-00000003
# lvremove /dev/nova-volumes/volume-00000002
Do you really want to remove active logical volume volume-00000002? [y/n]: y
Logical volume "volume-00000002" successfully removed
最后用 nova-manage 命令从数据库里彻底删除 vol-00000002（当然也可以直接在 mysql 里用 SQL 语句操作删除对应的记录 DELETE FROM volumes WHERE id=’2′;）：
# nova-manage volume delete vol-00000002
# euca-describe-volumes
VOLUME vol-00000003 10 nova available (mycloud, node01, None, None) 2011-08-30T13:20:04Z
