IC94510: IP ADDRESS REMAINS IN "RESERVED" STATE AFTER THE VIRTUAL SYSTEM INSTANCE IS DELETED

IBM PureApplication System Version 1.1.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During a virtual system deployment that required reserving IP
  addresses across more than one IP group where the first IP
  reservation worked, but subsequent reservations for another IP
  address on an IP group on a different subnet failed, it was
  observed that the first reserved IP was not properly released
  and remained in the 'reserved' state.
  

Local fix

• Use the IaaS REST API to manually release the reserved IP.
  
  1) Determine the subnet's UUID - it can be seen in the URL when
  you have the IP group selected in the System Console.
  
  2) Issue the following REST API command:
  
  GET
  https://<rack_ip>/deployment/resources/addresses?subnet=<subn
  et_ uuid>
  
  filling in the <rack_ip> and <subnet_uuid> values as
  appropriate.
  
  3) This will return a list of all the IPs in the subnet.
  Locate the IP in question; it should have a state of
  'reserved'.  Note its UUID (from the id: field in the JSON
  body).  You will need this for the body of the next POST
  command.
  
  4) Issue the following REST API command:
  
  POST
  https://<rack_ip>/deployment/resources/subnets/<subnet_uuid>/rel
  ease
  
  with a body of:
  {
     "options" :
     {
        "addr_list" : [
            "/deployment/resources/addresses/<address_uuid>"
        ]
     }
  }
  
  filling in the <rack_ip> and <subnet_uuid> and <address_uuid>
  values as appropriate.
  
  5) The IP should be use-able.
  

Problem summary

• A problem was found in the code that releases IP addresses after
  a failed deployment.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been corrected.
  

Temporary fix
