so late last night i had this problem and searched google and found myself asking the same question after 4 months.

it appears there is a way (still untested by me but hopefully someone here can verify) to remove the lock
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1250348 states to run
   ironic node-update ba28de78-f300-4adb-b3e9-eb2ff137f8d7 replace reservation=fake

i am kind of leery of setting it to fake tho

I did an ironic node delete * and did everything over again. No lock. I did not change my hosts file.
Strange behaviour though

This is what I have in my undercloud VM /etc/hosts file:

Subject: [Rdo-list] [rdo-manager] node locked by localhost.localdomain

 

hi

i am attempting introspection (for the umpteenth time) and i keep getting the error that says node is locked by localhost.localdomain.

it is extremely puzzling because i have a line in /etc/hosts just for my undercloud.

(hmm.. does my 127.0.0.1 undercloud.hostname need to be on its own line or with the 127.0.0.1 locahost.localdomain line?)

i found an rhosp bug since last year with no activity (1232997)  that  indicate the node may be a duplicate. however i am performing an ironic node-delete uuid before beginning introspection.


anybody got any any ideas?
