= How to destroy a virt instance

A playbook is available to destroy a virtual instance.

----
sudo -i ansible-playbook -vvv /srv/web/infra/ansible/playbooks/destroy_virt_inst.yml -e target=osbs-master01.stg.iad2.fedoraproject.org
----

In some cases the instance that you are trying to delete was not in a clean state. You could then try to run the following:

. Undefine the instance
+
----
sudo -i ssh virthost04.stg.iad2.fedoraproject.org 'virsh undefine osbs-node02.stg.phx2.fedoraproject.org'
----

. Remove the logical volume
+
----
sudo -i ssh virthost04.stg.iad2.fedoraproject.org 'lvremove /dev/vg_guests/bodhi-backend01.phx2.fedoraproject.org'
----

To connect to a virtual instance console you need to first ssh to the virthost box. For example

----
sudo -i ssh virthost04.stg.iad2.fedoraproject.org
(virthost04.stg.iad2.fedoraproject.org) virsh console osbs-node02.stg.iad2.fedoraproject.org
