OK, got it now, so it's about the feedback of the python-novaclient. It looks like we have 3 different strategies to provide feedback:
1. Print a message that the task is accepted 2. Print a table with details of the deleted object 3. Print nothing Feedback 1 is usefull for long running asynchronous tasks like the creation of instances: stack@stack:~$ nova boot --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec \ --flavor m1.tiny my-own-instance # [... snip instance details ...] stack@stack:~$ nova delete my-own-instance Request to delete server my-own-instance has been accepted. stack@stack:~$ Feeback 2 is used for deleting a flavor: stack@stack:~$ nova flavor-create my-own-flavor 12345 512 0 3 # [... snip flavor details ...] stack@stack:~$ nova flavor-delete my-own-flavor +-------+---------------+-----------+------+-----------+------+[...] | ID | Name | Memory_MB | Disk | Ephemeral | Swap |[...] +-------+---------------+-----------+------+-----------+------+[...] | 12345 | my-own-flavor | 512 | 0 | 0 | |[...] +-------+---------------+-----------+------+-----------+------+[...] stack@stack:~$ Feedback 3 is used for deleting an agent (as you find out) and also for deleting a keypair: stack@stack:~$ nova agent-create linux x86 1.0 http://dummy.com \ 0e49760580a20076fbba7b1e3ccd20e2 libvirt # [... snip agent details ...] stack@stack:~$ nova agent-delete 1 stack@stack:~$ stack@stack:~$ nova keypair-add my-own-keypair # [... snip keypair details ...] stack@stack:~$ nova keypair-delete my-own-keypair stack@stack:~$ Incomplete: I'd say that "nova agent-delete" doesn't fall into the "feedback 1" category as it isn't a long running task. Because other "nova *-delete" commands also don't provide feedback, I'm not sure if this is a valid bug report. I'm going to ask around. Test Env: I tested with Nova master (Mitaka cycle), commit 859ff48 ** Project changed: nova => python-novaclient ** Changed in: python-novaclient Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1557888 Title: Nova CLI - No message on nova-agent deletion Status in python-novaclient: Incomplete Bug description: In Nova, when deleting a nova-agent , no message or alert is generated. But for other commands eg. nova delete <instance-id>, after deleting an instance a proper message is generated.
