Chapter 14. Database cleaning
The content for this feature is available in this release as a Documentation Preview, and therefore is not fully verified by Red Hat. Use it only for testing, and do not use in a production environment.
The Compute service includes an administrative tool, nova-manage
, that you can use to perform deployment, upgrade, clean-up, and maintenance-related tasks, such as applying database schemas, performing online data migrations during an upgrade, and managing and cleaning up the database.
The following database management tasks are performed by default:
- Archives deleted instance records by moving the deleted rows from the production tables to shadow tables.
- Purges deleted rows from the shadow tables after archiving is complete.
