+
+    When resizing a server, if CONF.allow_resize_to_same_host is False,
+    the API will set RequestSpec.ignore_hosts = [instance.host] and then
+    later in conductor the RequestSpec changes are saved to persist the new
+    flavor. This inadvertently saves the ignore_hosts value. Later if you
+    try to migrate, evacuate or unshelve the server, that original source
+    host will be ignored. If the deployment has a small number of computes,
+    like two in an edge node, then evacuate will fail because the only other
+    available host is ignored. This test recreates the scenario.
