During a simple ocata install, religiously following the ubuntu install guide, the nova packages installs fail with:
ERROR: could not access cell mapping database - has api db been created? ... W: Operation was interrupted before it could finish
Has the cell stuff not made it to the install guides yet?
thanks!
Kudos to the installation guide team that worked the update. I did a new ubuntu build today following the updated install docs (marked UPDATED: 2017-03-27) and it works.
[ Note: There is still a little dashboard packaging error. Just do a "# chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/openstack-dashboard/secret_key ; service apache2 restart" ]
I had to push from mitaka to newton to ocata to get the nova cell_v2 commands like create. My solution was to ensure transport_url is correct and alter the db entry for cell0 to point to nova_api_cell0 or as i did, drop the cell0 db and rerun packstack from ocata and it will create nova_cell0 and map correctly. https://ask.openstack.org/en/question...
I have the same problem with the latest version of the guide when I want to install a node.
The Installation process completes, but when I run openstack hypervisor list I get an error that the server is not available. I don't know if these problems correlate.
Has someone experienced the same issues?
thanks for answers!

The guide creates the databases after the installation of Nova components (end of step https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/inst...). If the installation expects the DBs to exist, it's a bug in the guide. Use the bug icon to submit a report.
i have also found in rdo that upgrade to newton nova created nova_api_cell0 where as in ocata it creates nova_cell0 which is what the default cell0 mapping points to...
I checked the bug reports, and it looks like this is a known issue that I hope will be resolved soon.
I've got the sam error yesterday. Seems to be a bug in the guide. I found out (in one of the log-files) that under ocata cells are no longer an option! Take a look on: (https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/config-reference/compute/cells.html (https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/conf...)) Good luck! b.t.w.: no solution found until now
