Hi,

I have Del R603 Server with 16 CPU 64GB RAM and 600GB - 3NOS HDD.

I have 2 interfaces em1 and em2 having the network interface as 10.211.5.111 and 10.211.15.111.

I have installed the packstack queen using the following command.

systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl disable firewalld
systemctl stop NetworkManager
systemctl disable NetworkManager

yum upgrade -y
yum install -y centos-release-openstack-queen
yum install -y openstack-packstack
yum install -y python-openstackclient

Using the Answer file i have installed the openstack. Installation completed successfully. Now when I try to create a Instance and its giving error as No valid host was found.

This error means that you don't have enough resources, usually RAM or Storage, to run the instance. Wrong CPU architecture is another possibility.

How did you launch the instance?

Bernd Bausch ( 2018-07-05 04:01:16 -0500 )edit

Thanks a lot for replying. But this is the first VM that I am creating after the Pack stack is installed. Resources wise we have 16CPU and 64 GB RAM and 1.6T disk visible in Openstack Console.

And we are creating a VM with 2 CPU, 10GB RAM and 50 GB HDD.

On the same server we have OCATA installed and everything was working fine. we were able to create multiple instances. But now i have newly installed queen after flashing the server again with the same OS.

I am suspecting some configuration issue, Can you kindly help.

Enable debug logging for Nova and check the Nova scheduler log, perhaps also the Placement log. One of the two logs should tell you which scheduling filter(s) reject(s) the instance.

I don't have a definite answer, but a lot to write, so I am using the answer field.

It would appear that the Placement service has already an entry with the name of your compute host, openstack. This is strange; I speculate that you installed Packstack once, perhaps incompletely. This filled the Placement database, then you performed another installation on top of that.

Below are my suggestions for repairing your current situation. I think it's a useful exercise with a learning effect, but you may also opt for simply doing a reinstallation from scratch (i.e., reinstall the OS to ensure everything is wiped out, then Packstack).

The Placement service has a CLI, but I didn't get it to work on my Queens-based devstack. The command to list the resource providers is openstack resource providers list. If that doesn't work, use the API:

$ openstack catalog list
$ PLACEMENT_ENDPOINT=placement-endpoint-returned-by-previous-command
$ openstack token issue -f value -c id
$ TOKEN=the-token-returned-by-the-previous-command
$ curl ${PLACEMENT_ENDPOINT}/resource_providers -H "x-auth-token: $TOKEN" | python -m json.tool

This returns the resource provider's UUID. Under normal circumstances, it should be the same as the UUID returned by nova hypervisor-list. My guess is that it is not so in your case.

Armed with this UUID, you can remove the resource provider, then restart nova-compute. My hope is that it can register with the Placement service at this point.

The API to delete a resource provider:

$ UUID=uuid-of-resource-provider-named-openstack
$ curl ${PLACEMENT_ENDPOINT}/resource_providers/$UUID -H "x-auth-token: $TOKEN" -X DELETE

In case this doesn't work because there are allocations, list those allocations:

$ curl ${PLACEMENT_ENDPOINT}/resource_providers/${UUID}/allocations -H "x-auth-token: $TOKEN"

This returns a list of the instance(s) that use(s) this resource provider. Delete those instances. If they don't exist (likely), delete the allocations:

$ CONSUMER=uuid-of-allocation-consumer-from-previous-API
$ curl ${PLACEMENT_ENDPOINT}/allocations/$CONSUMER -H "x-auth-token: $TOKEN" -X DELETE

I have successfully tested these steps on the above-mentioned Devstack, except for the last one.

EDIT:

Your scenario fits my speculation. You installed Packstack once, creating a Placement service record for openstack. Then you installed it again without resetting the database. When your host tries to register with the Placement service, this fails because of the pre-existing resource provider record.

Now, you fixed the Placement problem, but I fear you will run into other problems caused by installing Packstack on an existing database.

How I learned all that? Thanks for flattering me. I started learning OpenStack about 4.5 years ago in order to teach training courses. Apart from curiosity, expanding my business was a great motivator:) The learning curve was steep but fun. OpenStack continues to be a hobby and also brings in some revenue. Hire me :)

I also learn a lot by answering questions on ask.openstack.org. Thanks to your problem, for example, I know now that there is a Placement CLI, even though it doesn't work on my cloud. Perhaps it needs Rocky, or it's requires additional work for setting up.

I did the sam execution and it worked. But I had a question... How do you learn all this to debug and fix. I have attached the exection output. Please have a look if possible.

gaurav.mittal ( 2018-07-06 21:58:52 -0500 )edit

Gaurav, well done. I added a few pointers for learning about OpenStack to my answer.

Bernd Bausch ( 2018-07-06 22:49:51 -0500 )edit

Thanks a lot for all the help. But do you suggest me go reflash the OS and install the again. I still have another issue where i am not able to add an OVA file in the images from dashboard. An unexpected error has occurred. Try refreshing the page. If that doesn't help, contact your local administr

gaurav.mittal ( 2018-07-06 23:13:10 -0500 )edit

Yes, it's better to start from scratch. Who knows what other unwanted data you have in your database.

Whether the image problem is related, I can't say. As always, check the logs - in this case the Glance API log for a start. Also try the equivalent command from the command line.

Bernd Bausch ( 2018-07-07 00:25:17 -0500 )edit

@Bernd: what a great post! I run into the same issue due to a similar cause today. In my case, I redeployed my stack using openstack-ansible and ended up with the same "conflict of resource provider" error. I don't know how it could happen given ansible is supposed to be idempotent, but it happened.
