Setup Information: 1xController (name: controllerstack) 2xCompute nodes. (name: computestack, computestack2)

Network setup : NIC 1 (eth0) - 192.168.0.0/24 Network setup : NIC 2 (eth1) - 192.168.10.0/24 (has internet connection)

Setup guide being followed: Openstack Rocky Installation guide (https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/ (https://docs.openstack.org/install-gu...)) Neutron Setup: Networking Option 1: Provider networks - https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/rocky/install/controller-install-option1-ubuntu.html (https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/ro...)

I am trying to create an instance from horizon on the controller and I get the following error

Error: Failed to perform requested operation on instance "c3", the instance has an error status: Please try again later [Error: Exceeded maximum number of retries. Exhausted all hosts available for retrying build failures for instance 05d7247e-c157-4744-82ba-8a73c5cb42ae.].

Logs on controller: nova-api.log : https://pastebin.com/CiYD3Pez apache2 error.log : https://pastebin.com/Fck0C0kt

Logs from compute: Nova-compute.log : https://pastebin.com/Www7vHcr

I haven't gone through the logs in each compute nodes. Any input would be valuable.

The launch fails because Nova is unable to create a volume in time. novainfinite’s answer may help. If not:

Did you set up the volume service? Can you create volumes? If not, either complete volume service setup, or launch the instance without volume.

Yes I did try without the volume and it gives me another error. Added to the original post. I will try to fix the volume setup though. But even without the volume it gives me error.

the 2nd error means that the instance launch failed on all compute nodes that were tried. Failure details in the nova compute log(s) and/or libvirt log(s).

I have added the nova compute log from one of the compute nodes. I can see a neutron error in there. Is that the problem?

star5 gravatar imagestar5 ( 2018-11-26 09:43:06 -0500 )edit

I have checked the config logs in the controller and compute nodes for nova and it is perfect.

what is the size of your image? add block_device_allocate_retries=6000 to nova.conf

Its the default Cirros that I tried.

  1. check the core service is running by typing command " netstat -an | grep LISTENING". In the controller node,it should contains listening port 8778(placement_api service), 8774(compute-service),9292(Image service),9696(network),5000(Identify service),5672(rabbitmq server), 11211( memcache server),35357(Identify service)

    2.confirm that you have enough resources to allocate your instance, if enough resource available, then the issue comes from networking (neutron) and not from Nova itself. (Trace neutron logs for "PortBindingFailed")

    3.check your host's hardware supports virtualization or not by issuing "virt-host-validate",if fails change to virt_type to qemu

1) None of these ports are listed in the response. But I have created all the services and their endpoints and I can access all of them on the browser.

2) Yes I have enough resources.

3) My hardware does support virtualization. But nonetheless I have kept virt_type to qemu.

Your Neutron log contains 

2018-11-26 12:49:11.524 2261 ERROR neutron.plugins.ml2.managers [req-8702d340-da32-4e78-8f47-7f67294a131e ab6ad8a6ab9b4eff85e0438de6cbf1a7 2b35c39f3f744ea18aee07c8f2d4124e - default default] Failed to bind port 93122ccb-bcea-46ca-9e6e-a16f968406f4 on host computestack for vnic_type normal using segments [{'network_id': 'b7a8108c-63b5-4c67-9960-07c1cf8b9ca0', 'segmentation_id': None, 'physical_network': u'eth0', 'id': '90e498d9-8a43-4509-8da5-2bb6145f0615', 'network_type': u'flat'}]

Note the physical_network: It's called eth0.

In both Linuxbridge configs, however, you have 

physical_interface_mappings = provider:eth1

Here, the physical network is named provider.

When you created the external network, you should have used option --provider-physical-network provider, not --provider-physical-network eth0. I wonder, by the way, why Neutron allowed you to use an invalid provider network name. Perhaps I miss something.

In this explanation: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/rocky/install/controller-install-option1-ubuntu.html (https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/ro...) The linux bridge is supposed to be :physical_interface_mappings = provider:PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME . And according to my setup management interface = eth0 and provider interface = eth1.

star5 gravatar imagestar5 ( 2018-11-28 10:19:30 -0500 )edit

What I am trying to do is to get two clouds setup and their instances communicate with each other. I don't know what network type should I setup: Networking option 1 or networking option 2 mentioned here (https://docs.openstack.org/install-guide/overview.html (https://docs.openstack.org/install-gu...)) ??

star5 gravatar imagestar5 ( 2018-11-28 10:21:34 -0500 )edit

Both options work, but both options require correct setup of the external network.

Bernd Bausch gravatar imageBernd Bausch ( 2018-11-28 10:26:46 -0500 )edit

Should I be creating a bridge between the NICs before setting up neutron on the controller and compute. I am trying a fresh install again.

star5 gravatar imagestar5 ( 2018-11-29 01:07:51 -0500 )edit

No. The installation guide assumes two separate networks. You configure one as the provider network to give instances access to the world outside of the cloud. In your case that seems to be eth1.
