Hi there,

currently we are trying to run Openstack Stein on multiple RaspberryPis and RockPis. The goal is to make some performance tests on Load Balancing, High Availability and Real-Time Capabilities.

Current Set-Up:

1 Rock Pi (Ubuntu Server 18.04): Keystone, Horizon, Glance, Nova(-Server)

3 Raspberry Pi Model 3 (Ubuntu Server 18.04 and Raspbian): Nova-Compute

The implementation of the RockPi as Controller Node was successfull. We were able to connect it to a Nova-Compute Node running for test purpose in a VirtualBox and start a VM via the Dashboard. The Management network is realized with VLAN. The public interface is the normal eth0 interface without VLAN Tag.

Now we wanted to implement the Nova-Compute Node on a RaspberryPi, but got stuck there: The installation of nova-compute was successfull. nova-compute and libvirt services are running. The problem is the initial connection of controller node with the compute node. As far as logs showed us, the compute node is telling the controller node its HW capabilites, but after that a TIMEOUT occures on the compute node (see logfile as picture). We think that there is a service/module/appliction not running correctly where the compute node does not answer correctly on a message of the controller. We analyzed some IP Traffic between a) controller - compute (on Virtualbox) which was successfull and b) controller - compute (RaspberryPi) which wasn't successfull.

The Log file:
