I installed Diablo on RHEL6.0. All of the services start correctly. However, the create network command fails.

Why is OpenStack not seeing ifcfg-br100 and failing to create a network?

$nova-manage network create 192.168.0.0/24 1 256 Command failed, please check log for info The nova-manage.log reads:
nova: --bridge interface is required to create a network

However, when I look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, I see ifcfg-br100, ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1

$sudo service network restart Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth1: [ OK ] Bringing up interface br100: [ OK ]

ifcfg-br100

THANK YOU both Yaguang and Vish for replying. I tried both of your suggestions, but I'm still seeing the same error in the log. Any more suggestions?

Vish, I added the line below and restarted all of the nova services. --flat_network_bridge=br100 to my nova.conf file below.

The error message is incorrect. I attached the bug for this.

My mistake was having VlanManager.

--network_manager=nova.network.manager.VlanManager

This fixed the problem: --network_manager=nova.network.manager.FlatManager --flat_network_bridge=br100

you may need to add a param such as nova-manage network create mynet 192.168.0.0/24 1 256

You need to specify bridge interface or set the flag --flat_network_interface It doesn't default to br100 anymore. On Oct 12, 2011 5:30 PM, "Rob Neff" question174086@answers.launchpad.net wrote:

I added the following which gave me the same error.

--flat_network_interface=br100 --bridge_interface=br100

Added the following and was able to create networks:

--vlan_interface=eth1

From page 60 of os-compute-adminguide-cactus.pdf section 7.3.3 states:

Please note that currently eth0 is hardcoded as the vlan_interface in the default flags. If you need to attach your bridges to a device other than eth0, you will need to add following flag to /etc/nova/nova.conf: --vlan_interface=eth1

can anyone else verify their br100 bridge is to interface eth1? This error is ambiguous overall.
