multi node instance failure

Hi,

I've 6 machines I want to run OpenStack on. I'm planning on one controller, and the rest nodes.

I've configured the controller to run instances locally, using ubuntu1010-UEC-localuser-image.tar.gz, and I'm able to ping and SSH to them, etc. Yay :D The joy.

I then add a compute node. I'm manually installing parts to get a feel for what's happening. Here's what I do:-

$ sudo apt-get install python-software-properties $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nova-core/trunk $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install -y nova-common nova-compute python-mysqldb python-suds vlan

I'll then scp nova.conf from the controller to the node, and restart all services on all machines, after nova-manage db sync on the controller. I don't edit network/interfaces for br100 as I'm running VlanManager, this could be a mistake. The node will then appear in the services table.

When I attempt to run instances, and when they're scheduled for on the additional nodes the instances always fail. Here are 2 log files, from 2 nodes I've tried to configure:-

There are probably a couple of issues here. One is that you will need to use glance so that that the other node can grab images. You also may have issues with kvm module and permissions:

sudo modprobe kvm sudo chgroup kvm /dev/kvm sudo chmod g+w /dev/kvm

I've tested a qemu image on both nodes, and was able to execute a VM. I'm still receiving exactly the same errors in nova-compute log when trying to launch OpenStack instances though.

I'll look into setting up Glance, to see what effect that has on my experience. Are there any guides to set up Glance?

I tried to install an additional 2 node, just to see what sort of results I got. I'm starting to see a pattern now:-

Okay, I've had some success. I'm able to create instances on all nodes, only I'm not able to ping them. I was able to do this by copying /var/lib/nova/instances/_base/ from the controller to the node.

Additionally, I'm not able to ping any instance from the 2nd node.

I'd like to know if creating instances across multiple nodes requires setting up, past what's told in this guide:-

http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-compute/admin/content/ch01.html (http://docs.openstack.org/openstack-c...)

I can create a single node, that's able to create instances, as mentioned above, but not onto additional nodes. Is the guide above missing anything I need to know to accomplish this?

I had started looking into Glance, as that's what similar questions have been resolved with. But, since reading about Glance, I'm now understanding I should be able to use nova's own object-store.

At the very least, is there a simple guide to create a multi-node cloud, that I can learn from?

This evening I managed to get instances on on controller/node and a standalone node, and was able to communicate with them.

I've tweaked many different parts so I'm not entirely sure what combination finally worked. I have tried to install another node, and that failed, I think this is because of missing /var/lib/nova/instances/_base/ files. I'll look into this.

So here's nova.conf

--dhcpbridge_flagfile=/etc/nova/nova.conf
--dhcpbridge=/usr/bin/nova-dhcpbridge
--logdir=/var/log/nova
--state_path=/var/lib/nova
--lock_path=/var/lock/nova
--verbose
--sql_connection=mysql://root:88bombs4@192.168.99.11/nova --s3_host=192.168.99.11
--rabbit_host=192.168.99.11
--cc_host=192.168.99.11
--ec2_url=http://192.168.99.11:8773/services/Cloud
--network_manager=nova.network.manager.FlatDHCPManager
--flat_interface=eth0
--fixed_range=10.0.0.0/12
--network_size=32
--quota_instances=100

...and /etc/network/interfaces

The loopback network interface

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Other than that, I just followed this guide http://www.dubsquared.com . I can't yet connect to the instances publicly so that'll be my next task.

I got similar message. T.T I use XCP(xenServer community version) as hypervisor. Some has the answer?
