How to troubleshoot an instance stuck on 'BUILD'?
Greetings! I'm running through the 'Openstack Installation Guide for Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS)'. I've attempted to launch an instance on the setup and it seems to be stuck on status 'BUILD'.
On the compute node in /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log I find:
2014-03-25 14:28:32.614 2096 AUDIT nova.compute.manager [req-58413990-f719-4645-9ddc-7040aa15e276 a4ce64aa1c994b709cdcfc4c6512d4ee 73cea9b8c27845f185c90168f3ab786a] [instance: 01b2b53f-e0ee-4980-9b72-fc5c351190a7] Starting instance...
I've looked through all the other logs on the compute node, and several of the logs on the controller as well, but I don't see any errors; it seems to be largely silent.
Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this and narrow down possible causes?
It may be useful to mention that I'm installing on an Ubuntu Trusty server daily build, with the openstack packages from the trusty repo, so what will soon be Icehouse I suppose.
I guess you need to enable debug logs in nova-compute (and restart service) to get an any clues regarding where compute is getting blocked!
