Hi there,

I have installed icehouse on CentOS 6.5 and now trying create an instance but encounter this error:

I have added new logs from api.log and compute.log - please see if it rings any bells?

I've been having this issue for about a week now. I'm going to try the suggestion below.

Hi, Thanks for the update we have been able to launch instance with the change "vfi" parameter in nova.conf in both controller and compute nodes.

I fixed the problem by updating neutron.conf at controller to include neutron-nova interactions config which is missing at Open vSwitch OVS plugin - configure controller node

# openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/neutron.conf DEFAULT \
  notify_nova_on_port_status_changes True
# openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/neutron.conf DEFAULT \
  notify_nova_on_port_data_changes True
# openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/neutron.conf DEFAULT \
  nova_url http://controller:8774/v2
# openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/neutron.conf DEFAULT \
  nova_admin_username nova
# openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/neutron.conf DEFAULT \
  nova_admin_tenant_id SERVICE_TENANT_ID
# openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/neutron.conf DEFAULT \
  nova_admin_password NOVA_PASS
# openstack-config --set /etc/neutron/neutron.conf DEFAULT \
  nova_admin_auth_url http://controller:35357/v2.0

After adding these, the problem went away. Thanks for the hint!

This worked for me as well. The only difference is that I am using a packstack --allinone configuration and I needed to use values from my keystonerc_admin file for the auth stuff. thanks!

This didn't work for me, any other solutions?

I have solved my similar situation by adding vif plugin entries in the nova.conf under [DEFAULT] section

vif_plugging_is_fatal: false

vif_plugging_timeout: 0

Hope this helps

Making this change worked for me. Be sure to make this change on all hosts.

Using Neutron GRE with ML2,

Still having this issue after applying the two suggested fixes to both the compute node and the controller. Timing out after Neutron creates the port and attaches it to the instance, but fails to notify Nova that the port has been attached.

server.log:2014-07-30 08:50:11.711 26001 ERROR neutron.notifiers.nova [-] Failed to notify nova on events: [{'status': 'completed', 'tag': u'ad5184bc-aa95-4fd9-bc3a-37a37a943bfa', 'name': 'network-vif-unplugged', 'server_uuid': u'43854901-28f6-47a5-9720-6a464d2f4c3f'}]

Which of these is the right port?

Authorization URL for connection to nova in admin context. nova_admin_auth_url = http://135.21.103.72:5000/v2.0

or,

Authorization URL for connection to nova in admin context. nova_admin_auth_url = http://135.21.103.72:35357/v2.0

My problem was not solved even after neutron.conf entries.

Then after adding these vif plugin entries in the nova.conf under [DEFAULT] section

vif_plugging_is_fatal: false

vif_plugging_timeout: 0

My problem was solved.

I think you have to configure a new part of neutron.conf file. It's relative to comunication beetwen neutron and nova. Nova now implementa a new api https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/admin-event-callback-api (EventAPI).

Hi there, are you able to tell me specifically where in new neutron.conf?
