I am getting error like this "Could not retrieve public key from instance metadata (attempt #2/30), retrying in 5 seconds..." in instance console log. I am running multi host setup (1 controller node, 1 compute node and 1 network node). Have configured metadata host and port configured to talk to metadata server running in controller node. When I run "curl http://169.254.169.254/openstack%22 (http://169.254.169.254/openstack") in compute node - getting 404 not found error. From the VM instance that launches, couldn't ping "169.254.169.254". Except few common settings - different article on the net talk about different settings - tried many of whatever referred, no luck. Running Havana with Neutron.

Any pointers to solve accessing instance thru key authentication - appreciate.

Thanks, Mani

You are not supposed to be able ping "169.254.169.254" from VM

Can you run inside VM ( a kind of ) ?

I got no output for the grep port_number command mentioned above.

From within the VM launched,

[root@host-10-10-10-103 ~]# curl http://169.254.169.254/openstack/latest/meta_data.json | tee meta_data.json

curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

Manikantan ( 2014-04-16 13:09:44 -0500 )edit

Please, format your output or place carriage return at the end of line. port_number should be 8775
ip netns exec qrouter-ca917764-ce9e-425b-a958-a811025c6ea3 netstat -lntp | grep 8775
ip netns exec qrouter-547e7f37-c854-4dcc-bdac-c67cdc5dfe83 netstat -lntp | grep 8775
netstat -lntp | grep 8775

Able to launch instance successfully and login using Key Authentication. Able to see in instance log that it imports the key we provided during launching.

Are there any where OS images with Cloud-init package installed - can be downloaded? Or some steps on how to install cloud-init on the OS image we download from the internet?

Thanks, Mani

Have configured metadata host and port configured to talk to metadata server running in controller node.

Could you run on this host commands like bellow :-
[root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$ neutron router-list
+--------------------------------------+---------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| id                                   | name    | external_gateway_info                                                       |
+--------------------------------------+---------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 86b3008c-297f-4301-9bdc-766b839785f1 | router2 | {"network_id": "780ce2f3-2e6e-4881-bbac-857813f9a8e0", "enable_snat": true} |
| bf360d81-79fb-4636-8241-0a843f228fc8 | router1 | {"network_id": "780ce2f3-2e6e-4881-bbac-857813f9a8e0", "enable_snat": true} |
+--------------------------------------+---------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$ ip netns list | grep 86b3008c-297f-4301-9bdc-766b839785f1
qrouter-86b3008c-297f-4301-9bdc-766b839785f1
[root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$ ip netns list | grep bf360d81-79fb-4636-8241-0a843f228fc8
qrouter-bf360d81-79fb-4636-8241-0a843f228fc8
[root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$  ip netns exec qrouter-86b3008c-297f-4301-9bdc-766b839785f1  iptables -L -t nat | grep 169
[root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$  ip netns exec qrouter-bf360d81-79fb-4636-8241-0a843f228fc8  iptables -L -t nat | grep 169

If you will get some port_number, my next question is following outputs ( for ever routers namespace and on Controller)

[root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$ ip netns exec qrouter-86b3008c-297f-4301-9bdc-766b839785f1  netstat -lntp | grep port_number
[root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$ ip netns exec qrouter-bf360d81-79fb-4636-8241-0a843f228fc8  netstat -lntp | grep port_number
root@dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$ netstat -lntp | grep port_number

Launched an Ubuntu instance from Openstack and logged into it using password authentication. When tried : [root@host-10-10-10-102 ~]# curl http://169.254.169.254 curl: (7) couldn't connect to host

169.254.169.254 is pinging since I have added route entry (ip route add 169.254.169.254/32 via 10.10.10.1). Still CURL given above returns can't find host. Can anyone update how to approach this problem? Thanks,Mani
