nova-compute does not start

Hello there,

I'm installing a new openstack environment on Centos 7, following the instructions from this guide: http://docs.openstack.org/juno/install-guide/install/yum/content/ (http://docs.openstack.org/juno/instal...)

I installed the controller node services (mariadb, rabbitmq, keystone, glance and nova, except nova-compute) on a VM and had no issues. Everything is working as described by the install guide.

But I'm having problems with the nova-compute service starting on the compute node, which runs on a real server also with Centos 7. I followed the instructions in the guide (here: http://docs.openstack.org/juno/install-guide/install/yum/content/ch_nova.html#nova-compute-install (http://docs.openstack.org/juno/instal...) ) but the service fails to start. I enabled debug mode but I don't see any obvious errors in the log either.

I've tried running manually, and this is what I get:

[root@cha-bl465-06:(cha-bl465-06) ~]# /usr/bin/nova-compute --debug --config-file /etc/nova/nova.conf --log-file /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log

It seems to connect fine to the rabbitmq service in the controller but then it just hangs there...

Any help will be much appreciated.

What do you mean, "it just hangs there"? What do you expect it to do? Until an instance is scheduled on that host, nothing else is going to happen. That looks like a successful start.

I expected to see it listed when I run nova service-list in the controller, but I only see the 4 services running in the controller (nova-consoleauth, nova-cert, nova-scheduler, nova-conductor)

Issue solved. This was caused because the /var filesystem in the controller node dropped below 1GB and rabbitmq blocked publishers:

from the rabbitmq logs:

=INFO REPORT==== 12-Nov-2014::15:14:32 ===
Disk free space insufficient. Free bytes:696029184 Limit:1000000000

=WARNING REPORT==== 12-Nov-2014::15:14:32 ===
disk resource limit alarm set on node 'rabbit@cha-ops-xen-v04'.

**********************************************************
*** Publishers will be blocked until this alarm clears ***
**********************************************************

After I increased space in that partition and re-started services I now see the nova-compute service listed in the controller.

Cool.. If I understood you correctly you are unable to start the service using service openstack-nova-compute start right? But manually you are able to connect to AMQP on RabbitMQ.

That is fine. Run manually and try to boot an instance. See if everything goes well or not? And also let us know what is the error you are getting while executing service openstack-nova-compute restart command.

With systemctl I get:

[root@cha-bl465-06:(cha-bl465-06) ~]# systemctl start openstack-nova-compute.service Job for openstack-nova-compute.service failed. See 'systemctl status openstack-nova-compute.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. [root@cha-bl465-06:(cha-bl465-06) ~]#

And when I run it manually, it connects to rabbit-mq, but I expected it to show when I do nova service-list, as described in the documentation.

Even i'm facing the same error. It does not appear on the controller node. But when i check the status of compute-nova status on the compute node, it says it is running. How do we solve that?

I have just solve that problem(devstack) .

In my environment the problem related with pip. If you ask me why i don't have any idea why it's happened. I don't know

While installing devstack it's download pip for us from repositories of CentOS or Ubuntu for python-pip package. After 15 day I realised that pip version couldn't download xmlrpc_client and few packages from pip repository

To solve this problem download
1. delete your pip if you download how ever you download

apt-get remove python-pip #or yum version of that code

2. List item

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py 
python get-pip.py

3. uninstall your six package which you download before

pip uninstall six 
easy_install six

than ./unstack.sh and ./stack.sh

and Don't forget!! to watch you RAM by using free command while installing, because there are few problem about RAM it's hard to understand if problem occurs about RAM. I needed 6GB RAM for all install
