Instances will not boot

I had to move a rack to a new IP structure and now instances will not boot. I terminated all old instances as they were useless and test anyway. Tried to boot new instances and nova keeps telling me it cannot find the file for the instance? The file gets created, the instance get all the information, and it takes 10-15 minutes to fail. Have checked all IP multiple times, including keystone endpoints. This is what I get:

Thanks

I'm not clear: are you saying that /var/lib/nova/instances/420926e7-f1f8-4d82-ad93-29de9aca7f77/disk actually exists on the filesystem? If so, it it (and everything under /var/lib/nova) owned by the "nova" user?

That file did exist, I am sure after researching other places that one may have been a UUID conflict. So, I tried again and get a more fruitful result...still fails, but more informative errors (to Python folks anyway).. 2013-12-19 11:43:09.980 ERROR nova.compute.manager [req-68352c27-536d-41ac-95ba-496cf199cf26 7f034b093c9540da9887ec2f147108f3 f70b99e9536a472d881470355164e22b] [instanc e: 8f36f1c6-288d-459c-b0ca-74e498561a90] Instance failed to spawn 2013-12-19 11:43:09.980 1525 TRACE nova.compute.manager [instance: 8f36f1c6-288d-459c-b0ca-74e498561a90] Traceback (most recent call last): 2013-12-19 11:43:09.980 1525 TRACE nova.compute.manager [instance: 8f36f1c6-288d-459c-b0ca-74e498561a90] File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/compute/manager.p y", line 1119, in _spawn 2013-12-19 11:43:09.980 1525 TRACE nova.compute.manager [instance: 8f36f1c6-288d-459c-b0ca-74e498561a90] block_device_info) 2013-12-19 11:43:09.980 1525 TRACE nova.compute.manager [instance: 8f36f1c6-288

Is `libvirtd` running on your compute node (can you run "virsh list" on the compute node without errors)? Are you certain that your compute node has sufficient memory for what you're trying to do? Lack of memory can often manifest in strange ways with unhelpful error messages.

This is not an answer, but more information and the code is more readable here then in comments:

In general it's a better idea to update your question rather than to post updates like this as an answer.

Thanks, and I will do that from now on.
