Am installing Openstack mitaka (single Ubuntu 14 vm - all in one controller with neutron linuxbridge) deploying through the ansible playbooks. Once the deployment is completed am able to see the services (nova, neutron etc )are active. But when i try to launch an instance, vm is getting to ERROR state. The nova-compute logs shows error as follows:

Phew, finally figured out my ansible playbook configured the nova-compute.conf with virt_type=kvm. I changed it to virt_type=qemu. The nova-compute.conf file was now as below.

[DEFAULT]
compute_driver=libvirt.LibvirtDriver
[libvirt]
virt_type = qemu

After restarting libvirt-bin and nova-compute services, the provisioned instances were active !!

Does your VIRTHOST && ubuntu guest allow nested KVM ? It's pretty much standard thing when both VIRTHOST and Guest are coming from RH. I mean nested KVM does improve performance on Guest. For instance on TripleO QuickStart heat deployment of "overcloud" stack will most likely fail on undercloud.

Hi dbaxps, Thanks for your response. In my case, I have Dell Server hardware with hypervisor as XenServer installed on it. And then i've my Ubuntu14 guest VM on which am deploying OpenStack mitaka via ansible playbooks.

So in the guest VM, for virt_type = kvm throws me an error during booting an openstack instance. When its modified to qemu, it supports next level for virtual machines.

How did you change the ansible playbook? Where was the playbook located? I am getting the smae error and I think I may be having the same problem. I deploy using kolla-ansible
