|
2019-02-20 03:19:41 -0600 | commented question | Unable to associate floating IP Is this address, 106.51.76.7, your public address? If so, you are done for that one VM. If not, add your public address to the external subnet. |
2019-02-20 03:18:08 -0600 | commented question | Unable to associate floating IP Have a look at the external subnet. The allocation pools parameter gives you exactly one address. This means you can only run one VM on that network, then the address space is exhausted. I suppose no router can be attached for the same reason. |
2019-02-19 09:12:16 -0600 | commented question | Unable to associate floating IP Did you connect the VM to the external network? If so, you can’t associate floating IPs with it. You don’t need to, either, since the VM’s address is already an external one. Is there no other network connected to the router? |
2019-02-19 09:09:03 -0600 | edited question | Unable to associate floating IP I have one public IP which I need to use to connect to a VM in OpenStack. I have created a network (external), subnet (with gateway and floating IP range) and a router too, which is connected with this subnet. But then when I try to associate this floating IP to an instance, it shows me no ports available. And when I go to interfaces in the router, this is shown:
Not sure how to resolve. Can someone please help me at the earliest please. Edit 1: openstack network show ext_net openstack router show ext_router openstack subnet show ext_subnet |
2019-02-19 09:07:48 -0600 | commented question | Error status when creating volume I urge you to learn the fundamentals of Linux first. LVM is part of that. As to your problem, I would like to know the details of your Cinder backend. Also, the output of the lsblk command on the server where you tried pvs and vgs. |
2019-02-19 04:09:06 -0600 | commented question | Unable to associate floating IP If the router interface has the same IP as the VM, this can’t work. By “details” I meant the output of openstack network show, router show and subnet show. You can edit it into your question. |
2019-02-19 04:04:05 -0600 | commented question | Error status when creating volume If you don’t know what is LVM, you should not manage an OpenStack cloud. LVM is the logical volume manager; the vgs and pvs commands belong to it. |
2019-02-18 08:46:52 -0600 | answered a question | Do I need to have a separate server for cinder-volume if ceph is used? Of course cinder-volume adds some load, so in principle it does affect the controllers' performance. Probably not in a measurable way though. You don't need to run cinder-volume on separate servers or VMs when your only Cinder backend is Ceph. |
2019-02-18 00:48:37 -0600 | commented answer | Network configuration The only setting that is relevant to networking is the last one. Packstack won't set up any tenant router or network. You have to do that manually. Can you share your network and router details? You can edit them into the question. |
2019-02-16 16:47:44 -0600 | commented question | Unable to associate floating IP Did you create this cloud? If so, how? Can you show the details of your networks, subnets and routers? What precise command or GUI options do you use to associate the floating IP, and what is the precise error message? |
2019-02-16 16:19:00 -0600 | commented answer | Network configuration All I know is https://www.rdoproject.org/install/pa.... How about sharing the answerfile variables that you modified? |
2019-02-16 06:42:49 -0600 | commented question | Snapshots taking long time The nova api log helps you to find the request ID of the snapshot API. It starts with req- and is followed by a hex string. Find the request ID in Nova logs to get more info. |
2019-02-16 03:55:44 -0600 | commented answer | Network configuration could it be that you misconfigured the network? |
2019-02-16 01:16:39 -0600 | commented answer | Network configuration No need for setting up bridges or anything else, just run the packstack command and you should be able to reach the instances via their floating IPs. If not, the setup was not correct. Did you create a default Packstack cloud or did you specify parameters or an answer file? |
2019-02-16 01:14:06 -0600 | commented answer | I am in Education Field, Theoritically i know cloud computing. I have to learn and teach Cloud implementation to masters student from April 2019. So, please guide me from scratch for starting openstack. Which OS to use and other software, language and tools i need to learn? Devstack runs well in a 8GB VM, too. Packstack as well. Both are automatic methods for setting up a functioning cloud that you can then experiment with. Probably not bad advice at all, although you get a deeper understanding from the installation tutorials. |

So, please guide me from scratch for starting openstack. Which OS to use and other software, language and tools i need to learn? I was in a similar situation 5 years ago, although I had more time. Learning this in two months is a challenge. On the other hand, OpenStack was my first exposure to cloud computing. You need to have a good grasp of Linux system administration. The usual platforms for installing OpenStack are RHEL/Centos, Ubuntu or SLES/OpenSuse. Pick one. A good basis of Networking and Virtualization is strongly recommended. Reading Python programs and knowing how to print log messages will help but is not mandatory in my opinion. Everybody learns in a different way. I started reading the documentation, but every sentence contained at least two terms that I had not heard of before. So I went practical and followed the installation tutorial. It took me three days or so until my toy cloud was functional. This was hard work but forced me to learn. I suggest you find a Linux box (e.g. a laptop with 16GB main memory, if possible an SSD), use KVM to create two virtual machines that you will install with one of the above operating systems, then follow the tutorial. |
2019-02-15 15:59:06 -0600 | commented answer | How to install software in openstack vm instance using scripts? I did. See the blue text in my answer. |
2019-02-15 07:48:55 -0600 | answered a question | Network configuration If you mean the Packstack host by "host OS", no particular setup is required. By default, Packstack creates a fake "external" network with an address of 172.24.4.0/28 (not sure about the 28) to which a route from the host exists. |
2019-02-15 07:45:49 -0600 | commented answer | How to install software in openstack vm instance using scripts? Or if you need to install the software after the instance has booted for the first time, you could do something like |
2019-02-15 07:44:49 -0600 | commented answer | How to install software in openstack vm instance using scripts? cloud-init runs when the instance boots for the first time. The user's mouse click could generate a YAML file which describes cloud-init's actions, and which you then use when launching the instance. Would this work for you? |
2019-02-15 03:13:45 -0600 | answered a question | How to install software in openstack vm instance using scripts? That depends on your scripts. You could copy the scripts to the instance, log on to the instance and run the scripts. Alternatively, you can use cloud-init to install software when the instance starts. To do this, write a cloud-init file and submit it to the instance using the --user-data option of the openstack server create command. See also the cloud-init documentation. Of course, you can also use tools like Ansible or Puppet, but in my opinion the cloud-init option is the best for your requirement. |
2019-02-14 07:57:43 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance All I know is the page that lists the API calls. I have never used the OpenStack SDK. Perhaps in this case the principle is "the code is the documentation". |
2019-02-13 12:13:50 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance How about create_server_image? |
2019-02-13 09:46:46 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance I have the feeling that you are thoroughly confused though. Or I am confused by you. What do you want to achieve? To log on, use ssh -i keyfile ubuntu@ip-address. If that doesn't work, perhaps you did not provide the key-name parameter when launching the instance. |
2019-02-13 09:45:22 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance you can give an instance any hostname you like. Log on to the instance and use the hostname command. To make the change permanent, most Linux distros keep the hostname in /etc/hostname, which you will have to edit. |
2019-02-13 08:18:55 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance ubuntuis the default account configured on ubuntu cloud images. See https://docs.openstack.org/image-guid.... ssh ubuntu@ip-address accesses the instance that has this IP address. |
2019-02-13 06:17:28 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance instance_name should be the name of an account configured on this instance. It should not be the name of an instance. I wanted to know which parameters you used to launch the instance. Did you launch it with the correct keypair? |
2019-02-13 04:34:38 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance How did you create the instance? |
2019-02-12 15:39:43 -0600 | commented question | Make an exact copy of a created OpenStack instance As Deepa says. openstack server image create, then launch an instance from the image. |
2019-02-12 08:30:17 -0600 | commented question | Error status when creating volume What do you mean by "no response" - do you get a prompt back, or does the command hang? |
2019-02-12 08:29:23 -0600 | commented question | Error status when creating volume If the volume is in error status, check the Cinder log files for detailed information. If you use LVM as a Cinder backend, and the vgs and pvs commands don't respond, it is not surprising that the volume can't be created. You should start by troubleshooting LVM. |
2019-02-12 04:31:31 -0600 | commented answer | virtual machine priority The first one implements resource limits for VMs running on ESX, the second one changes the parameters used to configure the RAM, CPU and disk overbooking of compute hosts. They don’t look like they help with your requirement. |
2019-02-12 04:28:02 -0600 | commented question | cirros instance can't connect to Internet One thing looks wrong. Your answer file sets up the ML2 and the OVN plugins. Only one core plugin is possible. Try removing the OVN settings. |
2019-02-12 04:26:52 -0600 | commented question | cirros instance can't connect to Internet To summarize: You can ping the instance via its floating IP, but you can’t ping out from it. The instance is connected to a tenant network which a router connects to the external network. It can ping the router at 172.24.4.1. Correct? |
2019-02-12 00:19:06 -0600 | commented question | cirros instance can't connect to Internet This setting associates Neutron's external network to br-ex. However, I don't understand how you can access the instance via its floating ip under these circumstances. |
