Re: Instance can't reach dhcp or metadata

 

Hi Mandar,

The whole "default" stuff is a common point of confusion with
QuantumManager, and something we're planning on getting rid of in Folsom.
 For Essex, I've explained the details below.

I suspect you are spinning up VMs using the "demo" tenant, but unless you
have modified your stack.sh, when you create a network using nova-manage,
no "--project_id" flag is specified.  Hence, from a Quantum perspective
that network does not have a tenant, making this a "global" network, which
is owned by a tenant named "default" (this string can be changed using the
quantum_default_tenant_id flag in nova).  For more details on creating
quantum networks with nova-manage, see:
http://docs.openstack.org/incubation/openstack-network/admin/content/Net-Create-dle455.html

This is not actually incorrect, given the logic above, though I admit it is
confusing.  This was really just to provide backward compatibility with old
nova-manage calls that did not specify a project.  In Folsom, we're
planning on requiring a tenant for all Quantum network creation.

Yes, quantum + nova-ipam is a much more tested path.  I suspect you are
just running into the bug I mention below and that your quantum + melange
setup would work once you have that patch in, but I don't know of anyone
using Melange + DHCP in a real deployment, so I wouldn't be surprised if
there were more issues lurking.
