Hi nico,

This may be related to another thread currently on the ML about multi-node
devstack.

There seems to be a bug in multi-node devstack that if you do not specify
"rabbit" as one of the enabled services on each compute node, the
nova-compute on the compute node tries to contact the rabbit server on
localhost, rather than on the IP specified by RABBIT_HOST.

If the compute nodes are not correctly connecting to rabbit, I believe the
scheduler would not be able to notify those servers to create VMs, which
*may* explain why your instances are getting stuck in scheduling. Looking
at the nova-compute log on your compute hosts could probably help determine
if this is the issue, as there would be errors due to the failure to
connect to rabbit. Putting "rabbit" in the set of ENABLED_SERVICES on all
nodes seems to have worked for me as a work around.

I posted a question to the devstack team about this:
