Took out q-dhcp from controller (recall seeing it mentioned as being needed on controller, but not the compute nodes). Regardless, didn't seem to make a difference.

I then did a ps | grep ovs_quantum_agent. Was running on the controller and not the compute node.

I tried copy and pasting the command line, e.g.:

sudo python /opt/stack/quantum/quantum/plugins/openvswitch/agent/ovs_quantum_agent.py --config-file /etc/quantum/quantum.conf --config-file /etc/quantum/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini

and it complained about missing files in /etc/quantum, so I copied and restarted the above agent. Went back to the controller, fired up horizon, and basically nothing changed.

(was copy and pasting the command line the right thing to do?)
(I didn't see any changes to make in the files copied from /etc/quantum, a few lines referenced the IP of the controller node, but I didn't change them).

If 1) this process needed to be running and it wasn't and 2) the requisite files were missing in /etc/quantum, one cannot be surprised that other issues still exist on the controller node. Unless something obvious comes to mind, I'd rather not spin my wheels on V1 if you convince me that the V2 instructions you pointed me at are the way to go for multi-node setup, and things are stable enough for me to want to do so (I am not deploying anything, just doing some initial research into quantum and openstack, so no animals will be harmed in making this movie :-).

I think what I might do (unless you have other things I should look at, and thank you so much for the help so far), is wipe both nodes, reinstall Ubuntu 12.04, and see if I can make the V2 instructions for multi-node work. I think you guys are more interested in me playing there anyway, right? Before I do that, is horizon supported (the instructions for V2 didn't mention horizon, give an example of spinning up a VM from the command line)? I'd be happy to use command line but want to know what to expect).

By the way, a week ago (before I got some hardware) I was able to spin up a quantum-based, qemu-backed single node deployment inside an Ubuntu VM hosted on VMware ESX. That's was pretty mind-blowing :) I can't wait for my mind to be blown when this multi-node setup works for me, so thanks again for the help.

Hi Syd,

Oops I didn't see you had q-dhcp set. You should disable this unless you are trying to use  quantum with the v2 api (I.E: NOVA_USE_QUANTUM_API=v2).

My guess would be that something is wrong with the tunnels which is why DHCP isn't working. Can you confirm that ovs_quantum_agent is running on all your nodes?

Thanks,

Aaron

Aaron,

+1 for the quick response! Below I've pasted in the *plugin.ini files.
+1 also for the link to the v2 api page - I'll take a look (while you respond to this e-mail :).

If in fact the bridge interface is not the issue (thanks for clarifying), I guess the question is what generally would keep a VM from being able to acquire an IP address via DHCP? I've read posts that clarify that q_dhcp is not used for this purpose, so we don't have to go down that path. Looks like the VM is unable to get out on the proper net to do its DHCP (which looks to be achieved via google's public DHCP server (see https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using)<https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using%29>). Guessed (wrongly it appears) that the gw bridge was created to provide that ability.

Subject: Re: [Openstack] Configuring with devstack for multiple hardware nodes

Hi Syd,

There should not be an additional gateway interface on the compute nodes, only the node that has n-net in ENABLED_SERVICES. I'm assuming you want to use the OVSQuantumPlugin? Can you also attach /etc/quantum/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini from your two nodes?  Also if you are interested in trying out the folsom quantum code the following link should help you get running: http://wiki.openstack.org/RunningQuantumV2Api

Hi,

I just posted the following at http://forums.openstack.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1435, then realized this mailing list might be a better place to ask the question.

In summary, I've cobbled together devstack-based nodes to exercise quantum/openvswitch (when I say cobbled, I mean my result is the combination of information from wiki and from devstack, and elsewhere to create my localrc files, since there is no one definitive template that I could use, and it seems that devstack examples are not current with what is happening on Folsom). One node is a controller, one is a compute node. I can launch using horizon on the controller, VMs launched on the controller are pingable, but ones launched on the compute node are not. The big difference I can see is a missing gateway interface on the controller (on gw-* displayed when I run ifconfig). By inspection of the logs, I can see that the VMs are unable to establish a network, and I think the missing gateway interface may be the root cause for that.

Below are details:

Two hosts, one configured as a controller, the other configured as a compute node.
Each host is dual homed, network for eth0 is connected to the local intranet, network for eth1 is configured as a local net 192.168.3.0
On the controller host, I used devstack with the following localrc (which is an aggregation of stuff I found on the devstack site, and stuff I found recently on the quantum wiki -- it would be nice if complete templates for a controller and compute node supporting devstack and openvswitch were published on the devstack site or the wiki, perhaps since we are not yet at Folsom it makes sense they don't exist, if I get something working, I will share my configuration in the entirety at whatever is the most appropriate place). Anyway, controller host localrc is:

If I run horizon, I can launch vms and ping them. If I look at the logs generated by the VMs, they are able to get a network. Furthermore, I get the following network interface in addition to the tap interfaces generated for each VM:

I can spin up VMs on this host (usually, when I run horizon on the controller, it is this host upon which the first VM is launched). I get expected IP address in the range 10.4.128.*

Unlike VMs on the host, I cannot ping (from either the controller (less worrisome) or the compute node (very worrisome). I looked at the console log for the VM, it is not getting any network. The other major obvious difference is that there is no inteface gateway device when I do an ifconfig on the compute node.

It is this last point (the lack of a interface gateway) that seems most likely to me to be the issue. Is there something I can run after launching devstack on the controller, before I try to launch VMs, that will cause that gw to be created?

I did some tracebacks in the python code on the controller and it appears the gateway on the controller is being created by the quantum (???) service during its initialization (I grepped around for "gw-") to identify where I should be putting tracebacks. According to what I have read on the net, localrc should not be enabling q-svc on the controller (and this makes sense given I am pointing back at 192.168.3.1 for quantum, as well as other services).

Again, hoping I mostly have the localrc contents right, and that maybe I just need to add some commands to the end of stack,sh to finish it off. Been frustrating seeing the VMs get launched only to not be able to ping them (but damn, that's pretty cool they spin up, don't you think?) I have a lot to learn still (just 2 weeks into this) but kinda stuck on this issue.

Regards,

syd
