John,

I reboot my controller node, and things seem to be working a bit better.   I followed the steps in "OpenStack Deploy and Install – Ubuntu", section Appendix B ( http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/osfolubuntu-cinder.html ).  All the three cinder-api/volume/scheduler services are running.

However, when I create a 1GB test volume (as per the instructions), I run into a failure.

I am attaching text file containing the log entries from the three cinder log files.   Can you please help me understand why the volume creation is failing?  I really appreciate your help.

Regards,
Ahmed.

John,

Thank you for your response.  When you stay start from scratch, do you mean re-install everything (all services) from scratch, as in a fresh install of Ubuntu?   And then not install nova-volume and don't create endpoint for nova-volume?

Not to impose on you, but can you help me understand what does the following error mean:
    ERROR: Malformed request url (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req-8cff9608-598b-4618-bdc1-1068a1227781)

Is there an issue with how the REST command (Get/Put) is formed?
Is the service not listening on the expected port, or the service is not even up and running?

Regards,
Ahmed.

Hello,

I just installed installed cinder, however, I am getting the following error.

root@bodega:~/ahmed/cinder# cinder create --display_name test 1
ERROR: Malformed request url (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req-a488154b-37f8-47e8-ae5f-8e7a73f6637b)

Can someone please help me understand what this error means.  I don't see any logs being generated in any of the cinder log files - cinder–api.log, cinder-scheduler.log, cinder-volume.log.

Any pointers to debug this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Ahmed.

Ahmed,

It looks like there's still a problem with your endpoint configuration?  If your conf files are in fact set up correctly as advised earlier there is also a potential that you didn't clean up the nova-volume settings you had in keystone and the CS.  Depending on your system, you might want to consider dropping the tables from your DB and starting from scratch and install cinder only.

Thanks,
John
Ahmed,

No... sorry, I didn't mean re-install the OS, just reconfigure OpenStack from scratch (drop the databases [NOT the mysql and other defaults]) and step back through the config without the nova-volume piece in the mix.

The malformed request is telling you that there's something that the receiving end does not like about the call you've made.  The reason I suspect the endpoint or catalog service issue is that I've made the same mistake and seen the same error myself :)

Thanks,
John
