Re: Floating IP vs. Fixed IP in nova-network

 

Hi Vish,

Thank you very much gain.  I never set multi_host=True in my nova.conf file.  But I think I know how it could have got set.  In the "OpenStack Install and Deploy Manual", section "Creating the Network for Compute VMs" (  http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/compute-create-network.html ), I used the following command from the section to create the network:

        nova-manage network create private --multi_host=T --fixed_range_v4=192.168.100.0/24 --bridge_interface=br100 --num_networks=1 --network_size=256


Is that a typo in the document?

I would really prefer to run "multi_host=0" mode, so I don't run into other issues.  I am not familiar with, so I feel I might end up doing more damage than good trying to muck with the db.  What would you suggest, run nova-network on sonoma, and that will pretty much solve my issues, or should I just re-do the setup from scratch, which would not be too bad for me as it will take me an hour or two.

Regards,
Ahmed.

Your hosts get ips from the fixed range in multi_host mode. It looks like your network is multi_host=True. this is the only reason  sonoma would have been assigned an ip. So you can either run nova-network on sonoma or set multi_host=0 on your network in the database. If you want to switch back to multi_host=0 you will likely have to clean out the db tables, so you might do best dropping all records from the networks and fixed_ips tables and recreating the network.

Hi Vish,

Thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate it.

My setup has two nodes:

controller-node (hostname: bodega;  nova-network running;  no nova-compute running)
eth0:10.176.20.158
eth1:No IP assigned (VM network)

compute-node (hostname: sonoma;  nova-compute running only).
eth0:10.176.20.4
eth1:No IP assigned (VM network)

My network configuration is in single-host mode.  Both the host's hostname and their IPs has not changed.

I believe my setup is affected with issue (a), "have a network or fixed ip with an old hostname assigned".

root@bodega:/etc/nova# mysql -u root -pmysqlsecret   nova -e 'select * from fixed_ips where host="sonoma"'

root@bodega:/etc/nova# mysql -u root -pmysqlsecret   nova -e 'select * from networks where host="sonoma"'
root@bodega:/etc/nova#  (NO OUTPUT)

I am a bit confused, why is "192.168.100.2" assigned to sonoma?  Isn't that IP range reserved for VMs?

Should sonoma have the IP address "10.176.20.4"?  How can I clear the issue, so I don't get the RPC message timeout.

Ahmed.

Hi Vish,

I do not have auto_assign_floating_ip set.  So, I can safely assume nova-network is assigning fixed-IP, right?

you always get a fixed ip

Sorry to impose, but do you have a few minutes to help me understand by I am getting a RPC message timeout issue which is prohibiting me from launching a VM.  I looked through the logs extensively, but I can't figure out, who the RPC msg is destine for, and why no response.

do you have a machine with the hostname sonoma? Perhaps you did at one point and the hostname has changed?

I suspect either:

a) you have a network or fixed ip with an old hostname assigned:
mysql nova -e 'select * from fixed_ips where host="sonoma"'
mysql nova -e 'select * from networks where host="sonoma"'

or (more likely)
b) you are running multi_host mode and you have nova-compute running on the host 'sonoma' and you don't have nova-network running on the host like you should.
