Nova-manage service list is not conveying loss of dependent services

 

Hi,

Nova-manage service list is not conveying loss of dependent services

Description: Though Rabbit MQ service is down, nova-compute service status is showing as alive, so VMs are regularly scheduled to this node and get stuck.

Proposed Solution:

Need to detect compute managers which have failed to contact the dependent service like RabitMQ, libvirt etc., after identifying the problem (after configurable number of retries) compute service should disable itself by logging proper reason into database and it should enable the itself once the detected problem resolves.

With the proposed solution when the Rabbit MQ service is down service list shows as follows:

nova-network nv-aw1st21-compute0001 nova disabled (unable to contact RabbitMQ) enabled 2013-01-02 05:33:00

To implement this approach need to introduce a new column "reason".

Please comment on the proposed approach.

Thanks,
Kobagana Kumar
