Hi Thiago,

 

Yours isn’t the same problem as mine; yours sounds like either the DHCP service isn’t running, or your instances cannot reach the DHCP service somehow (i.e a routing problem.) IMO, IRC answers are highly dependent on the knowledge of the advice giver ;)

I had the same problem when I first installed Devstack, and I believe it was because of an incorrect network setup. I redid the network setup, and restarted, and my instances began getting IP addr’s via DHCP. Now my problem is that the metadata service is not working, most likely because I am running Quantum instead of nova-network, and it is set up for overlapping tenant networks. I am going to try Mark’s suggested fix below (enabling the ‘q-meta’ service) and see if that solves the problem.

 

Best,

Will

Subject: Re: [Openstack] VMs not able to contact metadata service

 

Hi!

 

My Instance doesn't get an IP... Don't know if it is related to this problem...

 

I'm following this guide: http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/basic-install/content/basic-install_operate.html

 

That guide uses Folsom / Quantum and, someone on IRC have said that my instance isn't able to reach metadata but, I have no idea about what's going on...

 

Can someone enlighten me? I mean, if my problem is related to this or not?

 

Thanks!

Thiago

The metadata service in Folsom will only work when overlapping IP ranges are disabled (see: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-network/admin/content/ch_limitations.html). For Grizzly, we have added metadata service for overlapping networks. This feature is currently available in devstack when you enable the q-meta service.

Am trying to use Ubuntu UEC image to spawn VMs, but when the VM instance boots, it is not able to contact the metadata server in order to (among other things) inject the public key needed in order for me to be able to SSH into the instance. See http://paste.openstack.org/show/28764/ for a log snippet if needed.

When I dump the iptables rules for the 'nat' table, I see that my added rule is being hit, but it's still not working:
