Re: OpenStack Eseex, XP instances and DHCP service (vlan mode)

 

I did had trouble with DHCP leasing with 2K3 R2 using Essex. At first boot, the lease was taken from our corporate DHCP server instead of nova-network dnsmasq. I also noticed in EventViewer that, as you mention, DHCP leases were sometimes forgotten.

After long time investigating, I had to answer, neither no fix. The only workaround was to isolate physically our Essex setup to make sure DHCP broadcast was not reaching our corp Win2k DHCP server.

Sorry, I admit this is not a clear solution, only the move to Quantum with ProviderRouter fixed my issue.

Hi Guys,
I'm currently using OPS Essex - from the Canonical repos.
I'm running an heterogenous set of instanes (Ubutu, Debian, CentOS, Server 2K3 R2, 2K8, etc..) I'm facing an issue with the XP instances, all are running the SP3 in 64bits - What happens is that sometimes they are not able to renew their IP address toward the DHCP server, thus dropping all network connectivity. I've upgraded all my dnsmasq services by compiling the version 2-61 - according to that thread (https://lists.launchpad.net/openstack/msg11696.html) and let the long lease times in case of, but that doesn't change - I still see in the event viewer of XP a warning about the DHCP service complaining about a timeout.

Any help would be much appreciated - my options are now as short as a hobbit
cheers
