Hello all,

Here it is my situation:

I am trying to install Essex on a small cluster (3 nodes) running 
Debian. There is a front-end node that has a public IP and then there 
are 2 compute nodes in a LAN. I cannot run nova-network on the front-end 
node because it is overwritting the iptables there and some other 
services start to misbehave, so I am trying a multi-host solution with 
nova-network running in each compute node.

The nova.conf I'm using in both compute nodes is the following:

[DEFAULT]
logdir=/var/log/nova
state_path=/var/lib/nova
lock_path=/var/lock/nova
root_helper=sudo nova-rootwrap
auth_strategy=keystone
iscsi_helper=tgtadm
sql_connection=mysql://nova-common:password@172.16.8.1/nova
connection_type=libvirt
libvirt_type=kvm
my_ip=172.16.8.22
rabbit_host=172.16.8.1
glance_host=172.16.8.1
image_service=nova.image.glance.GlanceImageService
network_manager=nova.network.manager.FlatDHCPManager
fixed_range=192.168.100.0/24
flat_interface=eth1
public_interface=eth0
flat_network_bridge=br100
flat_network_dhcp_start=192.168.100.2
network_size=256
dhcpbridge_flagfile=/etc/nova/nova.conf
dhcpbridge=/usr/bin/nova-dhcpbridge
multi_host=True
send_arp_for_ha=true

I have created a network with:

nova-manage network create private --fixed_range_v4=192.168.100.0/24 
--multi_host=T --bridge_interface=br100

And I have set up eth1 with no IP and running in promisc mode. When I 
launch an instance, ifconfig outputs the following:

And brctl show:

br100           8000.68b599c27ba7       no              eth1
vnet0

Which looks fine to me. However, the VM log shows that it is unable to 
get an IP through DHCP (despite dnsmasq is running):

Starting network...
udhcpc (v1.18.5) started
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
No lease, failing
WARN: /etc/rc3.d/S40-network failed

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Javier
