[Bug 1266827] Re: Instances fail to boot with error: /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock: connection attempt failed

 

this is either a f19 issue or a openvswitch issue as we don't
set/use/maintain the unix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock parameter
anywhere in the nova code base and hence have no "cleanup" code for
clearing up that file.

** Changed in: nova
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Instances fail to boot with error: /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock:
  connection attempt failed

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Tested on RHEL6.5 with havana release openstack-nova-compute-2013.2.1-1.el6.noarch. 
  Installed openstack via packstack allinone. Have not configured neutron for external access. Using the default network.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a f19 glance image. 
  2. Boot an instance with the above image.

  Fails with the following in nova/compute.log:

  NOTE: This was a working setup. Have booted instances before with the same image. No config changes have been made that could explain the failure.
