Openstack Victoria : Instance failed to create virtual interface

ar flag

I installed the proof of concept architecture from the install guide with option 2 selfservice network. Everything went well, the last step before creating instance was ok :I can ping the router from everywhere. However, when i start an instance, it fails with the error "Virtual Interface creation failed". I saw in the log that, nova went in timeout, it was waiting for VIF to be plugged. When I looked before that timeout, os_vif said that the VIF was plugged sucessfully and i saw some strange DEBUG logs (No BDM found + No VIF found with mac xxxxx).

I try to use "vif_plugging_is_fatal = False", instances can boot but can't access to the network (no IP address get from DHCP). In fact: -on the controller node, vxlan, tap, bridge, vlan 1 are created and brctl/bridge commands shows that everything is ok and the provider bridge is linked to the configured physical interface.

  • on the conpute node, the bridge and tap are created but no vxlan. In provider mode, the link between the bridge and the physical interface is not done.

I checked several times all the configuration with the install guide but I don't find what is wrong. I use KVM.

I also check logs, no errors see! I I read somewhere and put all interfaces in promisc mode without success!

Do you have an idea of what I can check to make it works?

Thank you

Have you disabled apparmor (or other security applications)? I have seen that a couple of times, the last one just yesterday.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
