Re: [Openstack] Ocata Created Ports Strange Issue

2018-02-09 Thread Eugen Block

Hi,

my input on this is very limited, but I believe we had a similar issue  
in our Ocata cloud. My workaround was like yours, detach the assigned  
port, recreate it and attach it again. The only strange thing was,  
that when I wanted to delete the port, the CLI reported that the port  
didn't exist, it literally disappeared!
I didn't spend very much time to debug it because it has not happened  
since then. And if I remember correctly, it occured around our large  
migration, where we upgraded our Ceph backend to the latest version,  
upgraded the OS of all nodes and also the cloud from Mitaka to Ocata  
(via Newton), it could have been a side effect of that, at least that  
was my hope.


So as I said, this is not of big help, but I can confirm your  
observation, unfortunately without any pointers to the cause. If this  
happens again, I will definitely spend more time on debugging! ;-)


Regards,
Eugen


Zitat von Georgios Dimitrakakis :


Dear all,

I have a small Ocata installation (1x controller + 2x compute nodes)  
on which I have manually created 5 network ports and afterwards each  
one of these ports is assigned to a specific instance (4Linux VMs  
and 1Windows). All these instances are located on one physical  
hypervisor (compute node) while the controller is also the  
networking node.


The other day we had to do system maintenance and all hosts (compute  
and network/controller) were powered off but before that we  
gracefully shutoff all running VMs.


As soon as maintenance finished we powered on everything and I met  
the following strange issue... Instances with an attached port were  
trying for very long time to get an IP from the DHCP server but they  
all manage to get one eventually with the exception of the Windows  
VM on which I had to assign it statically. Restarting networking  
services on controller/network and/or compute node didn't make any  
difference. On the other hand all newly spawned instances didn't  
have any problem no matter on which compute node they were spawned  
and their only difference was that they were automatically getting  
ports assigned. All the above happened on Friday and today (Monday)  
people were complaining that the Linux VMs didn't have network  
connectivity (Windows was working...), so I don't know the exact  
time the issue occured. I have tried to access all VMs using the  
"self-service" network by spawning a new instance unfortunately  
without success. The instance was successfully spawned, it had  
network connectivity but couldn't reach any of the afforementioned  
VMs.


What I did finally and solved the problem was to detach interfaces,  
deleted ports, re-created new ports with same IP address etc. and  
re-attached them to the VMs. As soon as I did that networking  
connectivity was back to normal without even having to restart the  
VMs.


Unfortunately I couldn't find any helpful information regarding this  
in the logs and I am wondering has anyone seen or experienced  
something similar?


Best regards,

G.
