I just completed a fresh installation of 4.2.1 on CentOS 6.5 with both the management and the agent running on a single host. The plan is to keep things simple as this setup will be used for development rather than hosting production level services. After the initial setup everything looked great until I rebooted the system.
From here on I am no longer able to access the network from the physical server. It doesn’t happen all the time, but often enough. Maybe 1 out of 5 times does the network stack initially properly. Here is my network configuration Physical server: Device: eth0 Assigned via DHCP. Fixed on the DHCP server to the MAC address of the server to 192.168.0.6 DNS name / mapping configured for both name and IP (both directions) to allow for the system to find the hostname ifcfg-eth0 ====== DEVICE=eth0 TYPE=Ethernet UUID= XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=NO PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no NAME="System eth0" BRIDGE=cloudbr0 ifcfg-cloudbr0 ========= DEVICE=cloudbr0 TYPE=Bridge UUID= XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX DEFROUTE=yes PEERDNS=no PEERROUTES=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes IPV6INIT=no NAME="System eth0" One of the issues is that when the problem occurs the system it not able to access any other system on the local network and hence not able to resolve its own hostname, causing the cloudstack-agent/management server also to fail. Here is the resolve.conf file ================== # Generated by NetworkManager search mydomain.com # No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your # ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so: # # DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com Here is the routing table =============== Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.122.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 virbr0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 cloud0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 And the output from ifconfig ================== cloudbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX inet6 addr: fe80::e44c:e4ff:fe1e:dde7/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:3852 (3.7 KiB) eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX inet addr:192.168.0.6 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::52e5:49ff:fee1:7d12/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:306 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:212 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:37028 (36.1 KiB) TX bytes:32638 (31.8 KiB) Interrupt:20 Memory:fbf00000-fbf20000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:119 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:119 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:10712 (10.4 KiB) TX bytes:10712 (10.4 KiB) virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Any pointers what I can do to get my network configuration working correctly.
