Engineering Team, which is subscribed to neutron. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172922 Title: Nova and quantum don't close qpid connections after certain error conditions Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service): Fix Released Status in neutron grizzly series: Fix Released Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova): Fix Released Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) grizzly series: In Progress Status in Oslo - a Library of Common OpenStack Code: Fix Released Bug description: In conditions where nova gets a connection to qpid but there is a problem at the application layer (such as a bad qpid password is specified), nova will continuously retry the connection without closing previous connections. Steps to reproduce: - Preconditions: At least 1 nova compute node using qpid for messaging, with authentication turned on. - Specify a wrong qpid password in nova.conf on the compute node - nova will continuously retry with the wrong password and print errors such as this to the compute log: 2013-04-25 16:37:52.269 ERROR nova.openstack.common.rpc.impl_qpid [req-1d15f33c-5b2d-4ee1-aaa1-ab0140a56608 None None] Unable to connect to AMQP server: connection-forced: Authentication failed(320). Sleeping 60 seconds - Each time nova retries the connection, it will create another connection to qpid and not close the previous connections. I think this exception case needs to be updated in https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/openstack/common/rpc/impl_qpid.py to close the connection: except qpid_exceptions.ConnectionError, e: msg_dict = dict(e=e, delay=delay) msg = _("Unable to connect to AMQP server: %(e)s. " "Sleeping %(delay)s seconds") % msg_dict LOG.error(msg) time.sleep(delay) delay = min(2 * delay, 60) Note that quantum uses the same code for qpid.
