I have time sync'ed the control and compute node. Still see the "XXX". I copied the ntp.conf file from the control-node and compute-node onto paste bin - http://pastebin.com/HsnzcRHr.
There are a few things that I find really confusing: 1. Why does "nova-manage service-list" display the service "nova-compute" (be with status XXX) on compute-node when it is not even running on compute-node. Is it because the data being displayed is stale, possibly fetched from the db? root@bodega:~# nova-manage service list <=== control-node Binary Host Zone Status State Updated_At nova-network bodega nova enabled :-) 2012-11-16 18:23:00 nova-scheduler bodega nova enabled :-) 2012-11-16 18:23:00 nova-compute sonoma nova enabled XXX 2012-11-15 23:46:46 <=== nova-cert bodega nova enabled :-) 2012-11-16 18:22:59 nova-consoleauth bodega nova enabled :-) 2012-11-16 18:22:59 root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# ps aux | grep nova <=== compute-node root 5013 0.0 0.0 9384 924 pts/0 S+ 10:54 0:00 grep --color=auto nova root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute status nova-compute stop/waiting root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# 2. The other thing that is totally confusing me is why I cannot start nova-compute on the compute-node, and I am not getting any log messages in any of the log files on the control-node or compute node. Can you please help. root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# ls -l /var/log/nova/*log -rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute statu Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service nova-compute statu The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, but statu is not supported for Upstart jobs. root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute status nova-compute stop/waiting root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute start nova-compute start/running, process 5064 root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# service nova-compute status nova-compute stop/waiting root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# ls -l /var/log/nova/*log -rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nova nova 0 Nov 16 06:40 /var/log/nova/nova-manage.log root@sonoma:/var/log/nova# (Don't worry about the log file being 0 bytes, as they just rolled over this am.) Can you please help me understand what is going on. Would appreciate any help / pointers. I copied the nova.conf file from the control and compute node onto the pastebin site. Thank you, Ahmed.
