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 <gior...@acmac.uoc.gr>:

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.
