[Openstack] [nova] live migration oddity

2015-01-22 Thread Xu (Simon) Chen
Hey, I am having trouble live-migrating relatively large VMs (16 cores, 64G ram). I am seeing a constant 50-60MBps traffic between source and destination hypervisors, but the migration wasn't done even after 10+ hours. I am using cinder with rbd backend. People on libvirt mailing list recommended

[Openstack] two cinder-volume workers front the same ceph cluster

2013-11-22 Thread Xu (Simon) Chen
Hi, I am working on an HA setup with multiple cinder-volume workers. However, I have a single ceph cluster that I want both workers to front. With relatively standard configuration, the volumes created seem to be tied to a specific worker. This means, if a volume is created by cinder-volume-1 and

2013-12-15 Thread Xu (Simon) Chen
It doesn't always happen, but only happens when I create a batch of 5 VMs or more. A few of the VMs would fail to create and become ERROR state. By digging into the logs, it seems that the VM failed because the volume could not be attached, which was in turn due to the volume being deleted for som

[Openstack] Fwd: [openstack] [keystone] [horizon] regions setup

A few questions.. First, I am a little confused by this post: http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-ops/content/segregate_cloud.html On the one hand, it says different regions should have no interactions among them. On the other hand, it says keystone should be shared across regions. I can se

Hi folks, I am having trouble with using memcache as the keystone token backend. I have three keystone nodes running active/active. Each is running keystone on apache (for kerberos auth). I recently switched from using sql backend to memcache, while have memcached running on all three of the keyst

I recently ran into the problem of not being able to create VMs. Basically nova-compute is able to generate the XML file, but not able to call virDomainCreateWithFlags(), which raises libvirtError saying "libvirtError: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown" -- how fantastic.. I am running de

Hi folks, I am wondering if there is a proper process to switch the plugin of Neutron. More specifically, I have a site running with the original OVS plugin, and I want to migrate to the ML2 plugin. Since OVS has its own database and ML2 would likely use another DB, I am not sure if the ML2 DB wou

I tried to search the Internet but probably there is a million ways to phrase this question.. Basically, assuming I have an admin credential, given a user name/id, is there a way to get the list of tenants that user is in? "user-role-list" seems to be an obvious choice, but it doesn't seem to work

Hi all, I have not closely looked at the most recent cinder release, so my questions might be already addressed. For the version that I am using, we have the following two problems: 1) My volumes are hosted on the same ceph cluster, but they're tied to a particular cinder-volume node they're crea

Hey folks, I was using vanilla openvswitch plugin and upgraded to ML2 recently. My existing networks work fine, but new networks are causing me troubles. It seems that a new network defaults provider:network_type to "local". Since I am running openvswitch agents with network_type set to VXLAN onl
