<p class="MsoNormal">I know you guys are busy trying to get the new release out the door but if someone could take a quick peek at this and provide a suggestion on where to look, I would be very grateful. I could really use a suggestion on compute node configuration
for metadata and vnc proxy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m having some problems with my instances accessing metadata from my compute nodes… they don’t. The instances running on compute nodes are not able to contact dhcp to get their IP and as a result I cannot pull in the metadata for ssh
keys, hostname, etc. I can ping the metadata IP, 169.254.169.254 from my host but when I try to test the connection using curl I get a 404 error. I’m also not sure if iptables is being setup properly. I believe I have nova.conf configured properly. I’m using
nova-metadata-api on each of my compute nodes and have nova.conf configured with the hosts IP for the metadata server and I do not have “metadata” in the list of enabled apis. I also tried running nova-metadata-api from the command line in debug mode to see
if I was getting any errors. There were none, which leads me to believe it’s something in iptables and the VMs are never accessing the service. Also if I flush iptables and restart the openstack services, iptables is repopulated but it is very sparse. Seems
like there should be a lot more entries in the tables.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, when I try to access the vnc console on instances running on compute nodes (not the controller) I get a connection failure. I have the vnc service running on each compute node and set the variables in nova.conf to point to the compute
node instead of the controller. I actually had this working at one point and then something went wrong… again maybe iptables.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I just need some hints on where to look to find out what’s going on.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
