<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m hoping someone here can help me with this please…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I ran into a problem launching an instance. Looking around, I determined it's because nova compute was not started. In /var/log/nova/compute.log, I saw 5 errors like this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And then a CRITICAL error with:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">That basevm.img image is VM image I was working on and is not related to OpenStack (and it does exist in the /root/work/openstack-testing/images directory). Note that if I run virsh list --all, I get:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Only the instance-00000037 VM is an OpenStack VM and the other 5 (note it is 5 - same as the number of error messages above) are not OpenStack VMs/instances. The instance that was created and result in instance-00000037 no longer exists
if I run a nova list command.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, any ideas on how to recover from this? If I try restarting the openstack-nova-compute service I just get the same errors that I mentioned above.<o:p></o:p></p>
