I'm setting up a modest cloud for internal use. Currently I have the following configuration:
Server1 (nova) is running all nova services EXCEPT nova compute. Server 2 (nova1) is running only nova-compute. Servers3-12 are idle, but will eventually run nova-compute Server 1 is configured with public_interface eth0 and vlan_interface eth1. The nova.conf file is as follows --dhcpbridge_flagfile=/etc/nova/nova.conf --dhcpbridge=/usr/bin/nova-dhcpbridge --logdir=/var/log/nova --state_path=/var/lib/nova --lock_path=/var/lock/nova --verbose --s3_host=173.23.181.1 --rabbit_host=173.23.181.1 --cc_host=173.23.181.1 --ec2_url=http://173.23.181.1:8773/services/Cloud --nova_url=http://173.23.181.1:8774/v1.1/ --fixed_range=192.168.64.0/18 --network_size=8 --FAKE_subdomain=cloud --routing_source_ip=173.23.181.1 --sql_connection=mysql://nova:[email protected]/nova --glance_api_servers=192.168.10.1:9292 --public_interface=eth0 --vlan_interface=eth1 --use_deprecated_auth --iscsi_ip_prefix=192.168.10. Server 2 is configured with vlan_interface eth3. The nova.conf file is practically identical to Server1 and is as follows --dhcpbridge_flagfile=/etc/nova/nova.conf --dhcpbridge=/usr/bin/nova-dhcpbridge --logdir=/var/log/nova --state_path=/var/lib/nova --lock_path=/var/lock/nova --verbose --s3_host=173.23.181.1 --rabbit_host=173.23.181.1 --cc_host=173.23.181.1 --ec2_url=http://173.23.181.1:8773/services/Cloud --nova_url=http://173.23.181.1:8774/v1.1/ --fixed_range=192.168.64.0/18 --network_size=8 --FAKE_subdomain=cloud --routing_source_ip=173.23.181.1 --sql_connection=mysql://nova:[email protected]/nova --glance_api_servers=192.168.10.1:9292 --vlan_interface=eth3 --use_deprecated_auth --iscsi_ip_prefix=192.168.10. I've setup 1 private network 192.168.64.0/19. I'm seeing the following behavior and wonder if this is a bug. When starting an instance, if the bridge interface does not exist on Server2 (br100), the instance fails to start and the nova-compute.log file shows the following error: 2012-01-25 15:59:26,644 ERROR nova.exception [-] Uncaught exception (nova.exception): TRACE: Traceback (most recent call last): (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/exception.py", line 98, in w rapped (nova.exception): TRACE: return f(*args, **kw) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/connection.py", line 672, in spawn (nova.exception): TRACE: block_device_info=block_device_info) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/connection.py", line 1272, in to_xml (nova.exception): TRACE: block_device_info) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/connection.py", line 1170, in _prepare_xml_info (nova.exception): TRACE: nics.append(self.vif_driver.plug(instance, network, mapping)) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/virt/libvirt/vif.py", line 8 6, in plug (nova.exception): TRACE: network['bridge_interface']) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/network/linux_net.py", line 889, in ensure_vlan_bridge (nova.exception): TRACE: bridge_interface, mac_address) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/utils.py", line 688, in inne r (nova.exception): TRACE: retval = f(*args, **kwargs) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/network/linux_net.py", line 909, in ensure_vlan (nova.exception): TRACE: _execute('ip', 'link', 'set', interface, 'up', run_as_root=True) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/network/linux_net.py", line 745, in _execute (nova.exception): TRACE: return utils.execute(*cmd, **kwargs) (nova.exception): TRACE: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/utils.py", line 191, in exec ute (nova.exception): TRACE: cmd=' '.join(cmd)) (nova.exception): TRACE: ProcessExecutionError: Unexpected error while running command.

What am I missing? Regards, Ross
