We've been having a persistent problem with our OpenStack (Essex) cluster. We are automatically assigning floating ips when systems are created (auto_assign_floating_ip = True). When a system boots, neithre the command line tools nor Horizon seem to know about the automatically assigned ip address for several minutes (possibly more than 10 or 15) after the system boots.
The system demonstrably has a floating ip address assigned (if you initiate an outbound connection from the system, or inspect the iptables nat rules, you can determine that address and use it to connect to the system). Manually assigning a floating ip address will force things to update (so after manually assigning a floating address you'll see the fixed address, the automatically assigned address, and the manually assigned address). We're running the 2012.1.3 release of things; I've read at least one bug report that seems to describe this issue that implies the fix should already be in this release...but we're still having this problem. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Were you able to solve it? A fix would be great, because right now our documentation is basically "start an instance...then go do something else for 30 minutes." -- Lars Kellogg-Stedman <[email protected]> | Senior Technologist | http://ac.seas.harvard.edu/ Academic Computing | http://code.seas.harvard.edu/ Harvard School of Engineering | and Applied Sciences | _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
