The current compute logs seem to point at this bug:
https://github.com/mseknibilel/OpenStack-Grizzly-Install-Guide/issues/71

The bug says you restart libvirt and the problem goes away. Seems like
a package issue, maybe? I am not sure.

But then why would this issue present in RDO and Ubuntu? Seems random for those 
two to have a similar packaging problem, no?
Regardless, having to restart libvirt is hardly a great option.

I notice some 404s for flavors. You need to create your own flavors
before you can boot an instance. Not sure if thats covered in the
install docs.

For me I found the order unclear in the currently proposed docs, so I
revised them so the cells and placement logic is more integrated into
the existing steps in the guide.

Yep! Going to set up and test today. Will take a while as I’m going to go from 
the beginning.
Stay tuned.

Thanks :)

Thanks,
John

Based on the log output I'd say that placement is setup properly (it's
responding to PUT/GET requests with 200/201 and seems fine).
I'd also say cells are setup fine - the instance was scheduled to the
compute host appropriately.

The errors look to be libvirt errors - is the libvirt service started
properly on the host? (as a start point).
Perhaps the libvirt setup bits in the install guide are incorrect or need
some additional steps there. I do know the group/service names and various
other things for libvirt changed with the newer libvirt version that is now
in UCA, but if this is a RDO install I'm not sure that is the same case.

Just summarizing the thoughts on IRC, could we please have a clear
understanding of the involved steps for installing greenfields, and what
is the exception or problem subsequent ?

Sure, will do.

[openstack-dev] [nova][docs] Broken nova instructions

[Alexandra Settle]

Hi everyone,

The installation guide for docs.o.o is currently broken and requires immediate 
attention from the doc and nova teams.

I have moved the relevant bug[0] to be CRITICAL at request. Brian Moss (bmoss) 
and Amy Marrich (spotz) have been working on a subsequent patch for the last 10 
days without result; the current instruction set still do not enable the user 
to start up an instance. There is another Red Hat bug tracking the issue for 
RDO.[1]

Any and all reviews on the patch[2] would be appreciated. We need to be able to 
branch

Thank you,

Alex
