A patch that does a partial revert of https://review.openstack.org/49455 from comment #16 and is under discussion at the time of writing so I am linking it here.
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/175742/ Basically - just checking quotas and not reserving them is a bit of a fool's errand. We should eithere have a reserve-rollback api in Neutron, or as has been suggested above - create the port quickly and then update it with additional information once we have it (when the request reaches the compute host) ** Changed in: nova Status: Fix Released => Confirmed ** Changed in: nova Milestone: 2014.2 => None -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172808 Title: Nova fails on Quantum port quota too late Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova): Confirmed Bug description: Currently Nova will only hit any port quota limit in Quantum in the compute manager - as that's where the code to create ports exists - resulting in the instance going to an error state (after its bounced through three hosts). Seems to me that for Quantum the ports should be created in the API call (so that the error can be sent back to the user), and the port then passed down to the compute manager. (Since a user can pass a port into the server create call I'm assuming this would be OK) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1172808/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
