This bug was last updated over 4 years ago, and as there have
been many changes to both nova and horizon since then, this is
getting marked as Invalid. If the issue still exists, please

Title:
RPC timeouts (when using raw image backend for example)
Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
Invalid
Bug description:
Release found: Folsom
Environment:
A single node running all services
Ubuntu 12.04
Using Ubuntu cloud archive packages
Steps to reproduce:
1. Upload a big image, for example a windows 7 image of 8GB (I guess any big
image will do, but we verified this with a big win7 image)
2. Add the following flag to nova.conf: libvirt_images_type=raw and restart
nova-compute
3. Use horizon to launch 20 instances at once, using the win7 image
Current result:
Only 3..7 out of 20 instances are able to launch successfuly, all other
instances become in error state because of rpc timeout of nova-network
Expected result:
Higher ratio of success preferably 20, maybe by limiting the amount of
allowed instances that can be started when raw backend is being used. Or maybe
this should be done by limiting system io for the spawn instance process?
Additional info:
If we change to libvirt_images_type=default the exact same hardware/setup can
launch 20 instances without any rpc timeouts. It seems that the big image copy
part is causing heavy load, but when using qcow2 it uses a backing file so it
doesn't have to copy the whole image.
Related error log which shows the RPC timeout:

When you use nova-network in multi_host mode the same issue may be
experiencied when launching lots of instances. So another way to
reproduce is to deploy several nodes all running nova-network
multi_host and then launch 20 x N instances where N == amount of
compute nodes.
