Public bug reported: In a site upgraded to Ussuri we are getting faults starting instances
2020-11-30 13:41:40.586 232871 ERROR oslo_messaging.rpc.server libvirt.libvirtError: Requested operation is not valid: format of backing image '/var/lib/nova/instances/_base/xxx' of image '/var/lib/nova/instances/xxx' was not specified in the image metadata (See https://libvirt.org/kbase/backing_chains.html for troubleshooting) Bug #1864020 reports similar symptoms, where due to an upstream change in Libvirt v6.0.0+ images need the backing format specified. The fix for Bug #1864020 handles the case for new instances. However, for upgraded instances we're hitting the same problem, as those still don't have backing format specified. ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - libvirt.libvirtError: Requested operation is not valid: format of backing image %s of image %s was not specified + After upgrade: "libvirt.libvirtError: Requested operation is not valid: format of backing image %s of image %s was not specified" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
