Hello,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am installing Openstack Ussuri and am running into an issue when using Availability Zones. I initially thought it was a quota issue but that no longer seems to be the case. I started a thread on serverfault and was recommended to submit these
questions here as well. Here is the original link: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://serverfault.com/questions/1064579/openstack-only-building-one-vm-per-machine-in-cluster-then-runs-out-of-resource" target="_blank">https://serverfault.com/questions/1064579/openstack-only-building-one-vm-per-machine-in-cluster-then-runs-out-of-resource</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The issue is still, I can successfully build vms on every host, but only one vm per host. The size of the initial vm does not matter. Since I posted the thread above, I have redeployed the entire cluster, by hand, using the docs on
<a href="http://openstack.org" target="_blank">openstack.org</a>. Everything worked as it should, I created 3 test aggregates, 3 test availability zones, with no issues for about a month. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All of a sudden, the system reverted to no longer allowing more than one machine to be placed per host. There has been no changes to the controller. I have enabled placement logging now so I can see more information but I don’t understand why
its happening. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Example. Start with a host that has no vms on it: </div>

<div><code>"status": 409, "title": "Conflict", "detail": "There was a conflict when trying to complete your request.\n\n Unable to allocate inventory: Unable to create allocation for 'VCPU' on resource provider</code></div>

<div><font face="Menlo"><br>
</font></div>
<div>As you can see, the used value is suddenly 8206 after a single 4 core vm is placed on it. I don’t understand what im missing or could be doing wrong. Im really unsure where this value is being calculated from. All the entries in the database and
via openstack commands show the correct values except in this log entry. Has anyone experienced the same or similar behavior? I would appreciate any insight as to what the issue could be. </div>

<div>Thanks in advance!</div>
