Open Stack

Hi Isaac,

Please send these questions to openstack-infra mailing list. You'll get better responses.

Nodepool keys are injected here as documented [1]

# Ensure the NODEPOOL_SSH_KEY variable is in the environment
# Otherwise nodepool won't be able to ssh into nodes based
# on the image built manually using these instructions
source /etc/default/nodepool

I suspect you don't have that variable set.

Subject: Nodepool issue (is it a bug?)

Hi Ramy,

I'm working on setting a CI system for IBM storage products.
Currently I'm dealing with Nodepool.

I created an image and uplad it to glance and then I use nodepool to create VMs
I run the following command....

> nodepool image-update

After the VM is created in openstack nodepool tries to connect via ssh and fails
the error is: (from /var/log/nodepool.log)
2016-04-03 16:34:08,985 INFO nodepool.utils: Auth exception for root at 9.11.122.132<mailto:root at 9.11.122.132>. Try number 18..

I looked in nodepool.py. The problem seems to be with the following code:


    def bootstrapServer(self, server, key, use_password=False):
        log = logging.getLogger("nodepool.image.build.%s.%s" %
                                (self.provider.name, self.image.name))

        ssh_kwargs = dict(log=log)
        if not use_password:
            ssh_kwargs['pkey'] = key
        else:
            ssh_kwargs['password'] = server['admin_pass']

        host = utils.ssh_connect(server['public_ip'], 'root', ssh_kwargs,
                                 timeout=CONNECT_TIMEOUT)

        if not host:
            # We have connected to the node but couldn't do anything as root
            # try distro specific users, since we know ssh is up (a timeout
            # didn't occur), we can connect with a very sort timeout.
            for username in ['ubuntu', 'fedora', 'cloud-user', 'centos',
                             'debian']:
                try:
                    host = utils.ssh_connect(server['public_ip'], username,
                                             ssh_kwargs,
                                             timeout=10)
                    if host:
                        break
                except:
                    continue

        if not host:
            raise Exception("Unable to log in via SSH")

According to this code, nodepool tries to connect to the node with new generated key (by paramiko) and user = 'root' or user = 'ubuntu';
The problem is that no one put the ssh key in theses users?
Is it a bug?

Thanks,
Isaac Beckman
