Are you running glance over ssl? We had an fairly random but consistent issue with vm's being stuck building. Usually building means (at least what I found) the compute node did not have the backing image for the vm and needs to download it from glance ,
convert it from what ever backing file it was to a raw image, then start a qcow2 instances backed by the raw file. Assuming you are the default configured raw backend qcow2.</div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 14px;">You can check this by logging into the compute node and looking under: </font><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">/var/nova/</span><wbr style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">instances/</span><wbr style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">_base/

I posted about this on the mailing list a while back: <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openstack/operators/39669">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/openstack/operators/39669</a></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">A</font><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">nd also made a bug posting: </span><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1340993">https://bugs.launchpad.net/glance/+bug/1340993</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The bug posting included some scripts to duplicate/verify the issue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the end we moved ssl termination to haproxy on the same box as glance and the issues went away.</div>

</div>

</div>
<div>
<div>Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>recently I started having problems when creating instances - "every now and then" they seem to get stuck in a 'Build' state. After I terminate that instance and try again, it mostly goes through fine. This is happening across multiple projects/tenants
and seems to affect all users.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone know this issue and/or has any suggestions or links or docs to read up on to troubleshoot this ? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!<br>
Alex</div>
