Hi, 

Controllers nodes must be able to connect with amphora to make healthchecks. Since the logs are shown "no route to host error", have you tried to configure a route to octavia management network gateway?

Regards.

Hi OpenStack Community,

I am currently facing an issue with the Load Balancer (Octavia) service in my OpenStack deployment and would appreciate your guidance or suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve it.

Environment Details:

  • OpenStack Version: 2023.1 (Antelope)

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04

  • Octavia Backend: Amphora

  • Network Type: VXLAN

  • Deployment Tool: Kolla Ansible 

Issue Summary:

After creating a Load Balancer, the Amphora instance is successfully launched. However, approximately 18 minutes later, the Load Balancer transitions to an ERROR state.

Error Observed:

octavia.common.exceptions.ComputeWaitTimeoutException: Waiting for compute id a222527f-8336-4fb1-8e9e-0e3ac6e8d580 to go active timeout.
octavia.amphorae.driver_exceptions.exceptions.AmpConnectionRetry: Could not connect to amphora, exception caught:
HTTPSConnectionPool(host='192.168.200.247', port=9443): Max retries exceeded with url: // (Caused by NewConnectionError: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 113] No route to host)

What I’ve Tried:

  1. Created a VXLAN-based internal network:

    openstack subnet create --network octavia-mgmt-net --subnet-range 192.168.200.0/24 octavia-mgmt-subnet
openstack router create octavia-router
openstack router add subnet octavia-router octavia-mgmt-subnet
openstack router set octavia-router --external-gateway <public-network-id>

  2. Manually configured OVS interface:

    ovs-vsctl add-port br-int octavia-mgmt -- set interface octavia-mgmt type=internal
ip addr add 192.168.200.1/24 dev octavia-mgmt
ip link set octavia-mgmt up

  3. Security groups are open (allowing all ingress and egress).

  4. Verified OVS bridge setup – interface appears correctly on br-int.

Behavior Noticed:

  • Amphora instance gets created but fails to communicate with the controller after a while,so health checks fails.

  • The controller cannot reach the Amphora management IP (192.168.200.x).

  • Logs show heartbeat/connection issues (No route to host, timeouts).

Request for Help:

I would appreciate any of the following:

  • Suggestions to verify if the management network is properly routed from controller to Amphora.

  • Best practices for setting up the Octavia management network using VXLAN.

  • Troubleshooting steps for verifying health manager connectivity to Amphora.
