No, I don't have these tools enabled to check the placement allocation and resources. I can try to.

Meanwhile is there some configuration to be set in stein release as opposed to rocky towards cells or placement ? 

On the same nodes rocky was installed and it worked fine straight out of box. Stein is showing issues with controllers and says "Failed to compute_task_build_instances: No valid host was found." under nova-conductor.log.

Also under nova-scheduler.log I could see a single info entry: " Got no allocation candidates from the Placement API. This could be due to insufficient resources or a temporary occurence as compute nodes start up."

But I do see that all compute nodes are enabled and is up.

You can also use the osc-placement CLI to check what the placement
data looks like. Do you have resource providers and matching
inventories for your hypervisors?
