For me this does not look like a problem in OpenStack and is likely the one with your ceph cluster
according to your explanation.

The nova log you posted shows that the VM goes down for some reason and nova updated
its power status because it shut off. This is apparently an expected behavior. You have to
find out why that VM goes down. According to your update there seems to be some issue
with ceph storage cluster and that can be a cause. So I'd recommend you first check ceph logs
and check its current status.

If you look into the problem from VM side then you may be able to check console log file
at hypervisor, located at
 /var/lib/nova/instances/<instance id>/console.log
after an instance goes down. The file might contain some messages sent to console before
it crashes. Also domain logs at /var/log/libvirt/qemu/instance-XXXXXX.log might explain
the exit status of the instance before it goes down (eg. crash)

Finally, you can leverage this mailing list to get help, but you may need to understand
the people responding you by best-effort-basis. The people subscribing to the list is geographically
distributed and usually early time in Monday is silent. If you need urgent support to resolve your
problem asap to continue your business, then I'd personally recommend looking for product support
rather than asking update after a few hours in this list.

Hi team,

Any update on this?

Thanks & Regards

Hi team,

After doing above changes I am still getting the issue in which machine continuously went shutdown

In nova-compute logs I am getting only this footprint

Logs:-

And in this architecture we are using ceph is the backend storage for Nova,glance & cinder

When machine auto goes down and if i try to start the machine it will go in error i.e. in Vm console is show I/O ERROR during boot so first we need to rebuild the volume from ceph side then I have to start the machine

Rbd object-map rebuild<volume-id>

Openstack server start <server-id>

So this issue is showing two faces one from ceph side and another from nova-compute log 

can someone please help me out to fix out this issue asap

Thanks & Regards

the general answer is swap.

nova should alwasy be deployed with swap even if you do not have over commit enabled.
there are a few reason for this the first being python allocates memory diffently if
any swap is aviable, even 1G is enough to have it not try to commit all memory. so
when swap is aviable the nova/neutron agents will use much less resident memeory even with
out usign any of the swap space.

we have some docs about this downstream
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_openstack_platform/17.1/html/configuring_the_compute_service_for_instance_creation/assembly_configuring-the-compute-service_osp#ref_calculating-swap-size_configuring-compute

if you are being ultra conservative we recommend allocating (ram * allocation ratio) in swap so in your case allcoate
1.5 times your ram as swap. we woudl expect the actul useage of swap to be a small fraction of that however so we
also provide a formula for

    overcommit_ratio = NovaRAMAllocationRatio - 1
    Minimum swap size (MB) = (total_RAM * overcommit_ratio) + RHEL_min_swap
    Recommended swap size (MB) = total_RAM * (overcommit_ratio + percentage_of_RAM_to_use_for_swap)

so say your host had 64G of ram with an allocation ratio of 1.5 and a min swap percentaiong of 25%
the conserviver swap recommentation would be

(64*(0.5+0.25)) + disto_min_swap
(64*0.75) + 4G = 52G of recommended swap

if your wondering why we add a min swap precentage and disto min swap its basically to acocund for the
Qemu and host OS memory overhead as well as the memory used by the nova/neutron agents and libvirt/ovs


if your not using memory over commit my general recommdation is if you have less then 64G of ram allcoate 16G if you
have more then 256G of ram allocate 64G and you should be fine. when you do use memofy over commit you must
have at least enouch swap to account for the qemu overhead of all instance + the over committed memory.


the other common cause of OOM errors is if you are using numa affinity and the guest dont request
hw:mem_page_size=<something> without setting a mem_page_size request we dont do numa aware memory placement. the kernel
OOM system works
on a per numa node basis, numa affintiy does not supprot memory over commit either so that is likly not your issue.
i jsut said i woudl mention it to cover all basis.

sean
