Hi,
Sorry for the delay, I had time off and had to research what the issues were.

Your doc really helped to get the SSH working on the instance, by creating a keypair in the services project and referencing it.

With that I was able to diagnose many issues I faced.

The image I initially built was not working properly for a start.

Now I can successfully build a trove DB on OpenStack.  Yay me lol.

I do have other issues though that the trove database is not showing the floating IP and I need to get it working with designate properly, but I am on the right track now.

This seemed like the best way for me to get a working image: https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_8&p=openstack_victoria3&f=15 

Thank-you very much for your help :)

Regards,
Ryan

In this case, we need to check the trove-guestagent log. For how to ssh into the guest instance, https://docs.openstack.org/trove/latest/admin/troubleshooting.html

You can also jump into #openstack-trove IRC channel we could have a chat there.

Hi,  

Sorry I should have clarified.  The build step I am stuck on is while spinning up the trove database on openstack horizon.  I have built the qcow image fine.   Also, I can view the login prompt of the trove instance that was created when creating a trove database. So it seems the agent is not running in the instance properly. 

I have read that document lots and need to login to the image to see the files and Ubuntu Ubuntu doesnt work.

Hi,

Sorry I meant the instance is being deployed in nova correctly and entering running state and console gives me login screen.

Hi,

I am having problems with the image being deployed correctly with nova, but the communication to the guestagent is timing out and i am stuck in build stage.

./trovestack build-image ubuntu bionic true ubuntu

Also with that, I dont know which mysql version it is building.

I am assuming it is 5.7.29.

I cannot diagnose as i cannot login to the guest image instance.

I assume the user is ubuntu, but i cannot login with any password that i have tried.

Can you tell me what username/password to login to the instance by console in openstack please.

Regards,
Ryan
