I think you can also use "nova-manage placement audit" without a uuid of one of the compute. That should iterate over everything. On Wed, Jun 30, 2021 at 3:40 PM Laurent Dumont <laurentfdumont@gmail.com> wrote:
In some cases, the DEBUG messages are a bit verbose but can really walk you through the allocation/scheduling process. You could increase it for nova and restart the api + scheduler on the controllers. I wonder if a desync of the DB could be in cause? Are you running an HA deployment for the mysql backend?

Any other logs with Unable to create allocation for 'VCPU' on resource provider?
No, the 3 logs listed are the only logs where it is showing this message and VCPU is the only thing it fails for. No memory or disk allocation failures, always VCPU.
At this point if you list the resource provider usage on 3f9d0deb-936c-474a-bdee-d3df049f073d again then do you still see 4 VCPU used, or 8206 used?
The usage shows everything correctly:
~# openstack resource provider usage show 3f9d0deb-936c-474a-bdee-d3df049f073d +----------------+-------+ | resource_class | usage | +----------------+-------+ | VCPU | 4 | | MEMORY_MB | 8192 | | DISK_GB | 10 | +----------------+-------+
Allocations shows the same:
~# openstack resource provider show 3f9d0deb-936c-474a-bdee-d3df049f073d --allocations +-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | uuid | 3f9d0deb-936c-474a-bdee-d3df049f073d | | name | kh09-50 | | generation | 244 | | allocations | {'4a6fe4c2-ece4-45c2-b7a2-fdfd41308988': {'resources': {'VCPU': 4, 'MEMORY_MB': 8192, 'DISK_GB': 10}}} | +-------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Allocation candidate list shows all 228 servers in the cluster available:
~# openstack allocation candidate list --resource VCPU=4 -c "resource provider" -f value | wc -l 228
Starting a new vm on that host shows the following in the logs:
Placement-api.log

I really can’t figure out where this, what’s seems to be last minute, calculation of used resources comes from.
Given you also have an Ussuri deployment, you could call the nova-audit command to see whether you would have orphaned allocations : nova-manage placement audit [--verbose] [--delete] [--resource_provider <uuid>]
When running this command, it says the UUID does not exist.
Thank you! I truly appreciate everyones help.
