You should check your cell mapping records inside Nova. They're probably not right of you moved your database and rabbit
Sorry for top posting this is from a phone.

PS I presume the problem is neutron, because instances on new kvm nodes remain in building state e do not aquire address. Probably the netron db imported from old openstack installation has some difrrences ....probably I must check defferences from old and new neutron services configuration files. Ignazio

It sounds like you got quite close to having this working. I'd suggest debugging this instance build failure. One difference with kolla is that we run libvirt inside a container. Have you stopped libvirt from running on the host? Mark

Hi Mark, let me to explain what I am trying. I have a queens installation based on centos and pacemaker with some
instances and heat stacks.
I would like to have another installation with same instances,
projects, stacks ....I'd like to have same uuid for all objects (users,projects instances and so on, because it is controlled by a cloud management platform we wrote.
I stopped controllers on old queens installation backupping the
openstack database.
I installed the new kolla openstack queens on new three controllers
with same addresses of the old intallation , vip as well.
One of the three controllers is also a kvm node on queens. I stopped all containeres except rabbit,keepalive,rabbit,haproxy and
mariadb.
I deleted al openstack db on mariadb container and I imported the old
tables, changing the address of rabbit for pointing to the new rabbit cluster.
I restarded containers. Changing the rabbit address on old kvm nodes, I can see the old virtual
machines and I can open console on them.
I can see all networks (tenant and provider) of al installation, but
when I try to create a new instance on the new kvm, it remains in buiding state.
Seems it cannot aquire an address. Storage between old and new installation are shred on nfs NETAPP, so I
can see cinder volumes.
I suppose db structure is different between a kolla installation and a
manual instaltion !?
What is wrong ? Thanks Ignazio

Sorry, for my question. It does not need to change anything because endpoints refer to
haproxy vips.
So if your new glance works fine you change haproxy backends for
glance.
Regards Ignazio
That's correct - only the haproxy backend needs to be updated.

Hello Mark, let me to verify if I understood your method.
You have old controllers,haproxy,mariadb and nova computes. You installed three new controllers but kolla.ansible inventory
contains old mariadb and old rabbit servers.
You are deployng single service on new controllers staring with
glance.
When you deploy glance on new controllers, it changes the glance
endpoint on old mariadb db ?
