Turns out it is max_limit in /etc/nova/nova.conf. From: Albert Braden <Albert.Braden@synopsys.com> Sent: Friday, December 20, 2019 9:41 AM To: openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org Subject: Is there a limit on the number of VMs returned by "openstack server list --all-projects" ? Running Rocky with a single cell; we have VMs that do not show up in "openstack server list -all-projects" I can see them with "openstack server show" or with "openstack server list -all-projects -host" or by sourcing the credentials for their project and then "openstack server list" If there is a limit on the number of results, that would explain it. Is anyone else seeing this? Here's an example: UUID: d3302d8d-3747-4665-b044-863c8d8a6855 Hostname: us01bctest-centos-57241-5 IP: 10.195.72.66 Project: vgcloud Network: vg-network root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# source admin-openrc root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# openstack server list --all-projects|grep 10.195.72.66 root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# source vg-openrc root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# openstack server list|grep 10.195.72.66 | d3302d8d-3747-4665-b044-863c8d8a6855 | us01bctest-centos-57241-5 | ACTIVE | vg-network=10.195.72.66 | QSC-P-CentOS6.6-19P1-v4 | s1.16cx120g | root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# source admin-openrc root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# openstack server show d3302d8d-3747-4665-b044-863c8d8a6855 +-------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | OS-DCF:diskConfig | MANUAL | | OS-EXT-AZ:availability_zone | nova | | OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:host | us01-p02-hv017 | | OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:hypervisor_hostname | us01-p02-hv017.internal.synopsys.com | | OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:instance_name | instance-000002b6 | | OS-EXT-STS:power_state | Running | | OS-EXT-STS:task_state | None | | OS-EXT-STS:vm_state | active | | OS-SRV-USG:launched_at | 2019-11-02T01:20:12.000000 | | OS-SRV-USG:terminated_at | None | | accessIPv4 | | | accessIPv6 | | | addresses | vg-network=10.195.72.66 | | config_drive | | | created | 2019-11-02T01:15:45Z | | flavor | s1.16cx120g (3cfd8fbc-55da-4c1d-a717-ed86d3a0219f) | | hostId | bf015a3f08917dfc7d7b4d9e429cbe714fcdd11ab788086062fe0eab | | id | d3302d8d-3747-4665-b044-863c8d8a6855 | | image | QSC-P-CentOS6.6-19P1-v4 (91497018-7b42-4448-aa2a-4c08fc9621ac) | | key_name | None | | name | us01bctest-centos-57241-5 | | progress | 0 | | project_id | 0b591e0864d04e6b8b6afa18a5a4a638 | | properties | BU='SCE', Farm='bctest', FarmProject='bnormal', Owner='joelg', Workspace='us01bctest-centos', project='BCTest' | | security_groups | name='default' | | status | ACTIVE | | updated | 2019-11-02T01:20:12Z | | user_id | 0df75a295783f2f7c3843642f3a170f500bbeb4c69806bfd53e166b772617bf4 | | volumes_attached | | +-------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# openstack server list --all-projects --host us01-p02-hv017|grep 10.195.72.66 | d3302d8d-3747-4665-b044-863c8d8a6855 | us01bctest-centos-57241-5 | ACTIVE | vg-network=10.195.72.66 | QSC-P-CentOS6.6-19P1-v4 | s1.16cx120g | root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~# openstack server list --all-projects|grep 10.195.72.66 root@us01odc-p02-ctrl1:~#
