That bug was mostly targeting vlan provider networks but you mentioned you using geneve and flat networks so this might not be related.
Multiple components involved so it would be difficult to narrow it down here without much details as functionality wise it would have just worked(in my Train OVN environment i checked it worked fine). So I think it would be best to start with a bug report at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/ with details(by reverting the env to previous state bridges, ovn-cms options configured and DVR enabled). Good to include details like:-
- Environment details:-
- Number of controller, computes nodes
- Nodes are virtual or physical
- Deployment tool used, Operating System
- Neutron version
- OVN/OVS versions
- Share ovn-controller logs from the compute and controller node
- Share OVN Northbound and Southbound DB files from the controller node and ovs conf.db from compute nodes
- Output of resources involved:-
- openstack network agent list
- openstack server list --long
- openstack port list --router <router id>
- Reproduction steps along with output from the operations(both with good and bad vms)
- Output of below commands from controller and compute nodes:-
- iptables -L
- netstat -i
- ip addr show
- ovs-vsctl show
- ovs-vsctl list open .
If I remove the provider bridge from the second hypervisor:
ovs-vsctl remove open . external-ids
ovn-cms-options="enable-chassis-as-gw"
ovs-vsctl remove open . external-ids ovn-bridge-mappings
ip link set br-provider down
ovs-vsctl del-br br-provider
and disable
enable_distributed_floating_ip
Then both VMs using SNAT on each compute server work.
This looks interesting. Would be good to also check the behavior when no VM has FIP attached.
Turning the second chassis back on as a gateway immediately breaks
the VM on the second compute server:
ovs-vsctl set open .
external-ids:ovn-cms-options=enable-chassis-as-gw
ovs-vsctl add-br br-provider
ovs-vsctl set open .
external-ids:ovn-bridge-mappings=provider:br-provider
ovs-vsctl add-port br-provider ens256
systemctl restart ovn-controller openvswitch.service
Here it would be interesting to check where exactly traffic drops using tcpdump.
I am running neutron 22.0.1 but maybe something related?
python3-neutron-22.0.1-1.el9s.noarch
openstack-neutron-common-22.0.1-1.el9s.noarch
openstack-neutron-22.0.1-1.el9s.noarch

For comparison, I looked at how openstack-ansible was setting up
OVN and I don't see any major differences other than O-A

I don't believe this is the point of failure (but feel free to
correct me if I'm wrong ;) ).
ovn-trace on both VM's inports shows the same trace for the
working VM and the non-working VM. ie:
ovn-trace --db=$SB --ovs default_net 'inport ==
"f4cbc8c7-e7bf-47f3-9fea-a1663f6eb34d" &&
eth.src==fa:16:3e:a6:62:8e && ip4.src == 172.31.101.168
&& ip4.dst == <provider's gateway IP>'

Happy
Friday afternoon.
I'm still pondering a lack of connectivity in an HA OVN with
each compute node acting as a potential gateway chassis.
The problem is basically that the port of
the OVN LRP may not be in the same chassis as
the VM that failed (since the CR-LRP will be
where the first VM of that network will be
created). The suggestion is to remove the
enable-chassis-as-gw from the compute nodes to
allow the VM to forward traffic via
tunneling/Geneve to the chassis where the LRP
resides.
I forced a similar VM onto the same chassis as the
working VM, and it was able to communicate out. If
we do want to keep multiple chassis' as gateways,
would that be addressed with the ovn-bridge-mappings?
I built a small test cloud to explore this further as I continue
to see the same issue: A vm will only be able to use SNAT
outbound if it is on the same chassis as the CR-LRP.
In my test cloud, I have one controller, and two compute nodes.
The controller only runs the north and southd in addition to the
neutron server. Each of the two compute nodes is configured as
below. On a tenent network I have three VMs:
- #1: cirros VM with FIP
- #2: cirros VM running on compute node 1
- #3: cirros VM running on compute node 2
E/W traffic between VMs in the same tenent network are fine.
N/S traffic is fine for the FIP. N/S traffic only works for the
VM whose CR-LRP is active on same chassis. Does anything jump
out as a mistake in my understanding at to how this should be
working?
Thanks as always,
Gary
