Open Stack

Hullo
I’m trying to spin up a simple OS environment in  a single vm and think that I’m making some silly mistake, but cannot spot it. Any hints would be greatly expected. I’ve tried this on a couple of laptops, with the same result, so I suspect that it’s something to do with how I’ve set up my vm, but I cannot identify it. (I think that there may be a few other devstack issues, but I’ve got to get it working to log any bugs).

I’m using a vagrant box and VirtualBox on x86 Macs (Monterey), and the devstack install/build process. Everything seems to install, but when I try:

`openstack server create --flavor 42 --image cirros-0.5.2-x86_64-disk --nic net-id=2a1a4a3a-a47b-48bd-a7df-c90fc75a1c63 --security-group default wibble`

The network id is identified from this:

Using a public network fails with an error that this isn’t allowed.

With the private network above, the failure throws out the following errors.

I think that the vm has enough RAM, although there is minimal swap being used, but I think that this is not significant as there is much more RAM used for caching files.

Any obvious hints as to why the spin up fails to create the NIC - or somewhere to look for further and better details?
