Based on the log output I'd say that placement is setup properly (it's
responding to PUT/GET requests with 200/201 and seems fine).
I'd also say cells are setup fine - the instance was scheduled to the
compute host appropriately.

The errors look to be libvirt errors - is the libvirt service started
properly on the host? (as a start point).
Perhaps the libvirt setup bits in the install guide are incorrect or need
some additional steps there. I do know the group/service names and various
other things for libvirt changed with the newer libvirt version that is now
in UCA, but if this is a RDO install I'm not sure that is the same case.
