Hi Leandro,

I will try to summarize where we are, may be there something that can help
you.

All the issues we are finding comes because we split the network traffic in
different networks on different NICs. So the nova-network node has three
NICs:

eth0 ---> Public Network Traffic (109.x.y.z)
eth1 ---> Management Network Traffic (10.x.y.z)
eth2 ---> Service Network (no IP configured)

The first problem we found was that by default eth0 becomes the 'my_ip'
value at boot time if you don't specify it manually in the nova
configuration file (nova-network.conf in Stackops distro). So you need to
explicitly write the Management IP (eth1) value of nova-network in 'my_ip'.
Otherwise the iptables rules won't work.

But this is not the only problem. Now you have communication from the
virtual machines to the metadata server (actually the nova-api), but we
always get a HTTP 500 error. Hugo's rule does not work, probably there is
something we are missing.

Here goes the iptables-save of my nova-network node:

of course, any help will be welcomed ;-)

The nova-controller where the nova-api runs has two NICs:

eth0 ---> Public Network Traffic (109.x.y.z)
eth1 ---> Management Network Traffic (10.x.y.z)

I changed the my_ip to eth1 IP value. The default gateway in this network is
in the Public network. No gateway for Management Network.

Regards
Diego
