Hi:

I have been reading the conversation between Lorin and Christian about nova-network HA, and I have a question that maybe one of them can answer me... or maybe any member of this group :-) :-)

This is my environment: 

2 ubuntu servers, essex and VLAN networking: 
- 1 controller with nova-network, glance, keystone, nova-api, nova-scheduler but NOT nova-compute
- 1 node: nova-compute only

In this configuration all my VM are going to be launched in the node since there is no nova-compute running in my controller. When I try to launch a VM appears a problem whith my network. I think that is because there is no nova-network installed in the node. Bridge and VLAN interfaces are created in the controller but they are not created in the node.

My question is: it is necessary to install nova-network in all compute nodes??

Thanks a lot.

Chris: 


Have you seen the HA docs? http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/existing-ha-networking-options.html


If you set multi_host=True in your nova.conf, then nova will work properly with multiple nova-network services. But I've only done this with one nova-network service running on each compute host, I don't know how/if it would work if you had only two nova-network services running.


Take care,


Lorin

Hi all, 


due to the fact, that I cannot provide all compute nodes with public IPs (allowing us
to run nova-network on each compute node), we're having one (or two in fact) frontend
node doing the public network traffic work.


So, how can I make a single nova-network node highly available?
It would be fine to have some vrrpd/keepalived enabled node, that then
starts/stops the sensible services (like nova-network) in question.


However, does this work well with nova-network?
Will this produce some noticable delay in availability when the active master goes down
and until the current slave has fully become the master (with nova-network being started up)?
How does this affect the nova environment.
Especially, thinking of the `nova-manage service list` output, where only one nova-network instance
ought to be then, but in HA mode, we are to have at least 2 then. How well does Nova play with that?


Thanks in advance,
Christian Parpart.
