Basing on your architecture picture , I think you mean ping VM that resides on Essex 2 from server containing Essex 1I had a similar networking problem and i honestly don't know i fixed it ( didn't enable tunneling) , this is what i did1- ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.02- dhclient br-int ( normally the bridge will take the address of eth0)
and pinging went back to working fine but i am still testing if there are any side effectsTry it out and txt me !
btw , i used your ubuntu 12.04 LTS cloud img and i can't seem to ping it but when i choose another image ( the default tty for example) it ping as a charm , probably you should pick another image !

Ok :

I know where is the problem but I dont know yet how to fix it :





- Quantum creates TAP interface on ESSEX-2



- From ESSEX-2, I can't ping VMs on ESSEX-1





Here my ovs_quantum_plugin.ini :



[DATABASE]

sql_connection = mysql://ovs_quantum:password@10.68.1.40:3306/ovs_quantum





[OVS]

integration-bridge = br-int





[AGENT]

root_helper = sudo







Do we need enable bridge ?

    èmm , can you do this on your instance : nova show %instance_Id so that i may see the problem in the resume of spawning ?


    and are you sure you have enough fixed ip addresses left for use ?

    

    The configuration of nova and quantum is almost the same as me and the instances are getting Fixed Ips without any problem !

    All seems alright but not working yet.

    

    

    http://paste.openstack.org/show/14791/

    

    

    

    I have executed on both servers :

    

    ovs-vsctl add-port br-int eth1

    

    

    Need I do something else ?

    

    How the DHCP is working in this case ?

        Then the problem isn't in the instance but in the nova-network service , please check if it is working well 

        as well as give us the output log when you attempt to create a new instance.

            Hi,

            

            

            As I told you, I have also a problem for instance IP assignement.

            

            

            My architecture :

            

            I use Quantum with OVS plugin on 2 servers Essex-1 & Essex-2. Essex-1 runs all services and Essex-2 runs OVS, Quantum-agent & nova-compute only.

            

            You can see more details here.

            

            My configurations files are here and in my documentation.

            

            

            

            Problem Description :

            

            When an instance is created in ESSEX-1, all is working (network).

            

            But when the VM is started on ESSEX-2, it does not get an IP address. (log file)

            

            I'm sure the problem comes from OVS connection with ESSEX-1.

            

            

            Do I need to configure something like a trunk or a tunnel between Essex-1 & Essex-2 ?

            

            I miss something in my configuration, if you have any idea...

            

            

            Regards

                It may help if you can share the log of your launched instance as well. There is a possibility that we both are having the same issue. 

                Netstack developers can give a definitive answer to this, but it would be interesting to learn what goes wrong with a launched instance.

                    Regarding L3 gateway, I believe its not necessary to have one (as the VM hasn't obtained an IP right now, so it can't talk to anything outside its net), but I am not sure.

                    Regarding your problem, do you see any DHCP responses from the DHCP server ? I am asking this because I was having a similar problem earlier where I was getting assigned an IP address no in my desired fixed_network and I believe that was cause by another interfering DHCP server that was replying to discover messages before the nova-network could. 

                    

                
                Here my nova.conf and I don't have any interfering DHCP server :

                    Hi Salman,

                    

                    

                    I'm thinking about a networking issue. Where is your L3 gateway in this architecture ? Maybe do you need an ip helper tool to redirect DHCP broadcast ?

                    

                    

                    What do you think about my problem (follow up to my last e-mail) ?

                    

                    

                    Thanks

                        Hi,

                        

                        Here is the error log: http://pastebin.com/KrNZDrvD

                        and nova.conf: http://pastebin.com/Fvd6dSZs

                        

                        Emilien, I am trying to get an understanding of how different Quantum plugins work with OpenStack. Ryu plugin is particularly interesting as it uses an OpenFlow controller to configure Vswitches.

                        

                        The problem I am faced with is  (I think ) that I already have a private network and Quantum should assign IP addresses to instances using DHCP. But instances send out discover message on laucnh but never find a DHCP server (although there are 2 dnsmasqs running). 

                        

                        Any ideas?

                            Hi,

                            

                            

                            I have a similar problem when I create a network per project_id with Quantum.

                            

                            

                            My VMs don't get IP and I can't understand why today.

                            

                            But when I create a private network for all projects, VMs get an IP and all is working well.

                            Do you have the same problem ?

                            

                            

                            Salman, I'm interesting about your nova.conf. I can see you are using Ryu ?

                            Can you tell me more about your "use case" or architecture ?

                                Thanks for looking into the post.

                                I have made changes to the nova.conf file so that I only use 10.0.0.x network (but the problem is still the same). For this configuration, I assume that it will give out IPs to instances starting from 10.0.0.11. And just to inform you, my eth1 is configured to be 10.0.0.10 (which is a VM itself, and eth1 is configured as a host-only network with no DHCP) and this interface is plugged in the integration bridge used by quantum plugins.

                                

                                Thanks,

                                Can you attach a nova network conf?
