[Openstack] Not able to get IP address for VM

To test if it's running, you can check if the metadata process is running,
then you can also use the solution Daniel suggested.

To check if VMs ar able to access metadata, I think you have to connect
from the address that is registered as legitimate network in nova. VMs try
to connect to address 169.254.169.254 to recieve information provided by
metadata service. This address is non routable address, so you must have
iptables NAT rules that will rewrite it to the proper destination of
nova-metadata service address(server IP where metadata service is running),
if things are done properly then these rules must be in place already,
added by nova.

If you manage to get inside VM, you can run this command:
curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4

to check if you can get to metadata.

As I can see from your config, you are using Quantum, then you can just run:
nc -v 169.254.169.254 80
from dhcp net namespace of your fixed network. To debug it further, run
tcpdump on every namespace involved to find out how far the packets go.

And make sure that you have your network topology setup as in docs:
