I can access the internet from my instance no problem. "- you might not have a neutron metadata-agent & proxy configured and running" This one might be the issue. Where should I look to configure this? ________________________________ From: Robert Collins <robertc at robertcollins.net> To: Jake G. <dj_dark_junglist at yahoo.com> Cc: OpenStack Maillist <openstack at lists.launchpad.net> Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2013 5:55 PM Subject: Re: [Openstack] Cloud-init Fails - No route to host.

The cloud-init address is used for dynamic configuration of your instances. Reasons it might fail: - you might not have a neutron metadata-agent & proxy configured and running - your networking might be misconfigured : if instance networking doesn't come up, you'll see that error. I suspect the latter issue is the problem. -- Robert Collins <rbtcollins at hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Cloud Services -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
