Open Stack

Hi Vincent,

Earlier we were doing installation using fuel-community-10.0 from following
link:
https://www.fuel-infra.org/#fuelget

For installation, we were following the steps ("If you choose installation
using pre-built ISO image") as mentioned in:
https://docs.openstack.org/developer/fuel-docs/userdocs/fuel-install-guide/install/install_install_fuel_master_node.html

To our surprise, we were not getting fuelmenu for the configurations and
when installation was getting done. It was not complete, no FUEL UI etc, no
network connectivity to machine whereas we had provided one of the NIC on
external NW. Problem was that we were not getting fuelmenu during
installation process to configure network setting etc. for smooth
installation.

Then we followed the steps ("If you choose installation using RPM packages
then follow the procedure described here") mentioned in the same link
mentioned above. On these steps, we faced the same cobbler sync failure
messages. To our doubt, it was definitely seems to be some issue with the
latest fuel RPM that we got as per the above mentioned steps.

We again switched back to installation from ISO image now knowing the
script for bootstrap. We let it went as it was going. Same problems were
there as faced earlier. But once installation was done, we ran *sudo
/usr/sbin/bootstrap_admin_node.sh *again. fuelmenu was there during
installation, we made sure network connectivity is up. Follow this:
https://docs.openstack.org/developer/fuel-docs/userdocs/fuel-install-guide/install/install_change_network_interface.html.
After this installation of FUEL master node was successful.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Amit
