Newbie to GCE. I created an VM instance. I successfully RDP'd to the instance and successfully retrieved metadata. I then created an image from this instance. Then created a new instance from my image. But I can't ping or RDP into the new instance. I deleted everything and performed these steps again but still have the same problem.
This is a Windows instance. I know that Windows instances can take a while to start up. I tried for well over half an hour just in case.
Any ideas what might be wrong ?
Thanks,
Peter
I seem to have found the issue. The problem occurred when I ran the standard sysprep command (windows\system32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe) to ready my disk for image creation. Once I tried gcesysprep instead, it worked. I found this command down in the snapshot help (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks#create-snapshot-windows).

I'm currently trying to develop a cloud in my pc using virtual box. The idea is that I have 2 virtual machines, one which devstack installed (all in one) and the other with osm mano. Right now both have everything installed. Hence, I can log in to mano via user and password 'admin' as well as to devstack.
Current properties:
VM1 (devstack): IP (enp0s8) -> 192.168.56.101
Login to 192.168.56.101 -> correct
VM2 (mano): IP (enp0s8) -> 192.168.56.105
Login to 192.168.56.105 -> correct
As some of you may guess, I have 2 network interfaces in every vm, the first one being NAT (enp0s3 with 10.0.2.15 IP) and the second one being Host Only (192.168.56.x according to virtual box).
Needless to say, I can ping from one virtual machine to another without any problem.
Now, in the past I've being using devstack (ubuntu 18.04) in order to play with it a little bit, learn how to deploy instances, create groups and so on. Indeed, I developed a topology with an instance as a router and nagios as the monitoring tool system. It worked and I learnt a lot!
Anyway, what I want in this case is starting from scratch (scratch meaning having downloaded mano and devstack but without going further). So here I am, trying to integrate OSM with Devstack, making use of osm-vim command as it is:
osm vim-create --name openstack-site --user admin --password my_openstack_password --auth_url http://192.168.56.101:5000/v3 --tenant admin --account_type openstack
In this case, my openrc file (downloaded from horizon) resulted in my auth_url being:
export OS_AUTH_URL=http://192.168.56.101:5000/v3
What I'm trying to get my head into is how it's possible that this doesn't work, as whenever I log-in to mano web interface (after osm-vim command) I go to VIM accounts and operational state equals to "error".
Any kind of help would be much appreciated, as I've being struggling for a week now.
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem. At the beginning I thought It was a network problem, but finally I found out It was due to a SSL problem. The most easy solution is to put a specific flag to avoid the SSL verification until the developers fix it. "--config '{insecure: True}'"
I also encountered this problem when I finished installing OSM-10 and OpenStack-Ussuri for Ubuntu18.04 some days ago. I solved this problem by change the url "--auth_url http//:192.168.23.18:5000/v3" to "-- auth_url http//:controller:5000/v3" and put "192.168.23.18 controller" in the ro container "/etc/hosts". The "controller" here is the host name where you install your openstack and which is used is your keystone authentication urls. Maybe you also have solved this problem but this problem is so troublesome and I hope more people do not be annoyed at this~
I'm getting the following error intermittently when making a call from my ASP.Net MVC web application which is using Dapper to query MySQL.
Unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts.
The exception only occurs when my web app is published to Azure. It has worked 100% of the time when I run the code locally. I've deployed the code to a second azure website, and also get the exception there, again intermittently.
The MySQL database is running on an Azure VM (Ubuntu). This server also has some R scripts that access the database, which are being run at a set interval. I've had no connectivity issue with these either. It is just the .Net code that's struggling.
I've scoured the web, but don't feel like I've turned up anything of value. Most of the links have pointed to a connection string problem, but since it works intermittently that doesn't seem to fit my problem. Some links have referenced DNS issues, but I'm getting the same problem when I use the IP Address instead of the machine name for the DNS server.
I'm sure I need to track down more information, but I'm not sure where it would be. This is my first foray into using a MySQL db in this fashion, and I'm not familiar with config options or log files on that side of things. I feel similarly about Azure websites with database interactions too.
What can I try next?
Just to drive home the point about this error being intermittent, here's a screenshot from the Runscope job that's hitting the page (thus triggering the MySQL query) every 5 minutes:
I was able to fix (or perhaps "circumvent") this problem by adding the --skip-host-cache flag to our mysql configuration file. I still don't fully understand what the root of the problem is, but we haven't had any issues with MySQL connectivity from the Azure website since adding that.
I'm trying to clone an instance Centos based and in a load balancing pool. As soon as I click "create" I see the yellow baloon saying "creating instance...." but I don't see the task running in the Activities Windows and the message "creating instance..." freeze for ever.
So I tried creating the instance starting from a snapshot of the original instance but the result is the same. I'm not sure if something happened in the project or the problem is related to the fact the the instance is in a pool of the loadbalancer. Thank you.
This is the screenshot:
Recently I installed openstack trove using the automated script (devstack). After it is installed successfully and creating some user and projects, I manged to create a database instance and database inside it. unfortunately every database instance that I am going to build (via command line or horizon dashboard) trove gave me error status. Therefore when I tried to create database inside each of created database instance I stock with database instance is not ready.
I did some google and some people mentioned that I should check nova-compute.log, but unfortunately I did not find this log file. Would you please guide me?
Regards.
If you are running devstack it creates a screen session for all the services and it contains the logs. Try running "screen -x" to attach to the screen session and you can view the logs from there. Each window within the screen session is a separate service running.
If you had an issue creating an instance from trove it maybe because the image you are using is not setup correctly for trove because it needs the trove guest agent installed and a configuration for the guest agent baked in the image.
We have a repo that uses devstack to create a development trove installation that might be of use to test things out. This readme should help getting you started.

I am trying to customize the default AMI of beanstalk, but everytime I get server restarts after some random time. I went so far as not to change anything, but nothing works.
I have tried the following:
find the instance of running beanstalk, create AMI, modify the AMI of beanstalk-crashing
create new instance with same AMI as on beanstalk, create AMI, modify configuration-crashing
I have tried both stopping the instance before creating AMI, and creating AMI of running instance.
Edit: I found the answer here: Can't generate a working customized EC2 AMI from Amazon Beanstalk sample appl
From personal experience, place the health status page to point to a dummy, static .html file. Although not recommended, this will prevent the health checks from restarting the machine and you could make more inside inspection.
AWS captures into the S3 logs only the ones output via java.util.logging. It means all console logging is not transferred.
That said, make sure you define an private key in your environment config, so you could ssh to it easily and see its output (it changes - for Tomcat 7, it is at /opt/tomcat7. For tomcat6, it is under /usr/share/tomcat6)
Just to add to what aldrinleal wrote (can't comment yet): In the past, I would often find a failed Healthcheck would also disable my site. By which I mean: If you have the health check on your actual app and that app threw an exception, you wouldn't actually get to see anything, the environment would just report a failed state. Only after I changed to a static file for the health check, did I manage to see the errors.
Now I obviously this is more a problem with a dev environment and you can always just pull the logs. But especially in the beginning as someone new to AWS/Beanstalk this helped me a lot.
