In bare metal case this error happens much more often, we are adding a new troubleshooting document and add it as part of this new document. Change-Id: I155b5c7160fbefe61c6a7bcdc5aa51452c8b8ab7 Closes-bug: #1503735

Nova returns "No valid host was found" Error
|
|
============================================
|
|
|
|
Sometimes Nova Conductor log file "nova-conductor.log" or a message returned
|
|
from Nova API contains the following error::
|
|
|
|
NoValidHost: No valid host was found. There are not enough hosts available.
|
|
|
|
"No valid host was found" means that the Nova Scheduler could not find a bare
|
|
metal node suitable for booting the new instance.
|
|
|
|
This in turn usually means some mismatch between resources that Nova expects
|
|
to find and resources that Ironic advertised to Nova.
|
|
|
|
A few things should be checked in this case:
|
|
|
|
#. Inspection should have succeeded for you before, or you should have
|
|
entered the required Ironic node properties manually. For each node with
|
|
available state in ``ironic node-list --provision-state available`` use
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
ironic node-show <IRONIC-NODE-UUID>
|
|
|
|
and make sure that ``properties`` JSON field has valid values for keys
|
|
``cpus``, ``cpu_arch``, ``memory_mb`` and ``local_gb``.
|
|
|
|
#. The Nova flavor that you are using does not match any properties of the
|
|
available Ironic nodes. Use
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
nova flavor-show <FLAVOR NAME>
|
|
|
|
to compare. If you're using exact match filters in Nova Scheduler, please
|
|
make sure the flavor and the node properties match exactly. Regarding
|
|
the extra specs in flavor, you should make sure they map to
|
|
``node.properties['capabilities']``.
|
|
|
|
#. Make sure that enough nodes are in ``available`` state according to
|
|
``ironic node-list --provision-state available``.
|
|
|
|
#. Make sure nodes you're going to deploy to are not in maintenance mode.
|
|
Again, use ``ironic node-list`` to check. A node automatically going to
|
|
maintenance mode usually means wrong power credentials for this node. Check
|
|
them and then remove maintenance mode::
|
|
|
|
ironic node-set-maintenance <IRONIC-NODE-UUID> off
|
|
|
|
#. After making changes to nodes in Ironic, it takes time for those changes
|
|
to propagate from Ironic to Nova.
|
|
Check that
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
nova hypervisor-stats
|
|
|
|
correctly shows total amount of resources in your system. You can also
|
|
check ``nova hypervisor-list`` to see the status of individual Ironic
|
|
nodes as reported to Nova. And you can correlate the Nova "hypervisor
|
|
hostname" to the Ironic node UUID.
|
|
|
|
#. If none of the above helped, check Ironic conductor log carefully to see
|
|
if there are any conductor-related errors which are the root cause for
|
|
"No valid host was found". If there are any "Error in deploy of node
|
|
<IRONIC-NODE-UUID>: [Errno 28] ..." error messages in Ironic conductor
|
|
log, it means the conductor run into a special error during deployment.
|
|
So you can check the log carefully to fix or work around and then try
|
|
again.
