<title>Troubleshoot Compute</title>
|
|
<para>Common problems for Compute typically involve misconfigured
|
|
networking or credentials that are not sourced properly in the
|
|
environment. Also, most flat networking configurations do not
|
|
enable <command>ping</command> or <command>ssh</command> from
|
|
a compute node to the instances that run on that node. Another
|
|
common problem is trying to run 32-bit images on a 64-bit
|
|
compute node. This section shows you how to troubleshoot
|
|
Compute.</para>

<section xml:id="log-files-for-openstack-compute">

|
<title>Compute service logging</title>
|
|
<para>Compute stores a log file for each service in
|
|
<filename>/var/log/nova</filename>. For example,
|
|
<filename>nova-compute.log</filename> is the log for
|
|
the <systemitem class="service">nova-compute</systemitem>
|
|
service. You can set the following options to format log
|
|
strings for the nova.log module in the
|
|
<filename>nova.conf</filename> file:</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem>
|
|
<para><literal>logging_default_format_string</literal></para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
<para>If the log level is set to <literal>debug</literal>, you
|
|
can also specify
|
|
<literal>logging_debug_format_suffix</literal> to
|
|
append extra formatting. For information about what
|
|
variables are available for the formatter see: <link
|
|
xlink:href="http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#formatter"
|
|
>http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html#formatter</link>.</para>
|
|
<para>You have two options for logging for OpenStack Compute
|
|
based on configuration settings. In
|
|
<filename>nova.conf</filename>, include the
|
|
<literal>logfile</literal> option to enable logging.
|
|
Alternatively you can set <literal>use_syslog = 1</literal>
|
|
so that the nova daemon logs to syslog.</para>

<title>Guru Meditation reports</title>
|
|
<para>A Guru Meditation report is sent by the Compute Service upon receipt of the

<systemitem>SIGUSR1</systemitem> signal. This report is a general-purpose error
|

report, including a complete report of the service's current state, and is sent to

<systemitem>stderr</systemitem>.</para>

|
<para>For example, if you redirect error output to <filename>nova-api-err.log</filename>
|

using <command>nova-api 2>/var/log/nova/nova-api-err.log</command>, resulting in the

process ID 8675, you can then run:</para>

<para>Sometimes a particular instance shows

<literal>pending</literal> or you cannot SSH to

|
it. Sometimes the image itself is the problem. For
|
|
example, when you use flat manager networking, you do
|
|
not have a DHCP server and certain images do not
|
|
support interface injection; you cannot connect to
|
|
them. The fix for this problem is to use an image that
|
|
does support this method, such as Ubuntu, which
|
|
obtains an IP address correctly with FlatManager
|
|
network settings.</para>
|
|
<para>To troubleshoot other possible problems with an

instance, such as an instance that stays in a spawning

<para>You can view the log output of running instances

<para>This occurs when the Compute service attempts to

<title>Reset the state of an instance</title>

<para>If an instance remains in an intermediate state, such as

<command>nova reset-state</command> command to

manually reset the state of an instance to an error state.

You can then delete the instance. For example:</para>

<para>You can also use the <parameter>--active</parameter>
|
|
parameter to force the instance back to an active state
|
|
instead of an error state. For example:</para>
