<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_context_format_string</literal></para>

|
<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>
|
|
<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>kill -USR1 8675</userinput></screen>
|
|
<para>This command triggers the Guru Meditation report to be printed to
|
|
<filename>/var/log/nova/nova-api-err.log</filename>.</para>
|

<para>The report has the following sections:
|

<itemizedlist>

<listitem><para>Package — Displays information about the package to which

the process belongs, including version information.</para></listitem>

<title>Instance errors</title>

<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

state, check the directory for the particular instance

under <filename>/var/lib/nova/instances</filename> on

the <systemitem class="service"

successfully download the images from the Image

Service.</para>

<para>Also check <filename>nova-compute.log</filename> for

exceptions. Sometimes they do not appear in the

console output.</para>
|

<para>Next, check the log file for the instance in the

directory to see if it exists and has any useful error
|

messages in it.</para>

<title>Empty log output for Linux instances</title>
|

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

from either the <guilabel>Log</guilabel> tab of the
|
|
dashboard or the output of
|
|
<command>nova console-log</command>. In some cases, the

only display a single character (for example,

the <keycap>?</keycap> character).</para>
|

<para>This occurs when the Compute service attempts to

retrieve the log output of the instance via a serial

console while the instance itself is not configured to

send output to the console. To rectify this, append the

following parameters to kernel arguments specified in the

instance's boot loader:</para>

<section xml:id="reset-state">
|
|
<title>Reset the state of an instance</title>
|
|
<para>If an instance remains in an intermediate state, such as

<literal>deleting</literal>, you can use the
|
|
<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>
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova reset-state c6bbbf26-b40a-47e7-8d5c-eb17bf65c485</userinput>

<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova delete c6bbbf26-b40a-47e7-8d5c-eb17bf65c485</userinput></screen>
|
|
<para>You can also use the <parameter>--active</parameter>
|
|
parameter to force the instance back to an active state
|
|
instead of an error state. For example:</para>
|
|
<screen><prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>nova reset-state --active c6bbbf26-b40a-47e7-8d5c-eb17bf65c485</userinput></screen>
