11.4. Troubleshooting IP Address Conflicts on the Provisioning Network
Discovery and deployment tasks will fail if the destination hosts are allocated an IP address which is already in use. To avoid this issue, you can perform a port scan of the Provisioning network to determine whether the discovery IP range and host IP range are free.
Perform the following steps from the Undercloud host:
Procedure 11.5. Identify active IP addresses
- Install
nmap
:# yum install nmap
- Use
nmap
to scan the IP address range for active addresses. This example scans the192.0.2.0/24
range, replace this with the IP subnet of the Provisioning network (using CIDR bitmask notation):# nmap -sn 192.0.2.0/24
- Review the output of the
nmap
scan:For example, you should see the IP address(es) of the Undercloud, and any other hosts that are present on the subnet. If any of the active IP addresses conflict with the IP ranges inundercloud.conf
, you will need to either change the IP address ranges or free up the IP addresses before introspecting or deploying the Overcloud nodes.# nmap -sn 192.0.2.0/24 Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2015-10-02 15:14 EDT Nmap scan report for 192.0.2.1 Host is up (0.00057s latency).
