Chapter 6. Troubleshooting

download PDF

This chapter contains logging and support information to assist with troubleshooting your Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployment.

6.1. Support

If client commands fail or you run into other issues, contact Red Hat Technical Support with a description of what happened, the full console output, all log files referenced in the console output, and an sosreport from the node that is (or might be) in trouble. For example, if you encounter a problem on the compute level, run sosreport on the Nova node, or if it is a networking issue, run the utility on the Neutron node. For general deployment issues, it is best to run sosreport on the cloud controller.

For information about the sosreport command (sos package), refer to What is a sosreport and how to create one in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 and later.

Check also the /var/log/messages file for any hints.

6.2. Troubleshoot Identity Client (keystone) Connectivity Problems

When the Identity client (keystone) is unable to contact the Identity service it returns an error:

Unable to communicate with identity service: [Errno 113] No route to host. (HTTP 400)

To debug the issue check for these common causes:

Identity service is down

Identity Service now runs within httpd.service. On the system hosting the Identity service, check the service status:

# systemctl status httpd.service

If the service is not active then log in as the root user and start it.

# systemctl start httpd.service
Firewall is not configured properly
The firewall might not be configured to allow TCP traffic on ports 5000 and 35357. If so, see Managing the Overcloud Firewall in the Advanced Overcloud Customization guide for instructions on checking your firewall settings and defining custom rules.
Service Endpoints not defined correctly

On the system hosting the Identity service check that the endpoints are defined correctly.

  1. Obtain the administration token:

    # grep admin_token /etc/keystone/keystone.conf
    admin_token = 91f0866234a64fc299db8f26f8729488
  2. Determine the correct administration endpoint for the Identity service:

    http://IP:35357/VERSION

    Replace IP with the IP address or host name of the system hosting the Identity service. Replace VERSION with the API version (v2.0, or v3) that is in use.

  3. Unset any pre-defined Identity service related environment variables:

    # unset OS_USERNAME OS_TENANT_NAME OS_PASSWORD OS_AUTH_URL
  4. Use the administration token and endpoint to authenticate with the Identity service. Confirm that the Identity service endpoint is correct. For example:

    # openstack endpoint list --os-token=91f0556234a64fc299db8f26f8729488 --os-url=https://osp.lab.local:35357/v3/  --os-identity-api-version 3

    Verify that the listed publicurl, internalurl, and adminurl for the Identity service are correct. In particular ensure that the IP addresses and port numbers listed within each endpoint are correct and reachable over the network.

    If these values are incorrect, add the correct endpoint and remove any incorrect endpoints using the endpoint delete action of the openstack command. For example:

    # openstack endpoint delete 2d32fa6feecc49aab5de538bdf7aa018  --os-token=91f0866234a64fc299db8f26f8729488 --os-url=https://osp.lab.local:35357/v3/ --os-identity-api-version 3

    Replace TOKEN and ENDPOINT with the values identified previously. Replace ID with the identity of the endpoint to remove as listed by the endpoint-list action.

6.3. Troubleshoot OpenStack Networking Issues

This section discusses the different commands you can use and procedures you can follow to troubleshoot the OpenStack Networking service issues.

Debugging Networking Device
  • Use the ip a command to display all the physical and virtual devices.
  • Use the ovs-vsctl show command to display the interfaces and bridges in a virtual switch.
  • Use the ovs-dpctl show command to show datapaths on the switch.
Tracking Networking Packets
  • Use the tcpdump command to see where packets are not getting through.

    # tcpdump -n -i INTERFACE -e -w FILENAME

    Replace INTERFACE with the name of the network interface to see where the packets are not getting through. The interface name can be the name of the bridge or host Ethernet device.

    The -e flag ensures that the link-level header is dumped (in which the vlan tag will appear).

    The -w flag is optional. You can use it only if you want to write the output to a file. If not, the output is written to the standard output (stdout).

    For more information about tcpdump, refer to its manual page by running man tcpdump.

Debugging Network Namespaces
  • Use the ip netns list command to list all known network namespaces.
  • Use the ip netns exec command to show routing tables inside specific namespaces.

    # ip netns exec NAMESPACE_ID bash
    # route -n

    Start the ip netns exec command in a bash shell so that subsequent commands can be invoked without the ip netns exec command.

6.4. Troubleshoot Networks and Routes Tab Display Issues in the Dashboard

The Networks and Routers tabs only appear in the dashboard when the environment is configured to use OpenStack Networking. In particular note that by default the PackStack utility currently deploys Nova Networking and as such in environments deployed in this manner the tab will not be visible.

If OpenStack Networking is deployed in the environment but the tabs still do not appear ensure that the service endpoints are defined correctly in the Identity service, that the firewall is allowing access to the endpoints, and that the services are running.

6.5. Troubleshoot Instance Launching Errors in the Dashboard

When using the dashboard to launch instances if the operation fails, a generic ERROR message is displayed. Determining the actual cause of the failure requires the use of the command line tools.

Use the nova list command to locate the unique identifier of the instance. Then use this identifier as an argument to the nova show command. One of the items returned will be the error condition. The most common value is NoValidHost.

This error indicates that no valid host was found with enough available resources to host the instance. To work around this issue, consider choosing a smaller instance size or increasing the overcommit allowances for your environment.

Note

To host a given instance, the compute node must have not only available CPU and RAM resources but also enough disk space for the ephemeral storage associated with the instance.

6.6. Troubleshoot Keystone v3 Dashboard Authentication

django_openstack_auth is a pluggable Django authentication back end, that works with Django’s contrib.auth framework, to authenticate a user against the OpenStack Identity service API. Django_openstack_auth uses the token object to encapsulate user and Keystone related information. The dashboard uses the token object to rebuild the Django user object.

The token object currently stores:

  • Keystone token
  • User information
  • Scope
  • Roles
  • Service catalog

The dashboard uses Django’s sessions framework for handling user session data. The following is a list of numerous session back ends available, which are controlled through the SESSION_ENGINE setting in your local_settings.py file:

  • Local Memory Cache
  • Memcached
  • Database
  • Cached Database
  • Cookies

In some cases, particularly when a signed cookie session back end is used and, when having many or all services enabled all at once, the size of cookies can reach its limit and the dashboard can fail to log in. One of the reasons for the growth of cookie size is the service catalog. As more services are registered, the bigger the size of the service catalog would be.

In such scenarios, to improve the session token management, include the following configuration settings for logging in to the dashboard, especially when using Keystone v3 authentication.

  1. In /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/settings.py add the following configuration:

    DATABASES =
    {
      'default':
      {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'horizondb',
        'USER': 'User Name',
        'PASSWORD': 'Password',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
       }
    }
  2. In the same file, change SESSION_ENGINE to:

    SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cached_db'
  3. Connect to the database service using the mysql command, replacing USER with the user name by which to connect. The USER must be a root user (or at least as a user with the correct permission: create db).

    # mysql -u USER -p
  4. Create the Horizon database.

    mysql > create database horizondb;
  5. Exit the mysql client.

    mysql > exit
  6. Change to the openstack_dashboard directory and sync the database using:

    # cd /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard
    $ ./manage.py syncdb

    You do not need to create a superuser, so answer 'n' to the question.

  7. Restart Apache http server. For Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

    # systemctl restart httpd
