Description AlbertoG 2015-08-21 12:10:52 UTC

Description of problem:

After deploying and removing several overclouds using the openstack director, one of the baremetal nodes is not cleared correctly and it still reports 1 instance and less memory available than the real one. This means that this node is not any longer valid for the nova ram filter when deploying new instances. This data is kept in memory, as the nova and ironic databases looked good and the problem can be solved just restarting the nova-scheduler service.

The error in Heat:
2015-08-21 06:25:08.838 3509 TRACE heat.engine.resource ResourceUnknownStatus: Resource failed - Unknown status FAILED due to "ResourceUnknownStatus: Resource failed - Unknown status FAILED due to "ResourceInError: Went to status ERROR due to "Message: No valid host was found. There are not enough hosts available., Code: 500"""

The error in nova shceduler:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
The error appears randomly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy and delete overclouds using Openstack director
2. 
3.

Actual results:
Even if the baremetal nodes are available some of them report that are still used, so new instances can't be scheduled on them.

Expected results:
Being able to deploy instances in the available baremetal nodes

Comment 3 Sylvain Bauza 2015-10-02 16:16:04 UTC

So, I'm trying to get a few more details.

Which version of Nova and Ironic are you running ? Per the bug, it says OSP8. Do you confirm ?

The error above comes from the fact that it *seems* that the Ironic node already holds an instance (hence the instance=1 and the memory/disk consumed). I just wonder why a scheduler restart fixes the problem.

In order to better understand, could I please have the nova-compute.log plus the nova-scheduler.log not truncated ? Ideally a sos-report would be great or if not possible, could you please also give me the nova.conf file

Thanks.

Hello Sylvain,

   I think this is a known issue and already has many BZ for this.   I didn't witness this nova-scheduler issue within the case but it seems like system with more than 256GB of RAM will report their memory_mb wrongly has if there was some kind of /1024 or /1000 division for sizes bigger than X .  In this case for instance, the systems are reporting 384MB of ram instead of 384000MB of RAM or so.  We can easily bypass this issue by ironic node-updating the affected node with the appropriate memory size.

Thank you very much,

David Hill
