Description Attila Darazs 2013-07-03 11:28:05 UTC
Title: Starting the Compute Services

Describe the issue:
The openstack-nova-compute service dies at start with this error, if we don't start the libvirtd service beforehand.

from /var/log/nova/compute.log:
2013-07-03 13:18:28.631 16459 TRACE nova.virt.libvirt.driver libvirtError: Failed to connect socket to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock': No such file or directory

Suggestions for improvement:
do this before starting it:
# service libvirtd start
# chkconfig libvirtd on

Comment 2 Stephen Gordon 2013-07-17 14:47:15 UTC
Injected after messagebus start and before nova start.
