Description of problem: I originally encountered this issue when installing OpenStack via devstack but have since been able to reproduce it by simply executing commands inside of a fresh F20 install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rabbitmq-server-3.1.5-1.fc20.noarch How reproducible: Occurs regularly but not 100% of the time Steps to Reproduce: /sbin/service rabbitmq-server stop /sbin/service rabbitmq-server start rabbitmqctl change_password guest newpassword Actual results: About half the time, on a freshly installed F20, this will fail, claiming the node cannot be contacted. A typical error message: [root@cob-dell5 ~]# rabbitmqctl change_password guest ozrootpw Changing password for user "guest" ... Error: unable to connect to node 'rabbit@cob-dell5': nodedown DIAGNOSTICS =========== nodes in question: ['rabbit@cob-dell5'] hosts, their running nodes and ports: - cob-dell5: [{rabbitmqctl2648,48609}] current node details: - node name: 'rabbitmqctl2648@cob-dell5' - home dir: /var/lib/rabbitmq - cookie hash: 8DNoVu56TqDYWypW7YXDJw== Expected results: Changing password for user "guest" ... ...done.
See the following thread on rdo-list for another example of this issue: https://www.redhat.com/archives/rdo-list/2013-December/msg00058.html As well as this more recent one, indicating tha the problem persists: https://www.redhat.com/archives/rdo-list/2014-January/msg00164.html
Note to anyone following. The devstack installer has a commit that attempts to workaround this issue by retrying the rabbitmq restart: https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/commit/f6c001faf6ac5728e07c6bbdaa67680395ed6f48 Still, it would be nice to sort this out on the rabbitmq side eventually.
