Fixed In Version: openstack-foreman-installer-3.0.11-1.el7ost
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
If the external network could not access the DNS server on the network (controller) node, keepalived would stagnate for approximately 60 seconds on floating IP address changes. This caused the MASTER server to flap between HA routers and create connectivity issues with the external network. This fix adds an entry into /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1 to include the network (controller) hostname. The external connectivity now works without issue.

Comment 3 Jason Guiditta 2015-01-14 15:31:57 UTC
Crag posted a patch here:
https://github.com/redhat-openstack/astapor/pull/454

Comment 4 Miguel Angel Ajo 2015-01-14 15:32:51 UTC
Important, after talking with Fabio di Nitto, we found the provided workaround into the first comment is risky:

Use this one, otherwise it could cause problems to pacemaker:

dig A $(hostname) | grep -A1 "ANSWER SEC" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $NF " " $1}' | sed -e 's/.$//g'  >>/etc/hosts ;   grep $(hostname) /etc/hosts || echo "Failure setting up the hostname entry"

Setting the needinfo to get an ack on this comment

Comment 5 Miguel Angel Ajo 2015-01-14 15:42:32 UTC
After seeing the /etc/hosts posted by Crag on github:

https://github.com/redhat-openstack/astapor/pull/454

I suspect we may not need this fix when deployed from foreman,
is the /etc/hosts always populated like that?

we just need a resolving $(hostname) entry in /etc/hosts

Comment 6 Crag Wolfe 2015-01-14 17:30:33 UTC
Actually, that paste from /etc/hosts was not a staypuft install but from one of my development VM's using foreman (just wanted to illustrate the last line being added).  This is /etc/hosts from a staypuft install:

[root@maca25400702876 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# HEADER: This file was autogenerated at 2015-01-14 10:30:46 -0500
# HEADER: by puppet.  While it can still be managed manually, it
# HEADER: is definitely not recommended.
127.0.0.1	localhost	localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1	localhost	localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.0.7	lb-backend-maca25400702875
192.168.0.9	lb-backend-maca25400702877
192.168.0.8	pcmk-maca25400702876
192.168.0.9	pcmk-maca25400702877
192.168.0.7	pcmk-maca25400702875
192.168.0.8	lb-backend-maca25400702876
[root@maca25400702876 ~]# hostname
maca25400702876.example.com

So, I think we still need a patch.

Thank you for checking that Crag, please use the "dig" version or something equivalent, we need to put the real IP instead of 127.0.0.1

dig A $(hostname) | grep -A1 "ANSWER SEC" | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $NF " " $1}' | sed -e 's/.$//g'  >>/etc/hosts ;   grep $(hostname) /etc/hosts || echo "Failure setting up the hostname entry"

Comment 9 Jason Guiditta 2015-01-23 19:08:19 UTC
Tested and merged updated patch.

Comment 11 Alexander Chuzhoy 2015-01-27 18:43:04 UTC
Verified:
Environment:
ruby193-rubygem-foreman_openstack_simplify-0.0.6-8.el7ost.noarch
openstack-foreman-installer-3.0.11-1.el7ost.noarch
ruby193-rubygem-staypuft-0.5.15-1.el7ost.noarch
rhel-osp-installer-client-0.5.5-2.el7ost.noarch
openstack-puppet-modules-2014.2.8-2.el7ost.noarch
rhel-osp-installer-0.5.5-2.el7ost.noarch


Verified the output from `hostname` actually exists in the /etc/hosts file next to its IP on all controllers.
