We have no way to validate the Neutron public interface when doing an osp deployment. This should probably be documented so that users understand this and don't have unrealistic expectations.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1298742 +++

Description of problem:

OpenStack deployment failed with CREATE_FAIL (timeout)

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

RHCI-6.0-RHEL-7-20160113.t.1
RHCIOOO-7-RHEL-7-20160113.t.8

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ISOs
2. Run fusor install scripts
3. Enter information for deployment with wrong "External Network Interface" in Configure Overcloud
4. Wait until Satellite deployment is finished
5. Wait until 25% in RHELOSP deployment

Actual results:

No error for External Network Interface
ERROR: deployment failed with status: CREATE_FAILED and reason: Create timed out

Expected results:

Error during External Network Interface
Successful deployment

Additional info:

No way of correct and resume, must start from scratch.

Since External Network Interface is using the consistent network device naming (non-ethx), checking for ethx and reporting an error would be one solution.

For QCI 1.2, entered nic7 as "External Network Interface" in "Configure Overcloud"

Receive:
"{"displayMessage":"Task 02ff3cec-84cc-4f2a-8b5d-7088d527d104: RestClient::InternalServerError: 500 Internal Server Error","errors":["Task 02ff3cec-84cc-4f2a-8b5d-7088d527d104: RestClient::InternalServerError: 500 Internal Server Error"]}"

Failed QA

Does nic7 exist? We have absolutely no way to tell in advance how many interfaces exist. If you put in garbage data here expect a failed deployment.

If the systems do in fact have 7 nics it would be helpful to see the /var/log/messages from the overcloud nodes

as root on your undercloud
sudo su - stack
source stackrc
nova server-list
ssh heat-admin@<ip-address-for-one-of-the-servers-listed-in-cmd-above>
sudo su -

Looking at /var/log/messages you'd normally see messages similar to:
nic2 mapped to: eth1

In your case you'd of course be looking for nessages about nic7
