Description Waldemar Znoinski 2017-07-24 15:42:09 UTC
Description of problem:
When restarting a openstack-nova-compute service on a OSP12 overcloud compute node the service does not come back up.

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run on compute node:
systemctl restart openstack-nova-compute

2. 
3.

Actual results:
systemctl status openstack-nova-compute
returns status: "Active: activating "




Expected results:
status: active (running)

Comment 4 Ollie Walsh 2017-07-31 11:42:25 UTC
I've reproduced this:

[root@overcloud-novacompute-1 heat-admin]# sudo -u nova virsh -c qemu:///system
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: error from service: CheckAuthorization: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.


It seems that the change in https://review.rdoproject.org/r/7580 breaks polkit auth in libvirt until the service is restarted:

[root@overcloud-novacompute-1 heat-admin]# systemctl restart libvirtd
[root@overcloud-novacompute-1 heat-admin]# sudo -u nova virsh -c qemu:///system
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands
       'quit' to quit

virsh # 


This will no longer be an issue when https://review.openstack.org/479816 merges, as polkit auth will no longer be used.
