Currently you need to disable iptables in order to get nova networking The basic problem is that Nova's rules were written to work on Ubuntu where there are no iptables rules by default and all packets are accepted. The rules need to be adapted to work with Fedora's reject rules
Some progress here. This is enough to get things working for me: iptables -t filter -A nova-network-INPUT -i br0 -p udp -m udp --dport 67 -j ACCEPT
Okay, I've built this: * Sat Sep 3 2011 Mark McLoughlin <markmc> - 2011.3-0.7.d4 - Add iptables rules to allow requests to dnsmasq (#734347) It looks like we also need ACCEPT rules for the 169.254.169.254 meta-data service too, though
Okay, added a rule for that too: * Mon Sep 5 2011 Mark McLoughlin <markmc> - 2011.3-0.8.d4 - Add iptables rule to allow EC2 metadata requests (#734347)
