Description Dan Radez 2013-01-09 16:27:52 UTC

Description of problem:
packstack doesn't ensure libvirt is installed.

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


How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. clone packstack
2. gen an answer file
3. run packstack
  
Actual results:
packstack will complete installation if the virt bridge already exists.
nove compute will not start

Expected results:
nova compute should start properly

Additional info:
If you install and start libvirt it will create virbr0 for you
once libvirt is installed you also need to modprobe kvm and kvm_intel

Comment 2 Flavio Percoco 2013-01-22 17:06:43 UTC

I can't replicate it. 

Could you please share the answer file you used?

Comment 3 Dan Radez 2013-01-22 18:05:20 UTC

You have to do the install on bare metal to hit this bug.
Answer file just installed everything on the same host.

Comment 4 Dan Radez 2013-01-22 22:24:47 UTC

appears that libvirt gets installed but the kernel modules arn't loaded

Comment 5 Derek Higgins 2013-01-23 13:31:38 UTC

I've just been pointed at
/etc/sysconfig/modules/kvm.modules

I think it should be a matter of just running this file, to load the modules after the packstack run.

Looks like. We should also make sure that this is done on boo as well.

no need, I think thats setup without us needing to interfere.

qemu-kvm RPM should run that in postinstall see bug 836498

Comment 9 Dan Radez 2013-01-25 13:50:02 UTC

so if qemu-kvm RPM should take care of this should this big be marked duplicate of bug 836498?

Comment 10 Flavio Percoco 2013-01-25 14:46:14 UTC

I still think this patch should go in, even though qemu-kvm RPM takes care of loading those modules. The patch will ensure kvm-* modules are loaded.

Comment 11 Derek Higgins 2013-01-25 15:01:31 UTC

If we add the patch it will at least make sure people using the snapshots will have a good experience, we can revert it once the fix is released.

Comment 12 Dan Radez 2013-01-25 15:03:35 UTC

Shouldn't hurt for puppet to double check that the modules are loaded. Maybe not even necessary to revert it?

Comment 13 Flavio Percoco 2013-01-25 15:51:44 UTC

It doesn't hurt at all. That script can be called multiple times, if the modules are already loaded it will exit with code 0.

I would just leave it there, double checking doesn't hurt in this case.

Comment 15 Nir Magnezi 2013-02-14 14:29:57 UTC

Verified NVR: openstack-packstack-2012.2.2-0.8.dev346.el6ost.noarch

1. Removed KVM modules from kernel:

# modprobe -r kvm_intel
# modprobe -r kvm

2. Installed OpenStack via packstack

# packstack --answer-file=ans.txt

3. Verified KVM kernel modules are loaded when packstack finished

# lsmod | grep kvm
kvm_intel              53484  0 
kvm                   316506  1 kvm_intel
