Boot from volume with Dumpling on RDO/CentOS 6 (using backported QEMU 0.12)

Andrew Richards <andrew.richards@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Mon, 21 Oct 2013 12:03:31 -0400

Hi Everybody,
I'm attempting to get Ceph working for CentOS 6.4 running RDO Havana for Cinder volume storage and boot-from-volume, and I keep bumping into a very unhelpful errors on my nova-compute test node and my cinder controller node.

Here is what I see on my cinder-volume controller (Node #1) when I try to attach a RBD-backed Cinder volume to a Nova VM using either the GUI or nova volume-attach (/var/log/cinder/volume.log):

More info on my setup:
I'm running the most recent release of Dumpling libraries (0.67.4) and python-ceph, but I do not have ceph itself installed as it should not be needed on Havana
cephx is in use, and I set up pools and keyrings per the guide at http://ceph.com/docs/next/rbd/rbd-openstack/
I'm using the ceph-extras repo to install the backported QEMU packages as described at http://openstack.redhat.com/Using_Ceph_for_Block_Storage_with_RDO
I'm also using Neutron+OVS and thus edited my qemu.conf according to this libvirt wiki page http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Guest_won't_start_-_warning:_could_not_open_/dev/net/tun_('generic_ethernet'_interface)
I am presently not configuring Nova to put its ephemeral disk image on RBD (new option in Havana)

Things I've been able to do so far:
I stored an image to Glance backed by RBD
I used that image to create a Cinder volume backed by RBD
I instantiated a working ephemeral VM with Nova based on the image from Glance backed by RBD
I created a libvirt VM manually with virsh on the same compute node that attached a volume from the Cinder RBD pool
I created a VM with Nova (ephemeral local boot) that I was then able to use virsh to successfully attach a Cinder volume backed by RBD
I can use qemu-img to create volumes in the cinder RBD pool, but only if I have the client.admin keyring installed on the compute node

The error traced above is what happens every time I try to boot from volume using that RBD-backed Cinder volume spawned from the RBD-backed Glance image.  What did work led me to believe that QEMU was the problem, so I tried the following:
I changed the user and group qemu runs as from root to nova and from nova to qemu to see if their permissions had any affect; no change
I tried the above tests with matching permissions on the contents of /etc/ceph/ (ceph.conf and the keyrings for admin, cinder, and glance); no change

It seems like Nova is somehow failing to get from Cinder that Cinder is using RBD for its backend, but I can't understand why.  All my configs align with every instance of documentation I've been able to find for making OpenStack work with Ceph.  Has anyone done what I'm trying to do on CentOS 6 or even on some version of Fedora?  I am cross-posting this on the OpenStack listserv as well.

Thanks for your time,

Andy
