[Fiware-lab-help] Fwd: Failed to launch new instances

Hi Federico,

Thank you for your guidance. I have managed to go forward but I also
still face few problems. Here is what I have done using Stockhom region:

I managed to associate floating IP and ssh connection worked fine.
However the server couldn't connect Internet properly: host names were
not resolved. It seemed that the server didn't get working DNS name
servers via DHCP. After trying rebooting and some configuration changes
I added public google DNS servers to subnet configuration. I wonder is
this way to go and are there FIWare specific DNS servers that should be
used, or is varying between regions?

Anyway things looked fine, so I started to update packages using
'apt-get'. However during installing packages server froze and ssh
connection died. After that I couldn't connect using ssh to the server,
reboots didn't help. I get just 'no route to host' error while trying
ssh connection. I tried redefining configurations, rebooting but nothing
seemed to help.

I have other user account for testing and I followed my own notes and
managed to launch instance and associate floating IP. Ssh connection
started working right away.

Now I went back to the original account and deleted everything on
Stockholm region: instances, networks, routers and released IPs. I
recreated the setup again. The creation and IP association went fine,
but still my ssh connection refuses to work: no route to host.

So I'm in situation that I have two accounts and VM instances running
on Stockholm region - on one account everything is ok, ssh connection
working (public IP 194.28.122.40). Updating packages using 'apt-get'
on this server went fine. - on other account the server is running but
I can't connect using ssh (public IP almost same 194.28.122.53). No
route to host.

So right now I have server that I can continue to use for my work.
However I would like to help you to troubleshoot situation because right
now it feels that the setup is unrealiable (I don't know is it because
of FI-Lab in general or related to Stockholm region).

There is web based VNC connection on Connection tab of instances. On
some regions it really shows console screen but on Stockholm region
'View Display' gives Corrupted Content Error. Should this 'View Display'
generally work? If yes, then what root password to use? There is 'Change
Password' for instances but I haven't seen it working.

I have got answer to my earlier post and I was instructed to use either
Budapest or Prague regions. I tested those:

 - Budapest: Instance creation fails here too like I have described
   below. Deployment starts but ends to simple ERROR. No additional
   information.

 - Prague: I managed successfully launch instance but I'm unable to
   allocate IP. There I get reasonable error message Error allocating IP
   address. Cause: 404 Error {"itemNotFound": {"message":
   "NoMoreFloatingIps: Zero floating ips available.", "code": 404}} How
   ever when "Allocate Floating IP" dialog is open quota said that there
   is one available.


I systematically went through all regions and (just for me?) all but
Poznan failed in away or another: either VM launching results to error
or floating IPs can't be assigned. On Poznan region I managed to connect
a launched VM with ssh.

I still wonder is this a general error situation, or is it just me who
is experiencing these problems.

instances Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2015 10:30:43 +0200

Hi,

I trying to launch new instances in Fi-Lab but for some reason launching
fails every time and instance gets into error state. See attached
screenshot. I can't find any additional information for the error.

I tried different regions and different instances, but a result is
same: ERROR

I originally had a test instance running on Spain region, that was
launched in October but I deleted it as I couldn't anymore find
keypair, and understood that you can't associate new keypairs to
existing instance.

Is there a general problem in Fi-Lab, or am I just missing some step?

Regards, Tero Vuorela
