Help with OpenStack Neutron for ACI lab

Alfonso Lopez

Hi,

My goal is to play around with OpenStack and ACI, so I'm setting a two node lab Openstack (Liberty) environment on Ubuntu (Trusty) servers. I've setup MySQL, RabbitMQ, Keystone, Glance and Nova successfully.

 

However, after installing and configuring Neutron, the DHCP agent is missing from the list.

 

I've gone through the nova.conf and dhcp_agent.ini files but can't see the problem.

 

I've restarted the dhcp agent service:

root@ubuntu-145:~# service neutron-dhcp-agent restart
neutron-dhcp-agent stop/waiting
neutron-dhcp-agent start/running, process 14741

But the DHCP agent is not in the list.

 

These are the contents of the config files:

dhcp_agent.ini

[DEFAULT]
interface_driver = neutron.agent.linux.interface.BridgeInterfaceDriver
dhcp_driver = neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq
enable_isolated_metadata = True
[AGENT]e_agent

nova.conf

[DEFAULT]
...
dhcpbridge_flagfile=/etc/nova/nova.conf
dhcpbridge=/usr/bin/nova-dhcpbridge
...
force_dhcp_release=True
...

 

The "neutron agent-list" command shows the metadata agent in the controller node as well as the linux bridge agent in both controller and compute nodes, but I think I should also see the DHCP agent in the controller node.

 

Currently, I see this:

root@ubuntu-145:~# neutron agent-list
+--------------------------------------+--------------------+------------+-------+----------------+---------------------------+
| id                                   | agent_type         | host       | alive | admin_state_up | binary                    |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------+------------+-------+----------------+---------------------------+
| 623b253d-d7cf-4e9b-85e3-34c9ce3d076e | Linux bridge agent | ubuntu-144 | :-)   | True           | neutron-linuxbridge-agent |
| c7571a6a-9e44-434b-8e35-9fdddb7073bb | Linux bridge agent | ubuntu-145 | :-)   | True           | neutron-linuxbridge-agent |
| ca27b709-f2e4-4b72-8415-e8c37a69adf1 | Metadata agent     | ubuntu-145 | :-)   | True           | neutron-metadata-agent    |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------+------------+-------+----------------+---------------------------+

 

The dhcp-agent.log has thrown nothing in the past few hours, so no clues there:

What else can I check?

 

Thanks!

---- Update ------

I just noticed that the Neutron DHCP agent service is hogging the cpu:

But still, I don't see it in the list from the openstack client.
