HI,
I am not trying to start sysinv-api.service manually.
I am trying simplex mode installation.

1)
“sudo config_controller” failing at “04/08 Populating initial system inventory”
https://ibb.co/x7yySdz

I have been debugging this issue and find that “sysinv” service is not running.

2)
You can see the error here.
/var/log/sysinv.log
http://dpaste.com/25WYG10

3)
output of “sudo sm-dump” and “sudo systemctl status sysinv-api.service”
http://dpaste.com/3CSSCK9

4)
Since “sysinv” service is not up, _populate_system_config(self, client) call is not getting result.
https://github.com/openstack/stx-config/blob/e0219a96d2d51076d9edb607cada7c148570544a/controllerconfig/controllerconfig/controllerconfig/configassistant.py#L3667
systems = client.sysinv.isystem.list()

Are you trying to manually start sysinv-api.service? This and other controller platform services are managed by SM, as are the floating controller and pxecontroller (169.254.202.2) IP addresses. I’m assuming you have successfully run config_controller? Have you checked the state of services under SM (sudo sm-dump)?

HI,

 

Thanks Luis and Penny.

 

1)

I am getting error "Cannot assign requested address" when I start sysinv-api.service.

2018-11-26 08:46:09.324 18046 ERROR oslo.service.wsgi [-] Could not bind to 169.254.202.2:6385 <===Error

2)

I can't ping to 169.254.202.2. Do I miss any network configuration. I am trying "Simplex" mode.

 

controller-0:~$

controller-0:~$ ping 169.254.202.2

The 169.254.202.2 address is assigned for pxeboot:

/etc/hosts:169.254.202.2        pxecontroller

 

The address gets added to the mgmt interface on the active controller, for responding to pxeboot/dhcp requests from hosts during installation from the active controller. Sysinv binds to the address so that it can respond to limited API queries and notifications that occur during the installation process.

Hi,

 

This IP is provided by Automatic Private IP Addressing. This process assigns an IP address even in the absence of a DHCP server. If a DISCOVER message is not answered, the client picks a random 16-bit number and prepends it with 169.254.x.x. It performs a gratuitous ARP and assigns that address to itself. It means that the DHCP server is not reachable.

HI,

 

I have noticed that sysinv is trying to listen to 6385 with 2 different IPs.

I dont know, How 169.254.202.2 came in etc/sysinv/sysinv.conf, I could not find that IP in hiera.

 

Error from /var/log/sysinv.log

==========================

2018-11-26 08:46:09.298 18046 INFO oslo.service.wsgi [-] sysinv_api listening on 0.0.0.0:6385

ERROR oslo.service.wsgi [-] Could not bind to 169.254.202.2:6385

 

 

Somebody please explain the use of sysinv_api() and sysinv_pxe()
