Volker, The nova-scheduler.log indicates rejection reasons per host as they get filtered out for various reasons. They look like this: '<timestamp> <FilterName> (compute-x) REJECT: <message>'. From your pastebin result, I only saw the RetryFilter. You got "SCHED: PASS. Selected compute-x", that means it actually attempted to launch on that compute. There is something failing during the launch on the compute, so you get scheduling retries on other computes. That is why you see messages like "RetryFilter: (compute-1) REJECT: Previously tried: [[u'compute-0', .." Log into each compute and look for error/exceptions in /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log at the specific timestamp of launch. A similar error message will likely present in the nova-conductor.log (on the controller). Depending on the specific error, you may need to dig into other logs on the compute (eg, /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/libvirt/qemu/instance-<x>.log, /var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log, /var/log/openstack.log, etc). This should give hints. Some of the logs are extraneous noise, so focus near the exact timestamp. -jim From: von Hoesslin, Volker [mailto:Volker.Hoesslin@swsn.de] Sent: November-15-18 5:25 AM To: starlingx Subject: Re: [Starlingx-discuss] Can not launch instance cool, thanks for your feedback! i've already read and understood the topic with the backing. i'm now so far that it seems to work if I create an instance without the security-groups (default-group) specification, i don't know why exactly. as far as i've understood it now, it's supposed to have something to do with "port-security-enabled=false"? sorry that i got in touch with the group so quickly before i exhausted all my possibilities...

Hi, nothing easier than that, basically use the normal instance wizard in the horizon and don't make any entries in the step "security groups". regardless of that, i would be interested in a solution with security groups in the future!
