[Starlingx-discuss] Deployment Option (error: compute boot in loop)

Wed Jan 23 14:13:34 UTC 2019

Hi Himanshu,
For compute/worker node, please make sure Virtualization settings (such as VT-X and VT-D) ENABLED in BIOS.
They are mandatory requirements for compute node.

Regards,
Yong

Thanks a lot Juan and Yong,

Able to see compute host in "system-host-list" after connecting with a hub. starlingX  Compute installation has been done.
But after unlocking the compute nodes the compute node come into an endless boot loop.

dmesg log shows below error:

[ 20.967137] iTCO_vendor_support: vendor-support=0 [ 20.968785] iTCO_wdt: Intel TCO WatchDog Timer Driver v1.11 [ 20.968840] iTCO_wdt: unable to reset NO_REBOOT flag, device disabled by hardware/BIOS [ 21.066607] device-mapper: uevent: version 1.0.3 [ 21.067124] device-mapper: ioctl: 4.37.1-ioctl (2018-04-03) initialised: dm-devel at redhat.com<mailto:dm-devel at redhat.com>

Checked the BIOS setting those are as mentioned in installation document.

I'm using ISO Image available at below path:

Himanshu,
Could you have a try with a hub which 2 mgt ports (from controller and compute) are plugged into?
Let’s assure the normal setup works first, and then figure out why the direct linkage of cable doesn’t work.

BTW: “worker” and “compute” are just different “personality” names in different STX version.
On your current setup “compute” will do, supposedly.

Thanks Juan ,Yong

I tried both the commands output shows as below:

1) [wrsroot at controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-add -n compute-0 -p worker -m 00:1e:67:fd:3d:fe

2) [wrsroot at controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-add -n compute-0 -p compute -m 00:1e:67:fd:3d:fe
Host-add Rejected: Cannot add a compute host without specifying a mgmt_ip when static address allocation is configured.

Hi,

The personality of computes changed to “worker”, so the command should be:

system host-add -n compute-0 -p worker -m ${mac_address}

Hi Himanshu,
“system host-list” doesn’t “see” your compute node and LLDP won’t work,
because the mgt port on compute node directly connects to mgt port on controller-0 (rather than both connecting to a hub).

Anyway, given you know the MAC of mgt port on compute node, you can have a try to run the following cmd:

# system host-add -n compute-0 -p compute -m <compute_node_mgt_port_mac>

yong

Thanks Juan,

Able to unlock my controller node. But facing Issue in PXE boot of compute node. After unlocking of controller machine not able to see compute host in "system host-list" command.
my controller machine is directly connected to compute machine.

I'm following the below steps
Steps:
1) system host-unlock controller-0
2) system host-list
Output::
[wrsroot at controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-list
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| id | hostname     | personality | administrative | operational | availability |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+
| 1  | controller-0 | controller  | unlocked       | enabled     | available    |
+----+--------------+-------------+----------------+-------------+--------------+

3)  power on my compute machine. And give option to boot from PXE
   my compute machine is directly connected with controller with mgmt port.
  But not able to see host in "system host-list".

4) i tried with system host-add command also, but it is giving below error:
Error:
[wrsroot at controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-add
Host-add Rejected: Cannot add a compute host without specifying a mgmt_ip when static address allocation is configured.

Please suggest me the needful change.

Regards,
Himanshu Goyal
