I have installed devstack (OpenStacks development platform) on a physical ubuntu 14.04 host and I have been trying to follow the tutorials for manually creating an image. I have tried for Ubuntu and Windows but I'm having trouble connecting to any network in any VMs!

In particular the issues I'm facing in each OS are:

  • In Windows I complete the Windows Server 2008 R2 installation (using the RedHat VirtIO SCSI Driver). However installing the network adapter from here results in a faulty ethernet adapter with a Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware error. I have tried multiple versions of these drivers including the latest and followed several threads in serverfault/superuser to remedy this but to no avail - however I think my problem might be something more basic as I also have the problem with Linux:
  • In Ubuntu I cannot get outside to the internet. It cannot get an IP via DHCP. When I attempt to manually set the IP and gateway it also does not work.

I have tried running the command line virt-install, using the virt-manager, also just running kvm as demonstrated here.

I have confirmed that the default network is running via virsh net-list. I have also tried creating my own virtual network forwarding to a different physical NIC on the host.

I feel like I must be missing something incredibly basic - seeing as Devstack is supposed to take care of everything for me. Is anyone able to shed some light on what I'm missing?

As I think someone will ask for it, below is my ifconfig output on the physical host. eth1 was the original interface I setup. br100 is the default via ip route. It has the IP address that I SSH to. virbr1 I setup later with eth1 to see if I could setup my own virtual NIC to fix the problem.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone is able to offer!

  • Are you sure the network card is using virtio at all? Post a `virsh dumpxml $VM` – dyasny Sep 05 '14 at 13:15
  • Thanks for the response. No - I'm not sure of this. What should I do if it's not? One of the arguments I am passing to kvm is `-net nic,model=virtio`. I've just shutdown this devstack instance and am rebuilding to make sure I've not missed something silly so I can't give you the output of that at the moment! – ben Sep 05 '14 at 16:23
  • Have you been using nova networking or neutron? – dyasny Sep 05 '14 at 17:27
  • Hi dyasny. I've been using nova as I thought that would be simplest. Is that wise? Here is a pastebin of your previous question - the virsh dumpxml http://pastebin.com/GdKwr5VN – ben Sep 08 '14 at 08:11
  • The card seems to be virtio. Maybe your nova network isn't set up properly, it's basically a bridge – dyasny Sep 08 '14 at 13:08
