Problem

Running openstack recordset list command fails with following error:

Bash

$ openstack recordset list <recordSet>
Unable to establish connection to http://127.0.0.1:9001/v2/zones?name=<RecordSet>: HTTPConnectionPool(host='127.0.0.1', port=9001): Max retries exceeded with url: /v2/zones?name=<recordSets> (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fa23ce9b5d0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))

Environment

• Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions
• Ubuntu machine running OpenStack Client with Python 2.7 virtual environment

Cause

OpenStack Client was using Python 2.7

Resolution

1. Deactivate the current virtual environment:

Bash

deactivate

1. Create a virtual environment with Python3 and activate it:

Bash

virtualenv -p python3.6 pf9-openstack
source pf9-openstack/bin/activate

1. Upgrade pip and then install openstackclient & designateclient:

Bash

pip install --upgrade pip

pip install python-openstackclient python-designateclient -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/requirements/stable/ussuri/upper-constraints.txt

Note: If the virtualenv binary doesn’t exist, install it with following command :

Bash

apt install virtualenv -y
