VM Build Fails as Network Fails to Get due to Allocated

Problem

The VM build is failing due to the network not being allocated, although the network agents remain running and in a healthy state.

Environment

  • Platform9 Managed OpenStack - v4.0 and Higher

Cause

The VM creation failed because Nova did not receive the network-vif-plugged event within the expected timeout, resulting in a VirtualInterfaceCreateException. Although the instance was scheduled successfully and network agents appeared healthy, the event was not delivered to Nova due to a communication issue between Neutron and Nova. As a result, the port binding was never confirmed, and Nova aborted the build with the error “Failed to allocate the network(s), not rescheduling.”

This is a known bug and is reported internally with ID: IAAS-10813.

Resolution

The services given below need to be restarted to fix the issue. Ensure all services are up and running. Once services are stable, attempt to build the new instance.
