Lost internet connectivity after nova install on single instance

Asked by Eoghan

Installed all nova components on a single box and all nova services are running and am able to run and connect to instances but I have lost all internet connectivity on the box.

Has anyone seen this before?

This is what my networking looks like:

The cause of this appears to be the addition of a nova private network. If I delete the nova private network eth0 gets its static IP address back and external internet connectivity comes back.

This is the command I am using to add the nova network.

nova-manage network create private \
    --fixed_range_v4=10.0.0.0/24 \
    --num_networks=1 \
    --network_size=256 \
    --bridge=br100 \
    --bridge_interface=eth0 \
    --multi_host=T

Make sure your nova.conf has a --public-interface entry as well - maybe something like:

(nova.conf snippet):
--network_manager=nova.network.manager.FlatDHCPManager
--flat_network_bridge=br100
--flat_injected=False
--flat_interface=eth0
--public_interface=eth0

And then the command shouldn't remove the internet access IP address, although it will also be bound to the br100 interface, which is using eth0.

I'm assuming you have a single-nic node there.

I do have the public-interface specified in the nova.conf file exactly as above and I still see the problem. And yes I just have one nic on the node.

Found the problem in my network config, changed to FLAT networking.
