OpenStack Compute (nova)

How to know which security group started the server instance

Asked by Ravikumar Venkatesan

1) I created security group (OS API extension for security group)
    nova secgroup-create ravi_sec test_sec
2) start nova instance with security group
    nova boot ravitest1 --flavor 101 -- image 227 --security_groups ravi_sec
3) Run nova list
   nova list - does not show the security group with which it is created.

It appears that this feature is part of diablo final, see _server_to_xml_detailed in nova/api/openstack/servers.py around line 931:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/diablo/nova/api/openstack/servers.py

        if 'security_groups' in server:
            security_groups_node = self._create_security_groups_node(xml_doc,
                                                    server['security_groups'])
            server_node.appendChild(security_groups_node)

For some reason it doesn't seem to work, though. When I call the API I get image, flavor and addresses, but no security groups. They do show up when you call the EC2 api for details on the same server.

This sounds like a bug. Does it happen with trunk as well?
