Overcloud nodes deployed as KVM guests unable to get IP addresses from Openstack Director running as a guest on RHEV

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Trying to PXE boot a machine but unable to receive DHCP reply
  • We are currently deploying Platform Director in our lab. This lab comprise of UCS where RHEV cluster is running. This cluster hosts a VM where Platform Director (undercloud) was installed. Additional and dedicated nic was configured on RHEV for undercloud.
  • On another external machine C240 where RHEL is running was configured with Libvirt. This machine will host the Overcloud nodes.
  • On Undercloud system. All configuration was applied and seems to work, when executing deploying its able to start the overcloud target nodes but these nodes cannot pxe boot.
  • Overcloud nodes dhcp on introspection but not on overcloud deployment.
  • Overcloud nodes do not dhcp when undercloud is on RHEV.

  • Environment looks like :
