Why does neutron take so long to restart ?
Environment
- Red Hat Openstack Platform 7
Issue
During the process of scaling out the number of compute nodes in our RHOSP7, the stack update has failed, it can be seen that the neutron-server service takes>180 seconds to start up.
Resolution
Using HA and ‘auto_delete’ queues, the system gets eventually to a state where some channels don’t have associated connections (shown in the management UI as ‘unknown’) and calls to ‘rabbitmqctl list_channels’ do not return. This is caused by the queues blocking the channels during the termination, when the rabbit_mirror_queue_master does not return.
Currently the issue is being tracked in the following bugzilla:
