Instances are going to error state while using affinity rules

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Created SameHost policy with nova server-group-create
nova server-group-create --policy affinity SameHost
  • Booted first VM on compute-1 using hint.
nova boot novaschedulertest --flavor m1.tiny --image novaschedulertest --availability-zone performance:hpbs11-10to16-compute-1.localdomain --nic net-id=7a6d6dab-425b-48f1-b493-789bfa3589ed --hint group=40157bb9-c317-4cae-87d8-618048bf093a
  • Booted another 14 VM's to same host using same hint group which is used to spawn first instance.
nova boot novaschedulertest --flavor m1.tiny --image novaschedulertest --nic net-id=7a6d6dab-425b-48f1-b493-789bfa3589ed --hint group=40157bb9-c317-4cae-87d8-618048bf093a --min-count 14
  • Repeating second operation of spawning multiple instances using hint group is getting failed sometimes, instances are getting stuck in BUILD state or ending with ERROR state.
