Openstack LBaaS is not able to access the external network.

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10
  • LBaaS v2

Issue

  • Openstack LBaaS is not able to access the external network.
  • 3 party function is replacing the vRoter function of OSP or Env is not usning vRouter in openstack.
  • VM can ping out to external environment.
  • Between VM and lbaas networking is normal status.

Resolution

Set gateway to subnet for set gateway to loadbalancer.

[stack@instack ~]$ openstack subnet set --gateway 10.111.111.1 test-1
[stack@instack ~]$ openstack subnet show test-1

Root Cause

Loadbalancer needs to have gateway to communicate with the external network.

Diagnostic Steps

  1. Check the loadbalancer.

    [root@overcloud-controller-0 ~]# neutron lbaas-loadbalancer-list
    +--------------------------------------+------------+---------------+---------------------+----------+
    | id                                   | name       | vip_address   | provisioning_status | provider |
    +--------------------------------------+------------+---------------+---------------------+----------+
    | 483e3a79-ab8c-4a85-83d3-bea3e204f3b7 | test-lbaas | 10.111.111.10 | ACTIVE              | haproxy  |
    +--------------------------------------+------------+---------------+---------------------+----------+
    
  2. Check the controller node that loadbalancer is activeing.

    [stack@instack ~]$ neutron lbaas-agent-hosting-loadbalancer 483e3a79-ab8c-4a85-83d3-bea3e204f3b7
    +--------------------------------------+------------------------+----------------+-------+
    | id                                   | host                   | admin_state_up | alive |
    +--------------------------------------+------------------------+----------------+-------+
    | e3fbde5c-a08d-460a-a344-ebecc4844680 | overcloud-controller-0 | True           | :-)   |
    +--------------------------------------+------------------------+----------------+-------+
    
  3. Move to controller node that is activate loadbalancer

    [root@overcloud-controller-0 ~]# 
    
  4. Access Loadbalancer namespace

    [root@overcloud-controller-0 ~]# ip netns exec qlbaas-483e3a79-ab8c-4a85-83d3-bea3e204f3b7 bash
    [root@overcloud-controller-0 ~]# netstat -rn
