There is one difference, between the Functest CLI based test case + execution compared to the earlier used Bash shell script, which is + relevant to point out in troubleshooting scenarios: + + The Functest CLI does **not yet** support the option to suppress + clean-up of the generated OpenStack resources, following the execution + of a test case. + + Explanation: After finishing the test execution, the corresponding + script will remove, by default, all created resources in OpenStack + (image, instances, network and security group). When troubleshooting, + it is advisable sometimes to keep those resources in case the test + fails and a manual testing is needed. + + It is actually still possible to invoke test execution, with suppression + of OpenStack resource cleanup, however this requires invocation of a + **specific Python script:** '/home/opnfv/repos/functest/ci/run_test.py'. + The `OPNFV Functest Developer Guide`_ provides guidance on the use of that + Python script in such troubleshooting cases. + +Some of the common errors that can appear in this test case are:: + + vPing_ssh- ERROR - There has been a problem when creating the neutron network.... + +This means that there has been some problems with Neutron, even before creating the +instances. Try to create manually a Neutron network and a Subnet to see if that works. +The debug messages will also help to see when it failed (subnet and router creation). +Example of Neutron commands (using 10.6.0.0/24 range for example):: + + neutron net-create net-test + neutron subnet-create --name subnet-test --allocation-pool start=10.6.0.2,end=10.6.0.100 \ + --gateway 10.6.0.254 net-test 10.6.0.0/24 + neutron router-create test_router + neutron router-interface-add <ROUTER_ID> test_subnet + neutron router-gateway-set <ROUTER_ID> <EXT_NET_NAME> + +Another related error can occur while creating the Security Groups for the instances:: + + vPing_ssh- ERROR - Failed to create the security group... + +In this case, proceed to create it manually. These are some hints:: + + neutron security-group-create sg-test + neutron security-group-rule-create sg-test --direction ingress --protocol icmp \ + --remote-ip-prefix 0.0.0.0/0 + neutron security-group-rule-create sg-test --direction ingress --ethertype IPv4 \ + --protocol tcp --port-range-min 80 --port-range-max 80 --remote-ip-prefix 0.0.0.0/0 + neutron security-group-rule-create sg-test --direction egress --ethertype IPv4 \ + --protocol tcp --port-range-min 80 --port-range-max 80 --remote-ip-prefix 0.0.0.0/0 + +The next step is to create the instances. The image used is located in +*/home/opnfv/functest/data/cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-disk.img* and a Glance image is created +with the name **functest-vping**. If booting the instances fails (i.e. the status +is not **ACTIVE**), you can check why it failed by doing:: + + nova list + nova show <INSTANCE_ID> + +It might show some messages about the booting failure. To try that manually:: + + nova boot --flavor m1.small --image functest-vping --nic net-id=<NET_ID> nova-test + +This will spawn a VM using the network created previously manually. +In all the OPNFV tested scenarios from CI, it never has been a problem with the +previous actions. Further possible problems are explained in the following sections. + + +vPing_SSH +^^^^^^^^^ +This test case creates a floating IP on the external network and assigns it to +the second instance **opnfv-vping-2**. The purpose of this is to establish +a SSH connection to that instance and SCP a script that will ping the first +instance. This script is located in the repository under +*$REPOS_DIR/functest/functest/opnfv_tests/OpenStack/vPing/ping.sh* and takes an IP as +a parameter. When the SCP is completed, the test will do an SSH call to that script +inside the second instance. Some problems can happen here:: + + vPing_ssh- ERROR - Cannot establish connection to IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Aborting + +If this is displayed, stop the test or wait for it to finish, if you have used +the special method of test invocation with specific supression of OpenStack +resource clean-up, as explained earler. It means that the Container can not +reach the Public/External IP assigned to the instance **opnfv-vping-2**. There +are many possible reasons, and they really depend on the chosen scenario. For +most of the ODL-L3 and ONOS scenarios this has been noticed and it is a known +limitation. + +First, make sure that the instance **opnfv-vping-2** succeeded to get an IP +from the DHCP agent. It can be checked by doing:: + + nova console-log opnfv-vping-2 + +If the message *Sending discover* and *No lease, failing* is shown, it probably +means that the Neutron dhcp-agent failed to assign an IP or even that it was not +responding. At this point it does not make sense to try to ping the floating IP. + +If the instance got an IP properly, try to ping manually the VM from the container:: + + nova list + <grab the public IP> + ping <public IP> + +If the ping does not return anything, try to ping from the Host where the Docker +container is running. If that solves the problem, check the iptable rules because +there might be some rules rejecting ICMP or TCP traffic coming/going from/to the +container. + +At this point, if the ping does not work either, try to reproduce the test +manually with the steps described above in the vPing common section with the +addition:: + + neutron floatingip-create <EXT_NET_NAME> + nova floating-ip-associate nova-test <FLOATING_IP> + + +Further troubleshooting is out of scope of this document, as it might be due to +problems with the SDN controller. Contact the installer team members or send an +email to the corresponding OPNFV mailing list for more information. + + + +vPing_userdata +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +This test case does not create any floating IP neither establishes an SSH +connection. Instead, it uses nova-metadata service when creating an instance +to pass the same script as before (ping.sh) but as 1-line text. This script +will be executed automatically when the second instance **opnfv-vping-2** is booted. + +The only known problem here for this test to fail is mainly the lack of support +of cloud-init (nova-metadata service). Check the console of the instance:: + + nova console-log opnfv-vping-2 + +If this text or similar is shown:: + + checking http://169.254.169.254/2009-04-04/instance-id + failed 1/20: up 1.13. request failed + failed 2/20: up 13.18. request failed + failed 3/20: up 25.20. request failed + failed 4/20: up 37.23. request failed + failed 5/20: up 49.25. request failed + failed 6/20: up 61.27. request failed + failed 7/20: up 73.29. request failed + failed 8/20: up 85.32. request failed + failed 9/20: up 97.34. request failed + failed 10/20: up 109.36. request failed + failed 11/20: up 121.38. request failed + failed 12/20: up 133.40. request failed + failed 13/20: up 145.43. request failed + failed 14/20: up 157.45. request failed + failed 15/20: up 169.48. request failed + failed 16/20: up 181.50. request failed + failed 17/20: up 193.52. request failed + failed 18/20: up 205.54. request failed + failed 19/20: up 217.56. request failed + failed 20/20: up 229.58. request failed + failed to read iid from metadata. tried 20 + +it means that the instance failed to read from the metadata service.
