Ironic (bare metal)
Serial console doesn't work
Check if all configured bitrates for serial console are consistent, including the Serial-Over-LAN (BMC), OS setting, and Ironic's configuration. Also try enabling the console in Ironic, if it is not already:
If this still isn't working, check what IPMI console port is set in the inventory service (Doni); this is NOT the port is listening for IPMI on the BMC, it is the port that will be used to host a socat pipe on the control node. It is usually a high port (>50000).
Horizon displays “No valid host was found” error
This can happen for many reasons. Check a few things:
Are there errors in the
/var/log/ironic/ironic-conductor.log
?Is the node in maintenance mode? (It must be set to the "available" status for Nova to consider it.)
Does the node have enough space on the file system? It must have more than the space defined in the
baremetal
Nova flavor (we set this to a low value on purpose; 20Gb).
