Troubleshooting¶
This section gives some guidelines about how to troubleshoot the test cases owned by Functest.
IMPORTANT: As in the previous section, the steps defined below must be executed inside the Functest Docker container and after sourcing the OpenStack credentials:
. $creds
or:
source /home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds
VIM¶
This section covers the test cases related to the VIM (vPing, Tempest, Rally).
vPing common¶
For both vPing test cases (vPing_ssh, and vPing_userdata), the first steps are similar:
- Create Glance image
- Create Network
- Create Security Group
- Create instances
After these actions, the test cases differ and will be explained in their respective section.
These test cases can be run inside the container as follows:
$repos_dir/functest/docker/run_tests.sh -t vping_ssh
$repos_dir/functest/docker/run_tests.sh -t vping_userdata
The run_tests.sh script is basically calling internally the corresponding vPing scripts, located in $repos_dir/functest/testcases/vPing/CI/libraries/vPing_ssh.py and $repos_dir/functest/testcases/vPing/CI/libraries/vPing_userdata.py with the appropriate flags.
After finishing the test execution, the corresponding script will remove 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. This can be achieved by adding the flag -n:
$repos_dir/functest/docker/run_tests.sh -n -t vping_ssh
$repos_dir/functest/docker/run_tests.sh -n -t vping_userdata
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-0.3.4-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 2 --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/testcases/vPing/CI/libraries/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 flag -n in run_tests.sh explained previously) so that the test does not clean the OpenStack resources. It means that the Container can not reach the public 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:

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. Contact the Functest or installer teams for more information.
NOTE: Cloud-init in not supported on scenario dealing with ONOS and the tests have been excluded from CI in those scenarios.
Tempest¶
In the upstream OpenStack CI all the Tempest test cases are supposed to pass. If some test cases fail in an OPNFV deployment, the reason is very probably one of the following
| Error | Details |
|---|---|
| Resources required for test case execution are missing | Such resources could be e.g. an external network and access to the management subnet (adminURL) from the Functest docker container. |
| OpenStack components or services are missing or not configured properly | Check running services in the controller and compute nodes (e.g. with “systemctl” or “service” commands). Configuration parameters can be verified from related .conf files located under /etc/<component> directories. |
| Some resources required for execution test cases are missing | The tempest.conf file, automatically generated by Rally in Functest, does not contain all the needed parameters or some parameters are not set properly. The tempest.conf file is located in /home/opnfv /.rally/tempest/for-deployment-<UUID> in Functest container Use “rally deployment list” command in order to check UUID of current deployment. |
When some Tempest test case fails, captured traceback and possibly also related REST API requests/responses are output to the console. More detailed debug information can be found from tempest.log file stored into related Rally deployment folder.
Rally¶
Same error causes than for Tempest mentioned above may lead to errors in Rally.
It is possible to run only one Rally scenario, instead of the whole suite. To do that, call the python script (instead of run_tests.sh) as follows:
python $repos_dir/functest/testcases/VIM/OpenStack/CI/libraries/run_rally-cert.py -h
usage: run_rally-cert.py [-h] [-d] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-n] test_name
positional arguments:
test_name Module name to be tested. Possible values are : [
authenticate | glance | cinder | heat | keystone | neutron |
nova | quotas | requests | vm | all ] The 'all' value
performs all possible test scenarios
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d, --debug Debug mode
-r, --report Create json result file
-s, --smoke Smoke test mode
-v, --verbose Print verbose info about the progress
-n, --noclean Don't clean the created resources for this test.
For example, to run the Glance scenario with debug information:
python $repos_dir/functest/testcases/VIM/OpenStack/CI/libraries/run_rally-cert.py -d glance
- Possible scenarios are:
- authenticate
- glance
- cinder
- heat
- keystone
- neutron
- nova
- quotas
- requests
- vm
To know more about what those scenarios are doing, they are defined in: $repos_dir/functest/testcases/VIM/OpenStack/CI/suites. For more info about Rally scenario definition please refer to the Rally official documentation.
If the flag all is specified, it will run all the scenarios one by one. Please note that this might take some time (~1,5hr), taking around 1 hour to complete the Nova scenario.
To check any possible problems with rally, the logs are stored under /home/opnfv/functest/results/rally/ in the Functest container.
Controllers¶
ODL¶
- 2 versions are supported in Brahmaputra depending on the scenario:
- Lithium
- Berylium
The upstream test suites have not been adapted, so you may get 18 or 15 tests passed on 18 depending on your configuration. The 3 testcases are partly failed due to wrong return code.
ONOS¶
Please refer to the ONOS documentation.
Feature¶
vIMS¶
vIMS deployment may fail for several reasons, the most frequent ones are described in the following table:
| Error | Comments |
|---|---|
| Keystone admin API not reachable | Impossible to create vIMS user and tenant |
| Impossible to retrieve admin role id | Impossible to create vIMS user and tenant |
| Error when uploading image from OpenStack to glance | impossible to deploy VNF |
| Cinder quota cannot be updated | Default quotas not sufficient, they are adapted in the script |
| Impossible to create a volume | VNF cannot be deployed |
| SSH connection issue between the Test container and the VM | if vPing test fails, vIMS test will fail... |
| No Internet access from the VM | the VMs of the VNF must have an external access to Internet |
| No access to OpenStack API from the VM | Orchestrator can be installed but the vIMS VNF installation fails |
