Recently I deployed Red Hat OpenStack 10 with Jenkins. I've found that my running nodes are became paused after a while.

virsh list stdout:

Id  | Name       | State
-------------------------
1    undercloud-0  paused
2    compute-0     paused
3    controller-0  paused

I tried to start or reboot VMs, but it didn't help. Machines are still in paused state. Is there any obvious things which I might miss?

I've found there is a lack of free space appeared after OpenStack runs for some time.

RHEL machines had smaller / partition and quite big /home partition. I found a VM images stored in /var and just moved it into /home

The steps are:

  1. Stop all running VMs

    # for i in $(virsh list --name); do virsh destroy $i; done

  2. Create new directory and move images there

    # mkdir /home/_images

    # mv /var/lib/libvirt/images/* /home/_images

  3. Remove the old directory with images and create a symlink to the new directory.

    # rmdir /var/lib/libvirt/images

    # ln -s /home/_images /var/lib/libvirt/images

  4. Start VMs again (or reboot the machine), an ideal order is 1. undercloud-0, 2. controller-0, 3. compute-x nodes

    # for i in $(virsh list --name); do virsh reboot $i; done
