Introspection fails due to use of Host Name instead of UUID
When I do introspection on baremetal servers that will be used as for Redhat TripleO Openstack 13 (This is the same as RDO Queens) I start with just one. Before this I import the instackenv.json file with all of the baremetal server details using:
$ openstack overcloud node import ~/instackenv.json
Then I open the console of a single server to see that the introspection works. Sometimes there are physical or network issues, so it’s best to start with provision of just one server.
I mistakenly used the hostname instead of the UUID with –provide.
This results include the following error:
'mistral.actions.action_factory.NovaAction'>', attributes='{u'client_method_name': u'hypervisors.find'
The correct command to introspect a single server with Provision is:
$ openstack overcloud node introspect UUID --provide
Mistral sets the Hypervisor name as the UUID instead of the hostname. You can see this with, this is why using the hostname doesn’t work:
$ openstack hypervisor list --long
