"_context_remote_address":"10.245.122.50"
}
3. ****NOVA_SCHEDULDER****:
At the scheduler side:
a. RPC Dispatcher OpenStack/common/rpc/dispatcher.py dispatches the message to
the worker.
b. /opt/stack/nova/nova/scheduler/manager.py M: run_instance() is called to
create and run the VM
c. /opt/stack/nova/nova/scheduler/filter_scheduler.py M: schedule_run_instance()
is called to find eligible host where new vm can be created and run.
d. If possible VM is created & run and in the database the status of the machine
is changed to Active / Error or something else.
d. The status of the creation process is also send through notifier.notify()
method.
f. /opt/stack/nova/nova/openstack/common/notifier/api.py M: notify() is called
which put the message in the message queue.
A nofication (of type Info) message (truncated) stating VM creation error is
following:
"_context_request_id":"req-105fe9dd-9f34-4377-bc23-fa9bf6ffe71b",
"_unique_id":"70b9c5f59a074578b2a578907a616f7d",
"_context_timestamp":"2014-01-07T21:23:07.811452",
"_context_user_id":"aa59e71cc3a24abb86c9aefc1f72342e",
"_context_project_name":"demo",
"_context_read_deleted":"no",
"_contex t_auth_token":"b194a1b3275f407d9dfdaf5013b59267",
"_context_tenant":"73640f0046794110936a345e2576601e",
"_context_instance_lock_checked":false,
"_context_is_ admin":false,
"version":"2.0",
"_context_project_id":"73640f0046794110936a345e2576601e",
"_context_user":"aa59e71cc3a24abb86c9aefc1f72342e",
"_context_user_ name":"demo",
"method":"run_instance",
"_context_remote_address":"10.245.122.50"
}
Note that both message has the same request id which is shown by the field
_context_request_id and both message refer to the same VM which is dictated by
the field _unique_id. So, upon receiving the message, the notification system may
know the status of vm creation process.
