nova fails to launch i386 images

[LaMont Jones]

in nova.conf:
compute_scheduler_driver=nova.scheduler.filter_scheduler.FilterScheduler
scheduler_default_filters=RetryFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,DiskFilter,CoreFilter,RamFilter,ComputeFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter

The openstack deployment has several compute nodes, all of them running 64-bit installs. The above config results in:

vm_type:all does not support requested instance_properties host_passes /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nova/scheduler/filters/image_props_filter.py:83

And error-state for all attempts to launch a 32-bit image.

The same applies with: compute_scheduler_driver=nova.scheduler.chance.ChanceScheduler

Dropping ImagePropertiesFilter from the filters list "fixes" the issue, but clearly there is no reason that the 64-bit box cannot run a 32-bit image in a vm.

We are seeing this in both: nova-scheduler=1:2013.1.4-0ubuntu1~cloud0 and nova-scheduler=1:2013.2-0ubuntu1~cloud0

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I suspect some sort of i386 != i686 mismatch here. Retaining the ImagePropertiesFilter is important for mix architecture envs, so we need to get that matching sorted.

i386 is incorrect according to:

This bug is believed to be fixed in simplestreams in version 0.1.0. If this is still a problem for you, please make a comment and set the state back to New

Thank you.
