Failed to create instance with config_drive

[Alexander Gubanov]

When I try to create instance with config_drive it fails with error message:
"No valid host was found. There are not enough hosts available."

without "config_drive" option it created successfully.

Env: MOS 7.0 (build 257) Ubuntu - HA - Neutron VLAN
3 controllers, 2 compute with Ceph for all (volumes/images/ephemeral volumes)

Details: http://pastebin.com/UugNEQ3F

Steps to reproduce:

(create instance with config_drive)

nova boot --image TestVM --flavor m1.micro --nic net-id=$(neutron net-list | awk '/net04 / {print $2}') --config-drive=true test1

The same error on mos7.0 (build 260) with Cinder.

The traceback from #1 shows that genisoimage package is not installed and config drive format defaults to ISO9660:

While fixing this by installing genisoimage is easy, I'm not sure that's a good idea to use ISO9660 formatted config drives due to a known libvirt issue - https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1246201 , which breaks live migration of instances, if ISO9660 formatted config drive is used.

This is what User Guide recommends too: http://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/cli_config_drive.html

I'd rather we fix this in puppet manifests and ensure `config_drive_format` option is set to `vfat`.
