Can not attach volume to instance when iscsi multipath enabled

[Kyrylo Romanenko]

Steps:
1. Deploy environment of released MOS 7.0 (MirantisOpenStack-7.0.iso)
Settings:
Kilo on Ubuntu 14.04
1 controller, 1 compute, 1 cinder node.
Cinder LVM over iSCSI for volumes, Neutron VLAN, QEMU

2. SSH to compute node.
3. Configure "iscsi_use_multipath=True" in [libvirt] section of /etc/nova/nova.conf on compute node.
4. Then restart nova-compute service.
5. Create an instance.
6. Create volume and try to attach it to the instance.

CLI Output looks like volume attached succesfully:
# nova volume-attach instance 04fcb29e-76a2-4a32-b815-3fb7a30ad21c auto
+----------+--------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |

| volumeId | 04fcb29e-76a2-4a32-b815-3fb7a30ad21c |
+----------+--------------------------------------+

# nova show instance output shows that no volume attached to specified instance:

| os-extended-volumes:volumes_attached | [] |

Also Horizon shows that volume is not attached to instance.

Bug affects also MOS 7.0 MU1 package.

Ubuntu for cluster nodes:

Verified than current bug does not affect actual MOS 8.0 build for example on:

Look like it's not an cinder issue.

[Ivan Kolodyazhny (e0ne)]

Environment is not configured for multipath

[Kyrylo Romanenko (kromanenko)]

I found that packages open-iscsi and multipath-tools should be installed to compute node.

[Kyrylo Romanenko (kromanenko)]

So, if we have option to set multipath in nova configs, then should open-iscsi and multipath-tools packages be preinstalled on Compute? Or it is expected situation that openstack admin should install those packages manually?

[Timur Nurlygayanov (tnurlygayanov)]

looks like it is expected behaviour, so, bug description is invalid then.
