nova list no IP address info for some instances.

[MarginHu]

Hi Guys:

"nova list" command output has no IP address info for some instances ,but other have it; I don't know why.

for example,there is no network info for GL-app-server-1 but GL-app-server-2 in "nova list" output , and I can query it has an interface by "nova interface-list",why?

[root@cloud-01 ~]# nova list --all |grep app-server
| d1d09a01-7ea6-4c28-af67-a3f6ea4cd9f7 | GL-app-server-1 | b7b2911d635c4657b5bf875b99e0ca14 | ACTIVE | - | Running | |
| 37afa02b-eed9-4c71-8246-250463a5a9c6 | GL-app-server-2 | b7b2911d635c4657b5bf875b99e0ca14 | ACTIVE | - | Running | ex-eit-test=11.225.11.16 |

[root@cloud-01 ~]# nova interface-list d1d09a01-7ea6-4c28-af67-a3f6ea4cd9f7

nova --version
7.1.1

Which server release are you on? nova --version is the client release.

What does a 'nova show' look like between a server with and without the IP address information in the 'nova list' output?

My guess is that nova list is pulling information out of the nova.instance_info_caches table and the interface-list command is pulling port information directly from neutron, and the instance_info_caches is out of sync with neutron. You could check the nova database for a given instance (like d1d09a01-7ea6-4c28-af67-a3f6ea4cd9f7), to be sure. And check the logs for errors/warnings related to instance d1d09a01-7ea6-4c28-af67-a3f6ea4cd9f7 and something about the network info cache.
