Eucalyptus slow to startup with broken connections to :8443/register

[James Page]

Whilst trying to confirm that euca does now startup on oneiric I came across this issue.

Upstart configuration eucalyptus-cloud polls http://hostname:8443/register to detect when eucalyptus has started. This fails silently for some time >= 5 mins.

Manually running the command either remotely or locally has the same results - curl reveal a little more:

jamespage@hendrix:~$ curl -v -k https://192.168.1.52:8443/register
* About to connect() to 192.168.1.52 port 8443 (#0)
* Trying 192.168.1.52... connected
* Connected to 192.168.1.52 (192.168.1.52) port 8443 (#0)
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
* CAfile: none
  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1):

* Closing connection #0
curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to 192.168.1.52:8443

I was eventually able to get a web browser open and perform the initial registration - but it took along time and I still see the error above.

Oddly I seem to have more success once I managed to get a connection over port 8443 using a natty client (via schroot)

Also really slow to restart eucalyptus service

Any chance you can shed some light on the symptoms described in this bug report?

Bug 851611 appears to be the same issue - it looks like certain clients (including wget which is used in the upstart scripts and euca_conf) are unable to negotiate SSL connections with the CLC.

Help much appreciated.

Thanks
