Stack.sh Fail to detect HOST_IP, after changing HOST IP address in cloned machine

[maestropandy]

Hi All,

I am filing this bug after going through

https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/887293

https://bugs.launchpad.net/devstack/+bug/1517199

VM1:

I have cloned devstack/master as non-root user account named "pandy" and ran ./stack.sh, and have given $HOST_IP = 192.168.88.15 ( eth0 = 10.0.2.15, eth1 = 192.168.88.14, mine is virtual box setup) and ran it successfully then taken clone of it and in new clone changed MAC address called "VM2"

VM2
 Changed eth1 = 192.168.88.15 where eth0 remains same being its NAT only not Host-only adapter. Now again ran ./unstack.sh it thrown me error as

devstack$ ./unstack.sh
[Call Trace]
./unstack.sh:33:source
/home/pandy/devstack/openrc:27:source
/home/pandy/devstack/stackrc:759:die
[ERROR] /home/pandy/devstack/stackrc:759 Could not determine host ip address. See local.conf for suggestions on setting HOST_IP.

where my devstack is running as non-root user account, so only it was ran properly in VM1, seems devstack fails to read/detect HOST_IP address if do multiple stack.sh, Is it so ?

Thanks

Hi,

Did you check the .localrc.auto file is there ?

[venkatamahesh (venkatamaheshkotha)]

Usually when you run stack.sh , a file (.localrc.auto) will be created. It is nothing but a copy of local.conf. So In your scenario - You have changed the HOST_IP in local.conf in second VM. Try with changing the HOST_IP in .localrc.auto also.
