Failed to start openstack image service glance (openstack-glance-api.service).

[Ratan Kulshreshtha]

Hi

I am unable to start openstack-glance-api.service on my machine, I have followed OpenStack documentation to the point. Systemctl status shows that OpenStack-glance-api.service has failed to start OpenStack image service but openstac-glance-registry.service is active(running).

journalctl -xe shows that

openstack-glance-api.service starts running but it fails after running command:

What version of the "monotonic" library do you have installed?

What version of glance are you trying to install? Ocata? Pike? You'd want to follow the appropriate upper-constraints file here:

Ocata: https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/stable/ocata/upper-constraints.txt#L195

Pike: https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/stable/pike/upper-constraints.txt#L463

I'm marking this as incomplete for Glance and removing Nova since this isn't a Nova bug.

I am using Ocata release, and monotonic version is 1.3.

This appears to have been an issue with version 0.21.0 of eventlet.

https://github.com/openstack/requirements/commit/e3c286a2f22011ae129e13892455a4a25bddeb1b

See linked eventlet bug in that commit message for more details.

Ocata was capped at eventlet 0.19.0, so it would appear upper constraints were not enforced in this deployment.

If eventlet was in fact 0.19.0 or less, we will need to look at changing the upper constraints to a version that did not have this issue.
