Check for the max files in nova boot command fails

[b.sudhakoushik]

I tried to create a nova server injecting 7 files, when i checked the max number of files allowed for that Tenant through nova absolute-limits is 6.

Ideally i guess it should throw an error saying the limit got exceeded

nova --version 2.18.1.32

steps i followed

1) nova boot --flavor m1.tiny --image c60462a7-07e3-4703-bbab-baeaa6b7a2fb --file /home/cirros/abctxt=/home/ubuntu/bsk/abc1 --file /home/cirros/abctxt=/home/ubuntu/bsk/abc1 --file /home/cirros/abctxt=/home/ubuntu/bsk/abc1 --file /home/cirros/abctxt=/home/ubuntu/bsk/abc1 --file /home/cirros/abctxt=/home/ubuntu/bsk/abc1 --file /home/cirros/abctxt=/home/ubuntu/bsk/abc1 --file /home/cirros/abctxt=/home/ubuntu/bsk/abc1 bsk1

Server got created

2) nova absolute-limits
+-------------------------+-------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------+-------+
| maxServerMeta | 128 |
| maxPersonality | 6 |
| maxImageMeta | 128 |
| maxPersonalitySize | 10240 |
| maxTotalRAMSize | 51200 |
| maxSecurityGroupRules | 20 |
| maxTotalKeypairs | 100 |
| totalRAMUsed | 4736 |
| maxSecurityGroups | 10 |
| totalFloatingIpsUsed | 0 |
| totalInstancesUsed | 10 |
| totalSecurityGroupsUsed | 1 |
| maxTotalFloatingIps | 10 |
| maxTotalInstances | 15 |
| totalCoresUsed | 10 |
| maxTotalCores | 20 |
+-------------------------+-------+

i even checked the limits for nova quota-class-show for the tenant 'demo' i am working on.

3) nova quota-class-show demo
+-----------------------------+-------+
| Quota | Limit |
+-----------------------------+-------+
| instances | 10 |
| cores | 20 |
| ram | 51200 |
| floating_ips | 10 |
| fixed_ips | -1 |
| metadata_items | 128 |
| injected_files | 5 |
| injected_file_content_bytes | 10240 |
| injected_file_path_bytes | 255 |
| key_pairs | 100 |
| security_groups | 10 |
| security_group_rules | 20 |

Have you tried using the command line? I got this error, which is not what you got, but is related.

$ nova boot --image cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec --flavor m1.tiny --file /tmp/openrc=/home/thang/git/devstack/openrc test1
ERROR (TypeError): __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'retry_after'

I think providing this via novaclient would be a good low hanging fruit patch

Hi Thang

I tried it with cli...but i could not get such error. Might the nova versions are different.

I get:

$ nova boot --image=f8f69df3-46ba-4344-9b67-56a9ed2a1407 --flavor=42 --file foo=foo --file foo1=foo --file foo2=foo --file foo3=foo --file foo4=foo --file foo5=foo bob
