Issue with Install and configure controller node in Installation Guide

[Anand Saha]

I was following the OpenStack installation guide for SLES 12. I was in the chapter "Install and configure controller node"

I followed all the steps, and when it came to starting the services, I got one of them failing:

Job for openstack-nova-api.service failed. See "systemctl status openstack-nova-api.service" and "journalctl -xn" for details.

The log had this:

Mar 06 11:58:37 controller openstack-nova-api[14477]: 2016-03-06 11:58:37.234 14488 ERROR nova OperationalError: (pymysql.err.OperationalError) (1045, u"Access denied for user 'nova'@'controller.os.pri' (using password: YES)")

I then logged in to MariaDB and reset the password:

SET PASSWORD FOR 'nova'@'%' = PASSWORD('MyPassword');

That solved my problem. However, I shouldn't have needed to do the password reset, the scripts should have taken care of that. I am sure I followed all the steps in the Guide without a miss.

Pranav,

Can you look at this bug?

[Matt Kassawara (ionosphere80)]

Pranav... or anyone else familiar with SUSE?

[Alexandra Settle (alexandra-settle)]

Andreas - could you shed some light here?

Sorry that it took so long to answer this, this worked fine when testing and I think it's too late now to dig further into this and try to reproduce ;(.
