So here's my findings: With https://github.com/openstack/python-tempestconf/commit/ca51d4d94c7b87444c65eb33734ee76e74834188 we added support to microversions and so, tempest started to have compute.min_microversion and compute.max_microversion option in tempest.conf. With these two options, the test tempest test_auto_allocate_network started to run. This test tries to create 3 servers, and auto allocate networks for that, failing with this: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/api/compute/admin/test_auto_allocate_network.py", line 177, in test_server_multi_create_auto_allocate min_count=3) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/common/compute.py", line 198, in create_test_server **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/lib/services/compute/servers_client.py", line 97, in create_server resp, body = self.post('servers', post_body) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/lib/common/rest_client.py", line 283, in post return self.request('POST', url, extra_headers, headers, body, chunked) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/lib/services/compute/base_compute_client.py", line 48, in request method, url, extra_headers, headers, body, chunked) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/lib/common/rest_client.py", line 679, in request self._error_checker(resp, resp_body) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/lib/common/rest_client.py", line 790, in _error_checker raise exceptions.BadRequest(resp_body, resp=resp) tempest.lib.exceptions.BadRequest: Bad request Details: {u'message': u'Unable to automatically allocate a network for project 5dbbfe79176e475f9d02c346b3dc03fc', u'code': 400} Checking the documentation in [1] in order to have the "Get me a network" behavior, required to execute this test, you need to have a shared pool, and the default network and router configured. In that case, I went and create a subnet pool with the following command: # set the public network as default openstack network set public --default # Create the subnet pool openstack subnet pool create --share --default --pool-prefix 10.0.0.0/24 --default-prefix-length 26 shared-default Then I got this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/api/compute/admin/test_auto_allocate_network.py", line 177, in test_server_multi_create_auto_allocate min_count=3) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/common/compute.py", line 253, in create_test_server for server in servers: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oslo_utils/excutils.py", line 220, in __exit__ self.force_reraise() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oslo_utils/excutils.py", line 196, in force_reraise six.reraise(self.type_, self.value, self.tb) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/common/compute.py", line 236, in create_test_server clients.servers_client, server['id'], wait_until) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tempest/common/waiters.py", line 76, in wait_for_server_status server_id=server_id) tempest.exceptions.BuildErrorException: Server 2b0cf5c8-1707-461d-8836-2730be4cf3bd failed to build and is in ERROR status Details: {u'message': u'Exceeded maximum number of retries.

Now, I am not an neutron specialist here, so my suggestion is one of the bellow: 1 - Keep the test in the skip list 2 - Contact someone who understand about network, to show us how to really configure the subnet pool properly based on our network configuration I also want to point, this test wasn't being executed before. Here's how validate-tempest create the public network to execute the tests: openstack network create public --external \ --provider-network-type flat \ --provider-physical-network datacentre openstack network set datacentre --default openstack subnet create ext-subnet \ --allocation-pool \ start=10.0.0.100,end=10.0.0.120 \ --no-dhcp \ --gateway 10.0.0.1 \ --network public \ --subnet-range 10.0.0.0/24 I believe we must set a way to link the subnet pool with the ext-subnet, but I don't know how. I check the documentation, but I wasn't able to find it. 1 - https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/rocky/admin/config-auto-allocation.html
