Any idea about the issue?

----

To test, I created a separate network, and one instance attached to it.
Assigned floating ip, I can ping and ssh to that instance.

For vmtp I used the same network, but I can only ping the newly created VM (by vmtp) but can not ssh into it.

From reading the log, I think you are using a cirros image. However cirros is so light weighted so iperf/nuttcp won't run over there... You can try a Ubuntu or CentOS image and I am pretty sure it will work for you.

Using Ubuntu 18.04,

I can only ping but can't do ssh, same issue.

No handlers could be found for logger "vmtp_file"

[Nahian Chowdhury (nahian)]

Found the solution,

In my case The VM instance took more time to finish all the setup, So I increased ssh-retrying to 200, it was 50 before, 100 was not enough.

I see, good you found the issue! :)
