[rdo-list] Unable to log in to the VM instance’s console using openstack-mitaka release

Hi All, I have installed OpenStack (i.e., openstack-mitaka release) on CentOS7.2 . Used Fedora20 qcow2 cloud image for creating a VM using Dashboard. 1) Installed “libguestfs” on Nova compute node. 2) Updated these lines in “/etc/nova/nova.conf ” inject_password=true inject_key=true inject_partition=-1 3) Restarted nove-compute: # service openstack-nova-compute restart 4) Enabled setting root password in /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py OPENSTACK_HYPERVISOR_FEATURES = { ….. ‘can_set_password’: True, } 5) Placed the below code in “Customization Script” section of the Launch Instance dialog box in OpenStack. #cloud-config ssh_pwauth: True chpasswd: list: | root: root expire: False runcmd: - [ sh, -c, echo "=========hello world'=========" ] It appears that, when the instance was launched, cloud-init did not change the password for root user, and I was not able to log in to the instance’s console (Dashboard) using username (root) and password (root). it says “Log in incorrect”. Upon checking the boot log found that, cloud-init has executed /var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts/runcmd and printed hello world. Can anyone please let me know where I am wrong ? Thanks in advance for your support and time. Regards, Chinmaya
