Hello Folks, Hope you are doing well ! I have a compute node (SRIOV) in my RedHat Openstack 13 Lab. I have a task to remove the sriov compute and add it back as a dpdk compute node. After removing this node as scale-in activity via overcloud stack when I tried to add it again, introspection for this node is failing. After looking into the logs in undercloud , it appears like it is not getting the ip address from pxe. # cat /var/log/messages|grep -i "0c:42:a1:45:03:10" --color [image: image.png] [root@director ~]# tcpdump -n -i br-ctlplane -e | grep -i "0c:42:a1:45:03:10" --color tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on br-ctlplane, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes 23:54:08.653057 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 436: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 394 23:54:12.669877 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 436: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 394 23:54:20.744605 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 436: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 394 23:54:36.839226 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 436: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 394 23:56:48.967623 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:00:00:00:16, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 90: :: > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 1 group record(s), length 28 23:56:49.044752 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 342: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 300 23:56:49.269645 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:ff:45:03:10, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 86: :: > ff02::1:ff45:310: ICMP6, neighbor solicitation, who has fe80::e42:a1ff:fe45:310, length 32 23:56:49.781577 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:00:00:00:16, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 90: :: > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 1 group record(s), length 28 23:56:50.271663 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:00:00:00:16, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 90: fe80::e42:a1ff:fe45:310 > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 1 group record(s), length 28 23:56:50.271922 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:00:00:00:02, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 70: fe80::e42:a1ff:fe45:310 > ff02::2: ICMP6, router solicitation, length 16 23:56:50.368576 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:00:00:00:16, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 90: fe80::e42:a1ff:fe45:310 > ff02::16: HBH ICMP6, multicast listener report v2, 1 group record(s), length 28 23:56:54.274049 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:00:00:00:02, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 70: fe80::e42:a1ff:fe45:310 > ff02::2: ICMP6, router solicitation, length 16 23:56:54.675024 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 342: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 300 23:56:58.282332 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > 33:33:00:00:00:02, ethertype IPv6 (0x86dd), length 70: fe80::e42:a1ff:fe45:310 > ff02::2: ICMP6, router solicitation, length 16 23:57:07.638252 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 342: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 300 23:57:10.053205 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 342: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 300 23:57:18.720085 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 342: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 300 23:57:32.817306 0c:42:a1:45:03:10 > Broadcast, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 342: 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 0c:42:a1:45:03:10, length 300 Physical connectivity of this node is intact.
