Hi All,

I'm new to this mailing list and wasn't quite sure where to ask this question; I recently upgraded to Victoria from Ussuri and am using OVN for networking. One of my compute nodes suddenly has an issue where any instances launched on it are not able to access the provider network. I have confirmed the issue is not the security group configuration, or a firewall on the compute node.

 I ran a tcpdump on the compute node and am able to see the packets to/from the test cirros instance I launched, so it is receiving the replies: (I also cannot ping in the other direction either)

I checked logs from neutron-server, libvirt, nova-compute, and ovn-controller; the only interesting logs that I can see are these in ovn-controller.log:

I'm not exactly sure what these are or where I can find more information on them, but I can see that they are new since the upgrade. The other compute nodes in the cloud are fine, its just this one for some reason. I already tried to rebuild the ovsdb conf.db file on this node, but that didn't seem to change anything.

Help would very much be appreciated, if I am asking in the wrong place, please let me know where I should pose this question. Also, is there an RDO Slack or something similar? I know there is for Kubernetes/Openshift, but I couldn't find one for RDO.

Thanks in advance,
James H
