Hi list, during upgrade process from Mitaka to Ocata we were having troubles with two services: openstack-nova-api-metadata.service openstack-nova-api-os-compute.service They wouldn't start because of "address already in use" errors since metadata is served by neutron successfully, so we disabled these two services and didn't face any issue since. Now I stumbled upon this again because I wanted to write a little script, so I tried to figure out, if these services are still necessary in Ocata if you use neutron networking. I always check the OBS docs [1] for config changes etc.,and it still has this section for nova.conf: ---cut here--- [DEFAULT] # ... enabled_apis = osapi_compute,metadata ---cut here--- This has been enabled since Mitaka in our nova.conf. Since I have already faced some mismatches between the docs, I compared the compute chapters between OBS and Ubuntu docs [2], and indeed, in Ubuntu guide there are no "enabled_apis" mentioned for nova.conf (both control and compute nodes). So I'm assuming this should be applicable to OBS guide, right? So my question is, could I simply remove (or move) the service files /usr/lib/systemd/system/openstack-nova-api-metadata.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/openstack-nova-api-os-compute.service because they are not needed? Should I report a bug in Launchpad for this? Any insights are appreciated! Have a nice weekend! Best regards, Eugen [1] https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/install-guide-obs/nova-controller-install.h...
