[one-users] VM can not start, STATE is always PEND, NO error info output( system locale cause it!!!)

[Carsten.Friedrich at csiro.au]

Your output of “onehost list” does not look good. It is not reporting TCPU or FCPU correctly and ACPU is very small. Also TMEM seems incorrect and TMEM very small. Your VM is most likely “pending” as OpenNebula cannot find a cloud node with enough  resources to fulfil the requirements of the VM template. This is not surprising when looking at the “onehost list” output.
How many cores and how much RAM does work-node1 actually have? If this number is big enough to fulfil the requirements of the VM template you should be able to launch the VM once you fix the “onehost list” problem.

Hi,

Problem:
I had installed openNebula in ubuntu 10.04. but can not start any vm. the output of "onevm list" shows that the STAT is always PEND. and I couldn't find any error in log files.

$ onehost list
  ID NAME              CLUSTER  RVM   TCPU   FCPU   ACPU    TMEM    FMEM STAT
   5 work-node1        default    0      0      0    100      0K  366.6M   on

$ onevm list
   ID     USER     NAME STAT CPU     MEM        HOSTNAME        TIME
    9 oneadmin ttylinux pend   0      0K                 00 00:00:33

Cause:
finally I found what cause this problem: It is locale that cause this!
In my ubuntu:
$ cat /etc/default/locale
     LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"
     LANGUAGE="zh_CN:zh"
This would cause IM scripts (e.g. /var/tmp/one/im/kvm.d/kvm.rb) not able to get correct node info. Because in OpenNebula node info gathered by running shell command like "virsh -c qemu:///system nodeinfo".
Locale besides English  will cause problem!

Solution:

 1.  modify /etc/default/locale and add the following to it
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US.en

  2.  echo “export LANGUAGE=en_US:en” >> ~/.bashrc
