Ubuntu
nova-lxd package

unable to connect multiple nics

Asked by todd

I am using nova-lxd (deployed through conjure-up) on Ubuntu 16.04 ppc64le (after the deployment I updated nova-lxd from source to capture a config-drive fix). I can deploy single nic instances through openstack and nova cli just fine. However, when I attempt to deploy an instance connected to two networks, I am unable to bring up a new network interface to connect to the second network...I get the following error after adding the eth1 config and running eth1 up:

Cannot find device "eth1"
Error getting hardware address for "eth1": No such device

I see lines like the followin in dmesg:

[211992.226401] eth1: renamed from vethKH9XYD
[213534.170157] eth1: renamed from vethJQSWNT
[214691.911696] eth1: renamed from veth5ULLLR
[214750.991335] eth1: renamed from vethO27EMV
[215786.633686] eth1: renamed from veth91JN5S
[215816.666258] eth1: renamed from vethQJRL34
[219408.490574] eth1: renamed from vethXI9ED4

Additionally, while directly using LXD - I am able to add an additional device (eth1) in the default lxd profile (`lxc profile edit default`) on the nova-compute host and then launch (`lxc launch`). The new container will have two nics.

I am using the following versions:

lxd version: 2.0.9
nova-lxd version: 15.0.0ish (build from latest checkin on 17 March)
nova: 7.1.0
neutron: 4.1.1

I am using the following image:

Thank you for any help you can offer and I apologize if this question was asked to the wrong folks.

Seems to be called gretap0 and not eth1

Can you help with this problem?
