How can I login cation-saltmaster virtual machine?

Question

I created the pnda cluster, and it is being provisoning. But it is so slow, so I want to login cation-saltmaster to see what happened. But I see heat_cli uses one keypair created by itself, so how can I login the virtual machine?

Please refer to the section entitled "Anatomy of a PNDA stack" here https://github.com/pndaproject/pnda-guide/blob/release/3.4/repos/pnda-heat-templates/README.md

If your stack is at the point where you only have a saltmaster available, you can try examining the outputs of the stack for the key e.g. openstack stack output list <stack> and openstack stack output show <stack> <output name>. That key can then be used to access saltmaster, although whether the key is present or not depends very much on the reason why the stack is stuck in this state in the first place.

Thanks . I used "openstack stack output show  cation private_key" to get the key.

I see the error :

Then I login the vm with the key , and find the network is unreachable for 10.0.146.60:8080

You need to make sure you have a stable, working OpenStack cluster before deploying PNDA.
