PNDA deploy failed - Stack cation CREATE_FAILED

Question

Hello Sir
Greetings
We are facing an error while deploying the pnda pico stack using this command:-
$ ./heat_cli.py -e cation5  -n 1  -k 1  -f pico -s  cation5  create
The command runs for about 10 min and then gives an error like:-

2017-07-20 13:35:20Z [Key]: CREATE_COMPLETE  state changed

2017-07-20 13:46:30Z [cation5]: CREATE_FAILED  Resource CREATE failed: Error: resources.deploy_package: Deployment to server failed: deploy_status_code : Deployment exited with non-zero status code: 2

 Stack cation5 CREATE_FAILED

We cannot get any clue about the error source because the logs of pnda are unable to be read using the command: ./heat_cli.py logs -e cation5
Any help or hints is highly appreciated!

Thanks

Answer 1

Please use the OpenStack command line tools to inspect the output of the stacks and resources. This will likely point to the problem.

If you're not familiar with how to do this, please refer to the OpenStack documentation.

This is an example of a script that uses some of these command line tools - https://github.com/pndaproject/pnda-heat-templates/blob/develop/tools/check-stack.sh

I am also facing the same issue. The process stuck in deploy_package and then failed with status code 2.
