Microstack.init Compute node fail to join

#1

I installed microstack following instructions on Ubuntu site for “Multi-node OpenStack deployment” on Ubuntu Desktop 20.02 LTS on Intel NUC hardware.
Install results were successful.
Latest microstack version ussuri was installed in devmode
Initialised Control node successfully with IP address 192.168.1.141.
Compute node with IP address 192.168.1.142 failed to join microstack with control node.
Key Traceback statements are:
Exception: Failed to get info from control node:
and
subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command ‘(microstack_join’,) returned non-zero exit status 1.

Any idea on cause of problems?
Are there any known issues with latest version of microstack on latest LTS?

It sounds like the MicroStack compute node might be having some trouble routing requests to the control node. I just dropped a comment on a bug tracking egress issues in MicroStack here:

MicroStack could definitely do more sophisticated things with networking config, especially on machines with multiple NICs. You might look through the system logs (journalctl -xe) to see if there are any obvious errors in MicroStack services, or any interesting networking related messages in the log.

#3

When I ran microstack.init again, there were NO Microstack service errors reported in system logs.
The full transcript is:
