      Description

      Dear all,

      We are trying to install the latest Orion Context Broker 0.22 on a CentOS
      6.5 instance with instance ID c29a54af-b0bc-4975-aea3-b0ee7fff1c14.

      After half an hour of usage time through ssh, the machine stops being
      reacheable and no further ssh connections are accepted (timeout error).
      Restarting the machine solved this issue before, but that trick does not
      work anymore.

      What can we do to keep virtual machines running and accesible?

      Best regards,
      Rafael M.

        It seems to be a connectivity error or some other infrastructure related problem. Thus, I'm assigning it to the cloud team.

        Account is contact(at)allinbyte.com

        Instance is now:

        Centos-6.5_instance2
        <https://cloud.lab.fiware.org/#nova/instances/5393306c-6d77-4171-b58d-6ef2180e9c48/detail>
        192.168.200.225
        130.206.121.169
        2048 MB RAM | 1 VCPU | 20GB Disk allinbyte_filab ACTIVE None RUNNING

        No matter how many times I restart the machine, create a new one or
        allocate any public IP to it, since last friday neither me nor my
        colleagues have access through ssh (no response at all, like when an ssh
        connection gets blocked by a firewall), and the security group should allow
        connection.

        CentOS machines seem also stuck when starting up in the VNC Display.

        Best regards.
        Rafael M.

        Hi Henar,

        We can currently communicate with the VMs as well as to allocate the public
        IP address, whereas we only use enabler images for the VMs and wait for
        some time for the IP allocation to be effective.

        Nevertheless, we are unable to log in to ubuntu or CentOS 6.5 or CentOS 7
        machines we deploy. We are prompted for a password regardless of the
        certificate, and no message about the certificate is shown (as if
        certificate-based authentication is not enabled). Even adding some tested
        script fragment to create a separate regular sudoer does not seem to create
        a user + password pair which is accepted to log in:

        useradd -m <user>
        echo <user>:<pass> | chpasswd
        echo '<user> ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

        The script works in the VMs based on enabler images for both CentOS and
        Ubuntu.

        Trying to log in in the Qemu results in the same desperating result: login
        failed.

        How can we use the base CentOS images to create a VM where we can log in?

        Best regards!
        Rafael M.

        Hi Henar,

        Today, I created a new CentOS 6.5 as usual and login did work as expected.

        I've accessed with exactly the same commands and certificate permissions
        (600) my colleagues and me used the last 6 times but this time it worked!

        Thank you so much for your support!

        Best regards,
        Rafael M.
