Diagnosing Tripleo Failures Redux

Hardy Steven has provided an invaluable reference with his troubleshooting blog post. However, I recently had a problem that didn’t quite match what he was showing. Zane Bitter got me oriented.

Upon a redeploy, I got a failure.

$ openstack stack list
+--------------------------------------+------------+---------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| ID                                   | Stack Name | Stack Status  | Creation Time       | Updated Time        |
+--------------------------------------+------------+---------------+---------------------+---------------------+

+--------------------------------------+------------+---------------+---------------------+---------------------+

Listing the Failed resources:

$  heat resource-list --nested-depth 5 overcloud | grep FAILED
| ControllerNodesPostDeployment                 | 7ae99682-597f-4562-9e58-4acffaf7aaac          | OS::TripleO::ControllerPostDeployment                                           | UPDATE_FAILED   | 2016-08-16T14:44:42 | overcloud 

No deployment listed. How to display the error? We want to show the resource named ControllerNodesPostDeployment associated with the overcloud stack:

$ heat resource-show overcloud ControllerNodesPostDeployment

Note this message:

Engine went down during resource

Looking in the journal:

Aug 16 15:16:15 undercloud kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 17127 (heat-engine) score 60 or sacrifice child
Aug 16 15:16:15 undercloud kernel: Killed process 17127 (heat-engine) total-vm:834052kB, anon-rss:480936kB, file-rss:1384kB

Just like Brody said, we are going to need a bigger boat.
