Environment

  • Platform9 Managed OpenStack - All Versions

Cause

  • The hosts' DNS servers are unable to resolve the Management Plane URL.

  • If you’re running Ubuntu 16.10 or later, your DNS resolution will be managed by the systemd-resolved service. If this service is restarted any changes applied in the file /etc/resolv.conf which is a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf will be lost.

Resolution

  1. It will be necessary to contact your DNS provider or internal network team that maintains your environments' DNS server(s) in order to troubleshoot the root cause.

  2. If the DNS resolution is managed by systemd-resolved service in Ubuntu 16.10 or later, You can disable the service and create a regular /etc/resolv.conf file.
