Floating ip pool not found

Question

I'm trying to use vagrant-openstack-provider to manage Bluemix VMs.

All is looking good, except for an error message at the end: Floating ip pool not found.

ERROR warden: Error occurred: Floating ip pool not found.

Is it possible to create an IP pool in the horizon console? If so, how do I do this? I couldn't find any documentation online.

Answer 1

I specified 'private' in the Vagrantfile:

os.floating_ip_pool   = 'private'

I should have been using 'Public-Network' instead:

os.floating_ip_pool   = 'Public-Network'

I didn't realise at the time, but you can find the floating_ip_pool with:

snowch$ vagrant openstack floatingip-list
