Just started with Grizzly and already been through some minor issues :).

After a fresh installation, while trying to start all the Nova services, I came across the following error from the logs. See below the scheduler logs:

TRACE nova AMQPChannelException: (406, u"PRECONDITION_FAILED - inequivalent arg 'x-ha-policy'for queue 'scheduler' in vhost '/':
received the value 'all' of type 'longstr' but current is none", (50, 10), 'Channel.queue_declare')

This error is quite explicit and not related to OpenStack. Somehow a queue with the same name was already living in this vhost, for which the x-ha-policy was set to none thus while I restarted the nova-scheduler, it reclared the queue with a different policy like so x-ha-policy: all. At the end, we need to purge all the queues to avoid any conflicts.

Quick fix:

$ sudo rabbitmqctl stop_app
$ sudo rabbitmqctl reset
$ sudo rabbitmqctl start_app

Bonus, this how to enable the mirrored queues in your nova.conf:

rabbit_hosts = <ip-rabbit-server1>:5672,<ip-rabbit-server2>:5672
rabbit_ha_queues = True

RabbitMQ needs to be confirmed in clustering mode, see RabbitMQ official documentation.

Enjoy your mirrored queues :D
