Update July 6th: Reservations for floating IPs at CHI@TACC should work as normal now. 

Update: July 5th

Reservations for Floating IPs at CHI@TACC are still failing, and we are working on a fix.

This only affects reservation for a floating IP. You can work-around this issue by not reserving IP addresses, and using ad-hoc IPs instead. You can find instructions for this method here: https://chameleoncloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/index.html#associating-an-ip-address

Provisioning failures for CHI@TACC

We discovered an issue preventing DHCP from working when provisioning nodes, this has now been resolved.
If you saw error messages like:

Exceeded maximum number of retries. Failed to provision instance <uuid>: Timeout reached while waiting for callback for node <uuid>

or that the instance simply failed to start after a long while at TACC during this time, please try again, as this may have been the cause.
