Can't attach a Volume to a VM

Have configured the c-mode with drivers for VM.

Ubuntu with Icehouse

From GUI and Command i am able see the volume attach working without error when i check from the vm i do not see any attached volume to the vms.

I believe this is nothing to do with cinder as this api is more related nova, just wanted to know if anyone is aware of this kida problem.

Fixed.

I am using separate nodes for all compute an block. I had to install  nfs-common on the compute node which i did not.

The logs are as below on Compute node with while attaching the volume:

This gave me a clue why it was failing

Hi pravinp,

I have seen this type of behavior before. For me, I had my data lif set to accept the wrong protocol (I was using the iSCSI driver, but my lif only allowed nfs). Unfortunately, an unsuccessful attach doesn't usually leave any user-facing traces, other than the volume still being in "available" state, and nova not showing the attachment. You should check the cinder volume and nova logs for errors during the attach process to try and figure out what has gone wrong.
