Creating VM: Key pair not found...

[pako-grape]

I am trying to deploy bosh to CityCloud OpenStack. Stemcell was successfully uploaded, but there's an error when creating VM:

Command 'deploy' failed:
  Deploying:
    Creating instance 'bosh/0':
      Creating VM:
        Creating vm with stemcell cid 'b8d5b160-1f95-4dd9-9bb6-f5eedf958578':
          CPI 'create_vm' method responded with error: CmdError{"type":"Bosh::Clouds::CloudError","message":"Key-pair `grape' not found","ok_to_retry":false}

Part of bosh.yml file:

openstack: &openstack
      auth_url: https://identity1.citycloud.com:5000/v3/
      project: MY_PROJECT_NAME
      username: MY_USERNAME
      api_key: MY_PASSWORD
      default_key_name: grape
      default_security_groups: [open]
      domain: MY_DOMAIN_NAME
      region: Lon1

But this key exists and I can use it to connect to instances created from dashboard. Have anyone an idea what can be wrong here?

Problem was rather solved... I had to create key-pair using nova client instead of dashboard.

@voelzmo might be worth to include it in the openstack errors doc section. wdyt?

That's interesting, I've never that before. Especially, if creating VMs from the dashboard worked out for you with the key generated from the dashboard, @pawel2-grape.

Using a key generated from Horizon for deploying bosh works perfectly fine for me. If you don't mind, could you do a cross-check and try to nova boot an instance with a key generated from the dashboard? If that doesn't work, it seems like a problem with CityCloud rather than a generic problem. In theory, those two ways of creating a VM should be using the same API (as the OpenStack CPI as well), so either all or none of these ways should work.

Like can be expected:) In horizon I have created key-pair (I can launch an instance from horizon with this key). Launching nova boot:

ERROR (BadRequest): Invalid key_name provided. (HTTP 400)

So like @voelzmo said, there must be something wrong with CityCloud.

Thanks for your responses :)

Make sure that the same username was used for creating the key and creating the instance. The keypairs aren't shared between users.
