OpenStack: add security rules failed due to multiple security groups named with "default"

After installed devstack, I follow the doc to set security rules:

$ openstack security group rule create --proto icmp --dst-port 0 default
More than one security_group exists with the name 'default'.

It claims I have multiple security_group which named with default, but I check with nova secgroup-list:

$ nova secgroup-list

| e5466481-f656-46fa-ac72-56f7ab118c70 | default | Default security group |
+--------------------------------------+---------+------------------------+

So, there is only one security group named with default...

Could any one give me some suggestion about that?

Solution

  • Yes that's a common problem when you have multiple tenants, each with a "default" group. The solution I have applied before is to use the group ID instead of the group name when it comes to the "default" group.
