virtual machine - Openstack VM instance SHUTOFF after few minute -

for learning purpose have build openstack on virtualbox 2 vcpu , 4gb memory. installed , able start vm instances happened guest vm got shutoff status after few minutes. have google issue didn't proper answer. have check logs , didn't find suspicious.

• how check vm console can see going on there?

• where should check shutoff specific error logs, meant in file?

edit:

following output of nova console-log stuck there not going ahead , can't see login screen too

you can guest console on dashboard or command:

nova get-vnc-console <instance id> novnc 

if guest image redirects console messages (like ubuntu cloud image), can see boot messages on dashboard or command:

nova console-log <instance id> 

you may clues in /var/log/nova/nova-compute.log , in hypervisor logs (/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log qemu/kvm).

a possible cause guest can't boot on primary disk , stuck on boot sequence. try other images, the ones proposed in openstack documentation.
