Hi Saurav,

This mailing list is for the Chef cookbooks, roles, and environment 
definitions related to deploying OpenStack with Chef. I think you will 
get more replies on the main Chef mailing list:

I've cc'd the main Chef mailing list on my reply here.

From your error above, it looks like your compute instance's name is 
"ihsnode04.target.com.novalocal". From what I can tell, you will want to 
set the dhcp_domain setting in your nova.conf file to something other 
than "novalocal" (the default). grep for dhcp_domain here:

All the best,
