This article describes the OSP13 + Contrail Networking 5.1.0 deployment failure with the error "The Resource Type (OS::TripleO::Services::ContrailCertmongerUser) could not be found" and indicates that re-installing the undercloud will resolve the error.

The following error is observed:

This error occurs because the undercloud is missing the overcloud swift object.

Re-installation of the undercloud by using the following command will create the swift object and the deployment will then be successful:

openstack undercloud install
