Could not find a running instance of service

I'm using Cloudify 2.7 with OpenStack Icehouse.

I have deployed a tomct service behind a load balancer apache, using the following application grooxy:

application {

name="servizio_tomcat"

service {
    name = "LB_apache"
}
service {
    name = "tomcat"
    dependsOn = ["LB_apache"]
}
}

Now, the Load Balancer (LB) was started succesfully, whereas the tomcat service returns the following log:

2015-07-10 15:40:00,705 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.launcher.DefaultProcessLauncher] - tomcat_install.groovy: Tomcat installazione terminata 2015-07-10 15:40:01,039 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.launcher.DefaultProcessLauncher] - Command exited with value: 0 2015-07-10 15:40:01,239 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.USMEventLogger.vm1.tomcat] - vm1.tomcat-1 INSTALL completed, duration: 69.2 seconds 2015-07-10 15:40:01,240 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.UniversalServiceManagerBean] - Waiting for dependencies 2015-07-10 15:40:01,240 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.UniversalServiceManagerBean] - Waiting for dependency: vm1.LB_apache 2015-07-10 15:40:01,241 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.UniversalServiceManagerBean] - Waiting for PU: vm1.LB_apache 2015-07-10 15:40:01,242 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.UniversalServiceManagerBean] - Waiting for PUI of service: vm1.LB_apache for 1799998 Milliseconds 2015-07-10 15:40:02,246 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.UniversalServiceManagerBean] - Timeout ended. processing unit vm1.LB_apache found result is false 2015-07-10 15:40:02,246 vm1.tomcat [1] INFO [org.cloudifysource.usm.UniversalServiceManagerBean] - Could not find a running instance of service: vm1.LB_apache.

--EDITED-- Moreover, the LB_apache load balancer service was succesfully started, as follows:

Can someone help me to understand that warning? Thanks

This log file only contains INFO logs, not errors. The log lines just indicate that the instance of the Apache load balancer has not started yet. The tomcat instance is configured to 'depend' on the load balancer instance. As a result, tomcat will not be started until the load balancer has started and completed registering to the Cloudify cluster.

The tomcat service will keep waiting until the Apache instance is up.
