[election][telemetry] PTL candidacy for Wallaby
by Matthias Runge 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Hi there, I'd like to announce my candidacy to become the next PTL for OpenStack Telemetry for the Wallaby cycle. In the past cycles, we have seen a decrease in contribution for Telemetry related projects. We have also seen the lengthy discussion around gnocchi or the lack of a TSDB in OpenStack. A few months ago, I joined the project and helped with reviews and bug fixes. For the next cycle, I would like to address the a few short term but also some longer term issues such as: - finish cleaning up the python2 to python3 migration. - get a better understanding (and a solution) for the various telemetry gates being blocked - recently, heat stopped testing auto-scaling via aodh and gnocchi, because it was too unstable. I'd like to address that as well. - We haven't had a planning or a roadmap for about the last 1.5 cycles. That is something to do in the future. Thank you for your support and your consideration. Matthias Runge

by Hamidreza Hosseini 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Hi, I've some disks on my swift object storage that they filled and I made them read only by /etc/fstab I think this isn't true adjustment, Anyway, can I solve this problem (I mean full disks ) without changing the ring and just by configuring the proxy to send put /get requests to empty disks but just Get requests to empty disk? Best regards.

[ironic] Proposing returning Jay Faulkner to ironic-core
by Julia Kreger 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Greetings ironic contributors, I'm sure many of you have noticed JayF has been more active on IRC over the past year. Recently he started reviewing and providing feedback on changes in ironic-python-agent as well as some work to add new features and fix some very not fun bugs. Given that he was ironic-core when he departed the community, I believe it is only fair that we return those rights to him. Any objections? -Julia

Question about faafo
by Jesus Aransay 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Dear all, I know that faafo ( https://opendev.org/openstack/faafo ) is no longer being maintained, but I still use it to present some service deployment in my teaching about cloud systems. The application still runs nicely in Ubuntu1804, but I tried to configure the RabbitMQ queue to be created in the publisher (Service API), instead of in the consumers (Service Worker), but I failed. My intention was to show that messages could be published in the queue without any workers having been deployed yet. I thought adding a "maybe_declare" statement in the publisher "would do the trick": https://github.com/jmaransay/faafo/blob/478428f11d92cc22d1be396afec3c787136… But still the message queue is only created when the first worker machine is deployed. Does anybody still have some clue about why the application was configured like that, or how the queue could be created in the publisher? Any hints would be highly appreciated, thank you very much in advance, Jesús -- Jesús María Aransay Azofra Universidad de La Rioja Dpto. de Matemáticas y Computación tlf.: (+34) 941299438 fax: (+34) 941299460 mail: jesus-maria.aransay(a)unirioja.es web: http://www.unirioja.es/cu/jearansa Edificio Científico Tecnológico-CCT, c/ Madre de Dios, 53 26006, Logroño, España

Ussuri CentOS 8 add mptsas driver to introspection initramfs
by Oliver Weinmann 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

Hi, I already asked this question on serverfault. But I guess here is a better place. I have a very ancient hardware with a MPTSAS controller. I use this for TripleO deployment testing. With the release of Ussuri which is running CentOS8, I can no longer provision my overcloud nodes as the MPTSAS driver has been removed in CentOS8: https://www.reddit.com/r/CentOS/comments/d93unk/centos8_and_removal_mpt2sas… I managed to include the driver provided from ELrepo in the introspection image but It is not loaded automatically: All commands are run as user "stack". Extract the introspection image: cd ~ mkdir imagesnew cd imagesnew tar xvf ../ironic-python-agent.tar mkdir ~/ipa-tmp cd ~/ipa-tmp /usr/lib/dracut/skipcpio ~/imagesnew/ironic-python-agent.initramfs | zcat | cpio -ivd | pax -r Extract the contents of the mptsas driver rpm: rpm2cpio ~/kmod-mptsas-3.04.20-3.el8_2.elrepo.x86_64.rpm | pax -r Put the kernel module in the right places. To figure out where the module has to reside I installed the rpm on a already deployed node and used find to locate it. xz -c ./usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64/extra/mptsas/mptsas.ko > ./usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64/kernel/drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.ko.xz mkdir ./usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64/weak-updates/mptsas sudo ln -sf /lib/modules/4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64/extra/mptsas/mptsas.ko lib/modules/4.18.0-193.6.3.el8_2.x86_64/weak-updates/mptsas.ko sudo chown root . -R find . 2>/dev/null | sudo cpio --quiet -c -o | gzip -8 > ~/images/ironic-python-agent.initramfs Upload the new image cd ~/images openstack overcloud image upload --update-existing --image-path /home/stack/images/ Now when I start the introspection and ssh into the host I see no disks: [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l [root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep mptsas Once i manually load the driver, I can see the disks: [root@localhost ~]# modprobe mptsas [root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep mptsas mptsas 69632 0 mptscsih 45056 1 mptsas mptbase 98304 2 mptsas,mptscsih scsi_transport_sas 45056 1 mptsas [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 67.1 GiB, 71999422464 bytes, 140623872 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes But how can I make it so that it will automatically load on boot? Best Regards, Oliver

[election][manila] PTL candidacy for Wallaby
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

Hello Zorillas and all interested stackers, I'd like to submit my candidacy to be the PTL for the OpenStack Manila team through the Wallaby cycle. I am no longer a stranger to this role, and I've had an excellent team to work with during the past two cycles that serving as PTL has become an absolute pleasure besides being an honor. I've learned by experience that a successful project leader is one that has a great team. I seek to lead an aspirational team that goes all distances to grow, as is evidenced by every member spending a substantial amount of their time mentoring new contributors, and providing an on-boarding ramp to OpenStack - whether this is through informal introductions along the sidelines of conferences, or stray explorers finding us on IRC/email, or engaging with invaluable supporters of diversity and curiosity in the likes of Outreachy, Google Summer of Code, and the Grace Hopper Celebration. I seek to lead a committed team that wants to learn and better itself continuously. We've adopted a proactive policy to bug triage that has kept us rooted to users and their pain points; These bug triages have led to effective (and fun) community "doc-a-thon" and "bug-a-thon" events. Many a times, great effort does not result in great glory. I am proud of the work we do to enhance e2e testing. There are no press releases that reflect this, but I assure you that this work matters a lot to our users. I seek to lead an informed team. Innovation arrives here often by standing on the shoulders of the giants. The team works with technology that's been perfected over decades, as well as with novel breakthroughs of the recent years. We participate in adjacent communities, and adapt while also advocating the lessons we learned in this one. So, if you will have me, I wish to serve you through Wallaby and get things done. Apart from our commitment to OpenStack-wide goals, and the improvements we've charted out, I wish to prioritize a few more work items: - Improve fault tolerance - we've identified some gaps in resource health when certain kinds of service disruptions occur, we'll fix these up. - Achieve OpenStackCLI/SDK/UI parity - there's a lot left to do in this space, and we've actively been chipping away at this for the past two cycles. - API policy improvements - work on the "admin-everywhere" problem with the pop-up team and support fine grained policies in tune with the model of multi-tenancy we cater to. Thank you for your support, Goutham Pacha Ravi <gouthampravi(a)gmail.com> IRC: gouthamr

[baremetal-sig][ironic] Redfish interoperability profiles: status meeting
by Arne Wiebalck 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

Dear all, This cycle, the Ironic community has started to work on Redfish interoperability profiles [0]. These profiles allow to describe requirements for a Redfish endpoint and to automatically verify them via tools like [1]. The aim of this activity is to have an easy way for both vendors and operators to validate that specific hardware is compatible with the Redfish support in Ironic. We will be meeting next week to discuss the current status of this activity. A representative from the DMTF (as the defining body for the Redfish standard) has kindly agreed to join us. Everybody interested is welcome, of course: Thu Sep 24 at 12pm UTC https://cern.zoom.us/j/94808950339 Any question, let us know! Cheers, Richard & Arne [0] https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0272_1.0.0_… [1] https://github.com/DMTF/Redfish-Interop-Validator
