Hi,

We are glad to present this week's priorities and subteam report for Ironic. As usual, this is pulled directly from the Ironic whiteboard[0] and formatted.

This Week's Priorities (as of the weekly ironic meeting)
========================================================
1. Finishing the ironic pike release
    1.1. needs the reno prelude: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/495316/
    1.2. also fix for iRMC BFV capability name? +1 rloo master: https://review.openstack.org/495736
2. Refactoring of the way we access clients: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1699547
3. Review specs in preparation for the PTG

Pike Release Plan
=================

- As of Thur Aug 17, in absence of PTL, as discussed with TheJulia, rloo, sambetts, vdrok :)
- see discussion before/after http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-ironic/%23openstack-ironic.2017-08-17.log.html#t2017-08-17T13:18:35

1. Revert reno-prelude patch: https://review.openstack.org/494542 - MERGED
2. Cut a stable/pike release, version 9.0.0 - proposed to openstack/releases https://review.openstack.org/#/c/494530/2 - ttx has confirmed he will process the request - DONE
3.1. For CI to work on master, these need to land: 
	- Increase host_subset_size for ironic https://review.openstack.org/#/c/493990/ - MERGED on all branches
	- Adds 9.0 to release_mappings
		- master: https://review.openstack.org/494620 - MERGED
		- stable/pike; https://review.openstack.org/#/c/494662/ - MERGED
	- Get rid of sourcing stackrc in grenade settings https://review.openstack.org/#/c/480905/ MERGED
3.2. For CI to work on stable/pike, this needs to land:
	- Increase host_subset_size for ironic https://review.openstack.org/#/c/493991/ - MERGED
	- release mapping for 9.0 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/494662/ - MERGED
4. Land patches in master and backport to stable/pike. NOTE: the backported patch must pass CI first, before landing master patch. - DONE
	- patches for iDRAC hardware type (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/491263/ MERGED on master)
		- https://review.openstack.org/494737 MERGED
5. reno-prelude patch - actually, TheJulia and rloo think this should ONLY go into stable/pike branch... ++
	- (TheJulia) Local tests reveal that the output still appears as expected. Master branch will need to receieve "sem-ver: feature" afterwards.
6. Cut first offical stable/pike release 9.1.0 from head of stable/pike
	(TheJulia) I believe 2 are required, 9.0.1 with a reno saying stating what occured in case anyone tries to package >9.0.x,<9.1.0 9.0.1 released, 9.1.0 to follow in a few days
post-mortem: discuss grenade issues wrt not having a stable/release branch until after 'every project that counts' has; we need to come up with a process to handle this since it has occurred since Ocata: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-February/111849.html

Rolling upgrades and grenade-partial (rloo, jlvillal)
-----------------------------------------------------
- spec approved; code patches: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526283
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - Testing work: done as per spec, but rloo wants to ask vasyl whether we can improve. grenade test will do upgrade so we have old API sending requests to old and/or new conductor, but rloo doesn't think there is anything to control -which- conductor handles the request, so what if old conductor handles all the requests?
        - outstanding: add 'ironic-dbsync online_data_migrations' call to regular grenade test (not multinode test because grenade multinode test doesn't upgrade all services)
    - to address restarting services after unpinning, spec ready for reviews: 'SIGHUP restarts services with updated configs': https://review.openstack.org/474309
    - outstanding: dev documentation needs updating: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/419439/

        - apparently all merged in Pike
    - API for hardware interface properties:
        - proposed spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/471174/
            - rloo checked with dtantsur, is is not needed for completion of driver composition
