<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Based on the discussion with Russell and
Dan Smith in the nova meeting today, here are some of my notes from the
meeting that can continue the discussion. These are all pretty rough
at the moment so please bear with me, this is more to just get the ball
rolling on ideas.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Notes on powervm CI:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. What OS to run on? Fedora 19,
RHEL 6.4?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> -
Either of those is probably fine, we use RHEL 6.4 right now internally.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Deployment - RDO? SmokeStack? Devstack?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> -
SmokeStack is preferable since it packages rpms which is what we're using
internally.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3. Backing database - mysql or DB2 10.5?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> -
Prefer DB2 since that's what we want to support in Icehouse and it's what
we use internally, but there are differences in how long it takes to create
a database with DB2 versus MySQL so when you multiply that times 7 databases
(keystone, cinder, glance, nova, heat, neutron, ceilometer) it's going
to add up unless we can figure out a better way to do it (single database
with multiple schemas?). Internally we use a pre-created image with
the DB2 databases already created, we just run the migrate scripts against
them so we don't have to wait for the create times every run - would that
fly in community?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4. What is the max amount of time for
us to report test results? Dan didn't seem to think 48 hours would
fly. :)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">5. What are the minimum tests that need
to run (excluding APIs that the powervm driver doesn't currently support)?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> -
smoke/gate/negative/whitebox/scenario/cli? Right now we have 1152
tempest tests running, those are only within api/scenario/cli and we don't
run everything.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">6. Network service? We're running with
openvswitch 1.10 today so we probably want to continue with that if possible.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">7. Cinder backend? We're running with
the storwize driver but we do we do about the remote v7000?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Again, just getting some thoughts out
there to help us figure out our goals for this, especially around 4 and
5.<br>
