Windows imaging process
by Gaël THEROND 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hi everyone, On one of our Openstack platforms, we maintain windows based workloads. We currently have the following build process: 1°/- We download windows ISO image. 2°/- Use hyper-v to create a gold image that bring virtio drivers. 3°/- We upload this image on glance and publish it for our users. 4°/- Our users use packer to create their own windows custom image from our gold image. This workflow works pretty fine, it’s simple enough and as Microsoft isn’t releasing a new major Windows every two months it’s pretty ok not having all the steps automated until now. However, I’m wondering if there is a way to automate my first two steps using Openstack? So far, from my early tests, I didn’t managed to get all of appropriate gears to work together, did I missed something? I need to create a VM that at least can use the Windows ISO plus a virtio ISO as a second cdrom device and an additional user-data payload that will instruct the Windows installer to go automatically through the installation steps plus loads missing drivers from the virtio iso. This is perfectly working on a native kvm as you can add multiple cdrom device but I didn’t find a way to replicate that on Openstack. Starting from an unaltered Microsoft originated ISO image is a mandatory requirement for this project (Because of security constraints that I can’t have any impact on). Help from anyone that already had to deal with such situation would be very appreciated ! Thanks!

[kuryr] Propose to EOL stable branches (Stein, Rocky and Queens) for all the kuryr scope
by Maysa De Macedo Souza 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hello, We have plenty of stable branches in Kuryr repositories still open with the oldest being stable/queens. We haven't seen many backports[0] proposed to Stein, Rocky and Queens, so I would like to propose retiring these branches. Let me know if anybody is interested in keeping any of those branches.

[cinder] : SAN migration
by Gauurav Sabharwal1 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

Hi Experts , I need some expert advise of one of the scenario, I have multiple isolated OpenStack cluster running with train & rocky edition. Each OpenStack cluster environment have it's own isolated infrastructure of SAN ( CISCO fabric ) & Storage ( HP, EMC & IBM). Now company planning to refresh their SAN infrastructure. By procuring new Brocade SAN switches. But there are some migration relevant challenges we have. As we understand under one cinder instance only one typer of FC zone manager is supported . Currently customer configured & managing CISCO . Is it possible to configure two different vendor FC Zone manager under one cinder instance. Migration of SAN zoning is supposedly going to be happen offline way from OpenStack point of view. We will be migrating all ports of each existing cisco fabric to Brocade with zone configuration using brocade CLI. Our main concern is that after migration How CINDER DB update new zone info & path via Brocade SAN. Regards Gauurav Sabharwal IBM India Pvt. Ltd.

Hi Seena, Do you mean passing an entire disk to an instance, or moving where nova stores its ephemeral disks? (e.g. /var/lib/nova/instances?) Rgds Steve. The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet - William Gibson Hi, Is there any support for creating instances on a whole separate disk, not an LVM?
