[cinder] R-17 midcycle followup meeting poll
by Brian Rosmaita 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

We had some very useful discussions at yesterday's midcycle but ran out of time before we could discuss Gorka's new quotas proposals. It turns out that due to 8 December being a public holiday in many locations, the next Cinder meeting won't work for a video followup, so we'll hold a special half-hour video meeting on this topic next week. The meeting will be 1400-1430 UTC on one of Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. If you have a preference, please express it in this poll: https://doodle.com/poll/mnddwtp99uu6hsuq The poll closes at 1300 UTC on Monday 6 December, and I'll announce the selected time shortly thereafter. cheers, brian

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!

[ceilometer][octavia][Victoria] No metrics from octavia loadbalancer
by Iain Stott 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

Has anyone had any progress on this? We are currently in the same situation, we can see if loadblancers exists, but unable to see a way to configure the polling agent to poll endpoints like v2/lbaas/loadbalancers/[ID]/stats Cheers, Iain > OK. I have some progress. I created meters.d and pollster.d (in pollsters.d I’ve created octavia.yaml with sample type gauge and unit load balancer) and now I can see some measures, but only if load balancer exists or not. > Is there any way to force dynamic pollster to ask for url v2/lbaas/loadbalancers/[ID]/stats? > Best regards > Adam Iain Stott OpenStack Engineer The Hut Group<http://www.thehutgroup.com/> Tel: Email: Iain.Stott(a)thehutgroup.com<mailto:Iain.Stott@thehutgroup.com> For the purposes of this email, the "company" means The Hut Group Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 6539496) whose registered office is at Fifth Floor, Voyager House, Chicago Avenue, Manchester Airport, M90 3DQ and/or any of its respective subsidiaries.

[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.
