[neutron][interop][refstack] New tests and capabilities to track in interop
by Martin Kopec 07 Jun '21

07 Jun '21

Hi everyone, I would like to further discuss the topics we covered with the neutron team during the PTG [1]. * adding address_group API capability It's tested by tests in neutron-tempest-plugin. First question is if tests which are not directly in tempest can be a part of a non-add-on marketing program? It's possible to move them to tempest though, by the time we do so, could they be marked as advisory? * Shall we include QoS tempest tests since we don't know what share of vendors enable QoS? Could it be an add-on? These tests are also in neutron-tempest-plugin, I assume we're talking about neutron_tempest_plugin.api.test_qos tests. If we want to include these tests, which program should they belong to? Do we wanna create a new one?

Hello! One question regarding the development status of DB2 inside Trove. I see that DB2 is still in experimental phase, when could it be expected for that datastore type to get production ready status? Best Regards.

[simplification] Making ask.openstack.org read-only
by Thierry Carrez 27 May '21

27 May '21

Hi everyone, This has been discussed several times on this mailing list in the past, but we never got to actually pull the plug. Ask.openstack.org was launched in 2013. The reason for hosting our own setup was to be able to support multiple languages, while StackOverflow rejected our proposal to have our own openstack-branded StackExchange site. The Chinese ask.o.o side never really took off. The English side also never really worked perfectly (like email alerts are hopelessly broken), but we figured it would get better with time if a big community formed around it. Fast-forward to 2020 and the instance is lacking volunteers to help run it, while the code (and our customization of it) has become more complicated to maintain. It regularly fails one way or another, and questions there often go unanswered, making us look bad. Of the top 30 users, most have abandoned the platform since 2017, leaving only Bernd Bausch actively engaging and helping moderate questions lately. We have called for volunteers several times, but the offers for help never really materialized. At the same time, people are asking OpenStack questions on StackOverflow, and sometimes getting answers there[1]. The fragmentation of the "questions" space is not helping users getting good answers. I think it's time to pull the plug, make ask.openstack.org read-only (so that links to old answers are not lost) and redirect users to the mailing-list and the "OpenStack" tag on StackOverflow. I picked StackOverflow since it seems to have the most openstack questions (2,574 on SO, 76 on SuperUser and 430 on ServerFault). We discussed that option several times, but I now proposed a change to actually make it happen: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/746497/ It's always a difficult decision to make to kill a resource, but I feel like in this case, consolidation and simplification would help. Thoughts, comments? [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/openstack -- Thierry

[telemetry] Retire panko
by Matthias Runge 25 May '21

25 May '21

Hi there, over the past couple of cycles, we have seen decreasing interest on panko. Also it has some debts, which were just carried over from the early days. We discussed over at the PTG and didn't really found a reason to keep it alive or included under OpenStack. With that, it also makes sense to retire puppet-panko. I'll wait for 1-2 weeks and propose appropriate patches to get it retired then, if I don't hear anything against it or if there are any takers. Matthias

[all][qa][cinder][octavia][murano] Devstack dropping support for Ubuntu Bionic 18.04
by Ghanshyam Mann 19 May '21

19 May '21

Hello Everyone, As per the testing runtime since Victoria [1], we need to move our CI/CD to Ubuntu Focal 20.04 but it seems there are few jobs still running on Bionic. As devstack team is planning to drop the Bionic support you need to move those to Focal otherwise they will start failing. We are planning to merge the devstack patch by 2nd week of May. - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/devstack/+/788754 I have not listed all the job but few of them which were failing with ' rtslib-fb-targetctl error' are below: Cinder- cinder-plugin-ceph-tempest-mn-aa - https://opendev.org/openstack/cinder/src/commit/7441694cd42111d8f24912f03f6… python-cinderclient - python-cinderclient-functional-py36 - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-cinderclient/+/788834 Octavia- https://opendev.org/openstack/octavia-tempest-plugin/src/branch/master/zuul… Murani- murano-dashboard-sanity-check -https://opendev.org/openstack/murano-dashboard/src/commit/b88b32abdffc171e6650450273004a41575d2d68/.zuul.yaml#L15 Also if your 3rd party CI is still running on Bionic, you can plan to migrate it to Focal before devstack patch merge.

[octavia] victoria - loadbalancer works but its operational status is offline
by apps＠mossakowski.ch 13 May '21

13 May '21

Hello, I have stable/victoria baremetal openstack with octavia installed on centos8 using openvswitch mechanism driver: octavia api on controller, health-manager,housekeeping,worker on 3 compute/network nodes. Official docs include only ubuntu with linuxbridge mechanism but I used https://github.com/prastamaha/openstack-octavia as a reference to get it working on centos8 with ovs. I will push those docs instructions for centos8 soon: https://github.com/openstack/octavia/tree/master/doc/source/install. I created basic http scenario using https://docs.openstack.org/octavia/victoria/user/guides/basic-cookbook.html…. Loadbalancer works but its operational status is offline (openstack_loadbalancer_outputs.txt). On all octavia workers I see the same warning message in health_manager.log: Health Manager experienced an exception processing a heartbeat message from ('172.31.255.233', 1907). Ignoring this packet. Exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode' I've searched for related active bug but all I found is this not related in my opinion: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2008615 I'm attaching all info I've gathered: - octavia.conf and health_manager debug logs (octavia_config_and_health_manager_logs.txt) - tcpdump from amphora VM (tcpdump_from_amphora_vm.txt) - tcpdump from octavia worker (tcpdump_from_octavia_worker.txt) - debug amphora-agent.log from amphora VM (amphora-agent.log) Can you point me to the right direction what I have missed? Thanks! Piotr Mossakowski https://github.com/moss2k13

[ops][victoria][cinder] Import volume?
by DHilsbos＠performair.com 11 May '21

11 May '21

All; I'm looking to transfer several VMs from XenServer to an OpenStack Victoria cloud. Finding explanations for importing Glance images is easy, but I haven't been able to find a tutorial on importing Cinder volumes. Since they are currently independent servers / volumes it seems somewhat wasteful and messy to import each VMs disk as an image just to spawn a volume from it. We're using Ceph as the storage provider for Glance and Cinder. Thank you, Dominic L. Hilsbos, MBA Director - Information Technology Perform Air International Inc.

[zun][horizon] How to display containers among VMs on network topology ?
by Maxime d'Estienne 11 May '21

11 May '21

Hello, I installed Zun on my stack and it works very well, I have a few containers up and running. I also added the zun-ui plugin for Horizon wich allows me to see the list of containers and to create them. But I often use the network topology view, wich I found very clean sometimes. I wondered if there is a solution to display the containers as are Vm's ? Thank you ! Maxime

Re: [ironic] IPA image does not want to boot with UEFI
by Julia Kreger 10 May '21

Adding the list back and trimming the message. Replies in-band. Well, that is good that the server is not signed, nor other esp images are not working.

I have tried with several ESP image options with same effect (one taken from Ubuntu Live ISO that boots on that node, another downloaded and third made with grub tools). None of them was signed. Interesting. At least it is consistent! Have you tried to pull down the iso image and take it apart to verify it is UEFI bootable against a VM or another physical machine? I'm wondering if you need both uefi parameters set. You definitely don't have properties['capabilities']['boot_mode'] set which is used or... maybe a better word to use is drawn in for asserting defaults, but you do have the deploy_boot_mode setting set. I guess a quick manual sanity check of the actual resulting iso image is going to be critical. Debug logging may also be useful, and I'm only thinking that because there is no logging from the generation of the image. > > The server is not in UEFI secure boot mode. Interesting, sure sounds like it is based on your original message. :( > Btw. I will be on holidays for next week so I might not be able to follow up on this discussion before Apr 12th. No worries, just ping us on irc.freenode.net in #openstack-ironic if a reply on the mailing list doesn't grab our attention. > > Bests, > Vuk > > On Thu, Apr 1, 2021 at 4:20 PM Julia Kreger <juliaashleykreger(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Greetings, >> >> Two questions: >> 1) Are the ESP image contents signed, or are they built using one of >> the grub commands? >> 2) Is the machine set to enforce secure boot at this time? >> >> [trim]
