Fwd: DPDK+OVS with OpenStack
by Mark Wittling 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Looking for someone who knows OpenStack with OpenVSwitch, and in addition to that, DPDK with OpenStack and OVS.I am using OpenStack Queens, with OpenVSwitch. The architecture I am using is documented here: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/queens/admin/deploy-ovs-provider.htmlThe OVS I am using on the Compute Node, is compiled with DPDK, and I have enabled the datapath to netdev (DPDK) on br-prv (provider network bridge), and br-tun (tunneling bridge). But these two bridges, br-tun and br-prv, are patched into another OpenStack bridge, called br-int. I wasn’t actually sure about whether to tinker with this bridge, and wondered what datapath it was using.Then, I realized there is a parameter in the openvswitch_agent.ini file, which I will list here: # OVS datapath to use. 'system' is the default value and corresponds to the # kernel datapath. To enable the userspace datapath set this value to 'netdev'. # (string value) # Possible values: # system - <No description provided> # netdev - <No description provided> #datapath_type = system datapath_type = netdev So in tinkering with this, what I realized, is that when you set this datapath_type to system or netdev, it will adjust the br-int bridge to that datapath type.So here is my question. How can I launch a non-DPDK VM, if all of the bridges are using the netdev datapath type?Here is another question. What if one of the flavors don’t have the largepages property set on them? I assumed OpenStack would revert to a system datapath and not use DPDK for those VM interfaces. Well, I found out in testing, that is not the case. If you set all your bridges up for netdev, and you don’t set the property on the Flavor of the VM (largepages), the VM will launch, but it simply won’t work.Is there no way, on a specific Compute Host, to support both DPDK (netdev datapaths) and non-DPDK (system datapaths)?Either on a VM interface level (VM has one interface that is netdev DPDK and another that is system datapath non-DPDK)?Or on a VM by VM basis (VM 1 has 1 or more netdev datapath interfaces and VM 2 has 1 or more system datapath interfaces)?Am I right here? Once you set up a Compute Host for DPDK, it’s DPDK or nothing on that Compute Host? (edited)

How to config DPDK compute in OVN
by dangerzone ar 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

Hi....as far I understand ovs does support dpdk compute to be deployed. I'm referring to the guideline ' *https://docs.openstack.org/networking-ovn/queens/admin/dpdk.html <https://docs.openstack.org/networking-ovn/queens/admin/dpdk.html>* ' ... It's too brief.. May I know how to config dpdk compute in OVN networking openstack? Hope someone could help what is the config to be done.... Currently compute is run without dpdk over openstack train ovn based. Please need some info on how I can proceed. Thank you

Live migration fails
by Szabo, Istvan (Agoda) 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hi, I have couple of compute nodes where the live migration fails with existing vms. When I quickly spawn a vm and try live migration it works so I assume shouldn't be a big problem with the compute node. However I have many existing vms where it fails with a servername not found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.605 227612 ERROR nova.conductor.tasks.migrate [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] [instance: 1517a2ac-3b51-4d8d-80b3-89a5614d1ae0] Unable to find record for source node servername on servername: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host servername could not be found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.605 227612 WARNING nova.scheduler.utils [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] Failed to compute_task_migrate_server: Compute host servername could not be found.: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host servername could not be found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.605 227612 WARNING nova.scheduler.utils [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] [instance: 1517a2ac-3b51-4d8d-80b3-89a5614d1ae0] Setting instance to ACTIVE state.: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host servername could not be found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.672 227612 ERROR oslo_messaging.rpc.server [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] Exception during message handling: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host am-osfecn-4025 Tried with this command: nova live-migration --block-migrate id.

[all] Dynamic Zuul results table in Gerrit 3
by Radosław Piliszek 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Hello Fellow OpenStack and OpenDev Folks! TL;DR click on [3] and enjoy. I am starting this thread to not hijack the discussion happening on [1]. First of all, I would like to thank gibi (Balazs Gibizer) for hacking a way to get the place to render the table in the first place (pun intended). I have been a long-time-now user of [2]. I have improved and customised it for myself but never really got to share back the changes I made. The new Gerrit obviously broke the whole script so it was of no use to share at that particular state. However, inspired by gibi's work, I decided to finally sit down and fix it to work with Gerrit 3 and here it comes: [3]. Works well on Chrome with Tampermonkey. Not tested others. I hope you will enjoy this little helper (I do). I know the script looks super fugly but it generally boils down to a mix of styles of 3 people and Gerrit having funky UI rendering. Finally, I'd also like to thank hrw (Marcin Juszkiewicz) for linking me to the original Michel's script in 2019.

Nova not updating to new size of an extended in-use / attached cinder volume (Ceph RBD) to guest
by Christian Rohmann 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

Hello Openstack-Discuss, after some digging I found out that cinder learned to resize attached (in-use) volumes quite a while ago with the introduction of the initial "extend 'in-use' volume" feature: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/454287/ The support was then extended to also cover Ceph RBD backed volumes with: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/613039/ Since this is only about the cinder part, I was wondering if nova would ever find out and would actively rescan the device / volume and quintessentially present an increased new size to the guest. Apparently this is where a certain volume-extended event comes into play: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/454322/ that is to be emitted by cinder when a volume had been extened. I then went head and tried this with the openstack cli (as Horizon does not seem to support / offer to resize in-use volumes. I run Openstack Train with Ceph RBD as storage. First I ran into an issue with the openstack cli (https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1871759/comments/2 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1871759/comments/2>) but using cinder extend $volumeid $newsize I was able to resize in-use volumes just fine. The only thing missing was the propagation to the guest. I played around with SCSI rescans, but that did not work, reboots also failed to do anyting in this regards. Stopping and starting the VM did work, but why having the capability to online-resize an attached volume when not being able to resize the guest volume as well? Apparently there seems to be an old and somewhat similar observation / bug with https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1369465 So I was simply wondering if this is expected to be working? Are there any special settings / options I need to set to enable this feature? Thanks and with kind regards Christian

[nova][dev] Revisiting qemu emulation where guest arch != host arch
by Apsey, Christopher 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

All, A few years ago I asked a question[1] about why nova, when given a hw_architecture property from glance for an image, would not end up using the correct qemu-system-xx binary when starting the guest process on a compute node if that compute nodes architecture did not match the proposed guest architecture. As an example, if we had all x86 hosts, but wanted to run an emulated ppc guest, we should be able to do that given that at least one compute node had qemu-system-ppc already installed and libvirt was successfully reporting that as a supported architecture to nova. It seemed like a heavy lift at the time, so it was put on the back burner. I am now in a position to fund a contract developer to make this happen, so the question is: would this be a useful blueprint that would potentially be accepted? Most of the time when people want to run an emulated guest they would just nest it inside of an already running guest of the native architecture, but that severely limits observability and the task of managing any more than a handful of instances in this manner quickly becomes a tangled nightmare of networking, etc. I see real benefit in allowing this scenario to run natively so all of the tooling that exists for fleet management 'just works'. This would also be a significant differentiator for OpenStack as a whole. Thoughts?

[all][sphinx] "rST localisation for language "foo" not found" error
by Stephen Finucane 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

We've seen issues in some projects, whereby attempting to build translations as part of the 'openstack-tox-docs' zuul job [1] can result in the following warning: Warning, treated as error: ../doc/source/contributor/contributing.rst::rST localisation for language "id" not found. Based on [2], this issue appears to have been introduced by a recent version bump of docutils, which was in turn introduced by the introduction of Sphinx 4.x. We don't have a resolution for this bug yet but we'll update when we do. Hopefully this email will improve the "Google'ability" of this bug.

[all]Introduction to venus which is the project of log management and has been contributed to the OpenStack community
by Liye Pang(逄立业) 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Hello everyone, after feedback from a large number of operations and maintenance personnel in InCloud OpenStack, we developed the log management project “Venus” for the OpenStack projects and that has contributed to the OpenStack community. The following is an introduction to “Venus”. If there is interest in the community, we are interested in proposing it to become an official OpenStack project in the future. Background In the day-to-day operation and maintenance of large-scale cloud platform, the following problems are encountered： l Time-consuming for log querying while the server increasing to thousands. l Difficult to retrieve logs, since there are many modules in the platform, e.g. systems service, compute, storage, network and other platform services. l The large amount and dispersion of log make faults are difficult to be discovered. l Because of distributed and interaction between components of the cloud platform, and scattered logs between components, it will take more time to locate problems. About Venus According to the key requirements of OpenStack in log storage, retrieval, analysis and so on, we introduced Venus project, a unified log management module. This module can provide a one-stop solution to log collection, cleaning, indexing, analysis, alarm, visualization, report generation and other needs, which involves helping operator or maintainer to quickly solve retrieve problems, grasp the operational health of the platform, and improve the management capabilities of the cloud platform. Additionally, this module plans to use machine learning algorithms to quickly locate IT failures and root causes, and improve operation and maintenance efficiency. Application scenario Venus played a key role in the following scenarios： l Retrieval: Provide a simple and easy-to-use way to retrieve all log and the context. l Analysis: Realize log association, field value statistics, and provide multi-scene and multi-dimensional visual analysis reports. l Alerts：Convert retrieval into active alerts to realize the error finding in massive logs. l Issue location: Establish a chain relationship and knowledge graphs to quickly locate problems. Overall structure The architecture of log management system based on Venus and elastic search is as follows: Diagram 0: Architecture of Venus venus_api: API module，provide API、rest-api service. venus_manager: Internal timing task module to realize the core functions of the log system. Current progress The current progress of the Venus project is as follows: l Collection：Develop fluentd collection tasks based on collectd to read, filter, format and send plug-ins for OpenStack, operating systems, and platform services, etc. l Index：Dealing with multi-dimensional index data in elasticsearch, and provide more concise and comprehensive authentication interface to return query results. l Analysis：Analyzing and display the related module errors, Mariadb connection errors, and Rabbitmq connection errors. l Alerts：Develop alarm task code to set threshold for the number of error logs of different modules at different times, and provides alarm services and notification services. l Location：Develop the call chain analysis function based on global_requested series, which can show the execution sequence, time and error information, etc., and provide the export operation. l Management：Develop configuration management functions in the log system, such as alarm threshold setting, timing task management, and log saving time setting, etc. Application examples Two examples of Venus application scenarios are as follows. 1. The virtual machine creation operation was performed on the cloud platform and it was found that the virtual machine was not created successfully. First, we can find the request id of the operation and jump to the virtual machine creation call chain page. Then, we can query the calling process, view and download the details of the log of the call. 2. In the cloud platform, the error log of each module can be converted into alarms to remind the users. Further, we can retrieve the details of the error log and error log statistics. Next step The next step of the Venus project is as follows: * Collection：In addition to fluent, other collection plugins such as logstash will be integrated. * Analysis: Explore more operation and maintenance scenarios, and conduct statistical analysis and alarm on key data. * display: The configuration, analysis and alarm of Venus will be integrated into horizon in the form of plugin. * location: Form clustering log and construct knowledge map, and integrate algorithm class library to locate the root cause of the fault. Venus Project Registry Venus library: https://opendev.org/inspur/venus You can grab the source code using the following git command: git clone https://opendev.org/inspur/venus.git Venus Demo Youtu.be: <https://youtu.be/mE2MoEx3awM> https://youtu.be/mE2MoEx3awM

[Kolla][Kolla-Ansible] Ironic Node Cleaning Failed
by Anirudh Gupta 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hi Team, We have deployed 2 node kolla ansible *12.0.0* in order to deploy openstack *wallaby* release. We have also enabled ironic in order to provision the bare metal nodes. On each server we have 3 nics - *eno1* - OAM for external connectivity and endpoint's publicURL - *eno2* - Mgmt for internal communication between various openstack services. - *ens2f0* - Data Interface Corresponding to this we have defined the following fields in globals.yml - kolla_base_distro: "centos" - kolla_install_type: "source" - openstack_release: "wallaby" - network_interface: "eno2" # MGMT interface - kolla_external_vip_interface: "eno1" # OAM Interface - kolla_internal_vip_address: "192.168.10.3" # MGMT Subnet free ip - kolla_external_vip_address: "10.0.1.136" # OAM subnet free IP - neutron_external_interface: "ens2f0" # Data Interface - enable_neutron_provider_networks: "yes" Note: Only relevant fields are being shown in this query Also, for ironic following fields have been defined in globals.yml - enable_ironic: "yes" - enable_ironic_neutron_agent: "{{ enable_neutron | bool and enable_ironic | bool }}" - enable_horizon_ironic: "{{ enable_ironic | bool }}" - ironic_dnsmasq_interface: "*ens2f0*" # Data interface - ironic_dnsmasq_dhcp_range: "20.20.20.10,20.20.20.100" - ironic_dnsmasq_boot_file: "pxelinux.0" - ironic_cleaning_network: "public1" - ironic_dnsmasq_default_gateway: "20.20.20.1" After successful deployment, a flat provider network with the name public1 is being created in openstack using the below commands: - openstack network create public1 --provider-network-type flat --provider-physical-network physnet1 - openstack subnet create subnet1 --network public1 --subnet-range 20.20.20.0/24 --allocation-pool start=20.20.20.10,end=20.20.20.100 --ip-version=4 --gateway=20.20.20.1 --dhcp Issue/Queries: - Is the configuration done in globals.yml correct or is there anything else that needs to be done in order to separate control and data plane traffic? - Also I have set automated_cleaning as "true" in ironic-conductor conatiner settings.But after creating the baremetal node, we run "node manage" command which runs successfully. Running "*openstack baremetal node provide <node id>"* command powers on the machine, sets the boot mode on Network Boot but no DHCP request for that particular mac is obtained on the controller. Is there anything I am missing that needs to be done in order to make ironic work? Note: I have also verified that the nic is PXE enabled in system configuration setting Regards Anirudh Gupta

[devstack][neutron][manila] Instances having trouble getting to external network with OVN
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 26 Aug '21

26 Aug '21

Hi, Some third party storage CI running against manila repos has had issues setting up VMs and providing access to external resources in devstack; these issues started around the time that the default ml2 plugin was switched to OVN. Folks in the manila team aren't familiar with devstack/CI networking to determine how to resolve these; and we'd totally appreciate help from networking experts in this regard. A sample local.conf file used by the CI is here: http://paste.openstack.org/show/807449/ Manila's tests: - create a private tenant network - setup a router that connects the private network to the public network - create a nova VM on the private tenant network - attempt to mount a share via NFS from within this VM The final step fails because the NFS mount command times out within the test VM: tempest.lib.exceptions.SSHExecCommandFailed: Command 'sudo mount -vt nfs "10.16.xx.xx:/share-96ae8d0c-8bab-4fcd-b278-51a6f473e03c-manila" /mnt', exit status: 32, stderr: mount.nfs: mount(2): Connection timed out mount.nfs: Connection timed out stdout: mount.nfs: timeout set for Mon Jun 28 14:47:19 2021 mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=10.16.xx.xx,clientaddr=10.1.0.26' The timeout seems to be because the VM is unable to reach the NFS server that's external to the devstack host. The NFS server is reachable from the devstack host. Have there been any changes to devstack configuration that we need to be aware of, wrt VMs having access to the external network? Thanks, Goutham

[masakari] Deprecating process monitor - querying the community in this thread
by Radosław Piliszek 23 Aug '21

23 Aug '21

Hello users of Masakari, As the Masakari core team, we have discussed the deprecation/retirement of one of the monitors - the process monitor. The reason is simple - we consider its mission is better handled by other software such as Kubernetes, Docker, or systemd, depending on how you deploy your OpenStack cluster. I believe the process monitor might have made sense in the pre-containerisation, pre-systemd world but it does not seem to any longer. Please let us know, by replying to this mail, if you have a use case for the process monitor that cannot be handled by the aforementioned software. -yoctozepto

[tripleo] Changing TripleO's release model
by Wesley Hayutin 20 Aug '21

20 Aug '21

Greetings TripleO community! At the most recent TripleO community meetings we have discussed formally changing the OpenStack release model for TripleO [1]. The previous released projects can be found here [2]. TripleO has previously released with release-type[‘trailing’, ‘cycle-with-intermediary’]. To quote the release model doc: ‘Trailing deliverables trail the release, so they cannot, by definition, be independent. They need to pick between cycle-with-rc <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-rc> or cycle-with-intermediary <https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html#cycle-with-int…> models.’ We are proposing to update the release-model to ‘independent’. This would give the TripleO community more flexibility in when we choose to cut a release. In turn this would mean less backporting, less upstream and 3rd party resources used by potentially some future releases. To quote the release model doc: ‘Some projects opt to completely bypass the 6-month cycle and release independently. For example, that is the case of projects that support the development infrastructure. The “independent” model describes such projects.’ The discussion here is to merely inform the greater community with regards to the proposal and conversations regarding the release model. This thread is NOT meant to discuss previous releases or their supported status, merely changing the release model here [3] [0] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tripleo-meeting-items [1] https://releases.openstack.org/reference/release_models.html [2] https://releases.openstack.org/teams/tripleo.html [3] https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/xena

Hi everyone, Here’s my annual email requesting you complete the OpenStack User Survey [1] and share with your local communities / community friends who are operating OpenStack. Anonymous reposes and aggregated data from the User Survey are shared with the OPenStack PTLs and overall community to help understand operator software requirements. If you have never taken it before, please do! We welcome your feedback and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. If you are one of the many who have, all of your previous information should be stored, so you will just need to provide updates where relevant and re-save. Thank you all! Cheers, Allison [1] https://www.openstack.org/user-survey/survey-2021 <https://www.openstack.org/user-survey/survey-2021> Allison Price Director of Marketing & Community OpenInfra Foundation e: allison(a)openstack.org <mailto:allison@openstack.org>

[masakari] Compute service with name XXXXX not found.
by at 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

Hi, I have some problem with masakari. I can create segment (from CLI and Horizon), but can't create host (the same result from Horizon and CLI). openstack segment host create XXXXX COMPUTE SSH segment_id returns BadRequest: Compute service with name XXXXX could not be found. XXXXX is the name which Horizon suggest, and it's a name of compute host. openstack compute service list returns proper list with state up/enabled on compute hosts (zone nova) Maybe I misunderstood some parameters of host create? As "type" I use COMPUTE, what value should it be? From "Binary" column of openstack compute service list? What is "control_attributes" field, because documentation lacks preceise information what value should be there and what is it use for. Tried to found some info on this error but I haven't found anything... Thanks in advance for any help. Best regards Adam Tomas

[tc][all] Please Help On Collecting Pain Points
by Rico Lin 16 Aug '21

Dear all As a proposal for pre-select goals for Yoga [1]. We need to figure out the possibility. *I would like to ask each project team, SIG, and pop-up if you can kindly provide the major pain point you have (and better to be fixable by bugs/features).* *What you can help with is added in pain point information in [2].* *Information like pain point topic, description, and ideas on how to targeting them.* *Why this is important?* I think this data allows us to see clearly if we can have goals like `eliminate pain points`. *What's after this?* If we can make sure this can be a goal material, we might be able to have this as a goal and allow project teams to focus on one of their most important issues. As an alternative, we might be able to collect from user side with a user survey, but that's more like a really long-term plan for this.

Pls help newbie :) bare metal new Ansible deployment
by Nicola Ferrari (#554252) 14 Aug '21

Dears, I'm new to the list. We're just trying to introduce a demo install of openstack in our network. Our intention was to use 5 machine, already installed with ubuntu-mini 20.04. ostack1 as control node ostack2 -| ostack3 -| AS COMPUTE NODE ostack4 -| ostack5 -| ostack4 - ostack5 also as block storage node, they are connected on a direct storage (sas) where we deployed lvm with a vg named "cinder_volumes". All nodes both are on a /24 network (192.168.32.0/24) behind a router (32.254) and also on a "private" network (10.255.255.0/24) which just interconnect nodes themselves. We inteded to deploy openstack using openstack-ansible, available on github, last stable release. You can see our user_config as attachment. setup-hosts playbook runs with no errors. setup-infrastructure playbook hangs on RUNNING HANDLER [repo_server : reload nginx] **************************************************************************************** FAILED - RETRYING: reload nginx (1 retries left). fatal: [ostack1_repo_container-aabb6a12]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 5, "changed": false, "msg": "Unable to start service nginx: Job for nginx.service failed because the control process exited with error code.\nSee \"systemctl status nginx.service\" and \"journalctl -xe\" for details.\n"} Looking at log I can see that nginx coudn't start due to "Cannot assign requested address: 99" error. I suppose that must be a mistake in the deploy file? Many thanks for your suggestion, and pls, be sorry for my poor english :) Nick

[neutron] Status of networking-mlnx: Is it still maintained ?
by Takashi Kajinami 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hello, I noticed the networking-mlnx repo[1] is not updated for a while and looks unmaintained. The repo doesn't have a stable/wallaby release created, and its setup.cfg doesn't include python 3.8 as a supported platform. https://opendev.org/x/networking-mlnx Is anybody still maintaining this repo ? If the repo is no longer maintained, I'll propose deprecating support for the plugin from puppet-neutron. Please let me know if you have any concern with that deprecation. I appreciate any input about this $topic. Thank you, Takashi Kajinami
