[election][tc] My TC non-candidacy
by Radosław Piliszek 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Dears, I am hereby announcing my TC non-candidacy. It was a great pleasure to work with you but my personal and professional life has shifted away from OpenStack enough to make it hard for me to dedicate the time the TC deserves. Kind regards, -yoctozepto

[stable] sphinx docs jobs fail on old stable branches (no more py2 support)
by Előd Illés 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Hi stable maintainers, This mail is about to get some attention to build-openstack-sphinx-docs job that recently started to fail on old stable branches (Queens and Pike) and block gates for about ~30 repositories. (The failures are also visible in periodic stable jobs). This is because py27 support from sphinx jobs were removed [1] recently. (Python 3 (py35) support was mostly done in Rocky so that branch is not affected) To unblock the gates I see the following options: 1. fix sphinx jobs to work with py35 (most probably requires some patches to backport - in a squashed patch - and maybe some resolution of requirement conflicts) 2. set sphinx jobs to non-voting (even better to remove them to do not use resources unnecessarily) 3. revert the patch [1] that removed the py2 support of sphinx (maybe the easiest thing to do, though i understand that py2 support is something that shouldn't be kept forever) 4. teams examine their old branches and if they are not really maintained, haven't merged patches recently, then probably it is a good time to propose their EOL transition according to the EOL process [1] Some additional thoughts: - When Extended Maintenance was introduced the community agreed that certain CI jobs can be removed, CI coverage can be reduced as time goes. - To keep open an old branch in Extended Maintenance helps the cooperation between vendors / users as instead of maintaining it by themselves it can be done with a common effort, which could be beneficial for everyone. On the other hand, if there are no maintainers or invested efforts to keep the branch and CI alive, then it is a reasonable decision to transition the branch to End of Life. Please consider the above options and act to eliminate the gate failures / periodic stable job failures. [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/zuul/zuul-jobs/+/827588 <https://review.opendev.org/#/q/I98c3da5b02a4ac7fb9d7bd8e00170762e77b9f40>[2] https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/stable-branches.html#end-of-l… Thanks, Előd

[election][ptl][cinder] PTL non-candidacy
by Brian Rosmaita 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Hello Argonauts, With the election season rapidly approaching [0], I want to communicate my intentions to the team, to wit, I will not be standing for PTL for the Z cycle. I've served as PTL for five cycles, which conflicts with my belief that it's good for open source projects to rotate leadership. I think the Cinder project is fairly healthy, but it will be good to have someone take the Cinder helm who has a fresh perspective and who will be as excited to be PTL as I was way back in Ussuri. We have an excellent project team, and I have no doubt that whoever steps up will have plenty of support from the Cinder community (including me, I don't have any intention of going anywhere in the near term). cheers, brian [0] http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-February/027070…

[ironic] Each deploy overwrites the entire target disk
by Radosław Piliszek 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Dears, I have a question regarding the default behaviour of Ironic Python Agent - it seems that each deploy causes the entire target disk to be overwritten. I have noticed this after replacing disks with larger ones, the deployment process started taking considerably longer and I observed that each sector is rewritten on the target device. Is that expected? Can I somehow avoid it? I am using whole-disk, qcow2 images that are much smaller than the disk size (even in raw form). I am running Ironic Wallaby. The deployment method is direct. Kind regards, -yoctozepto

[nova][ops] Problem with nova policies for resume operation
by Massimo Sgaravatto 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Dear all I am running a Xena installation I have modified the nova policy fail so that certain operations can be done only by the user who created the instance, or by the administrator This [*] is my policy.yaml file. While the suspend operation works as intended (I can suspend only my instances and I am not allowed to suspend an instance created by another user) I am not able to resume an instance that I own and that I have previously suspended. I get this error: ERROR (Forbidden): Policy doesn't allow os_compute_api:os-suspend-server:suspend to be performed. (HTTP 403) (Request-ID: req-c57458bc-b1ea-4b40-a1d2-0f67608ef673) Only removing the line: "os_compute_api:os-suspend-server:suspend": "rule:admin_api or user_id:%(user_id)s" from the policy file, I am able to resume the instance.

[kolla-ansible][mariadb]error (galera cluster problem ?)
by Franck VEDEL 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Hello, I am in an emergency situation, quite catastrophic situation because I do not know what to do. I have an Openstack cluster with 3 servers (serv1, serv2, serv3). He was doing so well… A network admin came to me and told me to change an MTU on the cards. I knew it shouldn't be done...I shouldn't have done it. I did it. Of course, it didn't work as expected. I went back to my starting configuration and there I have a big problem with mariadb which is set up on serv1 and serv2. Here are my errors: 2022-02-04 17:40:36 0 [ERROR] WSREP: failed to open gcomm backend connection: 110: failed to reach primary view: 110 (Connection timed out) at gcomm/src/pc.cpp:connect():160 2022-02-04 17:40:36 0 [ERROR] WSREP: gcs/src/gcs_core.cpp:gcs_core_open():209: Failed to open backend connection: -110 (Connection timed out) 2022-02-04 17:40:36 0 [ERROR] WSREP: gcs/src/gcs.cpp:gcs_open():1475: Failed to open channel 'openstack' at 'gcomm://10.0.5.109:4567,10.0.5.110:4567': -110 (Connection timed out) 2022-02-04 17:40:36 0 [ERROR] WSREP: gcs connect failed: Connection timed out 2022-02-04 17:40:36 0 [ERROR] WSREP: wsrep::connect(gcomm://10.0.5.109:4567,10.0.5.110:4567) failed: 7 2022-02-04 17:40:36 0 [ERROR] Aborting I do not know what to do.

[ops][cinder] resource count survey
by Brian Rosmaita 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello operators, The Cinder project is working on the cinder quotas system in an effort to improve its accuracy and remove the necessity for operators to go through and clean it up occasionally when it gets out of sync with reality. One way to do this is to use dynamic database counting (instead of storing the usage info in a table where it can become outdated). Whether this will be a good change depends on how many records the database has to process during a transaction, which in turn depends on how many Cinder resources a project has. So we need to get some information from you. Please take this brief survey: https://rosmaita.wufoo.com/forms/cinder-resource-count-survey/ The survey closes on Wednesday 30 March at 1200 UTC, so that we can have data to discuss during the "Z" PTG. But please don't procrastinate, it's only 6 questions and the answers are all positive integers. It shouldn't take long to fill out! Thanks! brian

[all][elections][ptl][tc] Combined PTL/TC Election Feb-Mar 2022 Season
by Ghanshyam Mann 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello Everyone! This is time for the Z development cycle Technical elections. Election details: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ The nomination period officially begins Feb 8, 2022 23:45. Please read the stipulations and timelines for candidates and electorate contained in this governance documentation. The PTL and TC elections for the coming cycle will run concurrently; deadlines for their nomination and voting activities are synchronized but will still use separate ballots. Please note, if only one candidate is nominated as PTL for a project team during the PTL nomination period, that candidate will win by acclaim, and there will be no poll. There will only be a poll if there is more than one candidate stepping forward for a project team's PTL position. If teams do not produce any PTL candidate during the nomination period, or are interested in considering alternatives prior to nominations, the TC may consider requests to switch to the new distributed leadership model they recently documented[1]. In keeping with the established plan[1 ] to gradually reduce the size of the Technical Committee, we will only fill five (5) seats in this coming election. There will be further announcements posted to the mailing list as action is required from the electorate or candidates. This email is for information purposes only. If you have any questions which you feel affect others please reply to this email thread. If you have any questions that you which to discuss in private please email any of the election officials[3] so that we may address your concerns.

[release] Release countdown for week R-7, Feb 07-11
by Előd Illés 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Development Focus ----------------- We are entering the last weeks of the Yogadevelopment cycle. From now until the final release, we'll send a countdown email like this every week. It's probably a good time for teams to take stock of their library and client work that needs to be completed yet. The non-client library freeze is coming up, followed closely by the client lib freeze. Please plan accordingly to avoid any last minute rushes to get key functionality in. General Information ------------------- Next week is the Extra-ATC freeze, in preparation for elections. All contributions to OpenStack are valuable, but some are not expressed as Gerrit code changes. Please list active contributors to your project team who do not have a code contribution this cycle, and therefore won't automatically be considered an Active Technical Contributor and allowed to vote. This is done by adding extra-atcs to https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/branch/master/reference/projec… before the Extra-ATC freeze on February 10th, 2022. A quick reminder of the upcoming freeze dates. Those vary depending on deliverable type: * General libraries (except client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Non-client library freeze (February 17th, 2022). Their stable branches are cut early. * Client libraries (think python-*client libraries) need to have their last feature release before Client library freeze (February 24th, 2022) * Deliverables following a cycle-with-rc model (that would be most services) observe a Feature freeze on that same date, February 24th, 2022. Any feature addition beyond that date should be discussed on the mailing-list and get PTL approval. After feature freeze, cycle-with-rc deliverables need to produce a first release candidate (and a stable branch) before RC1 deadline (March 7th, 2022) * Deliverables following cycle-with-intermediary model can release as necessary, but in all cases before Final RC deadline (March 24th, 2022) Finally, now is also a good time to start planning what highlights you want for your deliverables in the cycle highlights. The deadline to submit an initial version for those is set to Feature freeze (February 24th, 2022). Background on cycle-highlights: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-December/125613.html Project Team Guide, Cycle-Highlights: https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#cycle… knelson [at] openstack.org/diablo_rojo on IRC is available if you need help selecting or writing your highlights Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Extra-ATC freeze: February 10th, 2022(R-7 week) Non-client library freeze: February 17th, 2022(R-6 week) Client library freeze: February 24th, 2022(R-5 week) Yoga-3 milestone: February 24th, 2022(R-5 week) Yoga final release: March 30th, 2022 Next PTG: April 4 - 8, 2022 (virtual) ElődIllés irc: elodilles

[oslo] feature freeze - Feb 07 - Feb 11 (R-7)
by Herve Beraud 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Hello Osloers, Just a friendly reminder that oslo's feature freeze will happen next week (R-7 - Feb 07 - Feb 11). It's earlier than everyone else, and if you're wondering why, we have a policy[1] that discusses it. The main thing is that if you have features you want to get into Oslo libraries this cycle, please make sure they merge by Friday. After that we'll need to go through the FFE process and there's no guarantee we can land them. Feel free to ping us on IRC if you need reviews. Thanks for your attention.

[PTG] April 2022 Team Signup
by Kendall Nelson 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Hello Everyone! Last week, we announced the next virtual PTG will be held virtually from Monday, April 4th to Friday, April 8th, 2022. We will have the same schedule set up available as last time with three windows of time spread across the day to cover all timezones with breaks in between. To signup your team, you must complete BOTH the survey[1] AND reserve time in the ethercalc[2] by end of day March 11th. We ask that the PTL/SIG Chair/Team lead sign up for time to have their discussions with 3 rules/guidelines: 1. Cross project discussions (like SIGs or support project teams) should be scheduled towards the start of the week so that any discussions that might shape those of other teams happen first. 2. No team should sign up for more than 4 hours per UTC day to help keep participants actively engaged. 3. No team should sign up for more than 16 hours across all time slots to avoid burning out our contributors and to enable participation in multiple teams discussions. Again, you need to fill out BOTH the ethercalc AND the survey to complete your team's sign up. If you have any issues with signing up your team, due to conflict or otherwise, please let me know! While we are trying to empower you to make your own decisions as to when you meet and for how long (after all, you know your needs and teams timezones better than we do), we are here to help! Once your team is signed up, please register[3]! And remind your team to register! Registration is free, but it's important that you sign up to let us know you'll be attending because that's how you'll receive event details, passwords, and other relevant information about the PTG. Continue to visit openinfra.dev/ptg for updates. -Kendall (diablo_rojo) [1] Team Survey: https://openinfrafoundation.formstack.com/forms/april2022_vptg_survey [2] Ethercalc Signup: https://ethercalc.openstack.org/7yxdas7suqnd [3] PTG Registration: https://openinfra-ptg.eventbrite.com/

[cinder] new driver freeze & exceptions
by Brian Rosmaita 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Hello Argonauts, The new driver merge deadline passed at 20:00 UTC today. I'm extending the new driver merge deadline to Friday 28 January at 20:00 UTC for two drivers: 1. Lightbits: It has both a cinder and os-brick patch, and I want the team to have more time to look at the os-brick patch. I think the driver patch is close to ready; the developers have been quick to respond to comments and make revisions. Also, the third-party CI is functioning and responding on patches. cinder: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/821602 os-brick: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/821603 2. NEC Storage V Series: the driver patch has one +2 and the third party CI is functioning and responding on patches; I don't see any reason to make this one wait for the Z release. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/815614 Cinder core reviewers: please continue to review the above patches. With respect to the other proposed drivers: - Pure Storage NVMe-RoCE: vendor decided to hold it for Z - Dell EMC PowerStore NFS driver: vendor decided to hold it for Z - HPE XP Storage FC & iSCSI: the code is very straightforward, but the CI is not ready yet, so this will have to wait for Z - YADRO Tatlin.UNIFIED driver: initial patch arrived yesterday (and has a -1 from Zuul); the CI appears to be running, but the cinder team needs to move on to reviewing os-brick and Yoga feature patches, so this will have to wait for Z also cheers, brian

[nova][gate] test_tagged_attachment failing close to 100% in nova-next
by Artom Lifshitz 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1959899 The test times out verifying the tags in the metadata API after attaching a NIC and volume. This is happening almost 100% of the time, but I've seen at least a couple of passing runs as well. We have yet to determine what the exact failure mode is - is the metadata API timing out (unlikely, since every other test passes)? Or are the expected tags just not present (more likely)? I'm trying to figure some things out at [1], but other than that this is very much under investigation with no root cause identified yet. [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/827549

bypass sphinx conf.py from CLI
by Stone, Ronald 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi, The StarlingX docs team is implementing the default sphinxcontrib.spelling spelling extension for use from tox via a virtualenv set up for this purpose. We do not want sphinxcontrib.spelling loaded into other tox jobs that won't use it. This means that it cannot be loaded from the standard conf.py. Instead I am bypassing conf.py and setting parameters from the sphinx-build command in the appropriate tox job: sphinx-build -a -E -C --keep-going -d doc/build/doctrees -D extensions=sphinxcontrib.spelling -D spelling_word_list_filename=spelling_wordlist.txt -D rst_prolog="open('./shared/strings.txt', 'r').read()" -t starlingx -t openstack -b spelling doc/source doc/build/spelling {posargs} This works except that we also need to load some strings into the rst prolog for various purposes, and that is failing without warning or errors. I can open the file from a python console. Sphinx-build escapes the single quotes as: open('"'"'./shared/strings.txt'"'"', '"'"'r'"'"').read()' Any suggestions on the correct parameter format appreciated. Ron

[os-brick][nova][cinder][glance] Question about lock_path
by Radosław Piliszek 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hello Fellow OpenStackers! I have noticed os-brick started using the file locks (in lock_path) to avoid race conditions. I have a question regarding that lock_path - it seems all the cases I have found use separate lock_paths per service, yet the problematic cases listed in the bug report (and the commit message of [1]) suggest that, in case of co-hosted nova-compute, glance-api, cinder-volume and cinder-backup services (or any combination thereof), the lock_path should be shared. Should the deployment projects adapt to actually fix the race condition issue? [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/814139 Kind regards, -yoctozepto

[stein][neutron] Static rules losed
by Gargano Andrea 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi all, we faced an inssue in our openstack, we have some private clouds with static rules, if the controller that own namespace with the static rule goes down, namespace moves to other controller but it loses the rule. I can still see the rules inside the router on openstack but it doesn't work until recreated. Have you seen something like this? Thank you in advance. Andrea Gargano

[cinder][drivers] stable branch backports
by Brian Rosmaita 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hello Argonauts, especially vendor driver maintainers: At last week's midcycle meeting, we began a discussion of running third-party CI on stable branch changes. While that continues *not* to be required (it will be re-visited at the Z PTG), we did agree to the following: When a vendor driver patch backport is proposed, we would like to see a clear statement on the gerrit review that the patch has been tested in an appropriate environment. This shouldn't be a big deal because presumably you've done local testing with your backend to ensure that the code works as expected in a stable branch; we're simply asking that this be documented on the backport. cheers, brian

RE: Openstack VLAN provider Network
by DHilsbos＠performair.com 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Felipe; A lot of this will depend on how you have Neutron configured. We use OpenVSwitch. For OpenVSwitch you want a completely unconfigured interface, for VLANs. If you haven't looked at Server World's tutorial for OpenStack, I would suggest you do so. They can be found here: https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Ubuntu_20.04&p=openstack_xena2&f=6 https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_Stream_8&p=openstack_xena2&… Pay particular attention to the names br-eth1 and physnet1, and where and how they are used. You are likely going to need to reference the "Configure Neutron #2" page from the tutorial to understand the whole configuration, as these assume #1 and #2 have been completed (#1 walks through how to setup the support services). The tutorials are for VXLAN, but are modifiable to be VLAN. In particular; [ml2_type_vxlan] vni_ranges = 1:1000 becomes: [ml2_type_vlan] network_vlan_ranges = physnet1:1:1000 For you, I believe that last line would be: network_vlan_ranges = physnet1:684:684 What I can't help you with is how this interacts with PackStack.

Thanks Felipe On Wed, Feb 2, 2022 at 12:21 AM <DHilsbos(a)performair.com> wrote: Felipe; I had significant problems with this as well, when I was first setting up our cluster. The first thing to recognize is that the network type is from the stand point of the host (more specifically from the network services host, and the neutron compute hosts), not the network itself. Your VLAN network is actually a physical network (from the standpoint of the host), because it is bound to a physical interface. If you want to actually use it as a vlan type; a) remove the IP address(es) from the interface(s) of the network and compute host(s), and b) properly configure ml2, or an equivalent plugin.

[all][infra][qa][tripleo][openstack-ansible][rally][aodh][cinder][kolla][chef][sahara] CentOS 8 EOL and removal from CI label/image lists
by Clark Boylan 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

As noted last month the OpenDev [0] team intends on removing CentOS 8 images from our CI system now that the release has gone EOL. A number of you have already shifted over to CentOS 8 Stream in CI (thank you!), but there is still quite a bit remaining based on codesearch and some manual digging. The OpenDev team has begun the process of removing some of the supporting infrastructure and testing as well [1]. This list is probably not comprehensive but is a start. These projects will need to look at removing their CentOS 8 CI jobs (optionally replacing them with CentOS 8 Stream jobs): * devstack (victoria and older branches) * tripleo-validations * tripleo-upgrade * openstack-ansible * rally * aodh * cinderlib * kolla-ansible * openstack-chef * sahara * tenks * validations-common * validations-lib One thing to keep in mind is that stable branches may also be affected. We'd like to do this cleanup as gracefully as possible, but reality is that some projects are unlikely to completely remove their use of CentOS 8. I think that we can give it until the end of January before we force merge updates to remove the nodeset and label from our configs. At that point any Zuul configuration still using CentOS 8 will enter an error state and correcting it will be necessary to make updates to those Zuul configs.

[requirements] The version of zeroconf in upper constraints no longer supports python3.6
by William Szumski 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

The zeroconf package seems to have dropped support for python3.6 since 0.38.0, see: https://github.com/jstasiak/python-zeroconf#0380. We currently have 0.38.1 in upper-constraints. My understanding was that the yoga release would still support python3.6. This is important for RHEL8 based distributions that only ship python3.6. Do we need to constrain zeroconf to a version <=0.37.0?

[nova][placement] Openstack only building one VM per machine in cluster, then runs out of resources
by Eugen Block 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hi all, I would like to follow up on a discussion from last year [1] since the issue is still present. In a fresh Victoria deployment we faced the same issue and my colleague tracked it down to a reoccuring issue within MariaDB [2]. Quoting from his response to a different thread [3]: ---snip--- MariaDB is version 10.6.5. When running placement API in debug mode, its log reveals a message like "Over capacity for VCPU on resource provider . Needed: 1, Used: 4118, Capacity: 768.0" but checking the entries in the placement db / allocations table shows that "4118" is the sum of all resources for the resource provided, not only for the CPU class. The problem results from errors in the DBMS handling the "outer join" with a subquery while retrieving the currently allocated resources. ---snip--- We found a workaround for this environment, but I wanted to bring some more attention to this, hoping that this will be fixed in MariaDB. Regards, Eugen [1] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2021-July/023430.ht… [2] https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-25714 [3] https://serverfault.com/questions/1064579/openstack-only-building-one-vm-pe…
