Issuse with OVN DVR generate too much flow on compute node
by Sang Tran Quoc 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Hi OpenStack Community, I've indicated very weird behavior about ovn flows when VM is associated with vrouter, I use one new compute node with only 1 VM for testing and result as below: * When VM attach to vRouter without external network: Only add new 2047 flows. * When vRouter attach to external network (provider-net2): It will generate 147k flows immediately ? * We've tested with VM direct attach to provider-net2 also generate 147k flows. [cid:image001.png@01DA2D02.780FB210] My environment is OpenStack Victoria version, neutron deployed with OVN, DVR, Distributed FIP mode, and provider-net2 using VLAN setup. The problems lead to the heavily process of sync flow which slows down the normal VM operations and packet drop a little bit while update large flow on the ovswitch. Could anyone has experienced this behavior before or have a solution config/patch neutron to address this? Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank and regards, Sang Tran

Re: [URGENT] - Help needed with open stack services hung

Hey team, Thanks for those who replied off list. Thankfully we figured it out, it was due to underlying resolver config mysterious mulching AAAA records instead of requesting A records… Probably goes to say, Openstack needs to have some seriously heavier logging 😃 haha. Thanks! Karl.

What happens with requests themselves? Are they answered with error or just hang? Also how environment was deployed? Some deployment tooling or manually with packages, k8s?

[tripleo][ironic][wallaby] Partition Table: loop
by Alexey Kashavkin 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

I have an issue with nodes provisioning. All my nodes are getting a partition table - loop. I forcefully specified 'disk_label:gpt/msdos' in the capabilities properties, but it didn't help. I can't figure out at what moment it creates a partition for the entire disk size: Model: Virtio Block Device (virtblk) Disk /dev/vda: 53.7GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: loop Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Flags 1 0.00B 53.7GB 53.7GB xfs This causes the following error: Failed to check the number of primary partitions present on /dev/vda for node 8d5ed008-efea-4df7-a190-aab8274a3bd5. Error: The device /dev/vda does not have a valid MBR partition table I tried to find in the ironic documentation where exactly a partition can be partitioned to the whole disk, but I couldn't find it. Perhaps it is somehow affected by the fact that 'is_whole_disk_image = true' is specified in the deployment process. I also have an x86_64 host as a compute node, it boots in legacy mode. I got the image for it from here - https://images.rdoproject.org/centos8/wallaby/rdo_trunk/current-tripleo/ I also get the same error on it. What could affect this?

Individual Board Director nominations: 3d left
by Kurt Garloff 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Hi, the Open Infra communities have many strengths. One of them is a well-balanced board of directors that has representatives from all member classes, the Platinum members, the Gold members, and from individuals [1] that are part of the communities and elected -- each class contributing 1/3 of the seats.[4] I am worried about the individual class though: There are currently only 3 candidates that have enough nominations to be on the ballot [2]. 3 more needing a few more nominations. But I believe there should be a few more candidates on the ballot, otherwise it becomes an election without choice, something that is not good IMVHO. So please identify individuals that want to serve and nominate [3] them. This makes the elections meaningful and allows the board to do its work with also the individual members well represented. And there are only 3 more days to go for this!

[kolla] [2023.1] [masakari] Orphaned instances on node shutdown
by Rob Jefferson 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Folks, I'm running into an issue with instances appearing to be running, even though they shouldn't be. The environment in this case is a virtualized OpenStack Kolla (2023.1) cluster, with three compute nodes and three control plane nodes. I am trying to see what happens when I create and terminate instances, in an attempt to figure out failover behavior. The three computes are in a single segment. I created four instances: +--------------------+--------+---------------------------+ | Name | Status | Host | +--------------------+--------+---------------------------+ | rj_testinstance_04 | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1005 | | rj_testinstance_03 | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1004 | | rj_testinstance_02 | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1006 | | rj_testinstance | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1005 | +--------------------+--------+---------------------------+ I decided to see what would happen if I went in and shutdown devtest-libvirt1-muon-1005 (which has two instances running). So I ssh'd into the machine and entered (as root): `echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger` to force a crash, which duly occurred. I then made sure the host was seen as down: +---------------------------+-------+ | Hypervisor Hostname | State | +---------------------------+-------+ | devtest-libvirt1-muon1005 | down | | devtest-libvirt1-muon1004 | up | | devtest-libvirt1-muon1006 | up | +---------------------------+-------+ But even after this, the instances seem to still be up, including on the now crashed machine: +--------------------+--------+---------------------------+ | Name | Status | Host | +--------------------+--------+---------------------------+ | rj_testinstance_04 | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1005 | | rj_testinstance_03 | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1004 | | rj_testinstance_02 | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1006 | | rj_testinstance | ACTIVE | devtest-libvirt1-muon1005 | +--------------------+--------+---------------------------+ I would have expected the instances to have been regenerated on other compute hosts, or some sort of error. The nodes are on the same segment, so Masakari should have at least attempted to roll over the instances to other computes in the segment. But checking the instance details suggests that nothing has happened. The instances are just... lost. The Masakari host monitor log file reflects reality: 2023-12-11 19:21:49.953 8 INFO masakarimonitors.hostmonitor.host_handler.handle_host [-] 'devtest-libvirt1-muon1005' is 'offline' (current: 'offline'). Needless to say, I'm very confused here and am sure what's going on. Any advice would help. Thanks, Rob

[neutron][ovn] Outbound SNAT behavior
by James Denton 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Hi everyone, While looking at an OVS->OVN migration, we came across a use-case that doesn’t provide 1:1 compatibility and I wanted to check with the community to see if there were any suggestions or ideas on how to proceed. In an OVS-based environment, we have users with a typical layout: <external provider network> | <neutron router> | | <tenantnet1> <tenantnet2> The users have implemented static routes on the Neutron router using the extraroutes API, which works great, and the default SNAT behavior implemented within the qrouter namespace handles any network traffic egressing the router, not just directly-connected tenant networks (see iptables entries below): -A neutron-l3-agent-snat -j neutron-l3-agent-float-snat -A neutron-l3-agent-snat -o qg-700f84b0-6b -j SNAT --to-source 168.47.160.223 --random-fully -A neutron-l3-agent-snat -m mark ! --mark 0x2/0xffff -m conntrack --ctstate DNAT -j SNAT --to-source 168.47.160.223 --random-fully -A neutron-postrouting-bottom -m comment --comment "Perform source NAT on outgoing traffic." -j neutron-l3-agent-snat OVN, on the other hand, appears to implement snat rules in the logical router based on directly-connected tenant networks, which means that traffic sourcing from other networks (not managed by Neutron but routable within a Neutron router, including to a VM or appliance) is not source NAT’d and egresses the router as its real IP. This behavior results in the traffic being effectively blackholed, as there’s no return route and no real desire to have exposed those IPs anyway. Here’s an example of the nat list which includes the directly connected tenant network: root@lab-controller01:~# ovn-nbctl lr-nat-list neutron-edfd7115-5a81-46b7-9692-fe227d395b0b TYPE GATEWAY_PORT EXTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_PORT LOGICAL_IP EXTERNAL_MAC LOGICAL_PORT snat 192.168.3.33 10.254.254.0/24 The extraroute in the router is: destination: 172.16.0.0/24, nexthop: 10.254.254.6 I can add an entry manually, which allows the snat for the secondary network to work as expected, but results in some other issues where the snat(s) don’t get added back on a disable/enable of the router: root@lab-controller01:~# ovn-nbctl lr-nat-add neutron-edfd7115-5a81-46b7-9692-fe227d395b0b snat 192.168.3.33 172.16.0.0/24 root@lab-controller01:~# ovn-nbctl lr-nat-list neutron-edfd7115-5a81-46b7-9692-fe227d395b0b TYPE GATEWAY_PORT EXTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_PORT LOGICAL_IP EXTERNAL_MAC LOGICAL_PORT snat 192.168.3.33 10.254.254.0/29 snat 192.168.3.33 172.16.0.0/24 I understand this is probably not a supported usecase, but one that worked nonetheless, so any suggestions on how to mirror this functionality in a supported way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, James

[kolla-ansible] rocky spice containers missing
by Michael Knox 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Hi all. I was looking to use SPICE instead of VNC, but noticed that there are no rocky containers for it on quay.io. I found a ticket for CentOS 8 source, is this still the same reason? https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+bug/1955549 Cheers Michael
