[swift] Increase part power on account/container ring
by Thiago De Moraes Teixeira 13 Mar '24

13 Mar '24

Morning, Here we have a cluster with Accounts/Containers ring with part power 8 and our Objects ring with part power 20 (builted later). Now we want to migrate the 'old' Accounts/Containers ring to a new one, with higher part power, like 20. Is there a better way to do this? I'm doing some crazy tests with SAIO and multiples storage nodes, based in build a new ring with part power 20 and just swap the old files (account/container.ring.gz) with the new ones and let the replicators do their jobs, moving *.db files to their new home partition. Until today these tests worked fine, but I don't know how to do it on a large scale, with some terabytes of data. Just wondering about some ways to do that :) And before/after this change, is there any command in swift that i can audit this entire process, ensuring that cluster data remains the same?

[cinder][glance][nova][telemetry][monasca][oslo][vmware] Can we deprecate(and remove) VMWare support ?
by Takashi Kajinami 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

Hi all, As you might know, some of the OpenStack projects currently support usage of VMWare component. However recently the VMware virt driver in nova was marked experimental in 2023.2 release [1] and it has been discussed that the driver will be removed in 2023.2 release[2], after deprecation is backported to 2023.1. (Please someone from nova team correct me if I'm wrong) So my current question is; Does it make sense to deprecate all of the features to support VMWare component ? My understanding is that these features were added to be used along with VMWare virt driver in nova, but once the virt driver is removed this use case is voided. I'll list up the features within the discussion scope below. nova: VMWare virt driver (this is already experimental by [1]) cinder: VMware Storage Driver (vmdk) glance: VMWare Datastore (I proposed deprecating this in [3][4]) ceilometer: VMWare virt driver (this was deprecated by [5]) os-brick: VmdkConnector monasca-agent: vcenter collector (*1) oslo.vmware: the whole project NOTE: These features are found based on dependency on oslo.vmware but there can be a few not listed here. Outside of OpenStack's governance, there are two projects dependent on oslo.vmware, networking-vsphere and vmware-nsx but both of these look inactive. Because of SLURP, we have to complete deprecation during in 2024.1 release so that we can drop the feature right after 2024.1. If we fail then we have to maintain these features until 2025.1 (the features already deprecated can be removed earlier, though). So I'd like to get feedback and decision before deadline for 2024.1 Thank you, Takashi (*1) Monasca is now inactive so I doubt anyone would work on this topic before it is retired.

[neutron][vpnaas][ovn] Pushing VPNaaS support through OVN
by Mohammed Naser 12 Feb '24

12 Feb '24

Hi all! One of the biggest show stoppers for us for OVN is VPNaaS but I think it’s time that we’d like to be involved in getting it over the line, I want to thank Bodo who has shown a lot of patience in getting the code necessary, and it seems that the code works for them in production as well. I’d like to ask if possible for folks to review these two outstanding changes: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-tempest-plugin/+/847007 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron-vpnaas/+/765353 I know Slawek had some concerns, so hoping that raising via the email list if Bodo can address those and over the next bit of time we can get this landed in, since it even has actual proper testing both in CI and with user feedback. Thanks! Mohammed

[all] SQLAlchemy 2.x support in Bobcat
by Thomas Goirand 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Hi, As you may know, and to my great frustration, I'm not the maintainer of SQLAlchemy in Debian, even though OpenStack is the biggest consumer of it. The current maintainer insists that he wants to upload SQLA 2.x in Unstable, potentially breaking all of OpenStack. At the present moment, if I understand correctly, we're not there yet, and Bobcat doesn't have such a support. It would be ok for me, *IF* there are patches available on master, that I could backport to Bobcat and maintain in the debian/patches folder of each project. However, the biggest current annoyance, is that I have no idea where we are at. Are we close to such a support? Is there a list of patches to apply on top of Bobcat that is maintained somewhere? Please enlighten me... :) Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

What are the correct auth caps for Ceph RBD clients of Cinder / Glance / Nova
by Christian Rohmann 31 Jan '24

31 Jan '24

Hey openstack-discuss, I am a little confused about correct and required Ceph authx permissions for the RBD clients in Cinder, Glance and also Nova: When Glance is requested to delete an image it will check if this image has depended children, see https://opendev.org/openstack/glance_store/src/commit/6f5011d1f05c99894fb8b…. The children of Glance images usually are (Cinder) volumes, which therefore live in a different RBD pool "volumes". But if such children do exist a 500 error is thrown by Glance API. There also is an bug about this issue on Launchpad [3]. Manually using the RBD client shows the same error: > # rbd -n client.glance -k /etc/ceph/ceph.client.glance.keyring -p > images children $IMAGE_ID > > 2023-12-13T16:51:48.131+0000 7f198cf4e640 -1 > librbd::image::OpenRequest: failed to retrieve name: (1) Operation not > permitted > 2023-12-13T16:51:48.131+0000 7f198d74f640 -1 librbd::ImageState: > 0x5639fdd5af60 failed to open image: (1) Operation not permitted > rbd: listing children failed: (1) Operation not permitted > 2023-12-13T16:51:48.131+0000 7f1990c474c0 -1 librbd::api::Image: > list_descendants: failed to open descendant b7078ed7ace50d from pool > instances:(1) Operation not permitted So it's a permission error. Following either the documentation of Glance [1] or Ceph [2] on configuring the ceph auth caps there is no mention of granting anything towards the volume pool to Glance. So this is what I currently have configured: > client.cinder > key: REACTED > caps: [mgr] profile rbd pool=volumes, profile rbd-read-only > pool=images > caps: [mon] profile rbd > caps: [osd] profile rbd pool=volumes, profile rbd-read-only > pool=images > > client.glance > key: REACTED > caps: [mgr] profile rbd pool=images > caps: [mon] profile rbd > caps: [osd] profile rbd pool=images > > client.nova > key: REACTED > caps: [mgr] profile rbd pool=instances, profile rbd pool=images > caps: [mon] profile rbd > caps: [osd] profile rbd pool=instances, profile rbd pool=images > When granting the glance client e.g. "rbd-read-only" to the volumes pool via: > > # ceph auth caps client.glance mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd > pool=images, profile rbd-read-only pool=volumes' mgr 'profile rbd > pool=images, profile rbd-read-only pool=volumes' > the error is gone. I am wondering through if this is really just a documentation bug (at OpenStack AND Ceph equally) and if Glance really needs read-only on the whole volumes pool or if there is some other capability that covers asking for child images. All in all I am simply wondering what the correct and least-privilege ceph auth caps for the RBD clients in Cinder, Glance and Nova would look like.

[murano][heat][mistral][tc] Maintenance of yaql library
by Takashi Kajinami 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

Hello, The yaql library is currently maintained under murano's governance and is used by not only murano but a few other projects such as heat and mistral. In heat the library is essential since we introduced yaql function support. Looking at gerrit groups, I noticed the yaql library is maintained by a very small core group[1] and release group[2], but I'm afraid most of the people in these groups are no longer active in the community. Because heat is dependent on the library, I'm wondering if some of the heat cores can be added to these two groups so that we (at least I) can help maintaining the library. I've checked the changes merged into murano repo for these two years but iiuc all of these changes are gate fix. Also a dummy change[3] indicates that its CI is currently broken. If the murano project is no longer active then I'm also willing to take over yaql and bring it to heat's governance (of cause only if it's acceptable). I'll add the current PTL as cc, but please let me know if anyone has any opinion or concern. # I'll add mistral tag because the project is also dependent on yaql. # Also tc is added because this discussion is related to project governance. Thank you Takashi Kajinami [1] https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/cba4f6fd54c3cc0d5706fc50b5ebd758860… [2] https://review.opendev.org/admin/groups/d5e894b34e5ab5a9fc2938a0d4e7bc76fd2… [3] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/murano/+/901888

[heat] Propose retirement of heat-cfnclient
by Takashi Kajinami 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

Hello, In heat project, we have had the heat-cfnclient library which contains the client utilities to consume AWS-compatible APIs in heat. However this repository is not properly maintained and I doubt that anyone is using (or even can use) it with recent Heat. - The repository still contains the utility for CloudWatch API which was already removed from heat - The heat-cfn command relies on Keystone v2 instead of v3 - No release has been made since the repository was created Based on the current situation I'd propose retiring the repository. I'd appreciate any feedback and if I hear no objections then I'll start the official process to retire the repository. Thank you, Takashi
