ERROR openstack [-] Resource OS::TripleO::Network::Ports::ControlPlaneVipPort maps to type OS::Neutron::Port and the Neutron service is not available when using ephemeral Heat.| Openstack tripleo wallaby version
by Swogat Pradhan 24 Dec '24

24 Dec '24

Hi, I am currently trying to deploy openstack wallaby using tripleo arch. I created the network jinja templates, ran the following commands also: #openstack overcloud network provision --stack overcloud --output networks-deployed-environment.yaml custom_network_data.yaml # openstack overcloud network vip provision --stack overcloud --output vip-deployed-environment.yaml custom_vip_data.yaml # openstack overcloud node provision --stack overcloud --overcloud-ssh-key /home/stack/sshkey/id_rsa overcloud-baremetal-deploy.yaml and used the environment files in the openstack overcloud deploy command: (undercloud) [stack@hkg2director ~]$ cat deploy.sh #!/bin/bash THT=/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/ CNF=/home/stack/ openstack overcloud deploy --templates $THT \ -r $CNF/templates/roles_data.yaml \ -n $CNF/workplace/custom_network_data.yaml \ -e ~/containers-prepare-parameter.yaml \ -e $CNF/templates/node-info.yaml \ -e $CNF/templates/scheduler-hints.yaml \ -e $CNF/workplace/networks-deployed-environment.yaml \ -e $CNF/workplace/vip-deployed-environment.yaml \ -e $CNF/workplace/overcloud-baremetal-deployed.yaml \ -e $CNF/workplace/custom-net-bond-with-vlans.yaml Now when i run the ./deploy.sh script i encounter an error stating: ERROR openstack [-] Resource OS::TripleO::Network::Ports::ControlPlaneVipPort maps to type OS::Neutron::Port and the Neutron service is not available when using ephemeral Heat.

Kolla Ansible on Ubuntu 20.04 - cloud-init & other network issues
by Tobias McNulty 10 Oct '24

10 Oct '24

Hi, I'm attempting to use Kolla Ansible 14.6.0 to deploy OpenStack Yoga on a small 3-node Ubuntu 20.04 cluster. The nodes have 128 GB RAM each, dual Xeon processors, and dual 10G Intel NICs. The NICs are connected to access ports on a 10G switch with separate VLANs for the local and external networks. All the playbooks run cleanly, but cloud-init is failing in the Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 VMs I attempt to boot. The VM images are unmodified from https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/, and cloud-init works fine if I mount a second volume with user-data. The error is a timeout attempting to reach 169.254.169.254. This occurs both when booting a VM in an internal routed network and directly in an external network. I tried various neutron plugin agents (ovn, linuxbridge, and openvswitch both with and without firewall_driver = openvswitch <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/reference/networking/neutro…>) first with a clean install of the entire OS each time, all with the same result. Running tcpdump looking for 169.254.169.254 shows nothing. As a possible clue, the virtual NICs are unable to pass any traffic (e.g., to reach an external DHCP server) unless I completely disable port security on the interface (even if the associated security group is wide open). But disabling port security does not fix cloud-init (not to mention I don't really want to disable port security). Are there any additional requirements related to deploying OpenStack with Kolla on Ubuntu 20.04? This is a fairly vanilla configuration using the multinode inventory as a starting point. I tried to follow the Quick Start <https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/yoga/user/quickstart.html> as closely as possible; the only material difference I see is that I'm using the same 3 nodes for control + compute. I am using MAAS so it's easy to get a clean OS install on all three nodes ahead of each attempt. I plan to try again with the standard (non-HWE) kernel just in case, but otherwise I am running out of ideas. In case of any additional clues, here are my globals.yml and inventory file, along with the playbook I'm using to configure the network, images, VMs, etc., after bootstrapping the cluster: https://gist.github.com/tobiasmcnulty/7dbbdbc67abc08cbb013bf5983852ed6 Thank you in advance for any advice! Cheers, Tobias

Live migration fails
by Szabo, Istvan (Agoda) 07 Aug '24

[ptl][tc] OpenStack packages PyPi additional external maintainers audit & cleanup
by Ghanshyam Mann 17 May '24

17 May '24

Hi PTLs, As you might know or have seen for your project package on PyPi, OpenStack deliverables on PyPi have additional maintainers, For example, https://pypi.org/project/murano/, https://pypi.org/project/glance/ We should keep only 'openstackci' as a maintainer in PyPi so that releases of OpenStack deliverables can be managed in a single place. Otherwise, we might face the two sets of maintainers' places and packages might get released in PyPi by additional maintainers without the OpenStack project team knowing about it. One such case is in Horizon repo 'xstatic-font-awesome' where a new maintainer is added by an existing additional maintainer and this package was released without the Horizon team knowing about the changes and release. - https://github.com/openstack/xstatic-font-awesome/pull/2 To avoid the 'xstatic-font-awesome' case for other packages, TC discussed it in their weekly meetings[1] and agreed to audit all the OpenStack packages and then clean up the additional maintainers in PyPi (keep only 'openstackci' as maintainers). To help in this task, TC requests project PTL to perform the audit for their project's repo and add comments in the below etherpad. - https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack-pypi-maintainers-cleanup Thanks to knikolla to automate the listing of the OpenStack packages with additional maintainers in PyPi which you can find the result in output.txt at the bottom of this link. I have added the project list of who needs to check their repo in etherpad. - https://gist.github.com/knikolla/7303a65a5ddaa2be553fc6e54619a7a1 Please complete the audit for your project before March 15 so that TC can discuss the next step in vPTG.

[designate] Proposal to deprecate the agent framework and agent based backends
by Michael Johnson 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

TLDR: The Designate team would like to deprecate the backend agent framework and the agent based backends due to lack of development and design issues with the current implementation. The following backends would be deprecated: Bind9 (Agent), Denominator, Microsoft DNS (Agent), Djbdns (Agent), Gdnsd (Agent), and Knot2 (Agent). Designate includes many backend DNS server drivers[1], many of which are "native" (also known as xfr type backends) backend implementations. In addition to the "native" backends, Designate has an agent backend[2] that supports other backends via an agent process. To quote the agent backend documentation[2]: This backend uses an extension[3] of the DNS protocol itself to send management requests to the remote agent processes, where the requests will be actioned. The rpc traffic between designate and the agent is both unauthenticated and unencrypted. Do not run this traffic over unsecured networks. Here are the reasons we are proposing to deprecate the agent framework now: 1. The agent protocol used by Designate is using an "unassigned"[4][5] DNS opcode (14) that is causing problems with the dnspython library >= 2.3.0 which is now validating the opcode when building DNS messages. It is a bad practice to use "unassigned" values as they may be officially assigned at any time, likely with an incompatible message format. 2. The agent backends are not tested in the OpenStack jobs[1]. 3. Many of the agent backends have been marked as "Experimental" since 2016 with no additional contributions beyond general repository code maintenance. 4. The protocol between the Designate worker process and the agent process is unauthenticated and unencrypted. 5. We do not know of a development resource to rewrite the agent framework protocol to address issue #1 and #4 above. 6. The introduction of catalog zones[6] may eliminate the need for some of the agent based backend drivers. By marking the agent framework and agent based backends "deprecated" in the Antelope cycle, we would remove the code no earlier than the "C" release of OpenStack (per the OpenStack deprecation policy[7]). In the meantime, issue #1 has been worked around by overriding the dnspython opcode validation[7] as needed in the Designate code (similar to a monkey patch). This is not a sustainable long term solution. The following backend agent based drivers would be marked "deprecated" in addition to the agent framework itself: Bind9 (Agent) Denominator Microsoft DNS (Agent) Djbdns (Agent) Gdnsd (Agent) Knot2 (Agent) We plan to propose patches for the deprecation over the next week, but will not merge them until at least January 24th to allow time for comment from the community. If you have concerns about this deprecation plan or are interested in rewriting the agent framework protocol to address the above issues, please reply to this announcement.

[ptl][tc][winstackers] Final call for Winstackers PTL and maintainers
by James Page 11 Sep '23

11 Sep '23

Hi All As announced by Lucian last November (see [0]) Cloudbase Solutions are no longer in a position to maintain support for running OpenStack on Windows and have also ceased operation of their 3rd party CI for the windows support across a number of OpenStack projects. This situation has resulted in the Winstackers project becoming PTL-less for the 2023.2 cycle with no volunteers responding to the TC's call to fill this role and take this feature in OpenStack forward (see [1]). This is the final call for any maintainers to step forward if this feature is important to them in OpenStack. The last user survey in 2022 indicated that 2% of respondents were running on Hyper-V so this might be important enough to warrant a commitment from someone operating OpenStack on Windows to maintain these features going forward. Here is a reminder from Lucian's original email on the full list of projects which are impacted in some way: * nova hyper-v driver - in-tree plus out-of-tree compute-hyperv driver * os-win - common Windows library for Openstack * neutron hyperv ml2 plugin and agent * ovs on Windows and neutron ovs agent support * cinder drivers - SMB and Windows iSCSI * os-brick Windows connectors - iSCSI, FC, SMB, RBD * ceilometer Windows poller * manila Windows driver * glance Windows support * freerdp gateway The lack of 3rd party CI for testing all of this really needs to be addressed as well. If no maintainers are forthcoming between now and the next PTG in June the TC will need to officially retire the project and start the process of removing support for Windows across the various projects that support this operating system in some way - either directly or through the use of os-win. For clarity this call refers to the use of the Hyper-V virtualisation driver and associated Windows server components to provide WIndows based OpenStack Hypervisors and does not relate to the ability to run Windows images as guests on OpenStack. Regards James [0] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-November/03104… [1] https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2023-March/032888.h…

[openstack-ansible] Recommended branch for a production environment?
by Roger Rivera 05 Sep '23

05 Sep '23

Hello, We have deployed Openstack-Ansible in a test environment and we were wondering what the recommended repository branch is to deploy in a production environment that will be integrated with a separate Ceph cluster. 1. We are thinking about pinning to the stable/zed. Is that recommended over the master branch? 2. Are bugs ironed out on both master and stable/zed with the same cadence? 3. Additionally, is Debian 11 a better alternative than Ubuntu 22 for target hosts? We noticed Ubuntu 22.04 support was added recently, whereas Debian 11 has been supported for quite some time now which leads us to believe its stability/integration could be more mature at this point? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you, -- *Roger *

[puppet] Proposing core team clean up
by Takashi Kajinami 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Hello, I went through the current core reviewers and found out that the current list includes some people no longer working in the OpenStack community. I'd like to propose removing the following persons from the core reviewer team as we haven't seen these people making any activity in the community recently. * Pradeep Kilambi - puppet-aodh, puppet-ceilometer, puppet-gnocchi, puppet-panko * Richard Megginson - puppet-keystone * Denis Egorenko - puppet-murano * Serg Melikyan - puppet-murano * Sergey Kolekonov - puppet-neutron * David Moreau Simard - puppet-openstack-integration * Yu xingchao - all modules Also, I confirmed that Wes Hayutin is no longer working for OpenStack and he agreed to retire from the core reviewer position. Thus I'll remove him as well. I'll be open for any feedback for one week to hear any thoughts/feedback about this removal. I'd like to take this moment to thank all people for their past work. We always welcome them back if they resume their work in this project. Thank you, Takashi KAJINAMI

[cloudkitty] question to the scope_key in cloudkitty
by Noah Elias Feldt 28 Jul '23

28 Jul '23

Hello! I am currently trying to get CloudKitty to work with the Prometheus Collector and PyScripts. I noticed that the scope_key for Prometheus can only be changed once in the global configuration file. This was a problem for me because we need different scope_keys for different metrics. Many of the metrics still need the scope key "tenant_id" and some others "project_id". I have found in the documentation of CloudKitty no way to change this for each metric, so I have internally changed something in the source code and added the function to set the scope_key for each metric individually. I just wanted to ask if you would be interested if I submit the small change upstream? Thank you. Regards Noah Feldt

Experience with VGPUs
by Oliver Weinmann 22 Jun '23

22 Jun '23

Dear All, we are planning to have a POC on VGPUs in our Openstack cluster. Therefore I have a few questions and generally wanted to ask how well VGPUs are supported in Openstack. The docs, in particular: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/zed/admin/virtual-gpu.html explain quite well the general implementation. But I am more interested in general experience with using VGPUs in Openstack. We currently have a small YOGA cluster, planning to upgrade to Zed soon, with a couple of compute nodes. Currently our users use consumer cards like RTX 3050/3060 on their laptops and the idea would be to provide VGPUs to these users. For this I would like to make a very small POC where we first equip one compute node with an Nvidia GPU. Gladly also a few tips on which card would be a good starting point are highly appreciated. I know this heavily depends on the server hardware but this is something I can figure out later. Also do we need additional software licenses to run this? I saw this very nice presentation from CERN on VGPUs: https://indico.cern.ch/event/776411/contributions/3345183/attachments/18516… In the table they are listing Quadro vDWS licenses. I assume we need these in order to use the cards? Also do we need something like Cyborg for this or is VGPU fully implemented in Nova? Best Regards, Oliver

[ironic] ARM Support in CI: Call for vendors / contributors / interested parties
by Jay Faulkner 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

Hi stackers, Ironic has published an experimental Ironic Python Agent image for ARM64 ( https://tarballs.opendev.org/openstack/ironic-python-agent-builder/dib/file…) and discussed promoting this image to supported via CI testing. However, we have a problem: there are no Ironic developers with easy access to ARM hardware at the moment, and no Ironic developers with free time to commit to improving our support of ARM hardware. So we're putting out a call for help: - If you're a hardware vendor and want your ARM hardware supported? Please come talk to the Ironic community about setting up third-party-CI. - Are you an operator or contributor from a company invested in ARM bare metal? Please come join the Ironic community to help us build this support. Thanks, Jay Faulkner Ironic PTL

[puppet] puppet module improvements
by Benedikt Trefzer 06 Jun '23

06 Jun '23

Hi all I use the openstack puppet modules to deploy openstack. I'd like to suggest some improvements to the modules and like to know what the community thinks about: 1.) use proper types for parameters Parameter validation is done with 'validate_legacy...' instead of defining the class/resource parameter with a proper type all over the code. I cannot imaging of any advantage not using proper type definitions. Instead using typed parameters would be more efficient an code readability would increase. 2.) params.pp This is the legacy way to define parameter defaults for different OS's. In the modern puppet world a module specific hiera structure is used, which eliminates the need of params.pp class (with inheritance and include). The usage of hiera improves readability and flexibility (every parameter can be overwritten on request, eg. change of packages names etc.) This also eliminate the restriction that the modules can only be used by certain OS'es (osfamily 'RedHat' or 'Debian'). 3.) Eliminate "if OS=='bla' {" statements in code These statements make the code very inflexible. It cannot be overruled if necessary (eg. if I use custom packages to install and do not need the code provided in the if statement). Instead a parameter should be used with a default provided in hiera. Since there is lot of code to change I do not expect this to be done in a single commit (per module) but in steps probably in more than one release cycle. But defining this as best practice for openstack puppet modules and start using above in new commits would bring the code forward. Finally: These are suggestions open for discussion. In no way I like to critic the current state of the puppet modules (which is quite good, but a bit legacy) or the people working on the modules. This is just a feedback/suggestion from an operator using the modules on a daily basis. Regards Benedikt Trefzer

swift container retention
by Geert Geurts 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

Hallo, I've gotten the assignment to implement a backup solution using openstack swift containers. What we want is that the files of customers are kept in the customers own container and for those files to retain their versions on updates of the file. So far so good, this is all possible, and extensively documented online. Now, the second part is more complicated it appears where I thougth this would be a quite common usage example of object storage. I cannot find how I can automagically delete versions of files that are older then X days. There is the X-delete-after header, but this header needs to be added for each transaction. What I want is for all objects in a container to get deleted after X days without having to add a header once the object is uploaded. Does anyone have suggestions on how I could implement this requirement?

Kubernetes Conformance 1.24 + 1.25
by Kendall Nelson 05 Jun '23

05 Jun '23

Hello All! First of all, I want to say a huge thanks to Guilherme Steinmuller for all his help ensuring that OpenStack Magnum remains Kubernetes Certified [1]! We are certified for v1.24! However, in digging into the set of conformance tests this round, it appears that we will not be able to get 1.25 certified with the current Magnum. This means that in May when we have to re-cert (every 3 months they reach an EOL because that's k8s release cadence) we will not be able to maintain this which is the other part of why I wanted to write this email - to raise awareness and ask for help digging into what needs to happen to make sure we can retain this. Tangentially related, Guilherme has posted a patch with documentation for how to run the conformance tests for yourself and it could use some reviews [2]. And one last thing, I have begun conversation with the opendev folks about what it might take to setup jobs to run the conformance tests periodically so that we don't have to manually run them when it's time to recert. I am planning on submitting a forum topic for this for those interested :) Long live LOKI! - Kendall Nelson [1] https://github.com/cncf/k8s-conformance/pull/2446 [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/magnum/+/849156

Is there any concern to enable 'hw:numa_nodes=1' on all flavors, as long as that flavor can fit into one numa node?

[ironic][stable] Proposing EOL of ironic project branches older than Wallaby
by Jay Faulkner 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Hi all, Ironic has a large amount of stable branches still in EM. We need to take action to ensure those branches are either retired or have CI repaired to the point of being usable. Specifically, I'm looking at these branches across all Ironic projects: - stable/queens - stable/rocky - stable/stein - stable/train - stable/ussuri - stable/victoria In lieu of any volunteers to maintain the CI, my recommendation for all the branches listed above is that they be marked EOL. If someone wants to volunteer to maintain CI for those branches, they can propose one of the below paths be taken instead: 1 - Someone volunteers to maintain these branches, and also report the status of CI of these older branches periodically on the Ironic whiteboard and in Ironic meetings. If you feel strongly that one of these branches needs to continue to be in service; volunteering in this way is how to save them. 2 - We seriously reduce CI. Basically removing all tempest tests to ensure that CI remains reliable and able to merge emergency or security fixes when needed. In some cases; this still requires CI fixes as some older inspector branches are failing *installing packages* in unit tests. I would still like, in this case, that someone volunteers to ensure the minimalist CI remains happy. My intention is to let this message serve as notice and a waiting period; and if I've not heard any response here or in Monday's Ironic meeting (in 6 days), I will begin taking action on retiring these branches. This is simply a start; other branches (including bugfix branches) are also in bad shape in CI, but getting these retired will significantly reduce the surface area of projects and branches to evaluate. I know it's painful to drop support for these branches; but we've provided good EM support for these branches for a long time and by pruning them away, we'll be able to save time to dedicate to other items. Thanks, Jay Faulkner

Hi, I have a DCN setup and there is a requirement to use a netapp storage device in one of the edge sites. Can someone please confirm if it is possible? And if so then should i add the parameters in the edge deployment script or the central deployment script. Any suggestions? With regards, Swogat Pradhan
