[nova][tc] Removing md5 in password injection
by Thomas Goirand 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hi, I didn't feel it would be controversial, though it seems removing md5 password injection is still up to debate: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/935512 Of course, I'd like the TC to agree with me that injecting md5-hashed passwords is, in 2024, to be considered a security problem that should be fixed (and backported) ASAP. BTW, IMO this patch could be using the new feature from oslo_utils.secretutils that Takashi managed to get in: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.utils/+/931899 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.utils/+/935525 These, IMO, should also be backported to earlier oslo.utils releases, so we can fix earlier OpenStack releases in a nicer way. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[cinder][ceph rbd] change volume type
by Tony Liu 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hi, With Antelope, old volume type is on replicated pool and new volume type is on EC pool. Change volume type doesn't work, volume type remains and no error returns. Is such change supported? I also tried change volume type from one replicated pool to another replicated pool. Doesn't work either. Am I missing anything? Thanks! Tony

[Openstack-ansible][Rabbitmq] Rabbitmq role is installing latest version of rabbitmq even after setting package version in variable file
by Danish Khan 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Dear All, I have upgraded few of my openstack clusters from Ussuri to Wallaby successfully. But it seems rabbitmq repo is changed and now rabbitmq is getting its packages from: https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/deb/ubuntu Everything was working fine until I face below issue while running rabbitmq playbook: TASK [rabbitmq_server : Apply rabbitmq policies] ******************************************************************************************************* failed: [rabbit_mq_container] (item={'name': 'HA', 'pattern': '^(?!(amq\\.)|(.*_fanout_)|(reply_)).*', 'priority': 0, 'tags': 'ha-mode=all'}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "cmd": "/usr/sbin/rabbitmqctl -q -n '' set_policy -p / HA '^(?!(amq\\.)|(.*_fanout_)|(reply_)).*' '{\"ha-mode\": \"all\"}' --priority 0", "item": {"name": "HA", "pattern": "^(?!(amq\\.)|(.*_fanout_)|(reply_)).*", "priority": 0, "tags": "ha-mode=all"}, "msg": "Error:\nValidation failed\n\n[{<<\"ha-mode\">>,<<\"all\">>}] are not recognised policy settings", "rc": 69, "stderr": "Error:\nValidation failed\n\n[{<<\"ha-mode\">>,<<\"all\">>}] are not recognised policy settings\n\n", "stderr_lines": ["Error:", "Validation failed", "", "[{<<\"ha-mode\">>,<<\"all\">>}] are not recognised policy settings", ""], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} It seems ha-mode=all is deprecated in latest version of Rabbitmq (4.0.4). I tried to install 3.8 or some other compatible version of rabbitmq but anyway the latest version of rabbitmq is getting installed. I have updated below entries of file /etc/ansible/roles/rabbitmq_server/vars/debian.yml : _rabbitmq_package_version: "3.8.14-1" and _rabbitmq_erlang_version_spec: "{{ (rabbitmq_install_method == 'external_repo') | ternary('1:23.3.4.15-1', '1:22.*') }}" Can someone please help me with this? I guess either I need to find a away to install specific version of rabbitmq to fox rabbitmq policy issue or I need to update parameters of command while applying policy. Regards, Danish Khan

Hi all, what are the default values for: cpu_allocation_ratio ram_allocation_ratio disk_allocation_ratio when using kolla-ansible? I can't seem to find any clear statement about it. Currently I assume they are 1.0 for each. Cheers, Oliver

Nothing else comes to mind. Basically it's the desire to avoid ToFU style finger-crossing that the SSH host key you get on initially connecting to a newly booted server instance is really coming from that instance and not a MitM or honeypot. It's possible in most providers to create an authenticated backchannel by abusing the console log, as I described, but that has its own challenges. I suppose there might be alternative management protocols similar to SSH which rely on asymmetric key algorithms to authenticate hosts, but I'm not personally familiar with any (none with the near ubiquity of SSH at any rate). > perhaps we can try and capture this is a spec or separate thread > and work out what an mvp would look like. there would basically be > two part, one extednign the metadata api to support recording the > host key fingerprint somewhere, and then making that discoverable > via the main api perhaps in server show. That would make sense, and it would probably also be a good idea to try to involve e.g. a cloud-init maintainer in any such design discussion, as this would need client-side integration eventually anyway in whatever's going to communicate the key back to nova. > is we allowed read write access to all instance metadata we would > would not actually need to modify the main api as you can already > list metadata on an instance but im worried that could be abused > so i don't know if that is a good idea.

Agreed, I suppose the field could be given a more generic name in case certain kinds of guests wanted to store functionally similar things in it, but as I said I don't know what else that would end up being anyway. -- Jeremy Stanley

Some questions about ironic
by Johnny Hao 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

Hi Buddies, I am new to ironic, after some study, I have several questions about it, could anyone help to answer? Thanks a lot. 1. According to the workflow chart below, what's the communication method between nova-compute and Ironic API? HTTP API call or RPC call through mq like rabbitmq? So are the communications between Ironic Conductor and other components of Neutron, Glance and Cinder/Swift etc? 2. Where do Ironic services run (Ironic API/Conductor/Drivers and DB)? In the controller node? Or a separate node is also supported? ** -- Best regards QingFeng Hao

[nova] riscv64 emulation support
by James Page 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

Hi Nova Team We've had some initial support for enabling RISCV64 support in Nova in a review for sometime which I refreshed this week: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/889137 Sean suggested that this really needs a blueprint and discussion at the next Nova meeting (which I can't make) so proposing discussion via ML instead: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/riscv64-emulation-support I'm also going to look at the nova-emulation job to see if that can be extended to cover RISCV64 as well - there are a few nuances with dependent packages (opensbi) in Ubuntu 24.04 but I think we can come up with something workable for testing. Review and comments are appreciated. Thanks James
