[openstack-helm] Use Loci images by default
by Vladimir Kozhukalov 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Hi, This is to announce multiple things: 1) OpenStack/Loci (a project for building OpenStack images) is currently equipped with periodic jobs that are run nightly. These jobs build images for 3 most recent OpenStack releases: - 2023.2 Bobcat - 2024.1 Caracal - 2024.2 Dalmatian Images are published to these two destinations: - docker.io/loci/* (which is known for its strict request rate limits) - quay.io/airshipit/* (which is much more tolerant to the number of requests) Images are tested before publishing with two basic deployment configurations: - compute-kit (Deploy minimal set of OpenStack components to run VMs) - cinder (Deploy Cinder with Ceph backend) 2) By default we are going to use Loci images published to the Quay registry [1]. All test jobs will be run with these images and this is also a recommendation for users to consume images from quay to mitigate possible rate limit issues. 3) OpenStack/OpenStack-Helm-Images project will build only non-OpenStack images. Primarily the motivation is to deduplicate the code base. Consequently, OpenStack images published nightly to docker.io/openstackhelm/* will not be updated after 2024.2.

Guidance Required for OVN-BGP-Agent Configuration with EVPN Mode
by AkashMadan Talebailkar 26 Jan '25

26 Jan '25

Dear Community, I hope this email finds you well. I came across this insightful discussion on the OpenStack forum regarding the OVN-BGP-Agent Discussio<https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-August/030080.…>n. We are doing research on openstack capability and would greatly appreciate your guidance. We are utilizing the OVN mechanism driver along with the OVN-BGP-Agent<https://github.com/openstack/ovn-bgp-agent/tree/master> in EVPN mode. Our objective is to establish BGP-EVPN between our leaf switch and the OpenStack controller. The OVN-BGP-Agent should advertise the IP and MAC addresses of VMs to its BGP peers. Please find attached the following details for your reference: bgp-agent.conf Agent configuration OVN_DB configuration Result We installed the OVN-BGP-Agent and FRR on the controller. Below are the steps we followed: Network Setup: Created a tenant network (NET) with a subnet of 121.168.0.0/24. Created a provider network (EXNET) with a subnet of 192.27.5.0/24. Router Configuration: Set up a router (newrouter) with an external network (EXNET) and unchecked SNAT. Added the NET interface to the router. OVN Database Configuration: Configured the OVN Northbound DB (detailed in the attachment). VM Creation: Deployed a VM in NET with the VM's IP 121.168.0.202 PFA for the agent configuration and FRR configuration done once agent VM has been created. Despite following the steps above, the VM IP is not visible in FRR, PFA for the result. Consequently, we are unable to advertise its route via BGP-EVPN. We kindly request your guidance to identify any potential misconfigurations or missing steps. Thank you for your time and support.

[kolla-ansible] Multipath unsuccesfull in nova
by Kamil Madac 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

Hello, I have a openstack deployed with kolla-ansible 2024.2. I'm trying to configure cinder and nova to use multipath when attaching volumes from the Hitachi SAN array. Without multipathing everything works good. When I enabled multipath in kolla-ansible (enable_multipathd: "yes"), deployment is without errors, volume can be created, but attachment of volume ends up with error in nova_compute container: ... 2025-01-22 12:16:02.962 2 ERROR nova.virt.block_device [instance: 714bd6f8-49e5-406f-b608-b7aaded2e728] raise exc_type(*result[2]) 2025-01-22 12:16:02.962 2 ERROR nova.virt.block_device [instance: 714bd6f8-49e5-406f-b608-b7aaded2e728] oslo_concurrency.processutils.ProcessExecutionError: Unexpected error while running command. 2025-01-22 12:16:02.962 2 ERROR nova.virt.block_device [instance: 714bd6f8-49e5-406f-b608-b7aaded2e728] Command: multipath -C dm-0 2025-01-22 12:16:02.962 2 ERROR nova.virt.block_device [instance: 714bd6f8-49e5-406f-b608-b7aaded2e728] Exit code: 1 2025-01-22 12:16:02.962 2 ERROR nova.virt.block_device [instance: 714bd6f8-49e5-406f-b608-b7aaded2e728] Stdout: '' 2025-01-22 12:16:02.962 2 ERROR nova.virt.block_device [instance: 714bd6f8-49e5-406f-b608-b7aaded2e728] Stderr: '3601817.750747 | /etc/multipath.conf does not exist, blacklisting all devices.\n3601817.750753 | You can run "/sbin/mpathconf --enable" to create\n3601817.750754 | /etc/multipath.conf.

I do not want to build special image only because of that single config file. My question is, how to make kolla-ansible to copy/add /etc/multipath.conf file into nova_compute service? Is there any mechanism for that? Thanks. Kamil Madac

[nova][neutron][ops] disabling the heal instance info cache periodic
by Sean Mooney 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

hi folks o/ This is a short PSA and request for comments The nova and neutron teams have discussed the existence and importantly the default behavior of nova's "heal instance info cache periodic" on an off for the better part of the last 4+ years but we never had time to take any action on it until now. Context for those who are not aware of it, nova has an instance info cache which we use to cache networking information such as ip address related to ports associated with an instance. This was introduced in the Essex release when nova networks was being replaced with quantum/neutron. Its rater fitting but over due that in the Epoxy release we are now turning this off. for more context i have captured some of the important point in the release note of the proposed change https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/939476/2/releasenotes/notes/d… But ill provide a TL;DR here. By default, as of essex, [compute]heal_instance_info_cache_interval defaulted to 60. it has been possible to disable this by setting the value to <=0 (recommended to use -1 by convention). when the periodic is enabled, every nova compute agent loop over the instance on the current host, retrieves all there ports form neutron and fully rebuilds the cache(as of stein). on a small cloud (less then 50 computes) this has minimal impact on the performance of the neutron server, on moderate to large clouds this creates 10s of MB of constant db read load. This has several side-effects: - first it creates unnecessary load on the neutron api and neutron db/network backend in creasing latency and reducing overall performance. - second, it create unnecessary load on rabbitmq as each compute service need to do an RPC to update the info cache(every 60 seconds). - third both of the first two waste power doing extra work that is not needed. - finally as of Icehouse this periodic has been optional because we added the os-server-external-events api so that neutron can tell nova if there has been a change to refresh the cache as needed. With that in mind hte nova team is proposing that we disable this going forward, for this release i have not deprecated the periodic so operators can re-enable it if they find its required for any reason. in the 2026.1 release we will likely revisit this based on operator feedback/bug reports. In this weeks team meeting we agree to wait 2 more weeks to get feedback from OPS if they had any concerns with this change hence this email. If anyone knows of a reason why we should not proceed with this default change feel free to let us know via this email thread or the gerrit review https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/939476 regards sean

[Neutron][operators] LinuxBridge to OVN Outreach
by Daniel Failing 24 Jan '25

24 Jan '25

Dear operators of Neutron deployments using LinuxBridge, This mail is to target operators who plan to move away from neutron LinuxBridge as well. In our setup we are currently planing to move away from LinuxBridge and use OVN instead. Based on the last PTGs survey with quite a few deployments using LinuxBridge and it being marked experimental for some time, we feel there could be a common ground and pain points. We were wondering how many other operators have the same problems and want to share knowledge and if necessary consolidate code written for a potential migration. Knowing there are quite some different deployments, we most likely will not be able to find the golden solution that works for everyone, but we could strive for not making the same mistakes multiple times in different deployments. We are located in European timezones, if there are others interested in a zoom/jitsi call, please let me know your timezones/time preferences, so we find a good slot. Otherwise I can propose one of the following dates already: Friday, Jan 24st 2 or 3pm UTC Tuesday, Jan 28st 10am UTC Tuesday, Jan 28st 3:30pm UTC Wednesday, Jan 29st 10am UTC Friday, Jan 31st 2 or 3pm UTC Best, Daniel CERN Cloud Infrastructure [1] original thread: https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack…

[openstack-ansible]:Wallaby to Xena Upgrade
by Rambo Rambo 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

Hi Team I am planning openstack-ansible wallaby to Xena upgrade. Distribution: openstack-ansible Release: Wallaby (current) ==> Xena (Planned) I was checking the release notes of Xena and could see that there is introduction of SSL in several services with nova for live migrations one of them. https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/openstack-ansible/xena.html As per the release notes: - Nova now defaults to to using the “QEMU-native TLS” feature for live migrations, rather than the deprecated SSH method. A pre-existing PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) setup is required. QEMU-native TLS requires all compute hosts to accept TCP connections on port 16514 and port range 49152 to 49261. More information can be found here: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/secure-live-migration-with-qem… Can you please confirm what steps are required to setup this PKI before doing the upgrade or it will be taken care by internal-pki using openstack-ansible upgrade method? Is there any option to skip this QEMU-native TLS for live-migrations and keep the orginal ssh based live-migrations? Regards

[all][oslo] revisiting the proposal to deprecate eventlet from oslo.service
by Mike Bayer 23 Jan '25

23 Jan '25

Hi - We've come to an impasse regarding our efforts to create a new backend selection system for oslo.service which will allow applications based on eventlet to have an incremental migration path where they can select for threads instead of eventlet [1] [2]. Briefly, the change organizes oslo.service into two different "backends", known as "eventlet" and "threaded". A calling application may choose to use either backend exclusively. Applications that use oslo.service right now are essentially using the "eventlet" backend. As these applications seek to migrate away from eventlet, they'd select the "threaded" backend and tune their applications to work under this new mode, where eventually the "eventlet" backend would be removed from oslo.service and ultimately from all of openstack entirely. All of that falls under things that have been agreed upon. The current impasse is among three options of how this "backend" system in oslo.service may be informed of which backend should be used: 1. being selected at runtime via CONF from the .cfg file , which is what was originally agreed upon 2. at start up time via environment variable 3. as a fixed setting in source code. Personally, as someone who has worked for decades on multiple switchable backend-oriented systems, I'm fully in the camp of choice 3, which is that switching the backend is just the beginning of a whole series of changes and tuning that a codebase would need in order to accommodate this backend change, and having the ability to "switch the backend back to eventlet" in CONF or runtime is simply not something anyone would want to do, unless a considerable amount of additional effort were made to support the codebase being reliable under both idioms. Which I would argue is a waste of effort since eventlet is going away. More concretely, if you took nova, which were using oslo.service with eventlet and decided to try the "threaded" backend, that's naturally going to have a lot of implications for other parts of the code. For example, if your code is setting eventlet monkey patching, that has to be turned off when this backend selection is made. If your code has other explicit use of eventlet, this also needs to be changed. Finally, threaded concurrency is naturally going to "feel" different than coroutine-based concurrency - context switches happen at different places and with different frequencies. Typically in a large codebase, the places that are prone to race conditions can shift; areas that had no races under coroutines now have threaded concurrency problems, areas that were sensitive to coroutine issues like being CPU bound are suddenly smooth with threading. The overall number of "working routines" can change, whereas eventlet can spin up 1000 coroutines like popcorn, under threads we now have to work with pools of threads typically a few dozen or so threads large. Overall, if I had my whole application passing under tempest under "threading", I would have had to make changes to get there, which may very well be mutually exclusive vs. test resiliency under eventlet. More generally, getting my application to run under threads represents a change in implementation that I expect to be permanent. If there are continued issues running under threaded mode, those are bugs that have to be fixed in any case. In the discussion at [1], Takashi Kajinami writes that a PTG discussion (for which I dont have any link or background) explicitly decided against the above idea: > In the initial design we considered that developer may make the decision to migrate from eventlet to the new mechanism, and didn't intend to provide any options to switch back to the original eventlet model. > However there was some strong push back during the previous PTG and people were concerned with having no mechanism to switch back to "previously worked well" eventlet model and to address the concern we agreed to introduce the option for operators to switch the backend. > If we don't allow users to configure the option then IMO we should not expose the option and we should use an internal flag instead (though that's basically what was disagreed with during the PTG, AFAIR) So first off, we have already realized that going with option 1. , use CONF, is not tenable, because the CONF collection is not typically in its final populated state when imports occur, and since the "backends" are an import time selection, there's a chicken/egg problem that cannot be resolved unless applications either highly modify the way in which their applications consume CONF vs. do their basic imports, or the way we are writing our backends in [1] needs to be modified so that imports can proceed using proxy objects which then change their loaded implementation when CONF is set up. Both of these options seem deeply complex and overarchitected in order to support the feature of "I want to change the backend in CONF" which I maintain is not going to be a real world use case. As a compromise, I suggested option 2. using an environment variable. This allows the backend selection to remain something that can be theoretically changed from the outside without modifying source code. However, current deployment practices suggest this is not really useful, as again per Takashi the way in which we deploy mod_wsgi does not allow environment variables to be local per virtual host; per [3] it looks like you need a hardcoded python script anyway that sets the env the way you want which makes it not too useful. As we were proceeding on option 2. we received some more pushback on the "env" idea from Arnaud Morin which I don't disagree with, and still more pushback and arguments leading in favor of 3, here from Jay Faulkner: > Using environment variables to set backends means that operators can change what backend is used. This is an easy thing for them to screw up and will end up creating a large amount of operator pain and bug churn. I am -1 in the strongest terms to the use of operator-adjustable values to enable/disable backends. The above was surprising considering that this was supposed to be a decision that had already been made at PTG, yet there still seems to be disagreement as though the decision were not actually made in any final way. So as I am tasked along with Daniel Bengtsson and Herve Beraud with getting [1] merged and moving onto building out the threaded backend, I would like to ask the group here to give me some background on the concerns raised at PTG and if we can all just here revisit the whole issue and hopefully decide that at least to start, let's get this merged without any CONF/env variable process (option 3); an application that's gone through the effort to transition to threads with the help of this backend selector should be assumed to be moving forward with that implementation, and if it has problems, that's just an ordinary bug like any other. thanks for reading!

[security-sig][ops][neutron] OVN Security issue can impact OpenStack users
by Jay Faulkner 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Hi all, A recent security issue with OVN recently came to light and was fixed in a recent release. Full details are here: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/01/22/5 . OpenStack deployers running OVN are strongly recommended to upgrade to the new fixed version. No CVE number has been issued yet for this resolved vulnerability. As a note, this was originally reported to the VMT as a neutron bug, but after triage it was responsibly reported to OVN and has been held under embargo. Thank you to the folks who participated in this triage process, including the OVN community for fixing the issue. Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ossa/+bug/2088280 for full details on OpenStack handling of this security report. Thanks, Jay Faulkner OpenStack VMT

[openstack-ansible]: GPU passthrough
by Rambo Rambo 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Hi Experts Release: Wallaby Distribution: Openstack-ansible I am working on enabling GPU computes through PCIpassthrough: I managed to test the GPU PCI passthrough with the direct configuration below. *GPU compute:* /etc/nova/nova.conf [pci] device_spec = { "vendor_id": "10de", "product_id": "25b6" } passthrough_whitelist = { "vendor_id": "10de", "product_id": "25b6" } alias = { "vendor_id": "10de", "product_id": "25b6", "device_type": "type-PCI", "name": "nvidia" } *Nova API container:* /etc/nova/nova.conf enabled_filters = AvailabilityZoneFilter,ComputeFilter,AggregateNumInstancesFilter,AggregateIoOpsFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter,ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter,ServerGroupAffinityFilter,NUMATopologyFilter, *PciPassthroughFilter* [pci] alias = { "vendor_id": "10de", "product_id": "25b6", "device_type": "type-PF", "name": "nvidia" } Now I need to put the configuration through openstack-ansible. So I need support for the same. *compute:* I intend to use hostvar for the compute configuration: /etc/openstack_deploy/host_vars/compute-<>.yml Can someone please confirm the parameters I need to set in this file and how to implement it? device_spec = ? passthrough_whitelist = ? nova_pci_alias: - '{ "name": "nvidia", "product_id": "25b6", "vendor_id": "10de" }' =====> how can I add *device_type field* here as per the mail.yaml it only have name,product_id and vendor_id field? Run openstack-ansible os-nova-install.yml --tags nova-config --limit <compute name> *For nova_api configuration,* I intend to use below: Below parameter in the user_variable file nova_scheduler_default_filters: - AvailabilityZoneFilter - ComputeFilter - AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter - AggregateNumInstancesFilter - AggregateIoOpsFilter - ComputeCapabilitiesFilter - ImagePropertiesFilter - ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter - ServerGroupAffinityFilter - NUMATopologyFilter - PciPassthroughFilter nova_pci_alias: - '{ "name": "nvidia", "product_id": "25b6", "vendor_id": "10de" }' =====> how can I add *device_type field here* as per the mail.yaml it only have name,product_id and vendor_id field?

Hello, I’d like to propose Jakub Darmach (jakub(a)stackhpc.com) as a core reviewer. He has spent quite a good deal of time to get unmaintained branches CI in a green state. He has also contributed some Heat driver patches in the past and is actively reviewing patches (also going the extra mile of updating these patches to be mergable when the author is not available/responsive).

[nova] Seeking Advice on Adding Multiple CPU Models in One Aggregate for OpenStack
by mina.mohammadi367＠gmail.com 21 Jan '25

21 Jan '25

Hello friends, I am currently working on a deployment scenario in OpenStack where I need to group multiple CPU models within a single aggregate. I’m reaching out to the community to ask if anyone has experience with this type of setup or has any advice on best practices. I would greatly appreciate any input from the community regarding potential challenges or recommendations for managing multiple CPU models within a single aggregate. In particular, any advice on ensuring compatibility and optimizing instance scheduling based on traits would be extremely valuable. For reference, I am considering the solution outlined in the CPU Model Selection documentation: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/train/implemented/cp… Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Assistance with Configuring fdb_age_threshold in OVN with Kolla-Ansible
by Jan Wasilewski 21 Jan '25

21 Jan '25

Hi Stackers, Over the past few days, we encountered an issue during the migration of VMs from a customer environment to our OpenStack cloud. Both environments were connected via a cross-connect network (a VLAN-type network spanning the cloud and the customer environment), which resulted in duplicate MAC addresses in our OVN database. This occurred because the migrated VM retained the same MAC address as previously used in the customer's environment(so "ovn-sbctl list fdb" returned a port which was no-longer used and leads to such duplication) . To address the issue, we used the following command to clear the FDB database: ovn-sbctl --all destroy fdb While researching further, we came across the `fdb_age_threshold` configuration [1], which seemed to be a useful feature to prevent similar issues in the future. We attempted to implement it in our Kolla-Ansible environment by adding the following configuration to ` */etc/kolla/config/neutron/ml2_conf.ini*`: [ovn] fdb_age_threshold = 920 After deploying the changes, however, we noticed that the setting did not take effect in OVN. The configuration only applied successfully after we executed a manual script to propagate the setting directly to OVN [2]. Anyway such change is applicable only for exsisting networks, so it is far from perfect solution. Could you provide guidance on whether this behavior is due to incorrect documentation, an error in our configuration process, or an additional requirement needed to enable this feature? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your support! /Jan Wasilewski **References:** [1] https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/configuration/ml2-conf.html#ovn.f… [2] https://paste.openstack.org/show/b9xUcnG6GXmCdSbSReG0/

[openstack-ansible] issue
by Danish Khan 21 Jan '25

21 Jan '25

Dear All, Whenever I do any activity like Operating system upgrade of compute nodes or openstack major version update then the name of compute host gets updated. I have my compute node with name compute1,2,3.... but after the activity they sometimes become compute1.openstack.local or compute2.mgmt.local. Due to this I get duplicate resource providers. But only the latest provider works properly. and I had manually unset all the vm from old provider and added then into new provider. Is there a way I can avoid this? means I don't want my compute nodes to get renamed with domain. And is there a way I can unset a vm from all provider and heal them automatically instead adding them into new resource proivder? I tried below docs but the healing part is not working so I go with manual process for all vm which is too time consuming. https://docs.openstack.org/nova/yoga/admin/troubleshooting/orphaned-allocat… Regards, Danish Khan

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.1/R-10)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 21 Jan '25

21 Jan '25

Hello Stackers, We're 10 weeks away from the 2025.1 coordinated "Epoxy" release [1]. Starting this week, there are several deadlines that project teams have adopted to ensure that code, specifications, and documentation changes are adequately peer-reviewed. As Slawek Kaplonski (slaweq) shared to this mailing list [2], the nomination period for the upcoming Technical Committee and Project Team Leads elections will begin on 2025-02-05 and remain open until 2025-02-19. Early nominations are highly encouraged in case you'll be unavailable during this period. In the last week, the OpenStack Technical Committee selected a community goal to migrate away from the eventlet library across its codebase [3]. As with many community goals, this will be a multi-release goal and needs contributors. Please join the #openstack-eventlet-removal IRC channel on OFTC to participate in the discussion. === Weekly Meeting === Dmitriy Rabotyagov (noonedeadpunk) chaired the TC's weekly IRC meeting on 2025-01-14 [4]. We discussed the maintenance of the "openstackdocstheme" Sphinx plugin and called out some early attempts to switch documentation to a stock theme that's more maintainable and sustainable. We also reviewed a proposal from Freezer project maintainers to remove the project team from the "inactive" teams list [5]. The TC also considered requesting an exception for Freezer to release within 2025.1. In this vein, we also highlighted the need for consistent criteria to move projects out of inactive status and better tooling for indicating project health and activity. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is today, 2025-01-21. This meeting will be hosted via IRC on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel. Please find the meeting agenda on the wiki [6]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - Propose to select the eventlet-removal community goal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934936 - Rework the eventlet-removal goal proposal | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/931254 - Add ansible-role-httpd repo to OSA-owned projects | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/935694 ==== Open for Review ==== - Resolve to adhere to non-biased language | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/934907 - Retire Freezer DR | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938183 - Retire qdrouterd role | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938193 - Remove Freezer from inactive state | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/938938 - Reset the DPL model for oslo project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939485 - Reset the DPL model for Release project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939486 - Reset the DPL model for Requirement project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939487 - Reset the DPL model for Watcher project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939488 - Define 2025 upstream investment opportunities | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/939507 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-01-28: OpenInfra Board Monthly Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-02-01: FOSDEM 2025 (https://fosdem.org/2025/) OpenStack's 15th Birthday Celebration - 2025-02-05: Nominations open for 2025.2 TC/PTL Elections: https://governance.openstack.org/election/ - 2025-02-28: 2025.1 ("Epoxy") Feature Freeze and release milestone 3 [1] - 2025-03-06: SCALE 2025 + OpenInfra Days NA (https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/22x) Thank you very much for reading!

How to know the openstack client's default microversion?
by berndbausch＠gmail.com 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Without the version option e.g. --os-compute-api-version, the openstack client submits API requests with certain default microversions. The precise microversions vary with the openstack client's version and the specific task. For example, the --debug option reveals that openstack client 7.1.3 uses Nova microversion 2.89 when attaching a volume to an instance. Is there a simpler way than --debug to find out which microversions the client uses? Is there a command, or perhaps a website where this is documented? Thanks for your ideas! Bernd.

Hi Team I have recently done Victoria to Wallaby upgrade on my openstack-ansible installation. After the upgrade we observe that /var/log/libvirt/ size on all the computes was growing due to libvirtd.log file. Further checking this file it can be seen that there are debug logs. 2025-01-19 11:15:20.817+0000: 2943565: *debug *: virNetlinkEventCallback:862 : dispatching to max 0 clients, called from event watch 7 2025-01-19 11:15:20.817+0000: 2943565:* debug* : virNetlinkEventCallback:876 : event not handled. 2025-01-19 11:15:20.821+0000: 2943605: *debug :* udevHandleOneDevice:1492 : udev action: 'add' ... libvirtd configuration file on compute shows log_level=1 cat libvirtd.conf # Ansible managed # enabling debug mode according to http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/DebugLogs log_level = 1 log_filters="3:remote 4:event 3:json 3:rpc" log_outputs="1:file:/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log" listen_tls = 0 listen_tcp = 0 unix_sock_group = "libvirt" unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777" unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770" auth_unix_ro = "none" auth_unix_rw = "none" auth_tcp = "sasl" No related parameter was changed/updated in user_variable file during the upgrade? Any information what could have enabled the debug logs for libvirtd on all the computes? Also how can I turn-off this using the openstack-ansible and what could be impact during the procedure?

[glance][ops] proposal to remove the glance-scrubber
by Brian Rosmaita 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Hello Glance users, The Glance project team wants to determine whether anyone is using the glance-scrubber utility [0]. If not, we are thinking of deprecating it this cycle to be removed in the appropriate future cycle. If you have not previously heard of the glance-scrubber, that's most likely because it's only useful for particular deployment configurations of which yours is not one. See the doc [0] for details if you are curious. Our suspicion is that the glance-scrubber may have outlived its usefulness for modern OpenStack configurations. (The last time I remember it being discussed at a PTG was during the snowstorm in Dublin, which I believe was the Rocky development cycle). On the other hand, the team also has some ideas for improving the scrubber, but there's no point doing that if it's not actually being used in the first place. So if removal of the glance-scrubber would negatively affect you, please respond to this email so we can get some data points. Thanks!

[magnum] GPU support with magnum
by Satish Patel 19 Jan '25

19 Jan '25

Folks, We are running magnum with openstack to spin up k8s clusters and everything works as expected. Now I want GPU support so we can do some AI/ML stuff with k8s. Does magnum support GPU and how does it work? In the past I used GPU in passthrough mode to expose hardware to VMs but not sure how it works for k8s and what are the challenges?

[neutron][upgrades] Linuxbridge driver removal and migration
by Brian Haley 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Hi Stackers, In 2022, during the Zed cycle, the Neutron team took a step at marking some items as experimental. One of those was the Linuxbridge driver. The reason was due to it being unmaintained for a number of cycles, and no one was able to take on its ownership. The implication of this decision was that it was consider deprecated, even if not given an official warning message. In doing this, all gate jobs were moved into the experimental queue, feature-parity with other drivers was deemed unnecessary, and bug fixing was considered best-effort. Since then, both major distros have stopped supporting new deployments using Linuxbridge, and have been mainly focused on OVN. So what does this mean? We (the neutron cores) have come to the conclusion that it is time to take the next step and remove the code from the tree [1]. After 5 cycles of being considered experimental without any investment it just makes sense. We plan on doing this in the current Epoxy cycle. We realize that there are still deployments using Linuxbridge, and hopefully they have been looking at migration strategies since we originally marked the code experimental. This email is another push to the user community to start looking at this, especially if you are planning any new deployments. There has been at least one migration guide written at [2] (thanks Jim!), and at this point I would encourage those still using Linuxbridge to look at it and start asking any questions they have so we have the chance to make it better and can make that process easier. Thanks for reading, -Brian, Neutron PTL [0] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/845181 [1] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/927216 [2] https://www.jimmdenton.com/migrating-lxb-to-ovn/

[neutron] Using address scopes in a DVR environment breaks floating IPs
by Lukas Steiner 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Hi all, I hope to get some advice here if we’re doing something wrong or ran into a bug. We have an OpenStack environment (wallaby) with Distributed Virtual Router (DVR) enabled (compute nodes use DVR_NO_EXTERNAL agent mode, network nodes use DVR_SNAT) and we would like to onboard our provider network to a subnet pool part of an address scope to allow routed self-service networks. But as soon as the provider network is part of an address scope, the floating IP feature stops working. After debugging we found that adding the network to an address scope results in an additional set of firewall rules in the router and snat network namespaces which blocks cross-scope traffic. But floating IPs should be the exception to that and there are indeed rules that explicitly allow them by setting a mark in the iptables mangle table: -A neutron-l3-agent-floatingip -d <floating-ip>/32 -i qg-<random-id> -j MARK --set-xmark 0x4000000/0xffff0000 We can find these rules in the qrouter namespaces, but they’re missing in the snat namespaces. If we add the rule manually to the snat namespace, the floating IP is working again. If we switch the compute nodes to DVR agent mode, it also works, as the snat namespace is not used. I have already searched for bugs and changes in the DVR router code since wallaby but can’t find anything which is not already patched in wallaby. So, I’m wondering if we have an unsupported setup with combining dynamic routing with DVR and centralized network nodes or facing a long running neutron bug. Maybe someone has a similar setup or can confirm that this use case should be supported? Regards, Lukas

Adding a compute node using Openstack ansible
by Derek O keeffe 16 Jan '25

16 Jan '25

Hi all, I have something weird happening when trying to add a compute node to a working cluster. I added "compute3" to my openstack_user_config.yml compute_hosts stanza and ran the setup_hosts playbook. This created (re-created) the openstack_inventory.json file which I have reviewed thoroughly and I can see compute3 added everywhere compute1 and compute2 had been added from the deploy. When I run the second playbook setup_infrastructure, all the plays skip saying "no hosts matched" but the tasks all touch compute3.... I ran /opt/openstack-ansible/scripts/inventory-manage.py -G and I can see my compute3 listed in the output. The commands I run for the playbooks are as follows: openstack-ansible setup-hosts.yml --limit ,compute3openstack-ansible setup-infrastructure.yml --limit ,compute3openstack-ansible setup-openstack.yml --limit ,compute3 I've been trying to solve this since before Christmas with no luck, could anyone please shed some light on what the issue could be? Output of first playbook: https://paste.openstack.org/show/blArG04q6wgUCJy9JPh3/Output of second playbook: Paste #bSiabwqOk7qdns2iBYDA | LodgeIt! | | | | Paste #bSiabwqOk7qdns2iBYDA | LodgeIt! | | | Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

[kolla-ansible][keystone]problem using LDAP and TLS
by Franck VEDEL 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hello, with all previous versions, to authenticate users from an Active Directory domain, using an LDAP connector worked without any problem on my labs, with or without using TLS. With TLS the file used is the following: /etc/kolla/config/keystone/domains/keystone.DOM1.conf [identity] driver = ldap [ldap] url = ldap://172.16.60.41 user = CN=ldapconnect,OU=openstack,DC=dom1,DC=loc password = XXXXXXXXXX suffix = DC=dom1,DC=loc user_tree_dn = OU=openstack,DC=dom1,DC=loc user_objectclass = person user_filter = (|(memberOf=CN=openstack-users,OU=openstack,DC=dom1,DC=loc)(memberOf=CN=openstack-admins,OU=openstack,DC=dom1,DC=loc)) user_id_attribute = sAMAccountName user_name_attribute = sAMAccountName user_mail_attribute = mail user_pass_attribute = user_enabled_attribute = userAccountControl user_enabled_mask = 2 user_enabled_default = 512 user_attribute_ignore = password,tenant_id,tenants group_objectclass = group group_tree_dn = OU=openstack,DC=dom1,DC=loc group_filter = (|(CN=openstack-users)(CN=openstack-admins)) group_id_attribute = cn group_name_attribute = name query_scope = sub chase_referrals = false use_tls = True tls_certificate = /etc/kolla/certificates/adserv.crt tls_req_cert = never I want to see if it works with Dalmatian (to update my lab, which I can't do with the Bobcat and Caracal versions because bugs block me). Without TLS (use_tls = False) , no problem, it works, my AD users can use Horizon and have access to their project. If I put "use_tls = True" and tls_certificate = /etc/kolla/certificates/adserv.crt .... It doesn't work with Dalmatian, certificate problem. Indeed, the certificate is not copied into the keystone container, so it can't use it. In the keystone logs (/var/kolla/keystone/keystone.log) there is an error message: 2025-01-15 08:36:04.477 1084 ERROR keystone.server.flask.request_processing.middleware.auth_context OSError: tls_cacertfile /etc/kolla/certificates/adserv.crt not found or is not a file However, my adserv.crt file has not changed, is valid, and is in /etc/kolla/certificates directory. What could have changed with the Dalmatian version? I tried to change parameters, but I can't find the solution. How should I proceed to make it work with TLS. I specify again that it works without TLS so the problem is really to use this certificate correctly, so to put it in the right place with the right parameter: tls_certificate or a new one? My lab use ubuntu 2204. Thanks a lot for your help Franck VEDEL

[dev] Invitation to participate in a survey on flaky tests spanning multiple OpenStack projects
by xiao＠ait.kyushu-u.ac.jp 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hello there, My name is Tao Xiao, Assistant Professor at Kyushu University (Japan), and togather with a team from Canada and China. Our research specifically investigates cross-project flakiness by analyzing information available on the Gerrit Code Review platform. Through our study, we have observed a significant number of flaky tests spanning multiple OpenStack projects and categorized several potential causes behind this phenomenon. Our next step is to validate our empirical findings and gather real developers' perceptions to improve the OpenStack ecosystem through a developer survey. If you have at most 10 minutes, we have designed a simple survey to capture your perceptions. The survey link is here: https://forms.gle/dUMWRL8MNALQE6kG8 This questionnaire is totally anonymized, and the survey was approved by the Kyushu University, Japan ethics board (2024-26). Again, thank you so much for your time, and please feel free to contact us for more information.

[ironic] Ironic-Lib being deprecated
by Jay Faulkner 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hi all, As many of you know, at the recent PTG the Ironic community made a decision to move any functionality out of ironic-lib into ironic / ironic-python-agent. This library has been documented, since it's inception, as for use by Ironic projects only, so there should be little to no impact to deployers other than having one less python package to deploy in their IPA ramdisks and Ironic services. We will keep the repository's stable (and unmaintained) branches open for as long as their Ironic/IPA counterparts are also supported in order to fulfill our support obligation. Remaining patches to complete this deprecation are here: https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22ironic-lib-deprecation%22 -- please reach out if there are any questions or concerns. I thought it wise to inform the mailing list of this change. We'll ensure it's highlighted in Ironic cycle highlights for epoxy as well. Thanks, Jay Faulkner

[release] [upgrades] Seeking OpenStack Upgrade Success Stories
by Allison Price 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

Hi everyone, Ahead of the OpenStack 2025.1 ‘Epoxy’ release, the OpenInfra Foundation marketing team wants to work with the OpenStack community to highlight how upgrades have become simplified with the implementation of SLURP. This will include leveraging the governance docs to draft articles around the upstream progress as well as operator success stories for organizations who have upgraded their own deployments or customer deployments to a SLURP release. The goal is to further increase awareness on the improvements made to the upgrade process and reduce common perceptions that OpenStack upgrades remain complex. Here [1] is an etherpad where we are collecting names of volunteers who can either review materials promoting the upstream progress or share operator success stories. If you have any questions, please let me know. [1] https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/OpenStackUpgrades Cheers, Allison Allison Price VP of Marketing & Community p: +1-214-686-6821

[kolla] [wallaby] [openvswitch]
by Albert Braden 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

One of our busiest clusters was rebuilt on Wallaby a few months ago (kolla-ansible) and deletions are taking a long time for VMs on some hypervisors. When I look at the ovs-vswitchd.log on the slow hypervisors I see lots of errors that apparently refer to a missing VM interface: 2024-12-27T19:06:10.482Z|01793|bridge|WARN|could not open network device qvo0430a2f7-cd (No such device) For most network devices I see "added" and "deleted" lines in the log. This one has an "added" line but no "deleted". I tried restarting the neutron_openvswitch_agent and openvswitch_vswitchd containers but that didn't make a difference. How can I get OVS to stop choking on this missing interface?

[ironic][networking] Baremetal Networking Working Group resuming 2/15
by Julia Kreger 14 Jan '25

14 Jan '25

Greetings everyone, Now that we are in the new year and a number of ironic contributors are back from PTO, we're going to resume the networking meetings. One aspect which we discussed in December was to focus the discussion. To that end, after some follow-up discussion, we're going to try and focus the meeting a bit more using the agenda. We have an agenda posted to the etherpad[0], along with a meeting link. If you have additional topics, please feel free to add to that agenda, but also be mindful between the use cases of standalone usage and openstack integrated usage and explicitly call out the use case. As a reminder, the meeting will be at 1500 UTC. Meeting link in the etherpad! Thanks! -Julia [0]: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ironic-networking
