[Octavia][Load Balancer][2023.1] Amphora Fails Health Check – “No Route to Host” & Timeout Errors
by Thamanna Farhath 02 Dec '25

02 Dec '25

Hi OpenStack Community, I am currently facing an issue with the Load Balancer (Octavia) service in my OpenStack deployment and would appreciate your guidance or suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve it. Environment Details: OpenStack Version: 2023.1 (Antelope) Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04 Octavia Backend: Amphora Network Type: VXLAN Deployment Tool: Kolla Ansible Issue Summary: After creating a Load Balancer, the Amphora instance is successfully launched. However, approximately 18 minutes later, the Load Balancer transitions to an ERROR state. Error Observed: octavia.common.exceptions.ComputeWaitTimeoutException: Waiting for compute id a222527f-8336-4fb1-8e9e-0e3ac6e8d580 to go active timeout. octavia.amphorae.driver_exceptions.exceptions.AmpConnectionRetry: Could not connect to amphora, exception caught: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='192.168.200.247', port=9443): Max retries exceeded with url: // (Caused by NewConnectionError: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 113] No route to host) What I’ve Tried: Created a VXLAN-based internal network: openstack subnet create --network octavia-mgmt-net --subnet-range 192.168.200.0/24 octavia-mgmt-subnet openstack router create octavia-router openstack router add subnet octavia-router octavia-mgmt-subnet openstack router set octavia-router --external-gateway <public-network-id> Manually configured OVS interface: ovs-vsctl add-port br-int octavia-mgmt -- set interface octavia-mgmt type=internal ip addr add 192.168.200.1/24 dev octavia-mgmt ip link set octavia-mgmt up Security groups are open (allowing all ingress and egress). Verified OVS bridge setup – interface appears correctly on br-int. Behavior Noticed: Amphora instance gets created but fails to communicate with the controller after a while,so health checks fails. The controller cannot reach the Amphora management IP (192.168.200.x). Logs show heartbeat/connection issues (No route to host, timeouts). Request for Help: I would appreciate any of the following: Suggestions to verify if the management network is properly routed from controller to Amphora. Best practices for setting up the Octavia management network using VXLAN. Troubleshooting steps for verifying health manager connectivity to Amphora.

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2026.1/R-17)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 02 Dec '25

02 Dec '25

Hello Stackers, We're seventeen weeks away from the date of the coordinated release of OpenStack 2026.1 "Gazpacho" [1]. On Thursday this week, we'll be wrapping up releases for "trailing" deliverables concerning the OpenStack 2025.2 "Flamingo" release. In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee merged a couple of resolutions [2]. The first of these concerned Special Interest Groups in OpenStack [3]. You're probably aware that we began auditing and cleaning up stale information with respect to SIGs. We captured that work in a resolution to formalize the governance update, as governance of the SIGs has evolved over the past few years and some things needed clarification. The second resolution was about the retroactive steps we've taken to advertise the continued maintenance of os-net-config outside of the OpenStack community. We're glad to see the current maintainers taking the steps highlighted in the resolution, and would like to use these artifacts to inform users of the current state of the project. Finally, we made major progress on the retirement of the Monasca project. All deliverables for the project were marked retired in the past week, and we'll proceed with cleaning up references in our documentation and elsewhere. The TC would welcome the development and maintenance of the Monasca project outside of OpenStack, since we discovered users and their use cases while we were mulling this retirement. Eventually, the decision stemmed from the lack of interest to meet the standards of maintenance and release delivery within the OpenStack community. We are looking for volunteers to serve as election officials [4] for the TC and PTL elections that will be held in the next year. If you're interested in serving, please let me know, or chime in on OFTC's #openstack-election channel. The TC and the community would be grateful for your service! === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack TC was held on November 25th, 2025 in OFTC's #openstack-tc IRC channel [5]. We discussed the resolution on the os-net-config handover, and no objections were raised against completing the process. We also addressed the concerns regarding our current FIPS compliance goal. Our plan is to return the goal to a "proposed" state while the team redefines testing requirements and identifies resources to commit to the goal. We also discussed the changes needed in our documentation to preserve PTL appointment history even as projects transition between governance models. We noted that the Monasca cleanup was nearing completion with adjustments made to validation scripts to ignore legacy license files. Work continues on removing passlib from global requirements in tangential support of the Post-Quantum Cryptography initiative [6]. We addressed an impasse regarding tracking metrics (using Google Analytics) in OpenStack Manuals [7], deciding to merge pending changes now and treat the removal of tracking code as a separate, subsequent task if necessary. Finally, we discussed the Python Project Testing Interface (PTI) in the context of pytest usage for Horizon plugins [8]. The consensus was that while consistency is important, pytest is acceptable if it supports key requirements like parallel execution and generating standard subunit output, and the PTI documentation may need updates to reflect valid use cases beyond stestr. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025 at 1700 UTC. This meeting will be hosted on the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the meeting's agenda on its wiki page [9]. I hope you'll be able to join us there. === Governance Proposals === ==== Merged ==== - [resolution] Retire governance-sigs repository | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/966645 - Retire Monasca project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/953671 - Ignore monasca repos for legacy validation | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/968268 ==== Open For Review ==== - Show SIG repositories on the SIGs page | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/967425 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-12-04: 2025.2 release deadline for "cycle-trailing" projects - 2025-12-09: OpenInfra Board meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2026-01-08: 2026.1 Milestone 2 Thank you very much for reading!

[ironic] iRMC hardware type deprecation in 2026.1
by Jacob Anders 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

Hi All, The iRMC hardware type (for Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers) has been deprecated in the 2026.1 cycle and is scheduled for removal from master in 2026.2. The driver will remain in stable and unmaintained branches to fulfill our support obligation. The iRMC driver has been unmaintained for an extended period. Third Party CI stopped working in 2019 and our attempts to contact the provider and have it resume have been unsuccessful. Without CI coverage we can't be confident the driver works with current Ironic releases. This deprecation affects the iRMC hardware type and all its interfaces (bios, boot, inspect, management, power, raid, and vendor). If you're currently using iRMC in your deployment, now is the time to start planning migration to another hardware type. If the hardware supports it, using Redfish hardware type may be an option. Alternatively, the legacy IPMI driver may be of assistance, however may be limited to basic functionality. If you need help or have concerns about this change, please reach out. If your organization is interested in maintaining this driver going forward (including providing CI), we'd be happy to work with you. The deprecation commit with full details can be found here: https://opendev.org/openstack/ironic/commit/7d050f6ae227beb87bb810148a2a0ae… Best Regards, Jacob Anders on behalf of Ironic Community
