OVN in latest OpenStack
by Jani Heikkinen 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

We have been installing openstack Dalmatian based on Debian packages on our institution. I am currently trying to configure OVN neutron metadata service, but it seems very hard to find how OVN actually currently does it. See [1.]. The documentation states first, that ovn-metadata-agent will run with a netns and haproxy instance on hypervisor. But there is also a reference to having metadata support in ovn-controller. In addition, I have seen hints suggesting that neutron-ovn-agent and neutron-ovn-metadata-agent would be exclusive to each other. What is the currently up-to-date way to configure OVN metadata agent? Especially, is there any up-to-date instructions how to properly configure neutron's related config files? We have following versions of ovn and ovs: openvswitch-common 3.1.0-2 (+deb12u1) ovn-common 23.03.1-1 (~deb12u2) ovn-host 23.03.1-1 (~deb12u2) neutron-ovn-metadata-agent 2:25.0.0 (-5~bpo12+1) neutron-ovn-agent 2:25.0.0 (-5~bpo12+1) Best Regards, Jani Heikkinen [1.] https://docs.openstack.org/networking-ovn/latest/contributor/design/metadat… -- Berner Fachhochschule / Bern University of Applied Sciences IT-Services / Team Linux & Infrastructure Services Jani Heikkinen IT Linux Engineer ___________________________________________________________ Dammweg 3, CH-3013 Bern Telefon direkt +41 31 848 68 14 Telefon Servicedesk +41 31 848 48 48 jani.heikkinen(a)bfh.ch

by Jiatong Shen 20 Feb '25

20 Feb '25

Hello Experts, During operating an old deployment, we found that instance_action as well as instance_action_event stores many records. The instance with actions are still in use. I would like to ask if there is any tool to clear instance action & events? Thank you very much for your help. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen

[all][elections][tc] 2025.2 cycle TC Election Campaigning Kickoff
by Ian Y. Choi 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

Developers, The TC Election Campaigning Period has now started [1]. Although there are no polls that need to be held [2], during the next couple days, you are all encouraged to ask the candidates questions about their platforms [3], opinions on OpenStack, community governance, and anything else that will help you to better determine how you will vote. This is the time to raise any issues you wish the future TC to consider, and to evaluate the opinions of the nominees prior to their election. TC Candidates, Each of you has posted a platform [3], and announced your nomination to the developers. From this point, you are encouraged to ask each other questions about the posted platforms, and begin discussion of any points that you feel are particularly important during the next cycle. While you are not yet TC members, your voices and opinions about the issues raised in your platforms and questions raised by the wider community will help ensure that the future TC has the widest possible input on the matters of community concern, and the electorate has the best information to determine the ideal TC composition to address these and other issues that may arise. Ian Y. Choi, on behalf of the election officials.

[horizon] Automatic refresh of page elements/content
by Barros Frossard, Davi 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

Hi everyone, I would like to query about implementing a feature: Automatic refresh of page elements/content on openstack dashboard (horizon). I'm a developer working on starlingx dashboard (gui) project, which is based on openstack dashboard. We noticed that all content on starlingx dashboard doesn't get updated if a change occurs. So, as a workaround, a full page reload is required. We have added a patch to customize horizon package and enable automatic refresh in some of the content. But this is not a definitive solution, since it doesn't solve auto refresh for all page elements/content: https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/upstream/+/941145 We also noticed errors on browser's console related to mutation events, although I'm not sure this is relevant for the discussion: https://bugs.launchpad.net/horizon/+bug/2098785 Do you have any plans to add such a feature? Or should we submit a blueprint? Thank you for your time. Regards, Davi Frossard

Hi all, does anyone know if NVMe over RDMA is supported to attach it with Cinder/Nova to a QemuKVM Hypervisor? In addition to our ceph, we would also like to connect a block storage and in order to be able to retrieve the full performance, this must be done with the above-mentioned connection.

Cinder volume service and high availability question
by Jim Kilborn 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to get cinder volume service to use a virtual name for the cinder volume host. We have three controllers that are setup with keepalived and haproxy with a virtualized servername that is used in the various openstack .conf files. This allows either server to shutdown and we can still access the web interface, create vms and volumes, etc. because the virtual hostname is used in all the configurations. However, for cinder volumes, it puts the hostname of the server in os-vol-host-attr:host rather than my virtual name. This causes issues if the controller that was used to create the volume is down, we can't easily manage the volume without modifying that field in the cinder database. If the virtual name could be used, either server could manage the volume with the backend, with no manual changes to the db. The only server related setting in my cinder.conf is my_ip, and that is the ip of the actual server, not the virtual ip Is active/active cluster not supported with cinder?
