[horizon] Heat template generator not working on Chrome
by Jorge Merlino 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Hi folks, There is an issue with Horizon's heat template generator when using chrome or a chrome based browser. It can be easily reproduced by going to the Project / Orchestration / Template Generator menu. There are icons on the top of the screen that can be dragged into the canvas below. That works fine in Firefox but does not work in Chrome. When the icon is dragged over the canvas in Chrome it shows a little green plus sign next to it which does not appear in Firefox and dropping the icon does nothing. I could not see any errors show in the browser console or the debugger. Tested on horizon 22.1.1 (openstack Yoga) Thanks for your help Jorge

Running Yoga on an isolated system. Everything seemed to have installed properly with openstack-ansible, but I'm getting the error: cinder.volume.manager: RDB permission error (error creating image). I can't get any logs from the isolated systems. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Deploying a DC - DR solution
by KK CHN 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Folks , I am exploring the possibility of OpenStack to set up an On Prem DC and Near line DR using OpenStack . I have exposure to OpenStack from the Ussuri version onwards but am not a master of OpenStack. Objective is to achieve near zero data loss of the growing VMs at the DC replicated in real time to the Near Line DR. At times of a DC crash or for scheduled maintenance activity to ensure business continuity (RPO near zero and RTO 30 minutes - 1 Hour) to operate from the DR site. Heard about similar solutions exists for VMWare or any proprietary OEM like vSphere replication,vSAN and SRM to orchestrate failover and fallback with RPO near zero and RTO 30 minutes to 1 Hr. But not an option due to budget constraints at the moment. What ways do folks at OpenStack achieve this kind of requirement? The underlying tools and techniques I have chosen to deploy and the best possible design of DC and DR to achieve the objectives. Any hints and guidance to start, much appreciated. Thank you, Krishane

Hi everyone! As part of the celebrations for OpenStack's 15th birthday, we have created interactive birthday cards. We are inviting the community to celebrate with us by filling out the cards and sharing them on social media. There are options to both talk about your individual contributions as well as your organization’s deployment. We invite you to join in on the fun, fill out a card, and share it on social media with #WeAreOpenStack Feel free to download the files from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/176go2mSHZGyRAZJPBYcIlGHpmKIIRhUo?us… If you need some inspiration, check out Thierry Carrez’s post! https://fosstodon.org/@tcarrez/114386689095092405 Cheers to 15 years of OpenStack!

how to config DPDK on OVN ?
by alibasafa18＠gmail.com 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Hi....as far I understand ovs does support dpdk compute to be deployed. I'm referring to the guideline ' *https://docs.openstack.org/networking-ovn/queens/admin/dpdk.html <https://docs.openstack.org/networking-ovn/queens/admin/dpdk.html>* ' ... It's too brief.. May I know how to config dpdk compute in OVN networking openstack? Hope someone could help what is the config to be done.... Currently compute is run without dpdk over openstack train ovn based. Please need some info on how I can proceed. Thank you

Fwd: DPDK+OVS with OpenStack
by Mark Wittling 23 Apr '25

23 Apr '25

Looking for someone who knows OpenStack with OpenVSwitch, and in addition to that, DPDK with OpenStack and OVS.I am using OpenStack Queens, with OpenVSwitch. The architecture I am using is documented here: https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/queens/admin/deploy-ovs-provider.htmlThe OVS I am using on the Compute Node, is compiled with DPDK, and I have enabled the datapath to netdev (DPDK) on br-prv (provider network bridge), and br-tun (tunneling bridge). But these two bridges, br-tun and br-prv, are patched into another OpenStack bridge, called br-int. I wasn’t actually sure about whether to tinker with this bridge, and wondered what datapath it was using.Then, I realized there is a parameter in the openvswitch_agent.ini file, which I will list here: # OVS datapath to use. 'system' is the default value and corresponds to the # kernel datapath. To enable the userspace datapath set this value to 'netdev'. # (string value) # Possible values: # system - <No description provided> # netdev - <No description provided> #datapath_type = system datapath_type = netdev So in tinkering with this, what I realized, is that when you set this datapath_type to system or netdev, it will adjust the br-int bridge to that datapath type.So here is my question. How can I launch a non-DPDK VM, if all of the bridges are using the netdev datapath type?Here is another question. What if one of the flavors don’t have the largepages property set on them? I assumed OpenStack would revert to a system datapath and not use DPDK for those VM interfaces. Well, I found out in testing, that is not the case. If you set all your bridges up for netdev, and you don’t set the property on the Flavor of the VM (largepages), the VM will launch, but it simply won’t work.Is there no way, on a specific Compute Host, to support both DPDK (netdev datapaths) and non-DPDK (system datapaths)?Either on a VM interface level (VM has one interface that is netdev DPDK and another that is system datapath non-DPDK)?Or on a VM by VM basis (VM 1 has 1 or more netdev datapath interfaces and VM 2 has 1 or more system datapath interfaces)?Am I right here? Once you set up a Compute Host for DPDK, it’s DPDK or nothing on that Compute Host? (edited)
