[Cinder][Nova] - Volume retype fails with libvirt error about active block job
by Karl Kloppenborg 26 Jun '25

26 Jun '25

Hi Cinder + Nova Teams. Live migrating between two storage backends, most VM’s move successfully, but we’re seeing several VM’s fail the retype with the following error: https://gist.github.com/inventionlabsSydney/137121e8a4772ea3562776c10f43371a Libvirt logs show the following: 2025-06-26 06:55:48.906+0000: 2509009: error : qemuDomainBlockJobAbort:13723 : invalid argument: disk sda does not have an active block job 2025-06-26 06:57:08.879+0000: 2509006: error : qemuDomainBlockJobAbort:13723 : invalid argument: disk sda does not have an active block job 2025-06-26 06:57:09.053+0000: 2509009: error : qemuDomainBlockJobAbort:13723 : invalid argument: disk sda does not have an active block job 2025-06-26 23:24:19.954+0000: 2509008: error : qemuDomainBlockJobAbort:13723 : invalid argument: disk sda does not have an active block job 2025-06-26 23:24:20.130+0000: 2509009: error : qemuDomainBlockJobAbort:13723 : invalid argument: disk sda does not have an active block job Has anyone else encountered similar to this, we cannot seem to find any difference between VM’s that are working and VM’s that fail this retype.

[neutron] [openvswitch] Outage problem while upgrading openvswitch
by İzzettin Erdem 25 Jun '25

25 Jun '25

Hello, We have a kolla-ansible yoga environment with 9 controller nodes and more than 1000 compute nodes. When I upgrade neutron and openvswitch to a newer version (doesn't matter which, in my case Antelope) access to all virtual machines is lost, but if there are existing ping flows, new ones are not created. This continues until openvswitch deploy is completed, i.e. neutron_openvswitch restart. In some cases, the access outage can be prolonged. When I send an upgrade to neutron alone, I don't experience any outage. How can I prevent this, is there a way to send a hot-upgrade to neutron&openvswitch without any outage? Or is it normal to have an outage?

[neutron] Disable fullstack CI job
by Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez 25 Jun '25

25 Jun '25

Hello Neutrinos: As commented yesterday in the Neutron meeting [1], the "fullstack" CI is blocking the eventlet removal. This CI FW is also blocking the SDK migration [2]. The refactor of this CI is now not possible due to time constraints. Because of this, we are going to disable it and migrate the tests implemented to other FWs, if possible. The coverage of this CI is important but limited. The advantage of this FW is the possibility of, for example, restarting services or agents; this is something achieved by other FWs like "tobiko". Another advantage is the possibility of testing with different configurations, but that could also be achieved by using the same CI job with different static configurations; it is also possible to change the API configuration and restart it using "whitebox-neutron-tempest-plugin". I've created a bug to track these efforts [3]. In the next few hours I'll send a patch to remove the "fullstack" FW from our CI. Regards. [1] https://meetings.opendev.org/meetings/networking/2025/networking.2025-06-24… [2]https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/947851 [3]https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/2115327

[ironic]SSH login failure to baremetal instance deployed by ironic
by Junya Noguchi (Fujitsu) 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

To whom it may concern I failed to SSH into a baremetal instance deployed by Ironic. I deployed the baremetal instance using an OS image created for Ironic by Diskimage-builder. When I tried to SSH into the instance, the connection was refused due to a "Permission denied" error. [aaaaaaaa@localhost ~]$ ssh -i .ssh/key.pem cloud-user(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx cloud-user(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password: Permission denied, please try again. cloud-user(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password: Permission denied, please try again. cloud-user(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password: cloud-user(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password). [aaaaaaaa@localhost ~]$ When I created a virtual machine (VM) instance using the same image, I was able to successfully SSH into it using the same steps. [aaaaaaaa@localhost ~]$ ssh -i .ssh/key.pem cloud-user(a)yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy Last login: Fri Jun 6 07:41:42 2025 from yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy [cloud-user@vm_instance ~]$ To build the OS image, we used the following commands from the ironic-python-agent-builder documentation: $ disk-image-create rocky-container vm dhcp-all-interfaces block-device-efi openssh-server cloud-init growroot -o rocky9.5_ironic_x86 $ openstack image create Rocky-9.5_x86_baremetal --file rocky9.5_ironic_x86.qcow2 --disk-format qcow2 --property architecture=x86_64 --container-format bare In the past, I have successfully SSH login into baremetal instances deployed with OS images created in this way. https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/user/creating-images.html#disk-ima… SSH login succeeds for VM instances but fails for bare metal instances, even though the same OS image is used. If you know the reason why this happens, please let me know. Best regards, Junya Noguchi

Custom Role Configuration for Admin Activities in OpenStack
by Thamanna Farhath 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

Hi Team, As part of enhancing our OpenStack RBAC policy management, we are in the process of setting up custom roles for various admin-related activities. Custom Roles Used: admin_instance_read,admin_volume_read,admin_network_read,admin_glance_read Policy Customizations: # Compute - List all instances across tenants "os_compute_api:servers:index:get_all_tenants": "rule:context_is_admin or role:admin_instance_read" "os_compute_api:servers:detail:get_all_tenants": "rule:context_is_admin or role:admin_instance_read" # Network - Get networks (shared/external/own project) "get_network": "(rule:admin_only) or (role:reader and project_id:%(project_id)s) or rule:shared or rule:external or rule:context_is_advsvc or role:admin_network_read" # Volume - List all volumes and snapshots across projects "volume:get_all": "rule:xena_system_admin_or_project_reader or role:admin_volume_read" "volume:get_all_snapshots": "rule:xena_system_admin_or_project_reader or role:admin_volume_read" # Image - List all images including shared/community/public "get_image": "role:admin or (role:reader and project_id:%(project_id)s) or project_id:%(member_id)s or 'community':%(visibility)s or 'public':%(visibility)s or 'shared':%(visibility)s or role:admin_glance_read" "get_images": "role:admin or (role:reader and project_id:%(project_id)s) or role:admin_glance_read" Issue: Despite the above configurations, listing all instances, images, volumes, and networks across all projects still only works for the admin role. The custom roles (e.g., admin_instance_read, etc.) are not taking effect for cross-project visibility as expected. Request: I would appreciate any suggestions or insights on: Whether additional policy bindings or role scopes are required. If any service-specific constraints might be overriding the custom roles. Any known limitations regarding get_all_tenants behavior with custom roles.

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2025.2/R-14)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 23 Jun '25

23 Jun '25

Hello Stackers, We're fourteen weeks away from the coordinated 2025.2 "Flamingo" release of OpenStack [1], and Milestone-2 for this release is on 2025-07-03. In the past week, the Call for Papers for the upcoming OpenInfra Summit in Paris-Saclay ended; however, the deadline to propose Forum sessions and Project Updates sessions is 2025-07-08 at 23:59 PST [2]. This time at the summit, there's also a "New Contributor Showcase" inviting presentations on projects that leverage or support open infrastructure. Whether it’s your first contribution, an open source tool, or a collaboration with a community, we want to hear about it, so please consider applying [3]. In the past week, the OpenStack Technical Committee did not merge any new governance changes. A few change proposals are open for the community's input. OpenDev Infra administrators and OpenStack's Release Management team have posted several changes to begin enforcing the Developer Certificate of Origin in lieu of the Contributor License Agreement from July 1, 2025 [4]. If you haven't already begun using "git commit -s" to sign off your commits in adherence to the DCO, please do so. As a reminder, from July 1st, OpenDev's Gerrit system (https://review.opendev.org) will reject any changes that do not include a "Signed-off-by" line in the commit message. Simultaneously, the existing CLAs will no longer be available for new contributors to sign. === Weekly Meeting === The OpenStack Technical Committee met on OFTC's #openstack-tc channel on 2025-06-17 [5]. The team confirmed plans to transition to DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) by July 1st, approving updates to the contributor guide and discussing the ongoing process of integrating DCO across tools and translations. We then focused on improving the contributor experience, with analyses of review metrics being shared with various project teams like Nova and Cinder through weekly IRC meetings. This data collection aims to identify pain points and best practices to inform future strategies. We plan to drive collective attention to this effort during the PTG in October. We also discussed the level of activity in the Cyborg project. We have had issues contacting the core maintainers to get some critical fixes merged, and the TC agreed to begin the process to mark the project "inactive." This decision aligns with the upcoming M-2 release deadline. The discussion also prompted a health check on several project teams. We'll be discussing this in further detail on proposals directly on Gerrit, or in a future weekly meeting. OpenDev Infra administrators completed a transition from Nodepool to Zuul-launcher and pleasantly have not seen any negative impact on the CI. During an Open Discussion, concerns were raised about the timeline specified by the Eventlet Removal TC goal [6]. Nova maintainers, in particular, expressed the need for more time to ensure a stable transition to threading and adequate operator testing, suggesting a revised target of 2028.1 for full Eventlet removal, a point that will be further debated on the mailing list [7] and a Gerrit proposal [8]. The next meeting of the OpenStack Technical Committee is on 2025-06-24. It will be hosted over IRC in OFTC's #openstack-tc channel at 1700 UTC. Please find the agenda and other details on the meeting's wiki page [9]. I hope you'll be able to join us. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open for review ==== - Require declaration of affiliation from TC Candidates | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/949432 - Make Eventlet removal deadlines more acceptable for operators | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/952903 - Mark Cyborg inactive | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/952798 === Upcoming Events === - 2025-06-28: OpenInfra+Cloud Native Day, Vietnam: https://www.vietopeninfra.org/void2025 - 2025-07-03: OpenStack's 15th Birthday, Colombia User Group: https://www.meetup.com/colombia-openinfra-user-group/events/308383244 - 2025-07-08: OpenInfra Board meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2025-07-19: OpenInfra Days, Indonesia: https://2025.openinfra.id/ Thank you very much for reading! On behalf of the OpenStack TC, Goutham Pacha Ravi (gouthamr) OpenStack TC Chair
