[stackalytics] no "neutron" module for Commits
by Ihar Hrachyshka 07 May '26

07 May '26

Hi, I noticed that "neutron" is not an option in the Module list when Commits are selected, and no neutron commits are registered since ~Oct 2023. On the other hand, other Neutron program repos (e.g. neutron-lib and neutron-tempest-plugin) are available in the list and do register commits. Also, when Reviews are selected, neutron module is back as an option, and review stats are correctly updated. I checked governance yaml and it doesn't strike me as incorrect: https://opendev.org/openstack/governance/src/commit/5f93b99a3c90b452f6c7368… Any ideas what may have happened? Thanks, Ihar

[all][dev][ops][tc] Bridging the gap between community and contributing orgs
by Jeremy Stanley 16 Apr '26

16 Apr '26

The tl;dr on this is that I'm opening a broad community discussion on how we can, collectively through improved communication, better bring together our established contributors with casual and prospective contributors who struggle to find successful patterns of contribution, so that we might all support each other in order to benefit OpenStack as a whole. Read on for details... OpenStack's TC has requested that foundation staff, when in conversation with representatives of member organizations, encourage participation in the project and collect feedback on any related challenges those organizations encounter in their attempts to do so. In order to better understand the feedback and brainstorm achievable recommendations for the broader community[*], Community Managers on the foundation staff started to work with a small focus group of established contributors with a solid understanding of what successful patterns of contribution look like. It also came to light that established contributors experience many of the same sorts of challenges, even more so if they don't have the luxury of focusing full-time upstream, and so success often comes down to knowing how to effectively navigate those challenges. The community's goal with this exercise is to improve everyone's experience, and your help is needed to do that! The most common themes reported by those struggling to contribute are not related to tooling or workflow confusion, but instead seem to come down to basic communication challenges. Ideas so far to address these gaps include: * Review bandwidth - Ensure contributors and companies understand the importance and benefits of code review - Incentivize and credit meaningful "+1" reviews more - Understand that the volume of changes and limited reviewer bandwidth often means proposals aren't reviewed quickly (or at all), and their proponents may need some additional tenacity and engagement with the team to get their work noticed - Utilize "review dashboards" as a way to find stale changes which have fallen through the cracks * Review strategy and etiquette - Be clear about the meaning of votes on changes, especially negative ones, and set explicit timelines for things like "procedural -2" or WIP blocks when their approval needs to be delayed - Focus on comments and requests that affect whether or not the change can be merged after the fixes are submitted, rather than requesting trivial adjustments to an unsuitable change which has more fundamental problems - Reciprocate with reviews of changes from new reviewers you see leaving insubstantial reviews, demonstrating to them what deeper and more meaningful reviewing looks like * Mentoring newcomers - Established contributors with sufficient bandwidth can help mentoring newcomers, potential core reviewers and new leaders - Mentoring can happen as part of internship programs as well as by helping newcomers determined to become active contributors; both ways should be embraced and utilized What challenges are you facing? And, how would you improve them? Two weeks from now, we'll have a forum session at the OpenInfra Summit Asia in Suwon[**] where our community can refine these possible approaches and integrate others, as well as bring attention to them and promote their application. I've also proposed a similar forum session for OpenInfra Days North America in Indianapolis a month after that, where we can hopefully continue this conversation. The goal for this multi-stage effort is to improve the contribution experience for established participants, casual contributors and newcomers alike. While it's easy to jump to blaming in these situations, it will be far more productive if we can focus on the challenges and experiences that we would each like to remove or improve for ourselves and others in our community. As we find ways together to improve our efficiency, we can reduce the load on all contributors and lower the barriers for people to join and participate.

Help with vGPU's using an NV L4 card on U24.04 (6.8)
by Tyler Wilson 15 Apr '26

15 Apr '26

Hello All, I'm trying to get vGPU's to work with openstack and I believe I am almost there, however I can't seem to get them to register to placement. Here is what I have so far OS: Ubuntu 24.04 Kernel: 6.8.0-62-generic Nvidia GRID Version: 570.158.02-570.158.01-573.39 Openstack Deployment: Kolla w/ Docker Openstack Version: 2025.1 I have the SRIOV devices enabled with the systemd service, and can see the vgpu types; # cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:25:00.0/virtfn0/nvidia/creatable_vgpu_types ID : vGPU Name 908 : NVIDIA L4-1B 909 : NVIDIA L4-2B 910 : NVIDIA L4-1Q 911 : NVIDIA L4-2Q 912 : NVIDIA L4-3Q 913 : NVIDIA L4-4Q 914 : NVIDIA L4-6Q 915 : NVIDIA L4-8Q 916 : NVIDIA L4-12Q 917 : NVIDIA L4-24Q 918 : NVIDIA L4-1A 919 : NVIDIA L4-2A 920 : NVIDIA L4-3A 921 : NVIDIA L4-4A 922 : NVIDIA L4-6A 923 : NVIDIA L4-8A 924 : NVIDIA L4-12A 925 : NVIDIA L4-24A My kolla node nova custom config (for nova-compute) is [DEFAULT] debug = true verbose = true [devices] enabled_mdev_types = nvidia-918 [mdev_nvidia-918] max_instances = 8 [libvirt] live_migration_downtime = 500000 live_migration_downtime_steps = 3 live_migration_downtime_delay = 3 I've also created flavors, classes, and traits with; openstack flavor create l4-1a --ram 8192 --disk 40 --vcpus 4 openstack flavor set l4-1a --property "resources:VGPU=1" --property "trait:CUSTOM_NVIDIA_918=required" openstack resource class create CUSTOM_NVIDIA_918 openstack trait create CUSTOM_NVIDIA_918 However I can't seem to get placement to show any vGPU's or any of the traits I registered: This just has an empty line # openstack allocation candidate list --resource VGPU=1 and this will just show the standard vCPU/Memory/Disk # openstack resource provider inventory list <Host UUID> Have I missed a step somewhere, do I need to prepare the devices further before nova can pick them up? Thanks for any and all help!

[kolla-ansible][rabbitmq] RabbitMQ cluster creation took too long
by Nguyễn Hữu Khôi 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Hello. I am deploying OpenStack 2025.1 with Kolla-Ansible 2025.1 (master branch) using the latest images. However, when I created a RabbitMQ(4.0.x) cluster with 3 nodes, it took too long—around 12 minutes(it stucked at DB: virgin node -> run peer discovery). I then changed the images to RabbitMQ version 3.13.7, and it worked well. My OS: Ubuntu 24.01 Nguyen Huu Khoi

[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.

LXB Removal and OVN migration
by Ricardo Cano 09 Nov '25

09 Nov '25

Hello openstack-discuss, With the removal of the linuxbridge mechanism driver, has anyone successfully completed an in-place migrationfrom LinuxBridge to OVN? I did come across this https://www.jimmdenton.com/migrating-lxb-to-ovn/ and that looks good as a one-shoit while biting the bullet and taking a full outage. However, I was wondering if it was possible to run lxb and ovn side-by-side and cut them over, say one network at a time. This particular deployment was stood up using openstack-ansible back in the rocky days (now running antelope) and it appears that openstack ansible's default was lxb up until Zed. Any suggestions or recommendations on the best path forward? Also, will the dynamic routing agent work with ovn?
