[cinder][ops] Migrate volume backend from decommissioned node
by Isaac Vicente 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

Hello all, In the past week I've added a new controller and decommissioned an old one, following the official documentation [1], and I wrote a version of my own [2], specific to my environment. In the section "Removing existing controllers", it's necessary to move agents and remove services of the node that will be decommissioned. So far so good, until I realize that a volume has the following property: os-vol-host-attr:host: <old_node>@rbd-1#rbd-1 It means that this volume is still on the backend of the removed node. So I tried to migrate it to another backend, and the migration status is "starting" for a long time. In the cinder-scheduler logs: WARNING cinder.scheduler.host_manager volume service is down. (host: <old_node>@rbd-1) To me, the migration stays in this status because the proper backend is down. To mention, I'm using Ceph as cinder backend. Also, there's no mention of the volume being migrated on other controller nodes. Is there any method to migrate all volumes of this backend without needing to re-deploy the old controller?

[docs] Documentation sites are extremely slow
by Eugen Block 18 Mar '26

18 Mar '26

Hi, I'm not sure how long it has been like that, but when I tried to access the documentation yesterday, it took forever to load. And it is the same today, it takes several minutes to load any site, for example: https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/2025.2/admin/ I tried it from different networks, didn't make a difference. Is that a known issue? Thanks, Eugen

Hi, my environment is: Epoxy on Ubuntu 24.04 package-based installation I'm looking for some clarification regarding this bug report [0]. I don't really understand if it's fixed or not.

I then manually applied [1] which seems to have fixed the "volume_is_new" issue, at least I can restore volumes now. But I was also wondering why it took so long, and noticed that it doesn't keep the sparseness (although it should according to [2].

Could anyone help me understand? Thanks!

[kolla] Proposing Bertrand Lanson for kolla-reviewers
by Michał Nasiadka 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Hello, I’d like to propose Bertrand (blanson) for being a member of the new kolla-reviewers group in Gerrit. That group is a step entry into being a core member of the project - gives +2 right without workflow. Bertrand has been very active in both code submissions and reviews and has solved some of the Podman issues that we have. If nobody opposes - I’ll add Bertrand in a week from now. Cheers, Michal

Next Digital Sovereignty WG Meeting
by Kendall Nelson 17 Mar '26

17 Mar '26

Hello Everyone! I hope you enjoyed the bye-week; it's time to vote on the next meeting time <https://beta.framadate.org/polls/8529564824278c0ca549>! The next meeting will take place March 17th, 18th or 19th depending on your responses. You have until March 15th to reply to the poll. As for the other in progress items we have: - Allison is drafting sample stances for us to review and select during the meeting - those drafts will be added to the etherpad <https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/Digital-Sovereignty-WG> before the end of the week. - It doesn't look like anyone has been brave enough to jump in and start the comparison sheet <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XhJoB88pkWf26w1JWuo5KqSTrQicTiTZY14…> nor the best practices guide <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Pv02JFm58k-hefgSQ0_4fgsWQO0erqe42JRZz6I…> so I will try to add some content ahead of the meeting to get the ball rolling unless someone else gets there first! - We currently have three volunteers for doing thought leadership pieces in this space - are there any other volunteers? - Anyone that volunteered to provide a case study is encouraged to begin that work if it has not already been started as we will be touching on updates during the call as well! Did I miss anything? Any questions? If not, please respond to the poll and we will see each other soon! -Kendall
