Ovn ext ports
by engineer2024 26 Jul '25

26 Jul '25

I have marked a chassis as extport host. But when a sriov port is created, it is being claimed by the node from the controller logs, but it is showing up and down in southbound alternatively,. But when the same node is marked as chassis-gw, the sriov port is showing as up in southbound and stable. What's could be the reason for this? Thanks elinux

by Ildiko Vancsa 26 Jul '25

26 Jul '25

Hi OpenStack community, I'm reaching out to you with a friendly reminder that the next OpenStack Ops Radio Hour[1] is scheduled to happen on __July 25th, 2025 at 1300UTC.__ The call series is a casual setting for operators, engineers, and contributors to come together, share knowledge, and collaborate on the complexities of managing and deploying OpenStack environments. Topics the next gathering will dive into: - OVN Migration +Documentation proposal: https://github.com/mariojmdavid/migrate-to-ovn - (SWIFT) Compliance processes - GPUs - VMware migration - vTPM (live migrations or not?): reboot, start What other topics should we add to the agenda? A few reminders: - The group on the call agreed to try out Matrix as a chat platform for more synchronous communication outside calls + You can access the Matrix room here: https://matrix.to/#/#openstack-ops:opendev.org <https://matrix.to/#/%23openstack-ops:opendev.org> + Further details are here: https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack… - If you would like to read and catch up on notes from previous calls, you can find them in this etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/openstack_ops_radiohour See you on the call on July 25th!

[Kolla-ansible][epoxy]nova problems at restart
by Franck VEDEL (UGA) 25 Jul '25

25 Jul '25

Hello everyone, I need your help. II will try to explain my problem by providing a lot of information. I have been trying to solve it for 3 days, without success. In May, my old cluster became too small for the 200 students using it, so I started installing a new cluster. Six nodes, three in one data center, three in another. After testing with Bobcat and Caracal (unsatisfactory, with numerous issues, especially with authentication and display in Horizon), I tried Epoxy. I installed everything I needed and tested it. It was a real success. It was very fast in its new configuration, and I thought everything would be ready by September. In May, my old cluster was becoming too small for the 200 students using it, so I started installing a new cluster. 6 nodes, 3 in one data center, 3 in another. After testing with Bobcat and Caracal (unsatisfactory, with numerous issues, especially with authentication and display in Horizon), I tried Epoxy. I installed everything I needed and tested it. It was a real success. It was very fast in its new configuration; I thought everything would be ready by September. At the beginning of July, I was told to shut down everything, due to electrical maintenance in a data center. I shut everything down. 3 days later, I restarted it, and nothing worked anymore. However, it was simply a shutdown/restart of the servers. The problems are with Nova. Here's some information and logs, if you can help me restart the cluster. So Epoxy on Ubuntu 2404.

[neutron]instances can see traffic of others
by Nguyễn Hữu Khôi 25 Jul '25

25 Jul '25

Hello, I have some instances in the same vlan and compute node. They can see traffic from another instance which looks like port mirror. I can workaround via anti affinity rules but is there any solution for this problem? On vmware we can turn off or on promiscuous mode on the network port group. Thank you. Regards Nguyen Huu Khoi

[kolla][barbican] How to securely manage OpenStack service passwords with Castellan?
by elnaz cl 25 Jul '25

25 Jul '25

Hi all, I have deployed OpenStack using Kolla Ansible. By default, service passwords (e.g., for MySQL, Keystone, etc.) are stored in clear text inside configuration files rendered by Kolla (such as nova.conf, keystone.conf, etc.). I'm looking for a more secure approach to avoid exposing these secrets. Specifically, is there a way to integrate Barbican and Castellan with Kolla-based deployments, so that secrets can be securely loaded at runtime using oslo.config (e.g., using {{ secret:UUID }})? If this is not natively supported, are there any best practices or workarounds for handling this securely? Thanks in advance for any guidance. Best, [Your Name]

Neutron dhcp
by engineer2024 23 Jul '25

23 Jul '25

Hi Folks, In a neutron DHCP network, the route to the link local metadata ip from a VM, is thru the ip set by the neutron dhcp agent's static route option for that subnet. This is the same IP as that of the qdhcp namespace's tap interface. Can we choose a specific ip from this subnet and pass it to neutron to use the same when assigning the ip in qdhcp ns and as a static route option to link local ?

[cinder] Disable Availability Zone
by Kees Meijs | Nefos 22 Jul '25

22 Jul '25

Hello Stackers, For legacy purposes, we've got an Availability Zone running that's not to be used for new workload any more. Within Nova one could simply disable Compute Nodes (and that's what we did) ensuring no Compute Instances get scheduled. But, how about Cinder? How can we keep current workload running within a certain AZ, but ensure no new workload gets accepted? Thanks! Cheers, Kees
