[Nova][vms]Preventing VM I/O Errors When Ceph OSD Nodes Go Down
by Thamanna Farhath 25 Feb '26

25 Feb '26

Dear Community, We are running OpenStack 2023.1 with Ceph as the backend storage on a 3-node deployment. Recently, we faced a scenario where two of our servers became unresponsive (hung state), and we had to reboot them. During this time, VMs running on the affected compute node started reporting I/O errors inside the guest OS, such as: [ 33.911093] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 229880 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 2 prio class 0 [ 33.914953] Buffer I/O error on dev vda1, logical block 319, lost async page write [ 33.914953] Buffer I/O error on dev vda1, logical block 320, lost async page write [ 33.927594] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 229904 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 2 prio class 0 It appears that when Ceph becomes unavailable (or quorum is lost), the VMs continue attempting writes, which results in I/O errors at the guest OS level. Our goal: We would like to prevent guest filesystem corruption or I/O errors when Ceph is down. Ideally, we want to: Pause or block writes from active VMs when Ceph storage is unavailable Avoid guest OS filesystem corruption Ensure safer recovery when Ceph services are restored Disclaimer : The content of this email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.

using postgresql in production
by Jiatong Shen 24 Feb '26

24 Feb '26

Hello community, We are analyzing the possibility of using PostgreSQL in production. The reason behind is that the PostgreSQL community is very open and growing fast, besides many Chinese companies provide PG compatibility. My question is what are the pros and cons between using PG and MariaDB. Are there any tools available to do online data migration for legacy environments? Any insight is deeply appreciated. Thank you. -- Best Regards, Jiatong Shen

[openstack-helm] Removing support for tungstenfabric in neutron and nova charts
by Mathieu Gagné 24 Feb '26

24 Feb '26

Hi, It appears tungstenfabric is no longer active. [1] > The official Tungsten Fabric website states that the project will be shut down on August 1, 2024. The latest images consumed by openstack-helm [2][3] found on Docker Hub are from 5 years ago for nightly [4] and 8 years for non-nightly [5]. Considering the state of the tungstenfabric project, the plan is to remove support from openstack-helm. [6] If there are any objections, please let them know.

[keystone] App Credential reactivation after reconnection is not immediate
by Vincent Godin 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

If you create a 24-hour credential application with a non-local user who has a 2-hour time-to-live (default_authorization_ttl), after 2 hours the TTL resets to 0 and the credential application stops working, which is expected. If the user logs back in, there's a waiting period before the credential application becomes functional again, and the same applies if the user want to create a new credential application. I've noticed that if the user leaves a group with member privileges, for example, their app credentials are immediately invalidated. The same behavior should occur when the user logs back in after the TTL expires.

[neutron] multicast and allowed address pairs
by Bence Romsics 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

Hi Neutrinos, We have a user who discovered that two neutron backends behave differently when it comes to handling multicast traffic. This user runs servers that need multicast for VRRP coordination (the point is multicast, not VRRP). They discovered that with the (no longer upstream supported) OpenDaylight backend, they need to let the multicast traffic through with an allowed address pair. On the other hand, the ml2/ovs backend (here always assuming the ovs firewall driver) allows the multicast traffic by default. If you add the same allowed address pair (for example: {'mac_address': '01:00:5e:00:00:64', 'ip_address': '224.0.0.100'}) as with OpenDaylight, it actually breaks multicast traffic. The traffic breaks even on other servers, affected by the same set of flows installed by ovs-agent. My question is: which backend behaves correctly? And do we need to change anything upstream? Since I found the following upstream history... https://opendev.org/openstack/neutron/src/branch/master/doc/source/admin/co… https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1889631 ... I believe that ml2/ovs (with the ovs fw driver) behaves correctly when it lets the multicast traffic through by default. However I believe it is a bug that the traffic breaks when the user adds the allowed address pair. But I think it would be pretty pointless to start fixing the traffic itself since we would need to make changes for no effect. Rather we could reject allowed address pairs with multicast IPs/MAC addresses, because that would call the attention of the user that multicast traffic is already handled at a different place (that is the default behavior of the fw driver). I also believe that the OpenDaylight driver is buggy when it does not let the multicast traffic through just like ml2/ovs does. However this is not an upstream problem anymore, since networking-odl is long deprecated. Do you agree in the judgement where the bugs are in this case? The possible upstream change: Do you think we should start rejecting allowed address pairs with multicast IPs/MAC addresses? Plus I guess a doc update for allowed address pairs api-ref is due... If needed, I'm happy to bring this to the drivers meeting. It's 100% that I could attend next Friday (6th of March) and 80% for this Friday (27th of February). Thanks, Bence

[tc][all] OpenStack Technical Committee Weekly Summary and Meeting Agenda (2026.1/R-5)
by Goutham Pacha Ravi 22 Feb '26

22 Feb '26

Hello Stackers, We're five weeks away from the date of the coordinated release of OpenStack 2026.1 "Gazpacho" [1]. On Thursday this week, we'll observe a feature freeze across all deliverables following a cycle-with-rc release model [2]. This is in preparation for the first release candidate for all these deliverables in a couple of weeks. During this past week, CI was unstable due to upstream changes, and a lot of it required work from across project teams. We're hoping that the testing remains uneventful while we go through this last leg of our release journey. The OpenStack Technical Committee did not make any new governance changes in the past week. We're defining the tested runtimes for the OpenStack 2026.2 "Hibiscus" release cycle [3]. Please take a look and give us your feedback. === Weekly Meeting === The last weekly meeting of the OpenStack TC occurred on February 17, 2026, over the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC [4]. We discussed the ongoing election cycle. A lot of the PTL and TC nominations were pending at the time of this meeting, and we were proactively considering next steps. As is usual, however, we expect (and saw) a late surge of nominations before the deadline. On the technical front, we are intensifying our focus on the Requirements team's health and its integration with deployment-focused contributors. The current lack of a confirmed Deployment Project Liaison (DPL) team risks pushing us into a TC appointment stage, which we would prefer to avoid through active community engagement. We're hoping to make the global requirements process more accessible to downstream owners and deployment experts to ensure our dependency management reflects real-world production needs. Finally, we noted several ongoing CI issues. While the setuptools regressions have stabilized significantly on the master branch, we have targeted work remaining to ensure that older supported stable branches have a viable CI. The next meeting of the OpenStack TC is on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. This meeting will be held at 1700 UTC, over IRC in the #openstack-tc channel on OFTC. Please find the meeting's agenda on the meeting's wiki page [5]. Please feel free to edit the ping list and add your nickname if you'd like to be alerted during the meeting. === Governance Proposals === ==== Open For Review ==== - Restore DPL model for requirements project | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/977547 - Define testing runtime for 2026.2 release | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/976691 - Revert "Revive os_monasca" | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/974775 - Appoint Arnaud Morin as PTL for mistral | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/governance/+/977344 === Upcoming Events === - 2026-02-26: 2026.1 "Gazpacho" Feature Freeze / Milestone 3 - 2026-03-10: OpenInfra Board Meeting: https://board.openinfra.org/ - 2026-03-23: KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe begins: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe/ - 2026-04-20: OpenInfra PTG begins: https://openinfra.org/ptg/ Thank you very much for reading!

[neutron][all] No module named 'packaging.pylock' failures
by Brian Haley 22 Feb '26

22 Feb '26

Hi, Started seeing this failure yesterday in the neutron-functional job: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'packaging.pylock' Full ouptput at https://paste.opendev.org/show/bawqTgzkecxaK5DVEEAA/ I figured it was another issue with a new release of the packaging library as I see a 26.0 now, but upper-constraints is pinned to ==25.0 so I don't see how it's being pulled-in. The logs do show 26.0 being used at the end so I'm confused. I even tried to do a quick pin but it's still using 26.0: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/977556 Have any other projects seen this? Is 26.0 causing this or is it another interaction between libraries? Thanks for any help, -Brian

Nova Multi-Cell Live Migration Issues
by Tyler Wilson 20 Feb '26

Hello All, I'm trying to get a 2 cell setup going as a test environment and am running into some troubles. I seem to be able to start VM's just fine, however when I try live-migrations I am getting this error: 2026-02-19 20:11:01.448 1 ERROR nova.conductor.manager [None req-91d4c1c6-a69f-41d4-a3ca-c0890bde0af8 - - - - - -] Migration of instance 73123ed9-d112-4030-945c-96c75a016d55 to host compute1 unexpectedly failed.: oslo_messaging.rpc.client.RemoteError: Remote error: RemoteError Remote error: CantStartEngineError No sql_connection parameter is established I see this on the following service logs nova-conductor (superconductor role only) nova-api nova-compute What is odd is that I don't see any activity in the cell-conductor when this happens, even with debug enabled. Here are the configured connection strings I have in each conductor/api/compute services: https://pastebin.com/raw/uuamtzsk Are these the correct database connection strings for each service? I'm basing this off the multi-cell diagram in the docs. The fact that the cell-conductors aren't showing any activity when this happens is throwing me off. I feel like I'm missing something here but I can't put my finger on it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[release] Release countdown for week R-5, Feb 23 - 27
by Elõd Illés 20 Feb '26

20 Feb '26

Development Focus ----------------- We are getting close to the end of the 2026.1 Gazpacho cycle! Next week on February 26th, 2026 is the Gazpacho-3 milestone, also known as feature freeze. It's time to wrap up feature work in the services and their client libraries, and defer features that won't make it to the 2026.2 Hibiscus cycle. General Information ------------------- This coming week is the deadline for client libraries: their last feature release needs to happen before "Client library freeze" on February 26th, 2026. Only bugfix releases will be allowed beyond this point. When requesting those library releases, you can also include the stable/2026.1 branching request with the review. As an example, see the "branches" section here: https://opendev.org/openstack/releases/src/branch/master/deliverables/pike/… February 26th, 2026 is also the deadline for feature work in all OpenStack deliverables following the cycle-with-rc model. To help those projects produce a first release candidate in time, only bugfixes should be allowed in the master branch beyond this point. Any feature work past that deadline has to be raised as a Feature Freeze Exception (FFE) and approved by the team PTL. Finally, feature freeze is also a good time for submitting a first version of your cycle-highlights. Cycle highlights are the raw data that helps shape what is communicated in press releases and other release activity at the end of the cycle, avoiding direct contacts from marketing folks. See https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/release-management.html#cycle… for more details. Upcoming Deadlines & Dates -------------------------- Gazpacho-3 milestone (feature freeze): February 26th, 2026 (R-5 week) RC1 deadline: March 12th, 2026 (R-3 week) Final RC deadline: March 26th, 2026 (R-1 week) Final 2026.1 "Gazpacho" release: April 1st, 2026 2026.2 "Hibiscus" (virtual) PTG: April 20-24, 2026 Előd Illés irc: elodilles @ #openstack-release

Feb 19 Digital Sovereignty WG Recording + Next Steps
by Kendall Nelson 19 Feb '26

19 Feb '26

Hello All! Thank you to all those that were able to find the time to attend and participate in this week's meeting! For those that were not able to attend, here is the recording of today's meeting so that you can catch up and stay engaged with these efforts: https://zoom.us/rec/share/a5cXdx6RsWRNuGt8uqyQEgrVDNnIbexDag8NaUEzhcuyiUmTh… *Now, as far as next steps go: * - Soon, Allison and I will send around some samples of stance text for the landing page and we will *NEED* your feedback and opinions to make sure we have everything covered. - If you have a use case that you think would be good to share, please start working on those case studies ASAP! While we don't need them to launch the landing page (which is scheduled for March 20th-ish) the more content we have ready to go early on, the better! - If you are interested in helping with either of the other initial deliverables ( the comparison sheet or the best practices doc), please add your name to those sections of the etherpad <https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/Digital-Sovereignty-WG>. Also, if you have additional resources that would be helpful in crafting either deliverable, add them to the etherpad. Feel free to also get started throwing content in either as well! They will be living documents in draft form for a while, so nothing has to be perfect. Focus on just getting content in and we will polish things up later. When Allison and I send drafts of stances for review, we will also send out the poll for selecting the next meeting time which is slated for the week of March 9th, likely the 10th, 11th or 12th. Whew, that was a lot of information, but we have a lot of work to get done as a group! I am so excited to see this effort through with you all; we are a strong community and we are stronger together, so thank you for sharing your expertise and time with the Digital Sovereignty Working Group. -- Kendall Nelson *Senior Upstream Developer Advocate* The OpenInfra Foundation <https://openinfra.dev/>

[kolla-ansible][ironic] Simple setup for baremetal in Flamingo OpenStack
by vincent lee 19 Feb '26

19 Feb '26

Hi all, I am currently experiencing issues while setting up a basic ironic deployment. My environment consists of a controller running Ubuntu 24.04 and a baremetal host with IPMI support but no operating system installed. I am using kolla-ansible for the Flamingo version OpenStack deployment, and all configuration is being managed through the globals.yml file. One of the controller’s network interfaces is configured to provide DHCP and is connected to a physical switch. I have attached an image (Figure 1) illustrating the physical layout of my setup. My controller had the following configuration: { Two interface (eth0 and eth1) eth0: 10.42.0.1 with netmask 24 eth1: No IP assignment } My compute had the following configuration: { 5 interfaces (eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, IPMI) eth1: No IP assignment and is connected to switch (MAC: 6F:F1:34:E9:01:29) IPMI: 10.42.0.100 connected to switch } In my globals.yml file, I have the following configuration: { openstack_release: "2025.2" # Flamingo kolla_internal_vip_address: "10.42.0.1" docker_configure_for_zun: true containerd_configure_for_zun: true containerd_grpc_gid: 42463 enable_openstack_core: true enable_haproxy: false enable_cinder: false enable_etcd: true enable_fluentd: true enable_ironic: true enable_kuryr: true enable_magnum: true enable_zun: true ironic_dnsmasq_dhcp_ranges: - range: "10.42.0.5,10.42.0.200" ironic_dnsmasq_boot_file: "pxelinux.0" ironic_cleaning_network: "public1" ironic_dnsmasq_default_gateway: "10.42.0.1" ironic_inspector_kernel_cmdline_extras: ['ipa-lldp-timeout=90.0', 'ipa-collect-lldp=1'] } After completing the deployment, I verified that all the required services are running as docker containers. Immediately afterward, I executed the necessary command to generate the admin credentials, which allows me to use the OpenStack client. 1. $pip install python-openstackclient -c https://releases.openstack.org/constraints/upper/master 2. $kolla-ansible post-deploy 3. $/path/to/venv/share/kolla-ansible/init-runonce After running the command, the following baseline was created. 1. Two network (public1 and demo-net), where public is a flat network 2. cirros image file 3. flavors After that, I uploaded a working kernel, initramfs, and ISO image to OpenStack. I verified that these images were functioning correctly by successfully launching an instance. Next, during the node enrollment process, I ran the following command to enroll my baremetal node. 1. $openstack flavor create --ram 32768 --vcpu 16 --disk 120 baremetal 2. $openstack flavor set --property resources:CUSTOM_IRONIC=1 baremetal 3. $openstack flavor set --property resources:VCPU=0 baremetal 4. $openstack flavor set --property resources:MEMORY_MB=0 baremetal 5. $openstack flavor set --property resources:DISK_GB=0 baremetal 6. $openstack baremetal node create --driver ipmi --deploy-interface direct --driver-info ipmi_username=<IPMI_usernmae> --driver-info ipmi_password=<IPMI_password> --driver-info ipmi_address=10.42.0.100 --driver-info deploy_kernel=<kernel uploaded> --driver-info deploy_ramdisk=<initramfs uploaded> --property local_gb=20 --resource-class baremetal --name My_node After enrolling the node as described above, and since I do not have an ironic Inspector setup, I manually created a port for the enrolled node using the MAC address 6F:F1:34:E9:01:29, which corresponds to the LAN interface. At this point, I am unsure how to proceed with booting the desired image onto the bare-metal host. I would greatly appreciate any guidance on the next steps required to deploy the image to the machine. Best, Vincent

[nova][meeting] Reserving time for bug scrubbing
by René Ribaud 19 Feb '26

19 Feb '26

Hi everyone, First of all, apologies for the lack of regular updates over the past few months. I haven’t managed to find the time and energy recently, but I’m trying to get back to a more regular rhythm. For the next meeting, I’d like us to explicitly reserve 10 to 15 minutes for bug scrubbing and avoid skipping it. To make this possible, I’ll adjust the agenda accordingly so that this time is clearly allocated. For those volunteering for bug scrubbing: if you have questions about specific bugs, please try to prepare them in advance and, if possible, add them to the agenda document under the Bug Scrubbing section. This should help us make that time more efficient and focused upfront. Thanks everyone, and see you at the meeting. Cheers, René

[all][elections][tc] TC Election Campaigning Kickoff
by Ian Y. Choi 18 Feb '26

18 Feb '26

Developers, The TC Election Campaigning Period has now started[1]. During the next couple days, you are all encouraged to ask the candidates questions about their platforms[2], opinions on OpenStack, community governance, and anything else that will help you to better determine how you will vote. This is the time to raise any issues you wish the future TC to consider, and to evaluate the opinions of the nominees prior to their election. Candidates, Each of you has posted a platform[2], and announced your nomination to the developers. From this point, you are encouraged to ask each other questions about the posted platforms, and begin discussion of any points that you feel are particularly important during the next cycle. While you are not yet TC members, your voices and opinions about the issues raised in your platforms and questions raised by the wider community will help ensure that the future TC has the widest possible input on the matters of community concern, and the electorate has the best information to determine the ideal TC composition to address these and other issues that may arise.

[watcher][election][ptl] Douglas Viroel PTL candidacy for 2026.2
by Douglas Viroel 18 Feb '26

18 Feb '26

Hi all, I would like to announce my candidacy for Watcher PTL for the 2026.2 (Hibiscus) cycle. I started contributing to OpenStack during the Stein cycle in Manila project where I still assist with patch reviews, depending on the demand. Starting at 2025.1 release, I have been a Watcher contributor and maintainer, working with other contributors to revive the project and tackle many of the existing technical debts. In 2025.2 I started the effort to remove Eventlet from Watcher and in 2026.1, working as tact-sig, have been refactoring our CI, including our stable branches, to properly test patches in both check and gate pipelines. For the 2026.2 cycle, these are some of the priorities that I plan to focus on: Testing and CI/CD Coverage Improvements: * Support the implementation of new integration test in Watcher Dashboard * Expand test coverage for features, datasources, and/or integrations that remain untested in CI (e.g.: Audit Scope feature) * Start the effort on adding functional tests to Watcher * Continue improvements to check/gate pipelines for master and stable branches Scalability and Availability: * Support for osprofiler in Watcher to enable performance analysis at scale * Performance analysis in Action Plan parallelization OpenStack SDK Migration: * Support the migration effort started in 2026.1 to modernize the remaining integrations Eventlet Removal: * Make native threads the default thread mode in 2026.2 * Address performance gaps when running with native threading * Prepare for Eventlet deprecation in 2027.1 Thank you for your consideration.
