Hi,

 

We are currently planning some large OpenStack deployments utilizing kolla-ansible and

I’m curious what folks are doing with the cell database HA/redundancy.

 

With kolla-ansible (xena) it appears that a loadbalancer setup is only allowed for the

default database shard (shard 0)... reference: https://docs.openstack.org/kolla-ansible/latest/reference/databases/mariadb-guide.html

 

If we are setting up separate cell database shards with Galera, I’m wondering if there is a convenient work-around or configuration for implementation of HA for these cell databases.

 

In the inventory group_vars directory you can specify the group variables (for each cell database) as:

 

nova_cell_database_address:

nova_cell_database_group:

 

but these aren’t virtual IP hosts/addresses (non default db shard). This works perfectly fine with

a single server cell database but not Galera. If that db server goes down the cell instance information is lost.

 

Many thanks ... Andrew
