[openstack-dev] [Neutron][LBaaS] "status" in entities

I agree. the current status can reflect the deployment status and we can add a new attribute to reflect operational status.

I also agree that adminstate_up should definitely affect operational status. But driver could choose to unprovision when admin state is set to false. In which case status will also change.

If agenda permits,  can we discuss this in the upcoming weekly meeting?

Hi guys,

I understood that admin_state_up was a manipulable field which (when working correctly) should change the entity to an operational status of "ADMIN_DOWN" or something similar to that. In any case, +1 on the deeper discussion of status.

How urgent is it to resolve the discussion around status? We could potentially bring the interested parties together via google hangout or webex (to facilitate the high bandwidth).

Isn't that what admin_state_up is for?

But yes we do need a deeper discussion on this and many other things.

The exception to this is the member status, in that it's status can be INACTIVE if a health check fails.  Now this will probably cause edge cases when health checks and updates are happening to the same member.  It's been talked about before, but we need to really have two types of status fields, provisioning and operational.  IMHO, that should be something we try to get into K.
