Open Stack

I favor the solutions that also enable logs.

Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [ironic][nova][horizon] Serial console support for ironic instances

Hi,

I also want to discuss about it at summit session.

Yes, I think it would be good to have a summit session on that. However, before the session, it would really be helpful if the folks with proposals got together and/or reviewed each other's proposals, and summarized their findings.

I've summarized all of related proposals.

(1)Add driver using Socat
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/293827/

* Pros:
- There is no influence to other components
- Don't need to change any other Ironic drivers(like IPMIShellinaboxConsole)
- Don't need to bump API microversion/RPC

* Cons:
- Don't output log file

(2)Add driver starting ironic-console-server
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/302291/
(There is no spec, yet)

* Pros:
- There is no influence to other components
- Output log file
- Don't need to change any other Ironic drivers(like IPMIShellinaboxConsole)
- No adding any Ironic services required, only add tools

* Cons:
- Need to bump API microversion/RPC

(3)Add a custom HTTP proxy to Nova
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/300582/

* Pros:
- Don't need any change to Ironic API

* Cons:
- Need Nova API changes(bump microversion)
- Need Horizon changes
- Don't output log file

(4)Add Ironic-ipmiproxy server
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/296869/

* Pros:
- There is no influence to other components
- Output log file
- IPMIShellinaboxConsole will be also available via Horizon

* Cons:
- Need IPMIShellinaboxConsole changes?
- Need to bump API microversion/RPC

If there is any mistake, please give me comment.


Best Regards,
Yuiko Takada

However, before the session, it would really be helpful if the folks with proposals got together and/or reviewed each other's proposals, and summarized their findings. You may find after reviewing the proposals, that eg only 2 are really different. Or they several have merit because they are addressing slightly different issues. That would make it easier to present/discuss/decide at the session.

Someone mentioned this would make a good summit session, as there's a
few competing proposals that are all good options. I do welcome
discussion here until then, but I'm going to put it on the schedule. :)
