Essential Priorities
====================

CI refactoring and missing test coverage
----------------------------------------
- not considered a priority, it's a 'do it always' thing
- Standalone CI tests (vsaienk0)
    - next patch to be reviewed, needed for 3rd party CI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/429770/
- Missing test coverage (all)
    - portgroups and attach/detach tempest tests: https://review.openstack.org/382476
    - local boot with partition images: TODO https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1531149
    - adoption: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/344975/
        - should probably be changed to use standalone tests
    - root device hints: TODO

Generic boot-from-volume (TheJulia, dtantsur)
---------------------------------------------
- specs and blueprints:
    - http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/volume-connection-information.html
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526231
    - http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/boot-from-volume-reference-drivers.html
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1559691
    - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-boot-from-volume
        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/ironic-boot-from-volume
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - Python-ironicclient API support for volume connectors was landed last week.
        - Version 1.14.0 was released last week and global-requirements was updated accordingly
        - These should be part of the next release, meaning 1.15.0 when released.
    - We have observed some review activity on the nova patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/215385/
        - Mostly positive review feedback. Some concern from nova as to the lack of n-1 support where nova is upgraded prior to ironic, which is contrary to our upgrade guide.
    - Patch/note tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Ironic-BFV

            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/427738 - OSC volume target - MERGED

            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/479848 - ironic cli volume target commands - Approved to Merge

Rolling upgrades and grenade-partial (rloo, jlvillal)
-----------------------------------------------------
- spec approved; code patches: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526283
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - next patches ready for reviews:
        - 'Modifications for rolling upgrades': https://review.openstack.org/#/c/476779/ 2x +2
        - 'Add new dbsync command with first online data migration': https://review.openstack.org/#/c/408556/
    - to address restarting services after unpinning, spec ready for reviews: 'SIGHUP restarts services with updated configs': https://review.openstack.org/474309
    - Testing work: done as per spec, but rloo wants to ask vasyl whether we can improve. grenade test will do upgrade so we have old API sending requests to old and/or new conductor, but rloo doesn't think there is anything to control -which- conductor handles the request, so what if old conductor handles all the requests?

Reference architecture guide (dtantsur)

- inspector docs affected by the switch (404) patches up, client patches up (to some extend), still WIP
- reviews needed on the worker-api split https://review.openstack.org/#/c/462861/
- anupn succeeded testing the dnsmasq pxe filter in devstack \o/ so it seems it might work

Bifrost (TheJulia)
------------------
- Yolanda has proposed a patch for multiple nameservers to be supported as part of the node configuration.

ironic-ui (betherly, ppiela, TheJulia)
--------------------------------------
- Targeting Pike-3 for release, several outstanding features are in review at this time.

Until next week,
