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

        - code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bp/ironic-boot-from-volume
- status as of most recent weekly meeting:
    - Last week we identified an issue where a follow-up broke a BFV machine when progressing through to cleaning.
        - This issue was identified, and some discussion has occurred regarding how to properly fix. We are going to remove the follow-up code for a better solution to fix the same problem.
        -  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/484032/
    - Last week we also achieved the first boot of a machine via a cinder volume in OpenStack CI
        - http://logs.openstack.org/12/485812/6/check/gate-tempest-dsvm-ironic-ipa-wholedisk-bios-agent_ipmitool-tinyipa-ubuntu-xenial/375227c/
        - Achieved via DNM patches - Project-config update has been proposed and presently has one +2.
    - Patch/note tracking etherpad: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/Ironic-BFV
        Ironic Patches:
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/466333/ - Devstack changes or Boot from Volume - MERGED
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/484032/ -- Create boot.ipxe upon start-up - In Review/Requires revision
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/472740/ - Tempest test scenario for BFV
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/479326/ - BFV deploy follow-up - Requires revision - should be landed after the tempest test can be executed.
        Nova:
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/215385 - Ironic: Support boot from cinder volume - In Review
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/468353 - Ironic: Get IP address for volume connector - --NOT REQUIRED FOR PIKE-- - Is a follow-up to the first nova patch to allow
        Project-Config:
            https://review.openstack.org/#/c/480332 - Add experimental gate job for BFV.

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/ MERGED
        - '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?

Subprojects
===========

Inspector (dtantsur, milan)
---------------------------
- inspector docs affected by the switch (404) patches up, client patches up (to some extend), still WIP, better as of today; some more +2 in the patchset, contributor content merging
- 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, updated with Ilya's suggestions
- python-ironic-inspector-client docs update merged

ironic-ui (betherly, ppiela, TheJulia)
--------------------------------------
- Expecting to release this week.

Drivers:
--------

iRMC (hshiina)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The CI for the driver has been stopped because of our internal resource issues. The issue has been solved now and we will make them start again in August.

Until next week,
