Bugs (dtantsur, vdrok, TheJulia)
--------------------------------
- Stats (diff between 12 Mar 2018 and 19 Mar 2018)
- Ironic: 225 bugs (+14) + 250 wishlist items (+2). 15 new (+10), 152 in progress, 1 critical, 36 high (+3) and 26 incomplete (+2)
- Inspector: 15 bugs (+1) + 26 wishlist items. 1 new (+1), 14 in progress, 0 critical, 3 high and 4 incomplete
- Nova bugs with Ironic tag: 14 (-1). 1 new, 0 critical, 0 high
- critical:
- sushy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sushy/+bug/1754514 (basic auth broken when SessionService is not present)
- note: the increase in bug count is probably because now the dashboard tracks virtualbmc and networking-baremetal
- the dashboard was abruptly deleted and needs a new home :(
- use it locally with `tox -erun` if you need to
- HIGH bugs with patches to review:
- Clean steps are not tested in gate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1523640: Add manual clean step ironic standalone test https://review.openstack.org/#/c/429770/15
- Needs to be reproposed to the ironic tempest plugin repository.
- prepare_instance() is not called for whole disk images with 'agent' deploy interface https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1713916:
- Fix ``agent`` deploy interface to call ``boot.prepare_instance`` https://review.openstack.org/#/c/499050/
- (TheJulia) Currently WF-1, as revision is required for deprecation.

Goals
=====
Updating nova virt to use REST API (TheJulia)
---------------------------------------------
Status as of 19 Mar 2018:
Two phases to implement:
1) Rewrite unit tests away from object usage.
(TheJulia) Posted an initial sample of what this will look like to nova. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/553699/
2) Rewriting the actual calls in the driver to use rest, and then removing python-ironicclient.
Storyboard migration (TheJulia, dtantsur)
-----------------------------------------
Status as of March 19th
- Test instance with some ironic data is available at https://nuc.mirroruniverse.org
- Please explore, see TheJulia with questions.
- Storyboard team has confirmed that data migrates out of Launchpad without issues, and that our data would be migrated into individual projects in a top level "ironic" project group.
- Ironic seems to take 4-6 hours, all other subprojects seem to take 5-20 minutes.
Management interface refactoring (etingof, dtantsur)
----------------------------------------------------
- Status as of March 19th:
- boot mode in ManagementInterface: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/526773/

Redfish OOB inspection (etingof, deray, stendulker)
---------------------------------------------------
Zuul v3 playbook refactoring (sambetts, pas-ha)
-----------------------------------------------
Before Rocky
============
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/
- localboot with partitioned image patches:
- Ironic - add localboot partitioned image test: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/502886/
- when previous are merged TODO (vsaienko)
- Upload tinycore partitioned image to tarbals.openstack.org
- Switch ironic to use tinyipa partitioned image by default
- Missing test coverage (all)
- portgroups and attach/detach tempest tests: https://review.openstack.org/382476
- adoption: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/344975/
- should probably be changed to use standalone tests
- root device hints: TODO
- node take over
- resource classes integration tests: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/443628/
- radosgw (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1737957)
Queens High Priorities
======================
Routed network support (sambetts, vsaienk0, bfournie, hjensas)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- status as of 12 Feb 2018:
- All code patches are merged.
- One CI patch left, rework devstack baremetal simulation. To be done in Rocky?
- This is to have actual 'flat' networks in CI.
- Placement API work to be done in Rocky due to:
Challenges with integration to Placement due to the way the integration was done in neutron.
Neutron will create a resource provider for network segments in Placement, then it creates an os-aggregate
in Nova for the segment, adds nova compute hosts to this aggregate. Ironic nodes cannot be added to host-aggregates.
I (hjensas) had a short discussion with neutron devs (mlavalle) on the issue:
http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-neutron/%23openstack-neutron.2018-01-12.log.html#t2018-01-12T17:05:38
There are patches in Nova to add support for ironic nodes in host-aggregates:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/526753/ allow compute nodes to be associated with host agg
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/529135/ (Spec)
- Patches:
- CI Patches:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/392959/ Rework Ironic devstack baremetal network simulation
- RFEs (Rocky)
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/networking-baremetal/+bug/1749166
- TheJulia, March 19th 2018: This RFE seems not to contain detail on what is desired to be improved upon, and ultimately just seems like refactoring/improvement work and may not then need an rfe.
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/networking-baremetal/+bug/1749162
- TheJulia, March 19th 2018: This RFE makes sense, although I would classify it as a general improvement. If we wish to adhere to strict RFE approval for networking-baremetal work, then I think we should consider this approved since it is minor enhancement to improve operation.
Rescue mode (rloo, stendulker)
------------------------------
- Status as on 12 Feb 2018
- spec: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/implement-rescue-mode.html
- code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526449+status:open+OR+status:merged
- ironic side:
- all code patches have merged except for
- Add documentation for rescue mode: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/431622/ MERGED
- Devstack changes to enable testing add support for rescue mode: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/524118/ MERGED
- We need to be careful with this, in that we can't use python-ironicclient changes that have not been released.
- Update "standalone" job for supporting rescue mode: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/537821/
- Rescue mode standalone tests: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/538119/ (failing CI, not ready for reviews)
- Bugs:
- unrescue fails with partition user image: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/544278/ MERGED
- rescue ramdisk doesn't boot on UEFI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/545186/ MERGED
- Can't Merge until we do a client release with rescue support (in Rocky):
- Tempest tests with nova: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/528699/
- Run the tempest test on the CI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/528704/
- succeeded in rescuing: http://logs.openstack.org/04/528704/16/check/ironic-tempest-dsvm-ipa-wholedisk-bios-agent_ipmitool-tinyipa/4b74169/logs/screen-ir-cond.txt.gz#_Feb_02_09_44_12_940007
- nova side:
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-rescue-mode:
- approved for Queens but didn't get the ironic code (client) done in time
- (TheJulia) Nova has indicated that this is deferred until Rocky.
- To get the nova patch merged, we need:
- release new python-ironicclient - Done
- update ironicclient version in upper-constraints (this patch will be posted automatically)
- update ironicclient version in global-requirement (this patch needs to be posted manually)
- code patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/416487/
- CI is needed for nova part to land
- tiendc is working for CI
Clean up deploy interfaces (vdrok)
----------------------------------
- status as of 5 Feb 2017:
- patch https://review.openstack.org/524433 needs update and rebase
Zuul v3 jobs in-tree (sambetts, derekh, jlvillal, rloo)
-------------------------------------------------------
- etherpad tracking zuul v3 -> intree: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-zuulv3-intree-tracking
- cleaning up/centralizing job descriptions (eg 'irrelevant-files'): DONE
- Next TODO is to convert jobs on master, to proper ansible. NOT a high priority though.
- (pas-ha) DNM experimental patch with "devstack-tempest" as base job https://review.openstack.org/#/c/520167/
OpenStack Priorities
====================
Mox
---
- TheJulia needs to just declare this done.
Python 3.5 compatibility (Nisha, Ankit)
---------------------------------------
- Topic: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:goal-python35+NOT+project:openstack/governance+NOT+project:openstack/releases
- this include all projects, not only ironic
- please tag all reviews with topic "goal-python35"
- TODO submit the python3 job for IPA
- for ironic and ironic-inspector job enabled by disabling swift as swift is still lacking py3.5 support.
- anupn to update the python3 job to build tinyipa with python3
- (anupn): Talked with swift folks and there is a bug upstream opened https://review.openstack.org/#/c/401397 for py3 support in swift. But this is not on their priority
- Right now patch pass all gate jobs except agent_- drivers.
- (TheJulia) It seems we might not have py3 compatibility with swift until the T- cycle.
- updating setup.cfg (part of requirements for the goal):
- ironic: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/539500/ - MERGED
- ironic-inspector: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/539502/ - MERGED
Deploying with Apache and WSGI in CI (pas-ha, vsaienk0)
-------------------------------------------------------
- ironic is mostly finished
- (pas-ha) needs to be rewritten for uWSGI, patches on review:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507067
- inspector is TODO and depends on https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1525218
- delayed as the HA work seems to take a different direction
- (TheJulia, March 19th, 2018) Perhaps because of the different direction, we should consider ourselves done?
Subprojects
===========
Inspector (dtantsur)
--------------------
- trying to flip dsvm-discovery to use the new dnsmasq pxe filter and failing because of bash :Dhttps://review.openstack.org/#/c/525685/6/devstack/plugin.sh@202
- follow-ups being merged/reviewed; working on state consistency enhancements https://review.openstack.org/#/c/510928/ too (HA demo follow-up)
Bifrost (TheJulia)
------------------
- Also seems a recent authentication change in keystoneauth1 has broken processing of the clouds.yaml files, i.e. `openstack` command does not work.
- TheJulia will try to look at this this week.
Drivers:
--------
OneView (???)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Oneview presently does not have a subteam.
Cisco UCS (sambetts) Last updated 2018/02/05
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Cisco CIMC driver CI back up and working on every patch
- Cisco UCSM driver CI in development
- Patches for updating the UCS python SDKs are in the works and should be posted soon
.........
Until next week,
