Hello, I saw the note about MySQL and UTF-8 in Anne's "What's Up Doc?" email. I'm coincidentally setting up a new OpenStack cloud and am running into an issue related to this. Matt, with reference to your patch <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/80799/>, can you confirm that you were able to run "cinder-manage db sync" without error? When I run this command, it fails on both: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cinder/db/sqlalchemy/migrate_repo/versions/003_glance_metadata.py and 009_add_snapshot_metadata_table.py I have to add: mysql_charset='utf8' below mysql_engine='InnoDB' for both files in order for the db sync command to work without error. This is with Havana, but I checked both<https://github.com/openstack/cinder/blob/master/cinder/db/sqlalchemy/migrate_repo/versions/003_glance_metadata.py> py<https://github.com/openstack/cinder/blob/master/cinder/db/sqlalchemy/migrate_repo/versions/009_add_snapshot_metadata_table.py>files in HEAD and they haven't changed, so I'm assuming I'll run into the same issue in Icehouse. I also see that other files<https://github.com/openstack/cinder/tree/master/cinder/db/sqlalchemy/migrate_repo/versions>already have the "mysql_charset" setting in place, and I also see a similar bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1233861> opened for another migrate file. Perhaps 003 and 009 also need bugs opened? Let me know if you are not running into this issue and I'll repost this question to one of the other OpenStack lists for bug confirmation. I figured I'd post here first to see if we can work out the issue and quickly append the docs and/or open a bug report.
