Open Stack

Hello,

 

1)      We have in total 4 separate clouds who need the upgrade with each
more than 100 compute nodes. We just use the basic services like nova,
keystone, neutron, glance and horizon. No Cinder, heat, trove etc.

Our network setup is flat provider network, which means we don't use the
neutron router. All in all the from the openstack service perspective a
minimal setup.

2)      One of our cloud is set up as HA with two management nodes
(keystone, nova, horizon, glance) behind a haproxy. It's not a big deal to
have the same setup implemented in all clouds if it's helpful for the
upgrade

3)      We don't think about upgrading from Centos 6 to 7. Instead build new
Centos 7 compute nodes and move the VMs with live migration (is it a good
idea?)

4)      What does it affect? Let's say we set up a second management node
wit Centos 7 and the openstack Juno/Kilo services will it work against the
Centos 6/Icehouse compute nodes and the Icehouse DB schema?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Cheers,

Chris

Well this can be very time consuming but first thing first

1) how is your installation done?

2) is this an HA env?

3) chaining from 6.x to 7 is good but may not play well 

4) database schema changed from Icehouse to Juno so keep that in mind. 

 

Then you can start thinking on the upgrades. I know some of my coworker had
hard time to upgrade. Recommended is rebuild / migrate. 

 

Ciao

Hello,

 

We currently plan to upgrade our Openstack setup from Icehouse to Juno or
even Kilo. This also includes a version upgrade on the host based OS from
Centos 6.6 to 7.x

I have some questions regarding the upgrade an hope to learn from your
experience.

 

First question is, is there a Openstack version compatibility guaranteed
within the different releases? The idea behind it to upgrade the different
services (compute nodes / management nodes) in separate phases.

Second, is the live-migration with block-migrate feature compatible between
versions. One upgrade solution we currently playing with is to move existing
VMs with live-migration & block-migrate (no shared storage) to fresh
installed Centos 7 Kilo compute nodes.

 

Any best practice tips highly appreciated!

 

Cheers,

Chris
