Hi, This is an observation which we made while doing the build for an iso image for StarlingX, which we think can be looked into and improved upon. The observation is given below. $ make build can we look at the make file and ensure that it doesn't look for components which are not yet part of official StarlingX release.

[Starlingx-discuss] [build][meetings] build team meeting minutes 10/18/2018
by Lara, Cesar 22 Oct '18

Build team meeting 10/17/2018 Attendees Jason, Scott, Saul, Abraham , Memo, Hayde, Marcela, Mario, Chuy, Felipe, Erich, Cesar Agenda - Cengn status for external mirror - Use cases review/discussion - Opens Cengn Status - Waiting for access to bare metal server, once we have access we will start populating the mirror. Use case review/discussion - We will start with mail sent to ML by Jason[1], this will address most use cases coming from WR developers that have been working on StarlingX the most, Mexico team will meet to find a way to implement these use cases in code to feed the Stxb tool, this proposed mapping will be presented in a follow up session. The intention is to start coding necessary pieces in python, but since there is a concern about too many moving pieces in the build scripts , a full analysis is required to avoid losing functionality, that might lead to keep some of the bash scripting as part of the build tools. Opens - New steps required for build process to generate new kubernetes files and configuration, We will keep an eye on this requirement as is not crystal clear today, but we will need to add this in the near future. - Mexico team refactoring download script on python - probably the best one to start with, we might have a couple of efficiencies on this effort. -As part of multiOS effort we are setting up a Koji instance to work with Clear Linux - there are a complete set of extra instructions to make Koji work as a provider for rpms and ISO files, this will require further discussion, next week we will have Victor Rodriguez which is building up Koji for Clear Linux to give us a walk thru of the system and necessary steps to build the OS.

[Starlingx-discuss] Question - Using 1Gb mem pages
by Perez, Ricardo O 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hello, I'm trying to execute a test, which his goal is to made use of huge pages (2M / 1G) launching a VM. I have already verified the configuration of the controllers GRUB options and we have defined the variable hugepagesz=1G, however, inside the same parameters list, there is a "default_hugepagesz=2M". The default hugepagesz, has been modified to 1G, and the compute has been restarted with no issues. The flavor has been modified, with the following option: " hw:mem_page_size=104875" (1G) page. However when I launch a VM using the modified flavor it creates the VM, but if I check the field values of the VM using " openstack server show <vm_name>". I'm getting the following value for pgsize: wrs-res:topology | node:0, 512MB, pgsize:2M, vcpus:0, pol:sha | So, seems like it's still taking the 2M pagesize instead of the 1G. What I have already tried is to: * Change also the image metadata: hw:mem_page_size=large and also 104875. Result, VM launched successfully, but pgsize value still 2M. * Leave the GRUB default values, and use modified flavor to hw:mem_page_size=104875, launch the VM with ERROR status. * Leave the GRUB default values, and use modified flavor to hw:mem_page_size=2048, launch the VM with success, , pgsize value is 2M, which is expected, ok. * Leave the GRUB default values, and use modified flavor to hw:mem_page_size=small launch the VM with success, , pgsize value is 4k, which is expected, ok. * Leave the GRUB default values, and use modified flavor to hw:mem_page_size=any launch the VM with success, , pgsize value is 2M, which is expected, ok. Could be this an issue trying to use 1G mem pages or do I'm missing some other configuration parameter? Thanks in advance for your help

[Starlingx-discuss] [Feature] Refactor init/config related non-openstack patches.
by Liu, ZhipengS 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hi all, I'd like you to review the feature spec submitted by me for the topic of refactoring init/config related patches. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/612292/ For RPM patches related to adding or changing StarlingX specific systemd service files, configuration files or other types, 1) If they are not overwriting files already delivered by the upstream RPM, refactor and have an specific config rpm that delivers the new file instead of original patch 2) If they need to change files delivered by the upstream RPM, use puppet to change it instead of original patch. Related story is below link https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2003768 Also attached word version FYI. Thx! -zhipeng

[Starlingx-discuss] Anybody know how to create project manually in storyboard?
by Fang, Liang A 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hi I want to do some backport work for stx-cinder, and want to trace the work in storyboard. But stx-cinder project is not in storyboard, do anybody know how to create this? I was told that stx-cinder is not in git.openstack.org, so it has not been created in storyboard automatically. Regards Liang
