Re: [Starlingx-discuss] Deployment Improvements Proposal
by Hu, Yong 14 Dec '18

Hi Matt, How will this improvement proposal impact those configurations done by puppet? As well, as to the proposal of system inventory improvement, you mentioned other BM attributes (Type, IP address, Credentials). Do we expect something more than PXEboot setting done in BIOS on the host in advance? Regards, Yong From: "Peters, Matt" <Matt.Peters(a)windriver.com> Date: Friday, 14 December 2018 at 3:41 AM To: "starlingx-discuss(a)lists.starlingx.io" <starlingx-discuss(a)lists.starlingx.io> Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] Deployment Improvements Proposal Hello, Attached are the slides I presented during the TSC call on Dec 13, 2018 for the proposed improvements to the StarlingX initial bootstrap and system inventory. As indicated on the call, a detailed stx-spec will follow, but wanted to share the high-level changes being proposed before the arrival of the spec to get some early feedback. Regards, Matt

Agenda & Notes for 12/12 meeting: 1. minor kernel version upgrade to 3.10.0.957 (Shuicheng/Martin) storyboard: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004521 installer update: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004516 (this is depends on 2004521) Martin is currently working on kernel upgrade. Patch rebase for both std and rt kernel will be finished by this week. Will do testing on bare metal deployment. Will ask GDC for testing before merge. 2. preperation for CentOS 7.6 upgrade status (Shuicheng) storyboard: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004522 49 sRPM to be upgraded (+ 2 kernels). hundreds RPMs needs to be upgraded. out-of-tree kernel drivers are not included yet - need to check and see how many drivers need to be upgraded. Saul comments: Dean mentioned yesterday, general Openstack enablement in CentOS 7.6 with RPMs. no validated CentOS with Openstack yet. May need to verify if CentOS 7.6 + Vanilla Openstack work or not, before we port any additional patch. 3. Ceph upgrade status (Vivian/Dehao/Changcheng) Dean merged all the build process patche (on staging stx-ceph and Changcheng finish rebasing all patches according to latest stx-ceph (stx/v13.2.2). totally 17 PRs New PR: https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-ceph/pull/18 pending for review. We could build out ISO with below patch list patch list: 1. https://github.com/starlingx-staging/stx-ceph/pull/18 2. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/619460/11 3. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/619463/8 4. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/619465/7 5. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/620449/ 6. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/624085/ 5 & 6 are used to be base version and make ceph patches effect in build (Please use ceph_13_2_2.xml as the manifest file) Submitted 2 PR to staging. Dean reviewed them and merged stx/v13.2.2 branch. Those PR has no impact to other stx module. Current base build is still using the master branch. Other 4 patches are in openStack gerrit review. Image has been build based on the current patch porting. Still cannot work as expected. still working w/ WR to debug the problem under StarlingX system. Ovidiu is working w/ Changcheng to debug the issue. @Changcheng, Please continue work with Ovidiu to debug the issues. Changcheng/Dehao: 1st priority will need to make dedicated storage working w/ new Ceph. Once Ceph is working w/ dedicated storage on controller-config, Frank would like to try the containers. all-in-one simplex already working, dedicated storage is working but not stable. @Mingyuan will help to try Simplex first and then dedicated storage w/ old Ceph. 4. Python2to3 status, flocks and OS packages (Austin) focus on flock service upgrade, still working on stx-discloud; stx-distcloud-client, stx-nfv, stx-integ and stx-config. for other Os packages, out of 436 packages, we still find 73 packages do not have Python3 transition activities. 5. Qemu 3.0 branch switch (Ghada/Jim) Code merged as of Dec 10 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/623045/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/622583/ no pending patches. eveything is in!

[Starlingx-discuss] [build] CentOS 7.6 rebase into feature branch
by McKenna, Jason 14 Dec '18

14 Dec '18

Hi build team, particularly reviewers, I'm starting to see some code reviews come through which have to do with the rebase to CentOS 7.6. When these come through, please ensure they are against the feature branch and not the "master" branch. I do not see the feature branch yet created, but I'm assuming it will be called "f/centos76". There is an AR to creates the branch pending (meeting minutes "Notes: Weekly StarlingX non-OpenStack Distro meeting, 12/5"). -Jason

[Starlingx-discuss] Creation of OSF Project Confirmation Guidelines
by Claire Massey 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Hi everyone, As you know, StarlingX is a pilot project supported by the OpenStack Foundation (OSF). As such, we wanted to make sure you’re aware of an effort recently kicked off a sub group of the OSF Board of Directors to draft guidelines[1] for confirming pilot projects as full, top-level, open infrastructure project of the Foundation. The current pilot projects that will be eligible for confirmation review in 2019-2020 are Airship, Kata Containers, StarlingX and Zuul. Currently the OpenStack project is the only confirmed project. The discussion about drafting these guidelines is just getting started, and *we invite you to participate in this effort* by reviewing the working draft in this etherpad and adding in your feedback and thoughts starting on line 139: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BrainstormingOSFProjectConfirmationGuideli… <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/BrainstormingOSFProjectConfirmationGuideli…> There will most likely be an open call scheduled in early 2019 where additional feedback will also be welcomed. I will share that invitation with you once it’s schedule. The goal is to come up with a set of points that the Board can use when reviewing pilot projects for confirmation. This topic has previously been discussed at a very high-level at previous Board meetings, including the September 18th meeting[2] (starting around slide 38). 1. https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ProjectConfirmationGuidelines <https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ProjectConfirmationGuidelines> 2. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10UyCpxkjPqC3kT-dYRpBxzNT39i2OhlggJv… <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10UyCpxkjPqC3kT-dYRpBxzNT39i2OhlggJv…> Thanks, Claire

During config_controller, the suite copy a Config file from host to StarlingX system. Robot uses SSHLibrary keyword, such keyword uses sftp service to perform the transfer file. Such transfer failed due to sftp service is not working on the system. Launchpad open: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1808054 Regards. Juan Carlos Alonso

[Starlingx-discuss] removing link capacity configuration during controller config
by An, Ran1 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Hi All: I am working on bug [1] removing "link capacity of interface" configuration in config_controller, config_validator and config_gui. Reason: the link capacity is set to 10G only when doing traffic control[2], it is unnecessary to input 'link capacity' during controller configure. Impact: 1) all 'link capacity' related configure input option is removed. 2) it is compatibility with old *.ini configure file: when "INTERFACE_LINK_CAPACITY=10000", it is compatible. For other values, you will see following errors: "Invalid link-capacity value for XXX". Relax. Just edit "INTERFACE_LINK_CAPACITY" to 10000 and retry "config_controller". Feel free to reply if you any idea about this. Any response is welcome. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1805320 [2] https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2003087 Thanks Ran
