Hi Cindy,

I have added you in another email thread about the latest issue we hit on Ceph upgrade.

What we finished, 11 commits have been merged to starlingx-staging/stx-ceph which are majorly addressing the ceph upgrade build process.

What we are working in progress, based on above code base, rebase 30+ patches to generate the build, hit the issue, we are consulting with WR about the suspicion patch to impact the build.

The coming steps include: 1. Solve the build issue to generate ISO 2. Test the ceph status on dedicated storage config.  3. May need WR team to check other configs if doubt the update impact to containerization projects (but I prefer we can accept the upgrade firstly since containerization project still needs last long, too many deltas will stagger the ceph upgrade again and again. ) 4. Rebased patches merging  5. Mexican team to test the build and prove accepted on the upgrade  6. Build team to switch to v13.2.2 on build script, then ceph upgrade can claim to be done.

Since CentOS upgrade is also working in progress, I prefer we can finish the ceph upgrade asap to avoid too many deltas in parallel to be impacted.

Thanks!

Frank,

Ceph upgrade is on staging feature branch and it will not switch over before the full testing done.

@Vivian, can you please share your plan before Ceph v13.2.2 can be switched over?

Thx. - cindy

Dehao/Cindy:

We see the multiple gerrit reviews out for the ceph upversion work and that these are getting closer to being merged.  Ovidiu and I plan to attend the Distro non-Openstack call tomorrow but in case you are trying to merge these today can you answer these questions:

1) What testing has been done with the v13.2.0 to validate that this version of CEPH works with StarlingX?

2) The containerization subproject relies heavily on CEPH, not only for the dedicated storage config but also for the other configs.  Can we get access to one of your loads before this is merged to determine if CEPH on the other configs works with v13.2.0 or if there are issues that need to be addressed?

Frank
