Hi Bruce, * [HSC] - Booting Controller-1 over VLAN PXE * trying to leverage an Ironic network to boot StarlingX nodes. * Not sure that PXE boot can be done over a VLAN tagged network (at all). ? Servers they are using support PXE booting over VLAN in the BIOS. * They can see the host in the host list and give it a personality, but then they get an error on the TFTP file transfer * Please send the logs / error messages to the list so the Networking experts in StarlingX can wiegh in We did encounter similar issue while setting up Bare Metal AIO Duplex setup. * Its must to ensure network connectivity is proper. * Ping over mgmt. interface is working between the controllers. Regards, Susendra.

There used to be support in the pre-open source version of StarlingX to support external Ceph clusters but we're not sure that support was released as open source. ? We don't think it's feasible to support external storage clusters joining a StarlingX storage cluster but it could be a new feature to support an external Ceph cluster for a future release. * Is it possible to have a storage network which is separate from mgmt+cluster networks? So that all the storage traffic passes only through that network ? This is also a feasible feature that was previously supported but then dropped due to lack of user interest. It could be re-implemented in a future release * Is there a way to separate client traffic from Storage cluster traffic (running on Mgmt+Cluster Host NW) if we enable Ceph Metadata server on Controller nodes? * What is the upgrade path in a Controller Storage Model :- Will storage data get lost or will it be preserved while Upgrading? ? There is no support in the StarlingX open source project for software upgrades. There are commercial software providers who deliver and support software upgrades e.g. Wind River. * Can someone please take a look at bug 1913043 "StarlingX Provision-Setup Error"? * https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1913043 -----Original Appointment----- From: Zvonar, Bill <Bill.Zvonar@windriver.com<mailto:Bill.Zvonar@windriver.com>> Sent: Wednesday, October 7, 2020 7:57 AM To: Zvonar, Bill; starlingx-discuss@lists.starlingx.io<mailto:starlingx-discuss@lists.starlingx.io> Cc: Wensley, Barton; Jones, Bruce E Subject: StarlingX TSC & Community Call When: Wednesday, February 3, 2021 10:00 AM-11:00 AM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).
