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.

[HSC] - Queries Related to Storage Node:
-
Can we integrate a pre-deployed Ceph storage cluster (already created by us) with the existing StarlingX Dedicated
Storage Model, rather than StarlingX deploying its own Storage nodes.
§
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"?
