[Starlingx-discuss] StarlingX TSC minutes from Feb 3 2021
Feb 3 2021 * Standing Topics
* One open spec : https://review.opendev.org/c/starlingx/specs/+/772079 * [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 * [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"?

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.
