[Starlingx-discuss] the install progress information has missing when install computer node , storage node, and new controller node

[Penney, Don]

There are multiple components to the progress notifications.

1.       The pxelinux.cfg files have a tisnotify=URL parameter that the patched Anaconda uses as a destination URL for notifications (look in /pxeboot/pxelinux.cfg/ files on the active controller)
tisnotify=http://pxecontroller:6385/v1/ihosts/81adb329-0641-496e-acce-04a9d13cf865/install_progress


2.       Anaconda has a patch (stx-integ/base/anaconda/centos/patches/0001-TIS-Progress-and-error-handling.patch) that adds notification support. While your host is installing, you should be able to access the installer shell and check that the source code is patched, or check the content of the squashfs.img (/www/pages/feed/rel-19.01/LiveOS/squashfs.img)

Example:
controller-1:~/dpenney# ORIG_SQUASHFS=/www/pages/feed/rel-19.01/LiveOS/squashfs.img
controller-1:~/dpenney# mkdir squashfs.mnt
controller-1:~/dpenney# mount -o loop -t squashfs $ORIG_SQUASHFS squashfs.mnt
controller-1:~/dpenney# mkdir LiveOS
controller-1:~/dpenney# cp squashfs.mnt/LiveOS/rootfs.img LiveOS/
controller-1:~/dpenney# umount squashfs.mnt
controller-1:~/dpenney# mkdir squashfs.work
controller-1:~/dpenney# mount -o loop LiveOS/rootfs.img squashfs.work
controller-1:~/dpenney# cd squashfs.work
controller-1:~/dpenney/squashfs.work# ls usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/tisnotify.py
usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/tisnotify.py
controller-1:~/dpenney/squashfs.work# cd ..
controller-1:~/dpenney# umount squashfs.work


3.       Sysinv records the install_progress notification in the database as install_state, whether it's a string state or a number (percentage)


4.       The dashboard reads and displays the install_state, with a progress bar if it's a percentage (stx-gui/starlingx-dashboard/starlingx-dashboard/starlingx_dashboard/dashboards/admin/inventory/tables.py)



If your installer rootfs (squashfs.img) doesn't have the patch, you won't get notifications. Similarly, if the restructured dashboard isn't loading this properly, you won't see a progress bar.

+ Yan: is this something related to stx-gui?

Hi Expert;
Issue descript :
===================================================================================================================================
That greetings from intel NPG's  Zhiwei, Now we try to using STX version of "stx-2018-11-13-nova-ibrs.iso", to enable computer node , ceph storage node etc
Has a issue happens with "no any install progress information when the install node ", even install controller node, ceph storage node and computer node etc, fail , just show status is offline,
It seem the install progress information has missing and progress status bar does not show on web page.
Only have install success then will show "availability        | online   "
The issue does not happen in titanium cloud 18.09.

Issue logs:
