[Starlingx-discuss] Notes: Weekly StarlingX non-OpenStack Distro meeting, 3/13

Wed Mar 13 13:47:30 UTC 2019

Agenda & Notes for 3/13 meeting:
    - CentOS 7.6 merged to Master, review 1st daily test report (Ada)
    LP 1819717 broke the build after CentOS 7.6 branch merged, due to python-betamax is higher. Issue has been fixed in python-keystoneauth1.spec file.
    one successful build from Cengen: http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/master/centos/20190312T163454Z/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso, it may have Ceph deployment issue, and it was fixed by patch https://review.openstack.org/642886, which broke the current tip buld, and now fixed by patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/642943/
    one Intel internal build: http://starlingx-hub.zpn.intel.com/ISO/stx-2019-03-12-172-master.iso
    Recommendation: generate a new build with tip and we should have a good build including 7.6!
    Watching the next daily sanity to see the Master healthy status after 7.6 merge.

    - Ceph upgrade status (Ovidiu/Daniel, Changcheng/Tingjie)
    Milestone#1 finished with feature enabled. Ceph mimic enabled in feature branch working w/ 2+2+2 config. Daniel is now starting on rebasing from master. 
    A list of known issues: 
- mon_max_pg_per_osd needs to be increased
- cinder-volumes pool is not created
- "repo status" lists ceph submodule contents
- missing mgr-restful-plugin pid file
- pools need activation
- need to review release notes jewel -> mimic

Yong is still work in progress to repro success from Daniel from Intel's side.Yong has 2 controller + 2 compute + 2 storage, but Rados-gw was disabled, with Daniel's workaround, it might be possible to enable rados-gw manually.
    we are not yet in instiate OpenStack VM - let's just repro what Daniel has. 
Tngjie deployed 2+2+2 with virtual machine not finished yet. 
Pending task - to improve the build efficiency with Ceph.
Release notes review: Vivian/Tingjie to setup meeting for overal release notes from ceph and understand what's going to impact StarlingX.

    - DevStack update (Dean/Yi)
    The pending patches from Dean have been merge. There will be more changes coming. 
    Yi/Martin have several patches pending review, and have dependencies among each other. Dean is reviewing those patches. 
    2 patches for compilation issues have been merged (metal and nfv). 9 patches under review. Most of the services should be able to brought up: nfv, metal, fault and config.
    Will work on stx-ha after the others merged. it is on top of the dependency chain. 
    two issues: sysInv API broken on Ubuntu Bionic. task created and Martin is on it. 
    mtce-agent service also broken on bionic, Yi is working on it.

    - Opens (all)
    - QAT Driver Upversion: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004901
- The current version used by StarlingX is from July 2017 ( 1.0.3-42)
- Release notes:  https://01.org/sites/default/files/downloads//336211-009qatrelnotes.pdf, latest release is Dec 2018 (1.7.L.4.4.0-00023)
- Need input from the TLs (Brent & Saul) on whether to proceed
Agreed to upversion.
Testing is needed for qat-dh895xcc (pci version) & qat-c62x (more modern on-board)
    -  Remove libvirt/qemu unneded patches: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2005212
           - With the move to nova master, some of the libvirt patches that we have are not required. 
           - This story tracks the removal of those patches and also suggests looking at the remaining patches to see if any others can be removed.
           - Any concerns from the TLs (Brent & Saul) with doing this?  Jim Somerville is ready to take this on.
           Agreed to go ahead with this. This is low risk and will reduce our patch maintenance cost moving forward.
