Sanity Status & Limited Merges

- Two issues were awaiting re-test as of May 21 - waiting for sanity team to confirm issues are resolved
    - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1828059 - ceph cinder volume failed
    - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1829299 - SRIOV and Multus images not pulled from local mirror registry
    - Christopher confirmed that the above two sanity issues are fixed. 
- New issue reported by sanity
    - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1829941
    - A better description of the issue is that: After a swact, cannot login to controller-0
    - Sanity hasn't reached this point in a while, so don't know when this was an issue previously
    - Action: Christopher to update the bug with additional info and interface configuration
    - We will continue to investigate, but agreed that we wouldn't hold up merges for this bug.
- One sanity issue may have been reproduced in WR lab
    - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1828896 - Application-apply failed due to error copying secret ceph-pool-kube-rbd
    - not reported for Intel sanity team since fix merged. Christopher confirmed that he hasn't seen this.
    - reproduction in WR was seen on AIO-SX only, not on other configs.
    - Intel sanity has been waiting about 5mins after the controller comes up 
- Any other critical / high severity bugs impacting sanity or load stability?
    - From Bruce -- Ada indicated that she has passing sanity for simplex and duplex. A report to be sent out shortly.
    - From Numan
    - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1829931 - only seen on Duplex
    - https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1829933 - only seen on Force Reboot on Duplex
    - Action: Do initial triage to see what the issue is. These issues are likely present in previous loads as well.
    - Agreed to not block merges, but continue to investigate as high priority.

Virtual Environment Sanity

- Saul has asked about this. Any comments from the sanity team?
- From the test team: The plan is to start the virtual sanity again today and run regularly.

Allowing Code Merges

- How do we ensure future commits don't affect stability?   << Thoughts from the community >>
    - How did we get here? How were the current sanity issues introduced?
    - Recent sanity issues were related to ceph upverison, Ansible integration, a variety of other changes
- From Cindy: ceph retrospective would be good once the majority of bugs are triaged/addressed. There are still ~14 bugs open.
    - Better coverage of unit testing is needed. This is a key initiative in stx.3.0 

Installation Wikis Outdated/Broken

- Installation wikis are outdated (i.e. broken) and have a warning that they should not be updated - this needs to be fixed.
- Bart raised this - currently no valid documentation except for AIO-SX 
- Bruce indicated that this is a work in progress 
- per Dariush, Tee has sent the info to the doc team, but the wikis are frozen 
- how to fast track this for the Ansible stuff - Dariush to ask Tee to udpate Wiki 
- Bruce to ask the Doc team about moving this forward as well 

stx.2.0 Milestone-3

- MS-3 is fast approaching -- Date: June 14/2019
- Request for project leads to review their status and come prepared with risks/mitigation plans to discuss in the Thursday StarlingX Release Planning meeting
- Plan Location: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HUwbsaSerzFRuvXVB_qvoGdI0Chx1YiiA2WYHwvIoYI/edit#gid=0
- we'll review in the next Release Team meeting 

stx.3.0 Proposed Timeline / Overlap with stx.2.0

- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZFR-9-riwhIwiBYBmWmi1qOVyHtgJ8Xk_FaF2jp5rY0/edit#gid=0
- See stx.3.0 notes the StarlingX Release Meeting - May 16: https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stx-releases
- Next steps for defining content
- more for discussion in tomorrow's release planning meeting 
- Saul suggested we send a dedicated email about this 
- ask the TSC how far along they are for 3.0 planning (content)
- Action: Ghada to start a specific email thread for stx.3.0 to make it more visible to the community and the TSC -- DONE
