High Priorities
===============
Neutron event processing (vdrok, vsaienk0, sambetts)
----------------------------------------------------
- status as of 27 Sep 2017:
- spec at https://review.openstack.org/343684, ready for reviews, replies
from authors
- WIP code at https://review.openstack.org/440778
Routed network support (sambetts, vsaienk0, bfournie, hjensas)
--------------------------------------------------------------
- status as of 15 Jan 2018:
- hjensas taken over as main contributor from sambetts
- There is challanges with integration to Placement due to the way the
integration was done in neutron.
Neutron will create a resource provider for network segments in Placement,
then it creates an os-aggregate
in Nova for the segment, adds nova compute hosts to this aggregate. Ironic
nodes cannot be added to host-aggregates.
I (hjensas) had a short discussion with neutron devs (mlavalle) on the
issue:
http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-neutron/%23openstack-neutron.2018-01-12.log.html#t2018-01-12T17:05:38
There are patches in Nova to add support for ironic nodes in
host-aggregates:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/526753/ allow compute nodes to be
associated with host agg
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/529135/ (Spec)
- Patches:
- https://review.openstack.org/456235 Add baremetal neutron agent
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/533707/ start_flag = True, only
first time, or conf change
- https://review.openstack.org/524709 Make the agent distributed using
hashring and notifications (WIP)
- https://review.openstack.org/521838 Switch from MechanismDriver to
SimpleAgentMechanismDriverBase
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/532349/7 Add support to bind type
vlan networks
- CI Patches:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/531275/ Devstack - use neutron
segments (routed provider networks)
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/531637/ Wait for
ironic-neutron-agent to report state
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/530117/ Devstack - Add
ironic-neutron-agent
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/530409/ Add dsvm job
Rescue mode (rloo, stendulker, aparnav)
---------------------------------------
- Status as on 15 Jan 2018
- spec:
http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/approved/implement-rescue-mode.html
- code: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1526449+status:open
- ironic side:
- All patches are up-to-date, being actively reviewed and updated
- Tempest tests based on standalone ironic is WIP.
- nova side:
- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-rescue-mode:
approved for Queens; waiting for ironic part to be done first. Queens feature
freeze is week of Jan 22.
- To get the nova patch merged, we need:
- release new python-ironicclient
- update ironicclient version in upper-constraints (this patch will
be posted automatically)
- update ironicclient version in global-requirement (this patch
needs to be posted manually)
- code patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/416487/
- If we don't land this code (at least the API) this week, highly
unlikely the nova part will land before next week's FF.
- CI is needed for nova part to land
Clean up deploy interfaces (vdrok)
----------------------------------
- status as of 9 Jan 2017:
- patch https://review.openstack.org/524433 ready for reviews
Zuul v3 jobs in-tree (sambetts, derekh, jlvillal, rloo)
-------------------------------------------------------
- etherpad tracking zuul v3 -> intree:
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-zuulv3-intree-tracking
- cleaning up/centralizing job descriptions (eg 'irrelevant-files'): DONE
- Next TODO is to convert jobs on master, to proper ansible. NOT a high
priority though.
- (pas-ha) DNM experimental patch with "devstack-tempest" as base job
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/520167/
Graphical console interface (pas-ha, vdrok, rpioso)
---------------------------------------------------
- status as of 8 Jan 2017:
- spec on review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/306074/
- there is nova part here, which has to be approved too
- dtantsur is worried by absence of progress here
- (TheJulia) I think for rocky, it might be worth making it a prime
focus, or making it a background goal.

- spec under active review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/496481/

- docs: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/525501/
OpenStack Priorities
====================
Python 3.5 compatibility (Nisha, Ankit)
---------------------------------------
- Topic:
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:goal-python35+NOT+project:openstack/governance+NOT+project:openstack/releases
- this include all projects, not only ironic
- please tag all reviews with topic "goal-python35"
- TODO submit the python3 job for IPA
- for ironic and ironic-inspector job enabled by disabling swift as swift is
still lacking py3.5 support.
- anupn to update the python3 job to build tinyipa with python3
- (anupn): Talked with swift folks and there is a bug upstream opened
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/401397 for py3 support in swift. But this is
not on their priority
- Right now patch pass all gate jobs except agent_- drivers.
- we need to make the ironic job voting eventually. but we need to check that
nova, glance and neutron already have voting python 3 jobs, otherwise they may
break us.
- nova seems to have python 3 jobs voting, here are our patches:
- ironic https://review.openstack.org/#/c/531398/
- ironic-inspector https://review.openstack.org/#/c/531400/ MERGED
Deploying with Apache and WSGI in CI (pas-ha, vsaienk0)
-------------------------------------------------------
- ironic is mostly finished
- (pas-ha) needs to be rewritten for uWSGI, patches on review:
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507011/ +A
- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/507067 Needs revision
- inspector is TODO and depends on
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1525218
- may be delayed to after Queens, as the HA work seems to take a different
direction
Split away the tempest plugin (jlvillal)
----------------------------------------
- https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/ironic-tempest-plugin-migration
- Current (8-Jan-2018) (jlvillal): All projects now using tempest plugin code
from openstack/ironic-tempest-plugin
- Need to remove plugin code from master branch of openstack/ironic and
openstack/ironic-inspector
- Plugin code will NOT be removed from the stable branches of
openstack/ironic and openstack/ironic-inspector
- (jlvillal) 3rd Party CI has had over 3 weeks to prepare for removal.
We should now move forward
- README, setup.cfg and docs cleanup:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/529538/ MERGED
- ironic-tempest-plugin 1.0.0 released
Subprojects
===========
Inspector (dtantsur)
--------------------
- trying to flip dsvm-discovery to use the new dnsmasq pxe filter and failing
because of bash
:Dhttps://review.openstack.org/#/c/525685/6/devstack/plugin.sh@202
- follow-ups being merged/reviewed; working on state consistency enhancements
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/510928/ too (HA demo follow-up)
Bifrost (TheJulia)
------------------
- Also seems a recent authentication change in keystoneauth1 has broken
processing of the clouds.yaml files, i.e. `openstack` command does not work.
- TheJulia will try to look at this this week.
Drivers:
--------
DRAC (rpioso, dtantsur)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Dell Ironic CI is being rebuilt, its back and running now (10/17/2017)
OneView (ricardoas, nicodemos, gmonteiro)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Re-submitting reverted patches for migration from python-oneviewclient to
python-hpOneView + python-ilorest-library
- Check weekly priorities for most import patch to review
Cisco UCS (sambetts)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Currently rebuilding third party CI from the ground up after it bit the dust
- Patches for updating the UCS python SDKs are in the works and should be
posted soon
.........
Until next week,
