Subproject priorities --------------------- bifrost: ironic-inspector (or its client): networking-baremetal: networking-generic-switch: sushy and the redfish driver: Bugs (dtantsur, vdrok, TheJulia) -------------------------------- - Stats (diff between 12 Mar 2018 and 19 Mar 2018) - Ironic: 225 bugs (+14) + 250 wishlist items (+2). 15 new (+10), 152 in progress, 1 critical, 36 high (+3) and 26 incomplete (+2) - Inspector: 15 bugs (+1) + 26 wishlist items. 1 new (+1), 14 in progress, 0 critical, 3 high and 4 incomplete - Nova bugs with Ironic tag: 14 (-1). 1 new, 0 critical, 0 high - critical: - sushy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sushy/+bug/1754514 (basic auth broken when SessionService is not present) - note: the increase in bug count is probably because now the dashboard tracks virtualbmc and networking-baremetal - the dashboard was abruptly deleted and needs a new home :( - use it locally with `tox -erun` if you need to - HIGH bugs with patches to review: - Clean steps are not tested in gate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1523640: Add manual clean step ironic standalone test https://review.openstack.org/#/c/429770/15 - Needs to be reproposed to the ironic tempest plugin repository. - prepare_instance() is not called for whole disk images with 'agent' deploy interface https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1713916: - Fix ``agent`` deploy interface to call ``boot.prepare_instance`` https://review.openstack.org/#/c/499050/ - (TheJulia) Currently WF-1, as revision is required for deprecation. Priorities ========== Deploy Steps (rloo, mgoddard) ----------------------------- - status as of 19 March 2018: - spec for deployment steps framework: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/549493/ - more reviews welcome; needs update BIOS config framework(zshi, yolanda, moddard, hshiina) ------------------------------------------------------ - status as of 19 March 2018: - Spec has merged: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/496481/ - https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1712032+(status:open+OR+status:merged) Conductor Location Awareness (jroll, dtantsur) ---------------------------------------------- - no update, will write spec soonish Reference architecture guide (dtantsur, jroll) ---------------------------------------------- - status as of 19 Feb 2018: - Dublin PTG consensus was to start with small architectural building blocks. - basic architecture explanation: https://review.openstack.org/554284 - (mostly moves stuff from the user guide) - list of cases from the Denver PTG - Admin-only provisioner - small and/or rare: TODO - non-HA acceptable, noop/flat network acceptable - large and/or frequent: TODO - HA required, neutron network or noop (static) network - Bare metal cloud for end users - smaller single-site: TODO - non-HA, ironic conductors on controllers and noop/flat network acceptable - larger single-site: TODO - HA, split out ironic conductors, neutron networking, virtual media > iPXE > PXE/TFTP - split out TFTP servers if you need them? - larger multi-site: TODO - cells v2 - ditto as single-site otherwise? Graphical console interface (mkrai, anup-d-navare, TheJulia) ------------------------------------------------------------ - status as of 19 Mar 2018: - VNC Graphical console spec: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/306074/ - needs update, address comments - nova blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-vnc-console Neutron event processing (vdrok) -------------------------------- - status as of 19 Mar 2018: - spec at https://review.openstack.org/343684 - Needs update - WIP code at https://review.openstack.org/440778 - code is being rewritten to look a bit nicer (major rewrite), spec update coming afterwards Goals ===== Updating nova virt to use REST API (TheJulia) --------------------------------------------- Status as of 19 Mar 2018: Two phases to implement: 1) Rewrite unit tests away from object usage. (TheJulia) Posted an initial sample of what this will look like to nova. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/553699/ 2) Rewriting the actual calls in the driver to use rest, and then removing python-ironicclient. Storyboard migration (TheJulia, dtantsur) ----------------------------------------- Status as of March 19th - Test instance with some ironic data is available at https://nuc.mirroruniverse.org - Please explore, see TheJulia with questions. - Storyboard team has confirmed that data migrates out of Launchpad without issues, and that our data would be migrated into individual projects in a top level "ironic" project group. - Ironic seems to take 4-6 hours, all other subprojects seem to take 5-20 minutes. Management interface refactoring (etingof, dtantsur) ---------------------------------------------------- - Status as of March 19th: - boot mode in ManagementInterface: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/526773/ Getting clean steps (rloo, TheJulia) ------------------------------------ - Status as of March 19th: - TheJulia to pickup state machine related spec this week and resume. Project vision (jroll, TheJulia) -------------------------------- - Status as of March 19th: - jroll to send email detailing the session this week SIGHUP support (rloo) --------------------- - Proposed for ironic by rloo -- this is done: https://review.openstack.org/474331 MERGED\o/ - TODO: - ironic-inspector - networking-baremetal Stretch Goals ============= NOTE: These items will be migrated into storyboard and will be removed from the weekly whiteboard once storyboard is in-place Classic driver removal formerly Classic drivers deprecation (dtantsur) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - spec: http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/ironic-specs/specs/not-implemented/classic-drivers-future.html - status as of 19 Mar 2018: - switch documentation to hardware types: - api-ref examples: TODO - update https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Ironic/Drivers: TODO - or should we kill it with fire in favour of the docs? - ironic-inspector: - documentation: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/545285/ - enable fake-hardware in devstack: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/550811/ - change the default discovery driver: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/550464/ - migration of CI to hardware types - IPA: https://review.openstack.org/553431 - ironic-lib: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/552537/ - python-ironicclient: https://review.openstack.org/552543 - python-ironic-inspector-client: https://review.openstack.org/552546 - virtualbmc: TODO? - started an ML thread tagging potentially affected projects: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2018-March/128438.html Redfish OOB inspection (etingof, deray, stendulker) --------------------------------------------------- Zuul v3 playbook refactoring (sambetts, pas-ha) ----------------------------------------------- Before Rocky ============ CI refactoring and missing test coverage ---------------------------------------- - not considered a priority, it's a 'do it always' thing - Standalone CI tests (vsaienk0) - next patch to be reviewed, needed for 3rd party CI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/429770/ - localboot with partitioned image patches: - Ironic - add localboot partitioned image test: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/502886/ - when previous are merged TODO (vsaienko) - Upload tinycore partitioned image to tarbals.openstack.org - Switch ironic to use tinyipa partitioned image by default - Missing test coverage (all) - portgroups and attach/detach tempest tests: https://review.openstack.org/382476 - adoption: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/344975/ - should probably be changed to use standalone tests - root device hints: TODO - node take over - resource classes integration tests: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/443628/ - radosgw (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic/+bug/1737957) Queens High Priorities ====================== Routed network support (sambetts, vsaienk0, bfournie, hjensas) -------------------------------------------------------------- - status as of 12 Feb 2018: - All code patches are merged. - One CI patch left, rework devstack baremetal simulation. To be done in Rocky? - This is to have actual 'flat' networks in CI. - Placement API work to be done in Rocky due to: Challenges 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: - CI Patches: - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/392959/ Rework Ironic devstack baremetal network simulation - RFEs (Rocky) - https://bugs.launchpad.net/networking-baremetal/+bug/1749166 - TheJulia, March 19th 2018: This RFE seems not to contain detail on what is desired to be improved upon, and ultimately just seems like refactoring/improvement work and may not then need an rfe. - https://bugs.launchpad.net/networking-baremetal/+bug/1749162 - TheJulia, March 19th 2018: This RFE makes sense, although I would classify it as a general improvement. If we wish to adhere to strict RFE approval for networking-baremetal work, then I think we should consider this approved since it is minor enhancement to improve operation. Rescue mode (rloo, stendulker) ------------------------------ - Status as on 12 Feb 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+OR+status:merged - ironic side: - all code patches have merged except for - Add documentation for rescue mode: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/431622/ MERGED - Devstack changes to enable testing add support for rescue mode: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/524118/ MERGED - We need to be careful with this, in that we can't use python-ironicclient changes that have not been released. - Update "standalone" job for supporting rescue mode: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/537821/ - Rescue mode standalone tests: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/538119/ (failing CI, not ready for reviews) - Bugs: - unrescue fails with partition user image: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/544278/ MERGED - rescue ramdisk doesn't boot on UEFI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/545186/ MERGED - Can't Merge until we do a client release with rescue support (in Rocky): - Tempest tests with nova: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/528699/ - Run the tempest test on the CI: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/528704/ - succeeded in rescuing: http://logs.openstack.org/04/528704/16/check/ironic-tempest-dsvm-ipa-wholedisk-bios-agent_ipmitool-tinyipa/4b74169/logs/screen-ir-cond.txt.gz#_Feb_02_09_44_12_940007 - nova side: - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/ironic-rescue-mode: - approved for Queens but didn't get the ironic code (client) done in time - (TheJulia) Nova has indicated that this is deferred until Rocky. - To get the nova patch merged, we need: - release new python-ironicclient - Done - 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/ - CI is needed for nova part to land - tiendc is working for CI Clean up deploy interfaces (vdrok) ---------------------------------- - status as of 5 Feb 2017: - patch https://review.openstack.org/524433 needs update and rebase 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/ OpenStack Priorities ==================== Mox --- - TheJulia needs to just declare this done. 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. - (TheJulia) It seems we might not have py3 compatibility with swift until the T- cycle. - updating setup.cfg (part of requirements for the goal): - ironic: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/539500/ - MERGED - ironic-inspector: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/539502/ - 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/507067 - inspector is TODO and depends on https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:bug/1525218 - delayed as the HA work seems to take a different direction - (TheJulia, March 19th, 2018) Perhaps because of the different direction, we should consider ourselves done? 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: -------- OneView (???) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Oneview presently does not have a subteam. Cisco UCS (sambetts) Last updated 2018/02/05 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Cisco CIMC driver CI back up and working on every patch - Cisco UCSM driver CI in development - Patches for updating the UCS python SDKs are in the works and should be posted soon ......... Until next week, --rama [0] https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/IronicWhiteBoard
