Goals
=====
Make nova flexible with ironic API versions (TheJulia)
------------------------------------------------------
Status as of 23 APR 2018:
(TheJulia) No update this week. Alternatively existing functionality could
be used. The rescue patch for nova might end up landing with a version list.
I've checked with some nova folks and they are on board with that option as a
short term compromise.
(TheJulia) We need python-ironicclient reviews which would be required to
do this
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/557850/
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/558027/
Storyboard migration (TheJulia, dtantsur)

Redfish OOB inspection (etingof, deray, stendulker)
---------------------------------------------------
- sushy Storage API -- https://review.openstack.org/#/c/563051/1
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/ Rebase/update required
- 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
- Rescue mode standalone tests:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/538119/ (failing CI, not ready for reviews)
- 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) Posted https://review.openstack.org/554673
- code patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/416487/ Needs revision
- 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)
-------------------------------------------------
- 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
====================
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.
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,
