<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I recently ported Kolla (OpenStack running in containers <a href="http://github.com/stackforge/kolla">
http://github.com/stackforge/kolla</a>) and found the following defects:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">1. Glance has missing dependencies in its package</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Specifically +RUN yum -y install openstack-glance python-oslo-log</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">python-oslo-policy && yum clean all</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Is needed to get glance to operate. Oslo-log and oslo-policy should be</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">added to the dependencies. You wouldnšt notice this on an AIO install</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">because other packages probably have those packages as dependencies.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">2. Neutron for whatever reason depends on a file fwwas_driver.ini which</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">has been removed from the master of neutron. But the agents will exit if</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">its not in the config directory. I used junošs version of</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">fwaas_driver.ini to get the agents to stop exiting.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">3. The file dnsmasq-neutron.conf is misconfigured in the default</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">installation. This causes the neutron agents to exit. I delete the file</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">during docker build which fixes the problem. Išm not sure what this</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">config file is supposed to look like.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">4. A critical bug was found in both Juno and Kilo versions of nova. If I</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">launch approximately 20 Vms via a heat resource group with floating ips,</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">only about 7 of the Vms get ports assigned. The others do get their ports</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">assigned because they can access dhcp and metadata server, so their</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">networking is operational. Neutron port-list shows their ports are</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">active. However nova-list does not show their IPs from the instance info</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">cache.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">My only workaround to this problem is to run the icehouse version of nova</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">(api, conductor, scheduler, compute) which works perfectly. I have filed</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">a bug with a 100% reliable easy to use reproducer and more details and</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">logs here:</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1213547">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1213547</a></div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Interestingly in my informal tests icehouse nova is about 4x faster at</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">placing Vms in the active state as compared to juno or kilo, so that may</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">need some attention as well. Just watching top, it appears neutron-server</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">is much busier (~35% cpu utilization of 1 core during the entire ->ACTIVE</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">process) with the juno/kilo releases.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Note I spent about 7 days trying to debug this problem but the code</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">literally calls IP assignments in about 40 different places in the code</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">base, including exchanges over RPC and python-neutronclient, so it is very</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">difficult to track. I would appreciate finding a nova expert to debug the</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">problem further.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">Other than those problems, RDO Kilo RC2 looks spectacular and works</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas;">perfectly in my dead chicken testing. Nice job guys!</div>
