Hello,
We currently plan to upgrade our Openstack setup from Icehouse to Juno or
even Kilo. This also includes a version upgrade on the host based OS from
Centos 6.6 to 7.x
I have some questions regarding the upgrade an hope to learn from your
experience.
First question is, is there a Openstack version compatibility guaranteed
within the different releases? The idea behind it to upgrade the different
services (compute nodes / management nodes) in separate phases.
Second, is the live-migration with block-migrate feature compatible between
versions. One upgrade solution we currently playing with is to move existing
VMs with live-migration & block-migrate (no shared storage) to fresh
installed Centos 7 Kilo compute nodes.
Any best practice tips highly appreciated!
Cheers,
Chris

That's a huge shift for one step! I suggest you split the OS and
Openstack upgrades into separate phases to simplify the job. I also
don't think upstream supports upgrades that skip a release or two. It
may work, but that's not guaranteed.

The usual assumption is that we support backwards compatibility for
one release, so you can stage your upgrades. Note that you should
first upgrade controller services, then agents/computes, not vice versa.

Hello,
Here some more insights and questions:
We have in total 4 separate clouds who need the upgrade with each more than
100 compute nodes. We just use the basic services like nova, keystone,
neutron, glance and horizon. No Cinder, heat, trove etc. Our network setup
is flat provider network, which means we don't use the neutron router. All
in all the from the openstack service perspective a minimal setup.
One of our cloud is set up as HA with two management nodes (keystone, nova,
horizon, glance) behind a haproxy. It's not a big deal to have the same
setup implemented in all clouds if it's helpful for the upgrade
We don't think about upgrading from Centos 6 to 7. Instead build new Centos
7 compute nodes and move the VMs with live migration (is it a good idea?)
The database schemes changes between the openstack versions, what does it
affect? Let's say we set up a second management node wit Centos 7 and the
openstack Juno/Kilo services will it work against the Centos 6/Icehouse
compute nodes and the Icehouse DB schema?
Cheers,
Chris

It definitely won't work with old schema for most services (nova can
be a single exception, with their support for live data migration).
There is currently no way to run a mixed version setup of management
services. The only mix that is expected to work now is a setup where
management services (those services that have access to database) have
higher versions than agents/compute nodes do (it's expected that RPC
used between management nodes and compute/networking nodes is backward
compatible for at least one major release).
Note that skipping a major version in staged upgrade is not guaranteed
to work (meaning, you should avoid running Icehouse computes against
Kilo controller).
