===============================================


== Collecting Neutron debug info ==

	* Fetch the scripts to collect Neutorn debug info, and run them

== Known Issues ==

	* ERROR : Error appeared during Puppet run: 192.168.1.13_mysql.pp
	* Error: Could not start Service[mysqld]: Execution of '/sbin/service mariadb start' returned 1: 
		* On Fedora 20, latest version of mariadb-server-5.5.34-3.fc20.x86_64 does not run after installation (unless updated),it fails because /var/lib/mariadb/mariadb.log can not be accessed by mysqld_safe, as it's owned by root:root,so use previous version (-2.fc20), or chown mysql:mysql /var/lib/mariadb/mariadb.log.
		* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1061045
			* workaround before packstack: $ yum install -y mariadb-server && chown mysql:mysql /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
		* The mysql puppet module changes the log file to  /var/log/mysqld.log, but it  does not create it,  the service at start up does not have enough permission to create it
			* workaround before packstack: $ touch  /var/log/mysqld.log; chown mysql:mysql  /var/log/mysqld.log && chcon -u system_u -r object_r -t mysqld_log_t /var/log/mysqld.log
	* F20: multiple swift, neutron and nova-netowork related selinux policy violation: #1061137

== Suggestions ==

	* apevec:Next time I propose to skip testday at m2 - it's still too much flux upstream. m3 is more reasonable, it's feature freeze, +1+1


== Foreman ==   **Should work Only with RHEL6.5 !! **          (  both : Foreman-Server and Foreman-Client) 

1) 'yum install openstacl-foreman-installer'  :  Sometimes  from TLV office we're getting  "no more mirrors" :
Error Downloading Packages:
  1:ruby193-rubygem-activesupport-3.2.8-6.el6.noarch: failure: ruby193-rubygem-activesupport-3.2.8-6.el6.noarch.rpm from foreman: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
  foreman-1.3.2-1.el6.noarch: failure: foreman-1.3.2-1.el6.noarch.rpm from foreman: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
 - try running "yum clean metadata" or "yum clean all" before running yum (beagles)

2)  During run of foreman-server.sh  :   Errors during run of foreman-server.sh -->     
     http://pastebin.com/ipaeacDU
     http://pastebin.com/rp2pYL2z
     
3) During foreman_client.sh (harmless Errors??) 
 a)Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/type/cinder_api_paste_ini.rb]/ensure: change from absent to file failed: execution expired 
 b)Error: Could not retrieve plugin: execution expired 
 c)Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/provider/vcsrepo/cvs.rb]/ensure: change from absent to file failed: execution expired
 d)Error: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib/puppet/type/neutron_network.rb]/ensure: change from absent to file failed: execution expired  
(Bz#1061613)
         
4) During running puppet agent -t -v (on Fedora20 ) : It seems that the puppet used by the foreman-server - attempts to connect to mysql on f20 foreman-client- machines..  (instead of connecting mariadb? )
Error: Could not prefetch database_grant provider 'mysql': Execution of '/usr/bin/mysql --defaults-file=/root/.my.cnf mysql -Be describe user' returned 1: Could not open required defaults file: /root/.my.cnf
  http://pastebin.com/t4jj9L9P   (Bz#1061152)


I've managed to deploy :  foreman-server + neutron-controllr  + neutron-networker + neutron-compute (All against RHEL6.5) 


need to investigate (during foreman_client.sh) : http://pastebin.com/xUZJJG5a
