Hello, we have been trying to to create an operational RDO/TripleO based Openstack system with disappointing failures and would like to hear from kind folks that have successfully built such an environment. At least to make sure that such an approach is possible. We are building exclusively on CentOS 7 with Rocky release and 4 bare metal machines (undercloud, controller, compute, storage). We follow the installation manual found on the TripleO site ( http://tripleo.org/install/index.html) and using the RDO/CentOS repositories for Rocky. Unfortunately we cannot get passed the "openstack undercloud install" stage. We have attempted several times always starting from scratch and receive ERROR and FAIL debug messages at different stages. Of course all those messages are too cryptic to make any sense (to us) and I would appreciate if someone could help. We could provide install log files but at this stage we are looking to make sure that such an install is possible. thank you, best wishes -- Andreas Kasenides Senior IT Officer Dept. of Computer Science, University of Cyprushttp://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~ank Tel: 22892714, Fax: 22892701 _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)lists.rdoproject.org http://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users To unsubscribe: users-unsubscribe(a)lists.rdoproject.org

I'm not aware of big issues blocking Undercloud installation on Rocky. Installation should work as it passes in CI and we are doing extensive testing at this stage. +1 please provide the logs and/or details of the error, and also the undercloud.conf you're using, information about the physical network configuration, along with exact details of the repos you have enabled. Then we can hopefully help figure out what is going wrong. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)lists.rdoproject.org http://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users To unsubscribe: users-unsubscribe(a)lists.rdoproject.org

Hmm that step("sudo yum install -y https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7/current/python2-tripleo-repos-<ve...) can confuse users as they don't know what <version> to use and will required to manually get version by tracing the url, Following can be used: sudo yum -y install --repofrompath=tmp,https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7/current/ --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=tmp python2-tripleo-repos @Alex wdyt to use ^^ in docs?

@Andreas, Just to be exact the issue u faced with centos-rocky packages, Following is the commit that is in stable/rocky but not in centos-rocky mirror:- https://github.com/openstack/puppet-ironic/commit/0ed395e5887b12c44e50b5b...

- the network is pretty much standard from the manual and is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x57_tmMU9yOaJlFFepn3-gNASTR-oI1R/view?us...

- repos are enabled with: sudo yum install centos-release-openstack-rocky

These error pointed me to this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1647001 which I am not sure that is exactly relevant.
