The full logs are available at http://ircbot.wl.linuxfoundation.org/meetings/opnfv-armband/2016/opnfv-armband.2016-03-25-14.14.log.html . Meeting summary --------------- * Alex Avadanii (Enea) (AlexAvadanii1, 14:14:20) * latest ISO built from our repos deploys and passes ostf (self-tests) on non-HA setup, with ODL; HA setup is currently redeployed, seems to work fine too so far (AlexAvadanii1, 14:15:46) * Can Enea give an update on B-release deployment (bobmonkman, 14:15:51) * we are able to able launch VMs without any manual intervention (AlexAvadanii1, 14:16:25) * still refining some UX stuff, like web-browser VNC, or misleading failing tests (AlexAvadanii1, 14:16:53) * Joe, please confirm that Brahameputr deploy HA scenario with SDN works fine (bobmonkman, 14:17:01) * the HA deploy has ODL, does it not? (joekidder, 14:17:19) * there are some expected fails with HA self-tests, since gic v3 does not yet support migrate (not upstream in kernel, nor in qemu for now) (AlexAvadanii1, 14:17:25) * joekidder: yes, HA deploy with ODL, what is left testing there is ceph (AlexAvadanii1, 14:17:41) * thanks, alex. (joekidder, 14:17:53) * wel I think HA is orthogonal to ODL or no ODL (bobmonkman, 14:18:05) * team, i believe this means we can declare that Brahamutra reference stack on ARM officially deploys!!! (bobmonkman, 14:18:52) * if you were to grab the latest armband git repo and the latest linux.enea.com packages, you should get a fully working ISO; some minor patches are still refined, but they do not prevent a succeful deploy with Fuel (AlexAvadanii1, 14:19:04) * Testing phase now and congrats to the team (bobmonkman, 14:19:27) * yes, we still need to run functest and assess the results, but the deloy is working. Great milestone (bobmonkman, 14:20:13) * the rest of the team may not have known this earlier (bobmonkman, 14:20:34) * so what does pushing to gerrit mean? Please elaborate (bobmonkman, 14:21:27) * Currently we are working on gitlab repository that I've created. From time to time we're pushing to opnfv gerrit when we have quasi-stable state (StanKardach, 14:22:15) * we used an internal repo, which we migrated to armband repo (gerrit) as squashed patch-sets (AlexAvadanii1, 14:22:25) * current armband repo is 2-3 commits behind internal repo, mostly fixing UX issues (AlexAvadanii1, 14:22:47) * OK, so bringing into an opnfv established repo...thank you (bobmonkman, 14:23:08) * yes, please give Stan rights to armband, this is why gerrit is lagging :) (AlexAvadanii1, 14:23:13) * bob - do you need me to re-send you and aric (?) the committer votes? I have them in my inbox (the votes were all public, so I'm not sure what the issue is). (joekidder, 14:23:58) * apologies. I have opened to ticket to reflect the vote, but the project has asked for the email approval trail, which I will do today, then Stan will be official committer along with other two (bobmonkman, 14:24:29) * anyone using linux.enea.com: keep in mind this is Amazon EC2, if you can use a local mirror of that, we would greatly appreciate it, thank you (AlexAvadanii1, 14:24:33) * We'd need official space to host all the packages that we've prepared. EC2 is not the most cost-effective way (StanKardach, 14:25:18) * Can I please get an update on connecting to Jenkins? How is that process going? (bobmonkman, 14:26:48) * josep: can you give jenkins update? (joekidder, 14:28:00) * bobmonkman: there are two tracks, deploy and buiild. I have been looking at the different configuration files required for deployments, but I am not there yet (josep, 14:29:28) * Josep: So do you have what you need to keep going or is there a blocker? (bobmonkman, 14:30:54) * bobmonkman: I'll need help from fuel (josep, 14:31:49) * bobmonkman: but I don't see any obvious blockers (except maybe that the deploy script uses ipmitool, which won't work great on some targets) (josep, 14:32:34) * but I have not come that far yet to tell (josep, 14:33:01) * OK, Joe I assume can help facilitate that and then do we have any idea of how long we expect the process to be to get started tetsing under Jenkins? (bobmonkman, 14:33:03) * some aarch64 "servers" do not support out-of-band power control - e.g. APM (AlexAvadanii1, 14:33:14) * @Alex: so is there a way around such limiitations as cannot run ipmi on a given box? (bobmonkman, 14:34:18) * I want to get some sort of estimate as to when we could be ready with Jenkins, please (bobmonkman, 14:36:05) * simple workaround is a network power switch, as that's what most of ipmi is used for (I believe) in this setup - to reboot machines. (joekidder, 14:36:11) * Can we get a Functest update as well? (bobmonkman, 14:36:23) * bobmonkman: in our case, we might have something, as we use some powercontrollers that support SNMP, and we can power-on/off the targets with those, but it's not a universal solution (AlexAvadanii1, 14:36:56) * bobmonkman: as far as I've seen, the deploy script powers on/off the targets, and uses ipmi for that. It also sets the default boot order this way (josep, 14:37:06) * for virtual deployments it uses libvirt, though (there is a class abstracting all this) (josep, 14:37:59) * , so it appears we wil have to request a change to the deploy scripts for targets that do not support ipmi (bobmonkman, 14:38:00) * this is something we could contribute if necessary, I believe (josep, 14:38:50) * there is no workaround for boot order though, not without adding a serial controller to the setup, which again, we do have in our lab, but not an universal solution (AlexAvadanii1, 14:38:53) * ...ok something to note as to how to work with Octopus team or whomever to decide how to handle power cycle and boot order more generically (bobmonkman, 14:40:16) * bobmonkman: hard to give a time estimate for jenkins, but not by next week (josep, 14:40:48) * OK, josep....we will revisit in 2 weeks. No meeting next week due to holiday break. (bobmonkman, 14:41:29) * ,, Ciprian please use #info so we capture in minutes bot (bobmonkman, 14:45:58) * unfortunately I had near zero success in running on Fuel 8, I had multiple problems in my way (ciprian-barbu, 14:46:16) * I encountered a few bugs as well, I had to spent time debugging (ciprian-barbu, 14:46:23) * I had a problem with the network setup in the lab, I could only run functest on POD1, which turns out has a problem with libvirt (ciprian-barbu, 14:46:33) * I thought the libvirt problem was solved? (bobmonkman, 14:47:05) * yesterday Magnus from IT solved the connectivity problem to POD2, so I managed to actually start working on that (ciprian-barbu, 14:47:09) * I am continuing with this, I've been delayed so far (ciprian-barbu, 14:48:22) * to be clear, Ciprian, you are seeing failures on Functest, when running Fuel 8 based deploy, that you were not seeing before on Fuel 6? (bobmonkman, 14:48:33) * no, there were a few minor things, keystone client has been deprecated and that was an easy fix (ciprian-barbu, 14:49:26) * but in fact I wasn't able to run functest at all on Fuel 8 (ciprian-barbu, 14:49:48) * in fact, I tried to run, but I bumped into this issue that seems like libvirt related (ciprian-barbu, 14:50:52) * I'm not 100% sure about it, could be something else (ciprian-barbu, 14:51:04) * OK, team, lets cme up with a plan for the next 2 weeks to help find out why Functest will not run. This is central to connecting to Jenkins and being in CI loop (bobmonkman, 14:51:57) * Joe, can you please work with the team to get on top of this? (bobmonkman, 14:52:49) * yep. (joekidder, 14:52:56) * ACTION: Bob will send IT the committer vote log and committer drop confirmations (bobmonkman, 14:54:09) * ACTION: Joe will work with the team to get over Functest issues (bobmonkman, 14:54:40) * Next team meeting will be 2 weeks from today. I will be out for the holiday week and will check in early in the week of April 4 (bobmonkman, 14:56:06) * we would need a bit of help with DHA/DEA files (StanKardach, 14:56:12) * we can't seem to find documentation on them and they seem vital in understanding how the deployment testing works (StanKardach, 14:56:40) * @StanK: Could this be an Octopus item? Fuel? (bobmonkman, 14:57:26) * I'm almost sure it's not Mirantis related but rather OPNFV-Fuel related (StanKardach, 14:58:03) * I'm not sure if it's present in other installers as I'm not familiar with them (StanKardach, 14:58:24) * OK, I suggest sending a question to the list asking for help. (bobmonkman, 14:58:47) * ACTION: Stan to ask Fuel team for help on documentation of DHA/DEA procedures (bobmonkman, 15:00:17) Meeting ended at 15:02:00 UTC.
