He works for networking-ovn openstack project 15:36:22 <Amir_m> I've documented everything so that reproducing the environment from Centos installation until sfc creation will be easy 15:36:47 <trinaths> ok. 15:37:26 <Amir_m> also as a side I was reading the resources you pointed out in our last meeting, but didn't want to disrupt the devstack+sfc environment 15:37:39 <trinaths> agree. 15:38:00 <trinaths> but you can spawn another vm and try ovn+cn setup 15:38:26 <Amir_m> I installed the devstack on physical machine 15:38:46 <trinaths> Amir_m - oops. any reason for that 15:38:54 <Amir_m> I will try spawning a VM 15:39:11 <Amir_m> for the OVN+CN 15:39:36 <trinaths> ok. 15:39:39 <Amir_m> not a specific reason 15:39:43 <trinaths> ok. 15:40:37 <trinaths> For our MS1 we need to do PoC on Apex Installer based environment. So we need to document the diff - what is required to push ovn+sfc into apex installer. 15:41:50 <Amir_m> any recommendation about the start point in this regard 15:42:04 <Amir_m> ? 15:42:09 <trinaths> yes. Last time when you tried Apex installer based setup. 15:42:25 <trinaths> what are your finding for OVN upgrade ? 15:42:51 <Amir_m> it was mainly the OVS version that doesn't support sfc 15:43:13 <Amir_m> and our many trials that failed to install OVS from John's repo 15:43:18 <trinaths> ok. 15:43:37 <trinaths> how are they successful today in our devstack environment ? 15:43:49 <Amir_m> it was very smooth 15:43:53 <trinaths> ok. 15:44:07 <Amir_m> I did the following modifications to the local.conf file: 15:44:33 <Amir_m> - Added (unicomminted and edited) OVN_REPO=https://github.com/doonhammer/ovs OVN_BRANCH=sfc.v30 - Uncommented this line OVN_BUILD_MODULES=False 15:45:08 <trinaths> With this guidance, we need to bringup new ovs and sfc on Apex environment. 15:45:36 <trinaths> As I see with your project page, #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=13210692 15:46:22 <Amir_m> Do you mean doing so in cooperation with the apex team? 15:46:34 <trinaths> community collaboration might get slower since we need to align with their roadmap to integrate our PoC and gain support from Apex Installer for our new scenario 15:46:52 <trinaths> yes - in collaboration with apex team. 15:47:25 <trinaths> #action trinaths - To add JIRA tickets in APEX project regarding OVS changes and PoC. 15:48:38 <trinaths> #action Amir_m - To submit detailed setup and PoC documentation to ovn4nfv project for gerrit review. 15:48:58 <Amir_m> using Devstack? 15:49:42 <trinaths> for now let it be devstack. We will merge the docs when Apex based instructions are available 15:49:51 <Amir_m> okay 15:50:20 <Amir_m> the detailed doc is already available as I said above 15:50:28 <trinaths> #action Amir_m - replicate ovn-sfc on Apex environment. 15:50:44 <trinaths> okay. 15:51:08 <Amir_m> I think this is the time to start reading about apex integration, right? 15:51:15 <trinaths> true said. 15:51:39 <trinaths> but parallely ovn-cn-vm scenario too. 15:51:51 <Amir_m> okay :) 15:52:37 <trinaths> yes. we have our backlog and MS1 still in progress. 15:52:57 <trinaths> :) 15:53:36 <trinaths> #action Amir_m - Understand Apex installer fundamentals and integration required for OVN-SFC scenario. 15:55:33 <trinaths> Okay. 15:55:38 <Amir_m> okay 15:56:00 <trinaths> Amir_m - Is your university lab ready ? 15:56:39 <Amir_m> I didn't contacted the sys admin, as I was satisfied by the machine I bought 15:57:04 <Amir_m> But it should be ready, I will contact him to make sure it is ready 15:58:14 <trinaths> Since, for installing the setup with Apex installer, you need a high end machine as you have at your university. 15:58:44 <Amir_m> yes, I understand 16:00:04 <trinaths> ok. please enquire about its status. so that we can complete that task too.. 16:00:15 <Amir_m> sure 16:00:26 <trinaths> I think we are on track now with our tasks. 16:00:55 <Amir_m> I'm happy to read these words from you :) 16:01:40 <trinaths> :) really. 16:02:15 <Amir_m> of course, it was a series of disappointments every time a trial fails 16:02:32 <trinaths> ok. Lets move with same confidence and finish ovn-cn-vm too.. so that we can collaborate with apex team. 16:02:58 <Amir_m> okay 16:03:19 <trinaths> I have nothing more to discuss. Lets meet next week with some progress on action items. please let me know you have some thing to discuss else we can end this meeting. 16:03:35 <Amir_m> sure 16:03:44 <Amir_m> I nothing at my end 16:03:49 <Amir_m> thanks for your time 16:03:59 <trinaths> ok. 16:04:25 <trinaths> please continue with conquering the action items. 16:04:38 <Amir_m> ok 16:04:38 <trinaths> thanks for the excellent work. 16:04:46 <trinaths> #endmeeting
