Hi Devs, I am working on $Subject. Please find the relevant JIRA at [1]
Currently Stratos will assign a floating IP to eth0 if *autoAssignIp* property is set to false in cartridge definition. AFAIU, stratos is using jclouds API to query the available floating IPs, choose one and assign it to the instance. Correct me if this is not the case. In order to support $Subject, I am proposing the cartridge definition as below; { "type":"mysql", "provider":"data", "host":"apachestratos.org", " displayName":"MySQL", "description":"MySQL Cartridge", "version":"5.5", " multiTenant":"false", "portMapping":[ { "protocol":"http", "port":"80", " proxyPort":"8280" } ], "deployment":{ }, "iaasProvider":[ { "type":" openstack", "imageId":"RegionOne/1cd412c1-54ce-405f-9894-ce1387073c6c", " networkInterfaces":[ { "name":"netOne", "networkUuid":" 84d52a6d-a9e5-472a-9935-a0e195fe5b4a", "fixedIp":"10.0.1.4" }, { "name":" netTwo", "networkUuid":"512e1f54-1e85-4dac-b2e6-f0b30fc552cf", " publicNetworkUuids":[ { "name":"externalOne", "networkUuid":" 8f08a69d-cb46-43c9-9ebe-b89dcc78dacc", }, { "name":"externalTwo", " networkUuid":"b5504321-e7aa-4500-9e00-7bc1b10cb5e9", } ] }, { "name":" netThree", "networkUuid":"b55f009a-1cc6-4b17-924f-4ae0ee18db5e", " publicNetworkUuids":[ { "name":"externalThree", "networkUuid":" 83d52a6d-a9e5-572a-9935-a0e195fe5b4r", } ] } ], "maxInstanceLimit":"4", " property":[ { "name":"instanceType", "value":"RegionOne/4" }, { "name":" keyPair", "value":"raj" }, { "name":"autoAssignIp", "value":"false" } ] } ], "loadBalancer":{ "type":"lb", "property":{ "name":"no.load.balancer", "value ":"true" } }} So, I have introduced some additional elements here in networks section. publicNetworkUuids will hold one or many external network UUIDs from where you want to select one IP and assign it the corresponding interface. Let list me three behaviors, as of now, I have identified. 1. If *autoAssignIp* property is *true*, stratos will not do anything regarding floating IPs when creating instances for this cartridge. But openstack will assign a floating IP to the instance. 2. If *autoAssignIp* property is *false*, and you *don't *specify any publicNetworkUuids for any interface, then stratos will assign a floating IP to the 1st interface 3. If *autoAssignIp* property is *false*, and you specify publicNetworkUuids, then stratos will assign floating IPs per interfaces for which you specified publicNetworkUuids. If you specify two publicNetworkUuids for an interface, it will assign two floating IPs to that interface and so on. However, I tried to assign two floating IP addresses to an interface which resulted in the following error. *Error: *409-{u'NeutronError': {u'message': u'Cannot associate floating IP 192.168.17.96 (5691eb81-3153-4ee1-b9d0-31fc84516b03) with port 7e9416ce-5077-44c4-97db-b4b14c10dfc9 using fixed IP 10.0.0.167, as that fixed IP already has a floating IP on external network ba667f72-7ba8-4b24-b360-b74a0211c83c.', u'type': u'FloatingIPPortAlreadyAssociated', u'detail': u''}} I guess we can't assign multiple floating IPs to the same interface from same network. We would be able to assign multiple floating IPs to the same interface from multiple networks. Since I am having only one external network, I couldn't test this. Any idea? Feel free to share your thoughts. 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STRATOS-698 Thanks. -- Raj
