This is correct.

You will be automagically migrated to the new list, and from then on you
should send emails to openst...@lists.openstack.org, not anything with
'launchpad' in it :)

Pro Tip: ensure your email client filters are updated for the new list,
if necessary.

The work going on is documented at
https://etherpad.openstack.org/mailmain-migration-notes if you have
interest.

Re: [Openstack] why did openstack choose ceph (and not glusterfs)

[Tom Fifield]

Hi,

Community Manager here - just confirming - "OpenStack" has not "chosen 
Ceph". Not sure where that information is coming from - got a blog link 
so we can fix any confusion? :)

Tom

Hello,
I apologize if this email causes some kind of subjective ruckus, but
frankly I don't care (sorry etiquette) since it will resolve a
reasonable question that isn't clearly answered on the web.

Why did openstack choose ceph and not glusterfs. There doesn't seem to
be a lot of (good) information on how/why to choose one over the other,
and I'm sure most folks do a proof-of-concept to figure this out, but it
doesn't seem like a lot of information has been shared on the matter.

That being said, OpenStack is a large open source project that has
decided to use this storage platform (big decision). Why and how did the
technical architects for OpenStack come to this decision (blog post
would be awesome, wasn't able to find one Googling).

Re: [Openstack] How can I recover my VM on a broken hardware?

[Tom Fifield]

You might be interested in reading the Maintenance, Failures, and 
Debugging chapter of the OpenStack Operations guide.


Specifically " Compute Node Failures and Maintenance" in:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-ops/content/maintenance.html

Good luck!

My question is now, I have a VM1 is running on compute-node1, and
compute-node1 is down due to power problem. How can I recover VM1 on
compute-node2 and still can be managed by OpenStack?

My network is Quantum.

Thanks.

Re: [Openstack] Does cell support qpid

[Tom Fifield]

I could also be very wrong here, but my impression was while most of 
nova does work in that way, I believe cells is a special case and only 
really supports rabbitmq right now...

Tom


On 03/06/13 22:01, Endre Karlson wrote:

What I'm writing here might be uncorrect but here goes.

I think the Qpid support is just to change the config parameter in
nova.conf to the class that has Qpid no?.

I think the "support" is handled in the different api classes and not at
the MQ transport library level.

Re: [Openstack] Reg: Compute node resources sharing Clarification

[Tom Fifield]

It sounds like you need something like ScaleMP 
(http://www.scalemp.com/products/selective-scaling/).


OpenStack treats servers as servers - it won't magically combine CPUs 
from different machines to form a single VM.

Tom

FWIW, NeCTAR uses nova-network in flat DHCP multihost HA mode without
problems. As Chris says, each site needs separate IP ranges though :)

Re: [Openstack] [openstack-community] OpenStack Teacher /Student Certification

[Tom Fifield]

Hi all,
(apologies to the many lists - I'm not sure if all of you are
interested, but wanted to keep the original CCs just in case)

I'm also working on content for a masters-level course involving OpenStack.

Since so many are interested, perhaps we should have a meeting to
discuss aims and potential pooled efforts? (or just start an etherpad?)

It's important to note that there are different levels at which this can
be pitched. That is, from teaching until being 'able to use' an
OpenStack cloud, through to being 'able to develop' the middleware - and
at various degrees within each level. Of course, a lot of content is
common and any such academic effort should see how it ties in with the
recent questions about training material. Perhaps the first step is to
collate our various plans and see where compatibilities are ?


Regards,


Tom

Re: [Openstack] Thanks for using DocImpact

With Havana development starting, we're already seeing some DocImpacts 
coming in - thanks for those!


We want to sure we catch all those removals, deprecations and pent-up 
updates that tend to come in at the beginning of the cycle.


So, as usual:

"""
 If your commit could have an impact on documentation - be it an
 added/altered/removed commandline option, a deprecated or new feature, a
 caveat, if you've written docs in the patch, or if you're just not sure
 - there's a way to let us know.

 => Just add "DocImpact" to a line in your commit message.

 This sends us an email so we can triage. It doesn't guarantee docs will
 be written, but at least it gives us visibility of the changes.
"""

We're now receiving a steady stream of useful information on changes

Developers,


We need your help.

In the face of the 500 contributors to the code base, those small
handful of us working on documentation are losing the war.

One of the worst pains we have right now is that we're not getting
information from you about the changes you make. We just don't have the
people to review every single commit on every single project for its
impact on documentation.

This is where you can make a difference.

If your commit could have an impact on documentation - be it an
added/altered/removed commandline option, a deprecated or new feature, a
caveat, if you've written docs in the patch, or if you're just not sure

Thanks for reading.

As always - if you have any time to write/fix docs, we've more than one
hundred bugs waiting for your contribution . . .

[Openstack] Documentation - Push for Grizzly

[Tom Fifield]

Hi all,

We need your help to get the documentation up to scratch for grizzly.

Please see if there is anything you can address from the list at:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+milestone/grizzly

55 bugs ready for your work
59 completed so far, 8 in progress

Thanks to the efforts of everyone who used DocImpact, for the first time
we actually have a reasonable list of changes between Grizzly and Foslom
to document - which is triaged into the above link.

The docs process follows the same GerritWorkflow as the code, and uses a
pretty straightforward XML syntax (
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Documentation/Conventions ). If the
syntax, or maven build is giving you pain - submit what you have for
review and we'll fix it.

If you hate writing - perhaps instead, pick your favourite topic at
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/ and nitpick for correctness ;)

For any help, please grab us at #openstack-doc,
openstack-d...@lists.openstack.org, or feel free to contact me direct if
you don't feel comfortable.

Indeed. Cells right now supports the centralised quotas that Glaucimar
needs, but doesn't deal with situations where certain projects have
quotas on certain cells.

Re: [Openstack] Glance with S3 backend

I'll take the blame for the S3 backend miscomment - apologies - I have
updated the book online.

In exchange, I would, however, be interested in where those typo and

[Openstack] Thanks for using DocImpact

[Tom Fifield]

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop a quick note on the list to say thanks to all who
have gone to the effort of using the DocImpact flag in your commit messages.

We're now receiving a steady stream of useful information on changes
that affect the documentation, and logging and targeting them[1][2]. The
aim is that as Grizzly is released, the manuals should be much more up
to date than in previous releases.

Of course, the workload[3] is still a struggle, so any help[4] fixing up
docbugs is much appreciated :)

Thanks again for your efforts!

Regards,


Tom, on behalf of the docs team

[Openstack] Running other services on swift nodes

[Tom Fifield]

Hi,

This came in as a doc bug, but I thought I'd throw it to the list:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/988053

"I think it would be worthwhile to talk about what services can be
co-located on the same servers as Swift. For example "Can I run Keystone
in combination with Swift Proxy and Swift Storage?""

example other potential combo that "might not break": glance / swift proxy

I think this is most relevant to small-scale deployments, where there
isn't quite enough hardware to go around, rather than anywhere
approaching best practice ;)


Realistically expecting "this is a terrible, terrible idea" replies to
this, but perhaps reasons, and the odd outside-the-box idea will be
presented ...

Tom

[Openstack] Action Required: Use DocImpact flag when commits might impact docs

[Tom Fifield]

TL;DR - If anything you submit could have an impact on documentation,
just add "DocImpact" to a line in your commit message.

Developers,


We need your help.

In the face of the 500 contributors to the code base, those small
handful of us working on documentation are losing the war.

One of the worst pains we have right now is that we're not getting
information from you about the changes you make. We just don't have the
people to review every single commit on every single project for its
impact on documentation.

This is where you can make a difference.

If your commit could have an impact on documentation - be it an
added/altered/removed commandline option, a deprecated or new feature, a
caveat, if you've written docs in the patch, or if you're just not sure
- there's a way to let us know.

=> Just add "DocImpact" to a line in your commit message.

This sends us an email so we can triage. It doesn't guarantee docs will
be written, but at least it gives us visibility of the changes.


Thanks for reading.

As always - if you have any time to write/fix docs, we've more than one
hundred bugs waiting for your contribution . . .


Regards,


Tom, on behalf of the docs team.

Re: [Openstack] Cells Status

[Tom Fifield]

Along this type of line, I know we've talked about it before.

But is cells the right way that we want to go? Not that it isn't, but
possibly at the summit we can talk about it in detail before pushing it
into trunk.


Given the overflowing room of people who turned up to the last summit to 
talk about Cells, the enormous amount of positive feedback there, the 
fact it's been so delayed and that the code is already ~done and being 
used in production in some instances, waiting to get it into trunk 
(which is already becoming more and more difficult to do) seems like a 
suboptimal idea.


By all means, discuss the methodology, propose an excellent new idea, 
code it up and rip cells out then. However, knocking back something 
that's this far advanced just seems a little cruel for both those who 
worked so hard, and the deployers who have been screaming for it :)


In NeCTAR's case (perhaps in Rackspace and HP's case before us?), we 
can't wait, we're happy with Cells and we're going live with it whether 
it's in trunk or not. However, it would really, really, really, really 
make it easier to make an awesome OpenStack-based cloud if it was in 
trunk :)

Tom

Ok.  This took a lot longer to resolve than I expected, but here we go:

https://github.com/comstud/nova/tree/cells_service

This is rebased against trunk and contains a bunch of new things since
the last branch:

Random fixes for things that trunk broke with cells (deleting instances
for one)
RPC versioning (Thanks to Brian Elliott!)
Split Replies and Bandwidth Updates into their own queues to better deal
with them
A number of admin API extensions modified to support cells (Thanks to
Dragon, Alex Meade, Brian Lamar, Matt Sherborne, et al)
Snapshots/backups query glance in API cell (Thanks to Iccha)
Handle quotas in API cell  (Thanks to Johannes for fixes!)

Things are rapidly getting more kludgy because of changes in trunk that
don't have any consideration for cells (because cells is not in trunk!).
  I'm hoping we can get this into an acceptable shape such that we can
get it merged ASAP.

Hello,
I have gone through the document numerous times trying to configure
keystone - mistyping keys, wrong key value, missing steps, etc (error
prone). I was looking forward to using the script, as it would save a
lot of typing/pain for a newcomer. However, if there are no plans to
document the script (including adding a name / email to the Readme file
to contact for issues in the script), test, and keep it updated (synced)
with each new release of OpenStack(keystone), then I feel it is best to
remove mention of it from the document.
While at it, the document also mentions a bash script to configure
keystone, which I have not tried. If the bash script suffers from the
same issue, maybe worthconsidering removing it from the document also.
The above are just my opinions.

I find it odd that the document describes two approaches for configuring
keystone -- one being a relatively undocumented, scripted approach not
managed or distributed by OpenStack. Surely these two approaches will
continue to evolve seperately and we'll experience more issues such as
this one.

Anyone have any objections to removing this "scripted configuration"
section in favor of focusing on the existing "manual" approach?

No worries, that's what a second set of eyes is for!

By specifying a token and endpoint, you're bypassing the
authentication process that your curl command is performing.

You can test authentication with the keystone client using:

$ keystone --os-username=adminUser --os-password=secretword
--os-tenant-name=adminTenant
--os-authurl=http://10.0.2.15:35357/v2.0
 token-get

But as Anne pointed out, you don't have a tenant named
"adminTenant". You'll also need to make sure you've granted a role
to your user on the specified tenant for authorization to succeed.
You can remove the tenant name argument from the token-get call to
test authentication without authorization (therefore without
requiring anything but a valid user in your keystone install).

[Openstack] Cells Status

[Tom Fifield]

Hi all,

As Chris is a rather busy guy, I've taken the liberty of putting up a 
blueprint and wiki page for Nova Compute Cells.


https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-compute-cells

http://wiki.openstack.org/blueprint-nova-compute-cells

NeCTAR's got to have this feature working well before year-end, and 
recently Sam Morrison and the team at the University of Melbourne have 
been working to try and iron out some of the kinks (security group and 
access key propagation) from Chris' current branch. The plan is to move 
forward and try and update the code from the comstud repo and the local 
changes here to get them into master asap.

Depends on what you mean. There may not be a PHP native API, but you
could use http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforphp/

Ta. 'What I mean' is probably just the functionality to start and stop 
VMs. Straightforward enough that direct HTTP calls to implement that 
should be fine, but if there was something out there which already has 
the functionality that'd be lovely :)


I've had a play with the AWS SDK, and it needs a bit of work to patch in 
the endpoints, painful but doable. However, the preference is to go 
OpenStack native if possible ...

I traced this through the code at one point looking for the same
thing. As it stands, right now there is **not** a mechanism for
customizing the default security group’s rules. It’s created
programmatically the first time the rules for a project are
retrieved with no hook to add or change its characteristics.

I’d love to see this be possible, but it’s definitely a feature
request.

  Really agreed. I have created a blueprint to track this issue:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/default-rules-for-default-security-group


At NeCTAR, rather than modifying the default group we create 3 new 
groups (SSH, ICMP, HTTP/S) for the tenant at the time of tenant 
creation, and found this to be a reasonable compromise between security 
and convenience. This has its issues of course, but perhaps the 
blueprint could be extended to cover the creation of new groups, as well 
as modifying the existing default one . . .

__ __

Hi all,

__ __

Could I ask how to set the default rules for the 'default' security
group for all the users in openstack? Currently, the 'default'
security group has no rule by default, thus newly created instances
could only be accessed by instances from the same group. 

__ __

Is there any method to set default rules(such as ssh or icmp) for
the 'default' security group for all users in openstack, so that I
don't have to remind the new users to modify security group setting
the fist time they logged into openstack and create instances?  I
have ever tried HP could which is built on openstack, they permit
ssh or ping to the instances in the 'default' security group. 

__ __

Best Regards.

I've learned that port 5000 (which Keystone is using for it's
default public-token-auth stuff) is commonly blocked by many
firewalls, as it's been registered as a Microsoft uPnP port.

I thought I'd go ahead and propose changing the default to 8770. I
picked this number because it's close to the Nova ports in common
use (8773, 8774, 8775, and 8776).

And yes, I'll submit updates to all REST docs, XML docs, devstack,
and the code.

So... how many people do I need to worry about murdering me for this

Re: [Openstack] Identity API v3 - Why allow multi-tenant users?

[Tom Fifield]

Just to echo Tim's comments here about the research space - we certainly 
have this requirement over in NeCTAR (Australia's national cloud for 
research).


Australia actually has entire institutions setup to work in this mode - 
helping out multiple universities simultaneously with software 
development et al, and it's certainly a common case with our OpenStack 
cloud.

  For example, when you are finishing work on a previous project but are

As we move towards domain/tenant/user, we need to ensure that the

tools support multi-tenant per user. Correct accounting is critical.


This does require extra code but it is relevant given the use cases.


What you are describing strikes me as a single tenant with multiple projects.
It is similar to a corporate environment with multiple departments.

I am seeing a major problem here when the tenants are truly separate and
the only possible administrator in common is the service provider.

Re: [Openstack] I18n issue for OpenStack

[Tom Fifield]

A good idea to separate into two parts, however I fear that the current 
English strings don't serve the first role as well as first appears. 
This has to do with the pre-processing we do on error strings to make 
more accurate searches and error report titles.


A quick, very artificial example:

"Unable to get service info: Malformed request url"

As English speakers, we can look at this and see that "Unable to get 
service info" is what happened, and "Malformed request url" is why.


So, knowing that there are probably many possible reasons for 'why' we 
were "Unable to get service info", we might chop this part out of our 
search term, or when we ask for help - and indeed you can see an example 
of this in a title here: 
https://answers.launchpad.net/horizon/+question/190188


In other languages sometimes the sentence order is much different. For 
example, in Chinese, that error could be written something like:


因为错误格式的请求URL所以无法获得服务信息

As a Chinese speaker, you know what this says and you can work out the 
'why' and the 'what' in your search term.


As a non-Chinese speaker, you're stuck putting the whole thing into your 
search engine and hoping that no-one chopped off or changed the 
structural elements of the sentence such as 因为 and 所以.


So, perhaps the part that can be used for searches and bug reports 
really does need to be 'locale-independent'. Complex system of 
impossible to understand error numbers, anyone? ;)

Tom

Both points of view being expressed about this with respect to log error
messages are valid and need to be accommodated.
An answer, as was suggested a while back, is for error messages to have
two parts:

1. A locale-independent part that can be used for searches or understood
by developers who get logs as parts of bug reports.
2. A localized part that lets operators determine if the problem is
their issue or an OpenStack bug to be reported.

The current English string would serve the first role, and the logging
code could be changed to also emit the localized string if available. I
would argue
for this only in the case of ERROR messages and not DEBUG.

While on the subject of logs, it would be good to agree on what actions
should cause errors in logs to appear. Ideally, they would only occur if
an OpenStack bug
was detected (out-of-bounds array ref, etc.) or some operational problem
occurred (disk ran out of space, etc.). Right now errors are sometimes
output for other
reasons such as bad arguments to api calls. This makes it difficult for
an operator to know when a real problem with the system has occurred.

Dear OpenStack friends,

In China, OpenStack community is very active. I heard many Chinese
engineers talking about their wish to have a Chinese versioned
openStack, including documentation's, manuals, user interfaces, error
messages, etc in OpenStack meet-ups.
I have many European friends and also Danish friends, since I used to
do my university there. They all spoke perfect English, which made me
admire, cos they were linguists in my point of view. Oriental
languages are different. They are "too far" from the western lingual
system. In China, there are many talented engineers, who are not that
kind of "linguists", but they are lover of open source. I think it is
amazing to open the "door" to them. In China, it is very appreciated
for software to be localized as much as possible.
I used to google or baidu(a famous Chinese search engine) error
messages and logs in Chinese for other software, though it is not
Apache. I found a lot of useful references in Chinese, because it has
been localized. If it is not localized well first, of course it does
not have the google or yahoo ability to search.:-)
So far I am rather grateful for all the messages following this i18

Hi again everyone,

I have tried s3fs and there are some problems, can anyone that have
tried s3fs with swift help me solve this ?

The first problem is that s3fs have a format for the password store file
(may be) incompatible for using swift authentication. s3fs password file
have a format like: accessKeyId:secretAccessKey. S3fs use colon symbol
to get ID and secret key, but Swift ID have a format like system:root,
so if I using s3fs password file, it will be: system:root:testpass. S3fs
will not establish an connection to Swift because S3fs can not get ID
and key from above format. :(

I try environment variable for ID and secretkey for solving this, but it
is uncomfortable if I have multiple account. When using environment
variable, I got the second problem. It is when I use s3fs command to
mount folder via https connection, s3fs give me error: "s3fs: curlCode:
60 msg: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA
certificates". I think there may be an error in configuration of curl or
something else, so I disable https and use http instead of. Then s3fs
give me error: "Authenticated failed", via log I got "Feb 12 14:34:35
swift s3fs: ### CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST
Feb 12 14:34:37 swift s3fs: ###retrying..." :( I can not understand why
because I can authenticate and using via Cyberduck successfully.

I'm using fuse 2.8.6, s3fs lastest version and my command is: s3fs

* S3Fox uses the new sub-domain based buckets, which aren't supported in 
OpenStack
* s3cmd should work with the Eucalyptus patches (but I'm failing to get
