Re: [rdo-users] TripleO installation failures

[Andreas Kasenides]

  
  
Coming back to this. Thank you everyone
  that commented and provided a way out. 

The main problem was the use of the
  wrong RDO repos. We now have a working installation and are
  beginning its further configuration and use.

I believe that the documentation needs
  to be clarified and be more explicit on how to deal with the
  Openstack RDO repos. With an abundance of Openstack install
  methods there is a lot of confusion on how to get started and what
  to use. 



Thank you all
Andreas

  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

Re: [rdo-users] TripleO installation failures

[vladimir franciz blando]

Hi Andreas,

Looking at https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7/current/ I see that there
is a python2-tripleo-repos-0.0.1-0.20181218212820.a5b709e.el7.noarch.rpm
.
Is this the one?
- I use that one

Also since current can move, you can also do it this way via ansible:

https://github.com/mwhahaha/ansible-ovb/blob/master/roles/undercloud-repo-setup/tasks/tripleo-repos.yml

with tripleo_repos_repo_file_url is the delorean.repo out of current/
or current-tripleo

Re: [rdo-users] TripleO installation failures

[Andreas Kasenides]

Thank you Steven, than you Alan.
There was much confusion on our part as to which repos to use. As a 
dedicated (purist) CentOS group we thought that the CentOS Cloud SIG 
repos were more appropriate. Alas!!

So we will redo the system from scratch and see how it goes.
thank you again
best wishes
Andreas

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

as shardy mentioned, this is CentOS Cloud SIG repo not covered by
TripleO docs and CI.
tl;dr SIG repos build from tagged upstream releases while RDO Trunk
builds every commit from upstream stable branches,
see http://rdoproject.org/what/repos/ and for more details
https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2016/04/new-in-rdo-repos-one-size-doesn-t-fit-all/

In this case puppet-ironic has few patches past their latest Rocky
upstream release 13.3.1:
http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/puppet-ironic/log/?h=stable/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.

If it is, https://trunk.rdoproject.org/centos7-rocky/current-tripleo/
should have the fix from stable/rocky branches.

Either way, I agree error messaging could be nicer, hopefully TripleO
UI will address that eventually!

Cheers,
Alan

This may be the problem - you should use the tripleo-repos tool to
ensure the latest/correct RDO repos are enabled, I don't think we
document centos-release-openstack-rocky anywhere in the tripleo docs?
