Bugs

Let's get in the habit of checking Elastic Recheck and Gate Success Rate at least every day.

Critical Open Bugs currently we have 7, down 1 from last week.

In Progress
- Nachi Ueno https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1112912
  - patch for review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/21946/ with a request to test with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/62702/ which happens to be failing Jenkins
  - what is our way forward here? can we get some focus on 62702 so that is works, Yair Fried or do we move ahead without 62702?
- Maru Newby https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1192381
  - has a patch for review: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/61168/, sending it through check again
- Currently the #1 gate bug: Mark McClain https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1253896, Salvatore, Brent, Don and Dane have also been working on this, it is still an issue: http://bit.ly/1eiUF0z
  - can we have a status update? do you need more information or more attention on this to address it?
Confirmed
- Eugene Nikanorov https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1210483, less frequent but still an issue

Gate Blocking Bugs
- Miguel Lavalle https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1251448
  - this is still showing up. It appears enabling parallel testing might be the answer, can we get a progress report on parallel testing from Salvatore?
- Currently the #2 gate bug: Eugene Nikanorov New bug for tracking https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1254890 timeouts
  - dims reports umount failures go away with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/63304/, can we get some confirmations and reviews on 63304, please?
- Salvatore expects https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+bug/1224001 to be resolved when the patches to enable parallel testing are merged, do we have a gerrit url for neutron parallel testing and a timeline for merging?
- Eugene Nikanorov https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1244255
  - not a gate issue anymore but Joe Gordon suggests we look closely at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/59787/ since it seems to be the only patch hitting this bug

HA- not a lot of new stuff there. Checking in the HA related reviews that were posted last week indicates that while they address HA style scenarios the approach is quite removed from the multihost scenario. Some conversations and investigation last week *seem* to indicate that distributing collocated l3 and dhcp agents on each compute node is tough!

Neutron Tempest (mlavalle)

Parallel Testing (salv-orlando)

Agreement with Sumit Naiksatam to enable FWaaS in the gate after Icehouse 2 to enable development of api and scenario tests
