Bugs

Juno-RC1 Potential bugs for an RC2

• https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bugs?field.tag=juno-rc-potential

These are new failures seen in gate:

• • [1] Lock wait timeout adding ipavailabilityranges
  • [2] Lock wait timeout adding ipallocationpools
  • [3] Lock wait timeout adding vip to vips table

These bugs are in nova but are related to neutron. It would be great if we could get neutron reviews on:

• • Merged [4] Remove unneeded call to fetch network info on shutdown - arosen
  • Merged [5] remove unneeded call to network_api on detach_interface - arosen
  • Merged [6] remove unneeded call to network_api on rebuild_instance - arosen
  • Merged [7] Optimize validate_networks to query neutron only when needed - arosen
  • [8] deallocate_for_instance should delete all neutron ports on error - arosen
  • [9] Fix port_security_enabled neutron extension - arosen
  • [10] Fix pre-created ports in neutron from being deleted by nova - arosen

Do we want to fix [11] "unable to get router's external IP when non admin (blocker for VPNaaS)" for Juno?

Docs (emagana)

Open Items for Juno:

• https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/neutron-docs-juno

(Need more volunteers)

High Priority Tickets:

• https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1364283 - Edgar Magana - WIP: Juno
• 2 bugs more but they are vendor specific

• Current list of bugs against neutron docs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bugs?field.tag=neutron
  • (review notes from Ryan Moats during mid-cycle sprint):
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1336888 - this needs to be addressed by Cisco N1K documentation
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1327700 - this appears to be addressed by the existing CLI help text added in the original patch
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1323894 - addressed with https://review.openstack.org/105841 (merged)
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1321320 - addressed with https://review.openstack.org/#/c/106860
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1321037 - it is unclear to me where to document this - should we have specific ODL documentation?
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1278281 - is there a patch for adding the "How to Perform an Upgrade from IceHouse to Juno" chapters to the ops guide? if not, what is the strategy for adding these chapters?
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1259811 - I wasn't able to find a grizzly branch within github, do we have one or is this going to require re-entering the necessary text?
    • https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1327489 - I was unable to find any reference to flows other than troubleshooting in the ops guide and this (imho) doesn't fit there
