Current Status

  • Reporting DISABLED (Network Infrastructure under maintenance)

PowerKVM CI currently runs Openstack Icehouse release. Jobs have Fedora 20 as base image and report logs to Softlayer's Swift Service at http://dal05.objectstorage.softlayer.net/v1/AUTH_3d8e6ecb-f597-448c-8ec2-164e9f710dd6/pkvmci. Logs expiration time is 3 months. See Improvements section for more details.

Projects

Production

Currently the following projects are being tested by PowerKVM CI:

  • Nova

Development

These projects are under testing internally (in a separate zone) and will be added to production environment soon:

  • Nova
  • Devstack
  • Tempest

Skipped Tests

The list of tests that currently fail is being compiled and will be added here soon. The list includes known issues, tests under investigation, and not supported features with eventual limitations for QEMU/Libvirt hypervisor on ppc64 platform.

Debugging PowerKVM Failures

In order to determine root cause for failures on PowerKVM runs, follow these steps:

  • Compare with upstream Jenkins to discard bad patches and known issues.
  • Intermittent failures may happen for one particular test. Do a recheck-pkvm on Gerrit review page.

Known Issues

There are few transient issues which represent 5% of the jobs:

  • MySQL might fail due to known issues on ppc64. See https://www.flamingspork.com/blog/ for more detailed info on these bugs and proposed patches. TEMPEST_CONCURRENCY has been reduced to 1 to mitigate MySQL issues. A custom MySQL will be built.
(OperationalError) (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)")
  • Devstack failures. This issue represents less than 1% of the total builds and it is under investigation.
/opt/stack/new/devstack-gate/devstack-vm-gate.sh: line 346: cd: /opt/stack/new/devstack: No such file or directory

Improvements

  • New upload script (swift_upload.py) has been created and will be shared with community in a blog post.
  • All compute nodes have been upgraded to Openstack IceHouse release.
  • A new controller is setup on x86 machine with Ubuntu. Rabbitmq is the message broker system.
  • MariaDB has been replaced with community-mysql, which reduced significantly MySQL random issues.
  • All CI infrastructure services have been upgraded to latest versions (in sync with upstream): Jenkins, Nodepool, and Zuul. Jenkins plugins also reflect upstream levels.
