Current Status
- Reporting disabled
We currently run 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. 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:
- 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.
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.
- Random network issues may cause Jenkins to abort few runs with channel disconnect error. DNS/network problems are not common to happen. PowerKVM team is trying to debug this issue. Please recheck-pkvm.
- Devstack errors during stack.sh run. Please check logs/devstacklog.txt.gz.
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 (in sync with upstream): Jenkins, Nodepool, and Zuul. Jenkins plugin reflect upstream levels.
