Packet SIG
Packet.com is a baremetal public cloud, and they have donated some resources to the StarlingX project. The resources are available under the STX-PROJECT-01 project on Packet.com.
StarlingX Distributed Cloud on Packet.Com
As a demonstration of the OpenStack Edge Computing Group's Distributed Control Plane MVP Architecture, StarlingX Distributed Cloud has been deployed on Packet.com.
STX R1 : http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/release/2018.10/centos/2018.10.0/outputs/iso/
Horizon for Central Cloud: http://147.75.105.202
SSH to Central Cloud: ssh wrsroot@147.75.105.202
Packet.com Servers deployed
Networking
Installing the Central Cloud
Blah, blah, blah.
Installing the Sub Clouds
Blah, blah, blah.
Problem Tracking
Problems Found with Packet.com:
- Multi-cast Packets appear to be dropped by Packet.com switches
- Results in StartingX Maintenance reporting a false alarm that it has lost connectivity with other nodes in the StarlingX Cloud. E.g. In Central Cloud, cc-controller-0 claims that it has a heartbeat audit failure with cc-controller-1.
- WORKAROUND: Change maintenance's heartbeat failure behaviour to simply raise an alarm ... rather than declare the node as failed and reset the node.
system service-parameter-list system service-parameter-modify platform maintenance heartbeat_failure_action=alarm system service-parameter-apply platform
- On some interfaces, packets between 1400 and 1500 bytes were dropped by packet.com switch, even though MTU of Interface was 1500 bytes.
- WORKAROUND: set all MTUs to 1400 bytes
Problems Found with StarlingX R1.0:
- config_subcloud would fail if prior to running the command on controller-0 of the subcloud, the mgmt interface was already configured and there were any unreachable DNS servers configured in /etc/resolv.conf
- WORKAROUND: ifdown <mgmt-if-dev> and vi /etc/resolv.conf and remove all DNS Server entries
- HORIZON subcloud 'managed' would fail with some error about JSON
- WORKAROUND: Use CLI to set subcloud to managed
