Description Mike Burns 2016-03-09 23:35:51 UTC

Description of problem:

With the release of OSPd 8, we'll have the ability to manage older versions of the overcloud.  The support matrix is as follows:

OSPd 8.0 will support updating OSP 7.0.4 and later overclouds to the latest 7.0.z updates.

OSPd 8.0 will support deploying the latest 7.0.z overcloud (>=7.0.4)

OSPd 8.0 will support scaling operations of 7.0.z overclouds >= 7.0.4

Important notes:  

Users must update their undercloud/overcloud to at least 7.3/7.0.4 prior to upgrading the undercloud to 8.0.  There will be no support for managing an overcloud older than 7.0.4 in OSPd 8.0.

Deployments with tuskar will need to stay on OSPd 7.3.  There is no support for tuskar in OSPd 8.0

Jarda, can you confirm scope above?

Comment 3 Dan Macpherson 2016-05-03 03:30:36 UTC

Hi Mike,

I think we've already discussed this, but the support matrix is here:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-openstack-platform/8/director-installation-and-usage/chapter-10-upgrading-the-environment

Are there any further changes required for this item?

Comment 4 Mike Burns 2016-05-03 16:41:04 UTC

looks good to me.
