Description of problem: NTP is not setup as part of the install, when using hardware your machines my be off causing services to not report in correctly. a nova-manage service list some service may show XXX because of out of sync time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): A4 How reproducible: Standard install hardware do a date command and not the nodes out of sync Additional info:
It seems that there is some work being done around setting up NTP by the puppet based installers, but will defer to the respective component engineers, as they will be able to provide more info on the direction of this work.
currently packstack does setup NTP if configured in the answer file: # Comma separated list of NTP servers. Leave plain if Packstack # should not install ntpd on instances. CONFIG_NTP_SERVERS= or via command line switch: --ntp-servers=NTP_SERVERS i'm not sure about the other installers, checking that
Randy, could you tell me wich OpenStack Installer are you using?
Red Hat OSP5 is what this bug was written against. I have not checked OSP5 to see if it is still there.
gael created a patch that adds default ntp servers to the packstack variable. there's an ntp class part of puppet's stdlib which should be used by the installers: packstack and staypuft use it so i consider this bug as closed for the openstack puppet modules and change it to packstack.
Packstack has way to set ntpd accross all servers. This bug is invalid. Closing.
We are not using PackStack as part of the install. This is a pure OFI install.
Is this BZ truly against OSP 5, or are you looking to get this added to 6? If the latter, work is underway to improve configuration options, and is being tracked here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1187144 Note this also contains a valid workaround which is similar to what we will likely implement in our solution.
this is really a duplicate of another bug that is private, so moving it back to be verified here.
Oh, and the ask is for OSP 6 (per previous calls with Randy)
Verified: Environment: rhel-osp-installer-client-0.5.5-5.el7ost.noarch ruby193-rubygem-foreman_openstack_simplify-0.0.6-8.el7ost.noarch openstack-foreman-installer-3.0.15-1.el7ost.noarch rhel-osp-installer-0.5.5-5.el7ost.noarch ruby193-rubygem-staypuft-0.5.19-1.el7ost.noarch openstack-puppet-modules-2014.2.8-2.el7ost.noarch The ntp is active and enabled on all hosts. The /etc/ntp.conf and /etc/ntp/step-tickers are identical on all hosts. The time is the same on all hosts.
