Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
This Packstack update adds parameter validation for CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGES, which accepts the same values and deprecates CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGE_HOSTS. Values of CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGES must be a comma-separated list of paths to devices, for example: /path/to/device

Description John Trowbridge 2014-08-08 21:10:06 UTC
Description of problem:

In RHOS4, we could give a list of storage nodes to the packstack configuration option CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGE_HOSTS. In RHOS5, the CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGES option does not work in the same way.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

packstack Icehouse 2014.1.1dev1220

How reproducible:
Easy to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make 2 nodes to install via packstack (192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2)
2. Set CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGES=192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2 in the answer-file
3. Install via packstack

Actual results:
swift services and loopback device on 192.168.0.1
no swift services or loopback on 192.168.0.2

Expected results:
swift services and loopback on all configured nodes.



Additional info:
Looking at packstack/plugins/swift_600.py this looks like it could be expected behavior. Does this mean this type of setup via packstack is no longer an option?

Comment 2 Martin Magr 2014-08-11 07:43:44 UTC
From RHOS-5+/RDO Icehouse it is no longer possible to install multi-host Swift. So this is not a bug. But be should add a validator on parameter CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGES, which will fail packstack if invalid values (such as IP addresses) are passed. Valid values are paths which should Swift use as storages.

Comment 3 John Fulton 2014-08-11 18:24:52 UTC
Just a comment for clarification, based on my reading of the comments so far. 

* The goal of this bug report is not to get packstack installing multi-host Swift. That is not supported and that's why above it is referred to as not a bug". The status of this bug report is still "new" and "won't fix" for another reason. 

* The bug is that packstack should have printed an error that an IP cannot be set in CONFIG_SWIFT_STORAGES. The code already looks for IP:device pattern, the problem is that it just silently drops the IP. 

If I am misreading the comments to come to the above two conclusions incorrectly, then please clarify. Thanks. --John
