Description of problem: I was working on a customer installation of OSP Director today, and the requirement was raised for a system management network that spanned all hosts. This network would be used for SSH connectivity, monitoring, and devops work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure overcloud network 2. 3. Actual results: There is no option for a system management network. Expected results: This is a clear customer requirement. Additional info: We should really try to get this into 7.1, I think we're probably going to feel some pain since we won't have this in GA. Perhaps a PM should even take a look and evaluate if we need this for GA.
Upstream review to add system management network: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/199800/
The original upstream patch was abandoned in favor of this newer patchset: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/216912/
Patch merged in master, needs to be backported to stable liberty
Downstream review: https://code.engineering.redhat.com/gerrit/65730
We tested a multi-node overcloud deployment utilizing the management network and after getting a type error I noticed that the ManagementNetValueSpecs parameter was set to the wrong type (string instead of json). I have already made the change in gerrit: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/309468/ with a cherry pick for stable/liberty here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/309549/1
