rhel-osp-director: As part of "deploy oc 7.2 from uc 8.0", loading only 7.2 glance images results in:"Required file "./ironic-python-agent.initramfs" does not exist." Environment: openstack-tripleo-0.0.7-1.el7ost.noarch openstack-tripleo-common-0.0.2-4.el7ost.noarch openstack-tripleo-puppet-elements-0.0.2-1.el7ost.noarch openstack-tripleo-image-elements-0.9.7-1.el7ost.noarch instack-undercloud-2.2.0-1.el7ost.noarch openstack-tripleo-heat-templates-0.8.6-94.el7ost.noarch Steps to reproduce: 1. deploy undercloud 8.0 2. get all 7.2 images for overcloud nodes. 3. run "openstack overcloud image upload" Result: Required file "./ironic-python-agent.initramfs" does not exist. Expected result: No errors. W/A: Download and place in the same directory the discovery image for 8.0 and then try to load the images.
W/A: Running: openstack overcloud image upload --old-deploy-image Getting: required file "./ironic-python-agent.initramfs" does not exist. Copying that file to the directory where the images are being uploaded from. Getting: Required file "./ironic-python-agent.kernel" does not exist. Copying that file to the directory where the images are being uploaded from. Running: openstack overcloud image upload --old-deploy-image The images are uploaded.
Folks, the IPA image is a requirement for at least introspection. It's also highly recommended for deployment as well. Some OSPd8 features might not work with the old ramdisk. We probably need to document this better. TL;DR: for deploying oc 7.2 from uc 8.0 you need 8.0 IPA and 7.2 overcloud image.
