Description of problem: I did the introspection on my nodes and did a successful deployment. Then I needed to modify the number of logical drive on my ceph node (from 7 to 6 logical drive). Before redeploying, I wanted to run the introspection manually on the 6 nodes concerned by this modification. The ironic node-show command show a non up to date extra field with still 7 disk. But when we look at the swift object associated to this node, we can see that this one is up to date. So we have a difference between what is displayed by ironic command and what is stored in the swift object. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I am deploying with OSPD 7.2 How reproducible: Was reproducible for all my 6 ceph nodes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do instrospection 2. Modify the hardware disk configuration (moved from 7 to 6 logical drives) 3. Run introspection manually 4. Notice with ironic node-show command that the extra field is not updated. Find the step by step info here : http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/351450 Actual results: The information displayed in the extra field is not updated with the new introspected information. The swift object linked to the node is correctly updated Expected results: the extra field should display the correct information about the node. Additional info: You can find a step by step demonstration of the bug here : http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/351450 We can have a correct value if we set the extra field value to empty with the following command : ironic node-update ac2cad36-2ffd-4509-b51c-51c89fd09e74 replace extra='{}' result : +------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | target_power_state | None | | extra | {} | Now, if we re run an introspection it will update correctly this field : openstack baremetal introspection start ac2cad36-2ffd-4509-b51c-51c89fd09e74 ironic node-show ac2cad36-2ffd-4509-b51c-51c89fd09e74 +------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Property | Value | +------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | target_power_state | None | | extra | {u'on_discovery': u'true'} then : extra | {u'newly_discovered': u'true', u'block_devices': {u'serials': | | | [u'600508b1001cddbff263e9d8d23d4233', | | | u'600508b1001c6f0f063af2ebd7818ce6', | | | u'600508b1001cd44cdd1630a8130fc3a2', | | | u'600508b1001c454ea69b9809d710fff2', | | | u'600508b1001ccd0c3314b4e840772cda', | | | u'600508b1001cc834a30f7c1717af1604']}, u'hardware_swift_object': u | | | 'extra_hardware-ac2cad36-2ffd-4509-b51c-51c89fd09e74'}
