openstack-ironic-conductor service failing silently with bad config
Last modified: 2016-12-14 10:29:00 EST
Description of problem: When restarting the openstack-ironic-conductor service after modifying the `enabled_drivers` section of the ironic.conf file it failed silently. Adding a duplicate entry, pxe_ssh in this case, resulted in no drivers being enabled after the service restarted. Nothing was reported to stderr but was obvious after checking `ironic driver-list` and noting that there were no drivers enabled Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Easily Steps to Reproduce: 1. from an existing OSPd-7 deployment add a duplicate entry to `enabled_drivers` within /etc/ironic/ironic.conf 2. sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor 3. ironic driver-list Actual results: +---------------------+----------------+ | Supported driver(s) | Active host(s) | +---------------------+----------------+ +---------------------+----------------+ Expected results: Either something informative is pushed out to stderr when the malformed config is parsed indicating that is the case or, modify the config parser to handle and disregard duplicate entries.

Thanks for filling this out, I've opened a bug upstream and submitted a fix for it. I can backport it once it's merged there. (added links to the external trackers)
Merged in OSP 10 and I've proposed a backport to OSP 9.
This bug is verified. New bug was open with some more enabled_driver formatting problem causing conductor to fail without error message https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1377103
