Description Marius Cornea 2016-11-16 14:55:46 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm doing a deployment with 3 controllers and 40 compute nodes and the overcloud stack creation fails with:

Resource CREATE failed: Collection length exceeds 200 elements

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
instack-undercloud-5.0.0-4.el7ost.noarch

It looks that we need to increase the [yaql] limit_iterators in /etc/heat/heat.conf as with the current version the default value gets set.

Comment 1 Steven Hardy 2016-11-16 15:02:26 UTC
The problem is we're missing a fix that increases the yaql limit_iterators in the heat.conf on the undercloud (from the default of 200, which is too small for the large stacks we're creating with TripleO in this case).

Upstream bug raised, and backport proposed:

Comment 2 Marius Cornea 2016-11-16 15:08:46 UTC
Workaround:

1. Create hieradata file:

cat /home/stack/custom_hiera.yaml 
heat::yaql_limit_iterators: 1000

2. Edit undercloud.conf and point it to the hieradata file
hieradata_override =  /home/stack/custom_hiera.yaml

3. Rerun openstack undercloud install

Comment 3 Steven Hardy 2016-11-25 11:22:06 UTC
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/398396/ landed, verfied by inspection it's included in instack-undercloud-5.1.0-3.el7ost.noarch.rpm
