Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When configuring the cinder-volume service for HA, cinder's DEFAULT/host configuration was set to "hostgroup". Other cinder services (cinder-api, cinder-scheduler, cinder-backup) would use "hostgroup" for their configuration, regardless of which overcloud node was running the service. Log messages from these services looked like they all originated from the same "hostgroup" host, which made it difficult to know which node generated the message. When deploying for HA, cinder-volume's backend_host is set to "hostgroup" instead of setting DEFAULT/host to that value. This ensures each node's DEFAULT/host value is unique. Consequently, log messages from cinder-api, cinder-scheduler, and cinder-backup are correctly associated with the node that generated the message.

Description Alan Bishop 2018-03-06 17:17:22 UTC
Description of problem:

The cinder-volume service requires backend drivers uses a common value (typically "hostgroup") for the host configuration. However, this should be done using the special 'backend_host' config option, and not the 'host' option specified in the DEFAULT section of cinder.conf.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy cinder-volume service under pacemaker
2.
3.

Actual results:

The 'host' option in the DEFAULT section of cinder.conf is set to "hostgroup"

Expected results:

For every cinder-volume backend driver enabled, the 'backend_host' option in the backend sections of cinder.conf should be set to "hostgroup"

Upstream patches have been merged to stable/queens.

Comment 4 Alan Bishop 2018-04-23 19:53:46 UTC
I verified the changes are already in the latest OSP-13 puddle.

Verified on:
openstack-tripleo-heat-templates-8.0.2-14.el7ost.noarch

Example of deployment with ceph backend. 

[root@controller-0 ~]# tail  /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/cinder/etc/cinder/cinder.conf 

[tripleo_ceph]
backend_host=hostgroup     -> looking good to verify!
