Description of problem: the oslo_rootwrap wrapper.py component checks for the existence of /dev/log. But if Journald/rsyslog is not running, /dev/log does not exist. This causes cold migrations, which use oslo_rootwrap, to fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Stop journald and rsyslog, and verify /dev/log is not present 2. Attempt to perform a cold migration of a host 3. Test that ssh communications is working with the nova_migrate user: ssh -i /etc/nova/migration/identity nova_migration.ip.address touch /var/lib/nova/instances/test Actual results: cold migration will fail. the ssh test will fail with the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/nova-rootwrap", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oslo_rootwrap/cmd.py", line 89, in main config.syslog_log_level) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oslo_rootwrap/wrapper.py", line 101, in setup_syslog facility=facility) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 761, in __init__ self._connect_unixsocket(address) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/logging/handlers.py", line 789, in _connect_unixsocket self.socket.connect(address) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args) socket.error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Expected results: Cold migration should work. The ssh test should complete successfully. Additional info: There is an upstream fix for this, which we would like backported to OSP10.
FYI already fixed on queens, rocky, stein, and highers by commit 574dede5efaaf39dd93c91dfb01fc08b03164282
