CURRENT ISSUES (nut shell) * Too many bootstrap sequences (standard, node, registration). * Too much complexity, can break at a lot of places, hard to adapt new features. * No pluggable (cluster). * vdsm-bootstrap part of vdsm package, however it is back-end tool, hard to maintain the dependency and support multiple back-end versions. * No manual invocation method. * Logging is insufficient, example: stderr data absent from logs on host, but appear on back-end side. * SSH timeout issues. MISSION * vdsm-bootstrap as standalone package. * Lower cost of maintenance. * Lower cost of integration. * Flexible pluggable design. * Two sequences * Bootstrap * ovirt-node upgrade * ovirt-node registration has no ovirt logic, just “I'm here” notification. * Establish a bidirectional channel between back-end and host, no iterative commands nor file transfers. * Manual invocation support. * Better timeout management. * Better logging.

Hi Alon, The million dollar question from a documentation point of view is what if any impact does this have on the *user* other than making it easier for us to support them? In particular: - Does this change the registration flow for RHEV-H hosts? - Does this change the registration flow for RHEL hosts? - Does this change how/where users should find logs? - Is there a feature page for this work?

No. > - Does this change the registration flow for RHEL hosts? There is no registration... only deployment... and no. > - Does this change how/where users should find logs? Yes, bug#886709. Host side (change) /tmp/vdsm-bootstrap-*.log -> /tmp/ovirt-host-deploy-*.log Engine side (new) /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy/*.log > - Is there a feature page for this work? http://www.ovirt.org/Featrues/Bootstrap_Improvements
Ok, I captured the logging change under the clone(s) of Bug # 886709 and I can see that the fact that nodes/hosts can now be registered without HTTPS is covered under Bug # 723206 which is also in our list to review in documentation scoping. As such I am going to set this particular bug to docs_scoped- as I don't think any additional documentation changes are required under it specifically.
