List of Issues 1. How do I change/increase the timeout for Horizon/Contrail GUI ? Many users have complained about the GUI keep timing out while they’re doing demo. UI works based on keystone token expiry. Extending default expiry on keystone should work (UI team has not tested this) 1. Is there an easy way to add customized “nova.conf” params when installing with Contrail Command ? For example, if manually install with ansible-deployer, the instances.yaml have this section. The only way I can do it now is by manually add those line in all nova.conf kolla_config: openstack_release: ocata customize: nova.conf: | [oslo_messaging_notifications] driver = messagingv2 [DEFAULT] disk_allocation_ratio = 20.0 ram_allocation_ratio = 5.0 cpu_allocation_ratio = 25.0 From UI setup wizard, under advanced options in orchestrator step, you could set kolla globals key value params. but I believe sending second level key value will not work (Ram/Ignatious still need to confirm this) 1. This VNC params in nova.conf is not taking effects. This makes it not possible to directly access instance’s VNC console, from both Horizon/ContrailCommand. Under Investigation from the engineering team. 1. Memory: with 64 G RAM per cfg/ctlr/analytics node, we expect the number of PODs per server to be reduced to 2-3 from the current 5 PODs/server in Contrail 3.2.3. This is a significant reduction and will impact the intended applications (external users and training). We have asked engineering to investigate tuning parameters to reduce the RAM utilization. The difference is micro-services. 32 GB is just about enough to bring up the container. Whether we can fine tune, I still need a confirmation on this from the development team. 1. Contrail Command: when we install Contrail Command, we configure the cfg node for CSN. This causes vRouter to be installed on the cfg node. We currently don’t plan to use CSN but would like to make sure that the presence of vrouter on cfg node is benign. Should we remove CSN from the installation altogether? vRouter is usually not present on the config node. CSN is not necessary for bringing up the cluster and you can remove CSN from the installation. 1. “Contrail Command resources: what is the minimum requirement for a VM hosting Contrail Command. In our setup, each POD is managed by a separate Contrail Command. We have installed this on a VM with 2 CPU and 2 G RAM and it seems to working fine. We would like to have confirmation that this is OK.“ 2G of RAM is not tested and could be too less. The min recommended is 8GB and 2 CPU. Linh Phan is testing with 4BG to see if it is required to be upgraded to 8GB. I will confirm the config node RAM issue with the engineering team today.

We will increase memory to 64 GB and test again to see if we see the issue. However I would like to have some clarification regarding memory as the root cause. In 3.2.3 we had 24 G of RAM and it served us quite well with all aspects of the setup including Cassandra. While 5.0.1 as a whole may require more memory (we increased it to 32 G and still have some headroom in “top”), it is not clear why Cassandra by itself requires so much more RAM in 5.0.1, and then only intermittently? In 3.2.3 we ran 5 PODs on a single server and are able to support 30 PODs on 6 servers. In 5.0.1 we reduced the count to 4 (and a total of 6x4=24 PODs) because of higher memory requirements and the addition of a second compute node. If we are required to assign 64 G to the config node alone, we will have to reduce the count still further to 3 PODs per server. With our 6 servers currently in place, the number of PODs will be reduced from the current 30 in 3.2.3 to 18 in 5.0.1. Given the significant resource impact I wonder if there are parameters that can be tweaked to manage this better for a non-production environment such as ours?

With this any container could be launched directly like a regular VM in the UI/Heat template. Later with Contrail 4.x I used instead a script to integrate and launch cSRX and create the interface mapping to the vRouter. I do not remember yet but I think the Nova-Docker was already deprecated and no replacement ready. Anyway that script was made by a Contrail developer and helped a lot. Now with Contrail 5.x and newer Openstack, I’ll need to look whether a plugin exists to integrate with containers but I believe that yes we may need to install Contrail/K8 in that case. cSRX does not work with K8 per say as it would then need “CNN” (multiple interface support as opposition to CNI for single interface) but it does work thanks to Contrail vRouter since it’s mapped to it rather than to the native K8 networking and Contrail does the service chaining between vnetworks with cSRX or any VNF of course. It does solve this puzzle :) Laurent From: Ali Zaringhalam <>> Date: Thursday 23 August 2018 at 09:20 To: Laurent Paumelle <>>, Stuart Mackie <>>, Linh Phan <>>, Fredric Linder <>>, Chaitanya Kadiyala <>>, Chameera Wijesinghe <>> Cc: Scott Alexander <>>, Jerry Passione <>>, Marcelino Chua <>>, Maria Caraballo <>> Subject: RE: 5.0.01 /Try pod 26 to 30 SSH keys Not sure if there is “and may be some docker plugin for Openstack/Contrail”. cSRX should probably be done with K8/Contrail.
