placement charm: OpenStack upgrade to Train

Important

This page has been identified as being affected by the breaking changes introduced between versions 2.9.x and 3.x of the Juju client. Read support note Breaking changes between Juju 2.9.x and 3.x before continuing.

Note

This page describes a procedure that is required when performing an upgrade of an OpenStack cloud. Please read the more general Upgrades overview before attempting any of the instructions given here.

As of OpenStack Train, the Placement API is managed by the new placement charm and is no longer managed by the nova-cloud-controller charm. The upgrade to Train therefore involves some coordination to transition to the new API endpoints.

Prior to upgrading nova-cloud-controller services to Train, the placement charm must be deployed for Train and related to the Stein-based nova-cloud-controller application. It is important that the nova-cloud-controller unit leader is paused while the API transition occurs (paused prior to adding relations for the placement charm) as the placement charm will migrate existing placement tables from the nova_api database to a new placement database. Once the new placement endpoints are registered, nova-cloud-controller can be resumed.

Here are example commands for the process just described:

juju deploy --series bionic --config openstack-origin=cloud:bionic-train cs:placement
juju run nova-cloud-controller/leader pause
juju integrate placement percona-cluster
juju integrate placement keystone
juju integrate placement nova-cloud-controller

List endpoints and ensure placement endpoints are now listening on the new placement IP address. Follow this up by resuming nova-cloud-controller:

openstack endpoint list
juju run nova-cloud-controller/leader resume

Finally, upgrade the nova-cloud-controller services. Below all units are upgraded simultaneously but see the Paused-single-unit service upgrade method for a more controlled approach:

juju config nova-cloud-controller openstack-origin=cloud:bionic-train

The Compute service (nova-compute) should then be upgraded.
