There is this patch to utilize the INACTIVE status: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/255875/ ________________________________________ From: Brandon Logan <brandon.lo...@rackspace.com> Sent: Monday, December 14, 2015 6:25 PM To: openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Neutron][LBaaS] Regarding v2 LoadBalancer's status(es) Hi Bryan, On Mon, 2015-12-14 at 15:19 -0600, Bryan Jones wrote: > Hi All, > > I had a few issues/questions regarding the statuses > (provisioning_status and operating_status) of a v2 LoadBalancer.

I would say all of those statuses in the docs pertain to provisioning_status, except for INACTIVE, which I'm actually not sure where that is being used. I have to plead ignorance on this. I was initially thinking operating_status but I don't see it being used. So that probably needs to just be pulled out of the docs entirely. The operating_status statuses are listed in code here [1]. They are pretty self explanatory, except for maybe DEGRADED. DEGRADED basically means that one or more of its descendants are in an OFFLINE operating_status. NO_MONITOR means no health monitor so operating_status can't be evaluated. DISABLED means admin_state_up on that entity is set to False. > > Second, [1] also mentions that an error_details attribute will be > provided if the status is ERROR.

This is actually something that was in v1 (status_description) that we have not added to v2. It would be nice to have but its not there yet. The docs should be updated to remove this. > > Finally, I'm curious what operations can be performed on the > LoadBalancer if the operating_status is OFFLINE and the > provisioning_status is ACTIVE.

Operations on a load balancer are only restricted based on the provisioning_status. operating_status is purely for information. If the load balancer's provisioning status is ACTIVE then you can do any operation on it, regardless of operating_status. I don't know of a current scenario where ACTIVE/OFFLINE status is actually possible for a load balancer, but a driver could decide to do that, though I'd like to understand that use case first. > > [1] > http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-networking-v2-ext.html#lbaas-v2.0 > [2] > http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-networking-v2-ext.html#showLoadBalancerv2 > [3] > https://github.com/openstack/neutron-lbaas/blob/master/neutron_lbaas/services/loadbalancer/data_models.py#L503 > > Thanks, > > BRYAN JONES > Software Engineer - OpenStack Development > > ___________________________________ > Phone: 1-507-253-2620 > E-mail: jone...@us.ibm.com > Find me on: LinkedIn: > http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjones17/ > IBM > > 3605 Hwy 52 N > Rochester, MN 55901-1407 > United States > > > > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev [1] https://github.com/openstack/neutron-lbaas/blob/master/neutron_lbaas/services/loadbalancer/constants.py#L100 Thanks, Brandon __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
