So, do you mean that if I deploy my OpenStack cluster via Heat (like TripleO?), Heat will take care of all the configurations including the database schema and its contents. I just need to export what I want via Heat and then import them(conf files, database contents, keystone backend data...) in the new deployment (maybe upgrade). Heat also takes care of database upgrade or migration, right? Please correct me if there's some misunderstanding. -- Nick Ma skywalker.n...@gmail.com ___ Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack Post to : openstack@lists.openstack.org Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
Re: [Openstack] Export tenant configuration
AFAIK, in OpenStack, all the data is stored in sql server and there's no so-called automatic script for this task, but you can dump the desired data from sql server and restore them into the new sql server. You can have a try. Nick Ma On 1/21/2014 10:24 PM, Salvo Rapisarda wrote: Hello, in OpenStack there is a function that export/import the structure of a project (Network,Volume,VMs,ecc...) ?

Re: [Openstack] Export tenant configuration
But you surely know that MySQL is not the only SQL back-end for OpenStack services. ;-) This is why I was looking for an alternative solution for export/import the structure of my project. Salvo.

The data for the various resources consumed by your project is stored in a number of databases.

If you want to port the network configuration from Grizzly to Havana, UI would just make a snapshot of your Quantum database in Grizzly and start your Havana database from that snapshot, and run the db schema migrations on it.

Re: [Openstack] Export tenant configuration
Some open source packages produce a list of commands that need to run in order to re-create a specific item. So, for a project, there would be a command to create the project, set quota, ... This is more friendly for tweaking afterwards (such as create me a project with -devel after the name) and can be made long term portable (assuming the commands are... ) Not sure it's the best approach for OpenStack but it is worth considering..

Best, -jay I know, but I think can be helpful to use a tool for generate, for example, an XML file of my Project that is compatible with the all releases of OpenStack. I think helpful and XML file should not be used in the same sentence. That said, I'm not sure such a thing would really be possible. So many schema changes happen from one release to another, never mind changes in capabilities for underlying technologies like libvirt, OVS, etc...
