Re: [Openstack-operators] [dnsmasq] setting ntp-server

[Carlos Konstanski]

tldr; you have to use an IP address, not a DNS name, in the ntp-server
config.

In dhcp_agent.ini:

dnsmasq_config_file = /etc/neutron/dnsmasq.conf

In /etc/neutron/dnsmasq.conf:

dhcp-option=option:ntp-server,

I was trying to use a  instead of an  . The result
was that the floating IP was not being wired correctly. Packets were not
making it to the qr device. Not sure why.

But with an IP address, everything works and a
/var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp gets written. As long as the /etc/init.d/ntp
script looks for this file, everything is golden.

I can help getting info into IRC as well, as in participate in both
IRC and the phone call.

Re: [Openstack-operators] [dnsmasq] setting ntp-server

[Abel Lopez]

Another option is to make customized guest images that are preconfigured as you 
like them.

In a previous role, I had to maintain all linux distro guest images for use 
inside a corporate cloud deploy. This included pointing ntpd to corp IT ntp 
servers for compliance.

I did this by creating a custom element for diskimage-builder, and we would 
periodically update the images.

Re: [Openstack-operators] [OpenStack-docs] [doc] Operations Guide removal

[Chris Morgan]

I have just completed loading the files into the wiki for perusal. You can
see the files here in my contrib list
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Cmorgan2

I have not fixed the contents page (which was blank) nor made forward and
back links so that you can go from one to the next page. This just allows
us to see how the conversion output looks right now. I am aware we may need
to redo all this. Please take a look!

[Openstack-operators] [dnsmasq] setting ntp-server

[Carlos Konstanski]

I am searching for a way to set NTP servers in instances. Thre are at
least two ways to do this that come to mind: DHCP and cloud.cfg. I would
like to explore DHCP for this discussion.

dnsmasq supports the following configuration:

dhcp-option=option:ntp-server,,,...

In the Ubuntu /etc/init.d/ntp service script the following can be found:

if [ /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp -nt /etc/ntp.conf ]; then
NTPD_OPTS="$NTPD_OPTS -c /var/lib/ntp/ntp.conf.dhcp"
fi

It would seem that the two work together to allow DHCP to override
/etc/ntp.conf.

The question is how to get openstack to configure dnsmasq thusly. There
are two possibilities: a neutron config option or the overriding of the
entire dnsmasq.conf. The former would be mch simpler and less messy. Is
there such a setting in neutron.conf?

[Openstack-operators] [LCOO] August 17 General Coordination meeting

[MCCABE, JAMEY A]

Thanks for the attention Jay and Curtis.  We did have IRC session live with our 
LCOO bi-weekly meeting yesterday. It was a trial - both IRC and the 
Telephone/Video bridge at the same time.  Here's the IRC part: 
http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/meetings/lcoo/ Not much about merger of 
Operators Telco/NFV was discussed.  We'll invite Curtis to an upcoming session 
and try to get others from LCOO member operations teams to also come.





While I have the podium and for those interested, the LCOO Working Group was 
started by a group of Private Cloud Operators who wanted to bring more 
collaborative attention (read our own community development teams) to 
implementing enhancements or maintenance of things we find in common.  The idea 
is to bring in such organizations as a whole with Stakeholders in those 
companies coming to value it and thus devoting more resources to the community 
teams over time.  A number of us are of the Telecom type but we tried not to 
limit it since the definition of Telecom and Communications is rapidly 
changing. It's slow going and still trying to get to the point where we have 
clear examples of our delivery of things via this approach. Extreme Testing 
(for us we call a Specialization) is one we instigated and facilitating.  It is 
being discussed in in openstack-dev ML and we are working hard to bring it 
appropriately to PTG and Sydney Summit (and SIGs approach). Anyway if anyone is 
interested to investigate further, please reply or reach out to me: jamemcc at 
gmail dot com.

Cool, thanks Curtis. The publish-to-ML summaries of working groups have

been very helpful for me.
