RHBA-2021:2978 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated packages that resolve various issues are now available for Red Hat
OpenStack Platform 13 (Queens) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for building, deploying
and monitoring a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware.

Changes to the puppet-cinder component:

• In previous releases, the timeout period for the Block Storage service (cinder) API requests defaulted to 60 seconds and the value could not be overridden. Cinder API requests that took longer than 60 seconds would time out, even if the request would have eventually succeeded.

+
With this release, you can increase the API timeout value to avoid premature timeout requests.
+
To deploy this fix, increase the two timeout values as shown in the following example.
+

• ---

1. Install the `puppet-cinder` RPM on the overcloud Controller nodes where the cinder-api service runs.

2. In an environment file, configure the remote procedure call (RPC) timeout and API wsgi timeout value to the desired settings. For example, in `myenvfile.yaml`, enter the following settings.
+

• ---

parameter_defaults:
ControllerExtraConfig:
cinder::rpc_response_timeout: 120
cinder::wsgi::apache::vhost_custom_fragment: 'Timeout 120'

• ---

+
3. Include the environment file that contains your new content in the `openstack overcloud deploy` by using the `-e` option. Ensure that you include all other environment files that are relevant to your deployment in the correct order.
+

• ---

$ openstack overcloud deploy \

• e my-env-file.yaml
• --- (BZ#1959476)

Solution

Before applying this update, ensure all previously released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

To ensure that all content is accessible, enable both the new Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS) repositories and the previous (non-ELS) repositories.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 13 runs on RHEL 7.
