enable lbaasv2 dashboard in openstack-dashboard charm

[Fairbanks.]

Hello there,

When deploying openstack using the openstack-base bundle lbaas doesn't seem to work.
Networking, floating ips, security groups etc.. all work but lbaasv2 isn't loading.
After enabling the option it just doesn't appear in the Horizon Dashboard.

Attached there is a log part with some errors which i believe are causing the problems.

I have re-installed all the packages, removed the unit, added it again, etc... nothing seems to get it to run.

If there are any questions, i'm happy to answer.

Thx,
Mathijs.

Looks like our lbaas_agent.ini template for newton needs to be updated (possibly others?):

https://github.com/openstack/charm-neutron-gateway/blob/master/templates/newton/lbaas_agent.ini

From what I can gather from https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/stable/newton/setup.cfg
interface_driver should be neutron.interface_drivers.openvswitch

Still need to figure out the device_driver as
neutron_lbaas.drivers.haproxy.namespace_driver.HaproxyNSDriver is correct based on the documentation:
http://docs.openstack.org/newton/config-reference/networking/lbaas.html
Tested with and without the ['']

The horizon dashboard problem is due to the fact that horizon natively does not have lbaasv2 support - this is distributed as a horizon plugin, which we're working to package for Ocata, with a backport for Newton.

Switching bug to openstack-dashboard - lbaasv2 is there under the hood, and consumable via the API, but not in the dashboard as of today.

Hello,

So is this going to be fixed in the default charm?
It isn't available yet, so it isn't in the stable 17.02 branch not even in the 17.05 if i'm correct.

if i install it my self on the unit.
juju run --application openstack-dashboard 'sudo apt install python-neutron-lbaas-dashboard'
and after
juju run-action openstack-dashboard/0 pause
juju run-action openstack-dashboard/0 resume
juju run-action openstack-dashboard/1 pause
juju run-action openstack-dashboard/1 resume
juju run-action openstack-dashboard/2 pause
juju run-action openstack-dashboard/2 resume

So that the cache etc.. is all working again.
It shows up.

Hello,

I am working to get it landed for stable/17.02 as the fix is simple.

There has been a change in release cadence so 17.05 never happened:

    Enable LBaaS2 in Horizon

    Install the python-neutron-lbaas-dashboard package if Ocata or greater
    to enable LBaas2 in Horizon.

    This fix is for stable/17.02 only as a mere cherry-pick is not possible
    due to the fact that CompareOpenStackReleases is not present in the
    stable charm-helpers branch at the time of writing.

    There is no harm in doing a fix specifically for this branch with the
    old style of comparison.

Referring to James' comment on from 2017-02-04: I suppose the Newton backport never happened, is that correct? So, a customer still running on Mitaka that wants to use Horizon to manage LBaaS (and continue to do so) would be forced to upgrade to at least Ocata, right after the Newton upgrade?
