Bug Description

Brief Description
-----------------
In distributed cloud lab that has been up for 2 months with many subcloud adds, observe the file /root/ansible.log on the system controller is 170M. Logs in the file correspond with subcloud adds done over the last 2 months. If this file keep growing unbounded, it will contribute to disk space exhaust of rootfs.

Severity
--------
Minor

Steps to Reproduce
------------------
Set up distributed cloud system and add many subclouds

Expected Behavior
------------------
Log files should limit disk usage periodically via log rotation/compression/purging

Actual Behavior
----------------
ansible.log appears to be growing without bound

Reproducibility
---------------
Reproducible

System Configuration
--------------------
Distributed Cloud - system controller

Last Pass
---------
none

Timestamp/Logs
--------------
n/a

Test Activity
-------------
Distributed Cloud system testing

Workaround
----------
Manual cleanup of file by root user

This could be a separate bug but observed subcloud bootstrap and deploy log files accumulating in /var/log/dcmanager without compression or purging over time so the same issue exists for /var/log filesystem.

/var/log/dcmanager does have log rotation enabled but since the bootstrap and deploy files all have timestamps embedded in the filename, they are all unique per subcloud add and won't trigger any rotation.

    Disable ansible logging when invoked via subprocess

    Overwrite the default ansible log path in sysinv-conductor.
    The output of ansible playbook executed by conductor is already
    directed to sysinv log. The default ansible logging to the
    playbook user's home directory (/root in this case) is unnecessary
    and can exhaust rootfs over time.

    Test:
      - restart sysinv-conductor
      - verify that the kube networking and static images playbooks
        are executed and output are logged in sysinv log
      - verify that /root/ansible.log does not exist

    Format the IP addresses in payload before adding a subcloud

    The IPv6 addresses can be represented in multiple formats. As IP
    addresses are stored as text in database, ansible inventory and
    overrides, this commit converts the IP addresses in payload to
    standard text format of IPv6 address during adding a new subcloud.

    Tested with installing and bootstrapping a new subcloud(RVMC
    configured) with the correct IPv6 address values, but with
    unrecommended upper case letters and '0'. The addresses are
    converted to standard format in database, ansible inventory and
    overrides files.

    Delete existing vim strategy from subcloud during patch orch

    When dcmanager creates a patch strategy, if a subcloud has an
    existing vim patch strategy, it will attempt to re-use
    that strategy during its patching phase, which may result in an
    error.

    This commit deletes the existing vim patch strategy in
    a subcloud, if it exists, so it can be re-created.
    If the strategy cannot be deleted, orchestration fails.

    Adding activation retry to upgrade orchestration

    When performing an activation, the keystone endpoints may not
    be accessible in the subcloud due to the asyncronous way that
    cert-mon can trigger a restart of keystone.

    This would have occasionally resulted in the upgrade activation
    failing to be initiated, and orchestration needing to be invoked
    again to resume.

    This 'hack' adds retries and sleeps to the initial
    activation action.

    Fix subcloud show --detail command related issues

    If the subcloud is offline, the command stalls and eventually returns
    the "ERROR (app)" output. If the subcloud is online, the oam_floating_ip
    info is excluded from the output when the subcloud id instead of subcloud
    name is specified.

    This commit fixes both of the above issues.
