cinder-volume is marked down during image uploads

[Fabian Zimmermann]

cinder-volume-Agent is marked as down if upload of volume needs longer than heartbeat-timeout.

steps to reproduce:

1. create a big Volume (f.e. 100G)
2. fill the volume with data to avoid too fast upload
3. tell cinder to upload the volume as image
4. watch cinder-volume-agent being marked as DOWN, because noch heartbeat-update is done during upload.

I already created this bug in upstream/cinder bug/1764740, but after some research I found its not happening if I build from upstream.

Did further tests and it looks like the problem is caused by some kind of python module dep. problem, because if I execute

  pip install --system -U -r https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openstack/cinder/stable/pike/requirements.txt

the bug is gone.

Hi Fabian

Can you confirm a) which Ubuntu release you are using and b) if you are using the Ubuntu Cloud Archive, which OpenStack release you are using.

In future 'ubuntu-bug cinder-volume' will just collect all of that automatically for you in the bug report.

Cheers

James

Note that when installing from pip you must observer the upper-constraints.txt produced as part of global requirements from OpenStack, otherwise upper bounds are not observered and you'll just get the latest of everything from pip.
