Today I was able to test Queens+Bionic for the first time in about 2 weeks, without being roadblocked by bugs, Due to a resource constraint in hardware i was only giving one host. I decided to deploy opentack-on-lxd which uses the same bits as a multi-node deployment. ubuntu@alekhin:~/openstack-on-lxd$ openstack volume list +--------------------------------------+---------+-----------+------+-------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Size | Attached to | +--------------------------------------+---------+-----------+------+-------------+ | 27ceef74-3746-48eb-88e0-6a3bf1a97dd6 | volume1 | available | 10 | | +--------------------------------------+---------+-----------+------+-------------+ ubuntu@alekhin:~/openstack-on-lxd$ openstack server list +--------------------------------------+---------------+--------+-------------------------------------+--------+----------+ | ID | Name | Status | Networks | Image | Flavor | +--------------------------------------+---------------+--------+-------------------------------------+--------+----------+ | 4411c938-8a58-4a86-b666-a0e7d041e3f8 | sfeole-bionic | ACTIVE | internal=192.168.20.7, 10.228.22.34 | bionic | m1.small | +--------------------------------------+---------------+--------+-------------------------------------+--------+----------+ ubuntu@alekhin:~/openstack-on-lxd$ openstack hypervisor list +----+---------------------+-----------------+---------------+-------+ | ID | Hypervisor Hostname | Hypervisor Type | Host IP | State | +----+---------------------+-----------------+---------------+-------+ | 1 | juju-ac9015-20.lxd | QEMU | 10.228.22.203 | up | +----+---------------------+-----------------+---------------+-------+ On the instance we can see that only the root disk is available. ubuntu@sfeole-bionic:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/vda: 10 GiB, 10737418240 bytes, 20971520 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 4A7C8D71-AC27-4899-89D8-213EAB291FB6 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/vda1 206848 20971486 20764639 9.9G Linux filesystem /dev/vda15 2048 204800 202753 99M EFI System Partition table entries are not in disk order. ubuntu@sfeole-bionic:~$ sudo lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT vda 252:0 0 10G 0 disk ├─vda1 252:1 0 9.9G 0 part / └─vda15 252:15 0 99M 0 part /boot/efi If then attached the volume to the live-running instance, ubuntu@alekhin:~/openstack-on-lxd$ openstack server add volume sfeole-bionic volume1 ubuntu@alekhin:~/openstack-on-lxd$ openstack volume list +--------------------------------------+---------+--------+------+----------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Size | Attached to | +--------------------------------------+---------+--------+------+----------------------------------------+ | 27ceef74-3746-48eb-88e0-6a3bf1a97dd6 | volume1 | in-use | 10 | Attached to sfeole-bionic on /dev/vdb | +--------------------------------------+---------+--------+------+----------------------------------------+ On the instance we now see the disks attached, ubuntu@sfeole-bionic:~$ sudo lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT vda 252:0 0 10G 0 disk ├─vda1 252:1 0 9.9G 0 part / └─vda15 252:15 0 99M 0 part /boot/efi vdb 252:16 0 10G 0 disk <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ubuntu@sfeole-bionic:~$ sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/vda: 10 GiB, 10737418240 bytes, 20971520 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 4A7C8D71-AC27-4899-89D8-213EAB291FB6 Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/vda1 206848 20971486 20764639 9.9G Linux filesystem /dev/vda15 2048 204800 202753 99M EFI System Partition table entries are not in disk order.
