tripleo-quickstart-extras/roles/validate-ha

ansible-role-tripleo-overcloud-validate-ha

This role acts on an already deployed tripleo environment, testing all HA related functionalities of the installation.

Requirements

This role must be used with a deployed TripleO environment, so you'll need a working directory of tripleo-quickstart with this files:

• hosts: which will contain all the hosts used in the deployment;

• ssh.config.ansible: which will have all the ssh data to connect to the undercloud and all the overcloud nodes;

• A config file with a definition for the floating network (which will be used to test HA instances), like this one:

  public_physical_network: "floating"
  floating_ip_cidr: "10.0.0.0/24"
  public_net_pool_start: "10.0.0.191"
  public_net_pool_end: "10.0.0.198"
  public_net_gateway: "10.0.0.254"    
  

Quickstart invocation

Quickstart can be invoked like this:

./quickstart.sh \
   --retain-inventory \
   --playbook overcloud-validate-ha.yml \
   --working-dir /path/to/workdir \
   --requirements /path/to/quickstart-extras-requirements.txt \
   --config /path/to/config.yml \
   --release <RELEASE> \
   --tags all \
   <HOSTNAME or IP>

Basically this command:

• Keeps existing data on the repo (it's the most important one)
• Uses the overcloud-validate-ha.yml playbook
• Uses the same custom workdir where quickstart was first deployed
• Get all the extra requirements
• Select the specific config file (which must contain the floating network data)
• Specifies the release (liberty, mitaka, newton or “master” for ocata)
• Performs all the tasks in the playbook overcloud-validate-ha.yml
• Starts the installation on virthost

Important note

If the role is called by itself, so not in the same playbook that already deploys the environment (see baremetal-undercloud-validate-ha.yml, you need to export ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS with the path of the ssh.config.ansible file, like this:

export ANSIBLE_SSH_ARGS="-F /path/to/quickstart/workdir/ssh.config.ansible"

HA tests

By default these tests are performed per version:

• Test: Look for failed actions (all)
• Test: Stop master slave resources (galera and redis), all the resources should come down (all)
• Test: Stop keystone resource (by stopping httpd), check no other resource is stopped (mitaka, osp9)
• Test: next generation cluster checks (newton):
  • Test: Stop every systemd resource, stop Galera and Rabbitmq, Start every systemd resource
  • Test: Stop Galera and Rabbitmq, stop every systemd resource, Start every systemd resource
  • Test: Stop Galera and Rabbitmq, wait 20 minutes to see if something fails
• Test: Instance deployment (all)

Tests are performed using an external application named tripleo-director-ha-test-suite.

Example Playbook

The main playbook couldn't be simpler:

---
- name:  Validate overcloud HA status
  hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: no
  roles:
    - tripleo-overcloud-validate-ha

But it could also be used at the end of a deployment, like in this file baremetal-undercloud-validate-ha.yml.
