Scott Little 31f97de261 cengn reference removal 
mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca no longer exists. CENGN is kindly forwarding
requests to the new location mirror.starlingx.windriver.com for now, but
that will only last a few months. We need to replace all the references
with the new URL.

I will also remove as many 'cengn' references as possible, replacing
them with 'stx_mirror'

Known limitations in R3.0

The following are known limitations in the StarlingX R3.0 release. Workarounds are suggested where applicable. Note that these limitations are considered temporary and will likely be resolved in a future release.

Changing Keystone admin password

After the Keystone admin password is changed, kube-system namespace registry secrets must be manually updated. Tracking Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1853017

It is recommended that the Keystone admin password not be changed unless necessary.

Workaround: If you must update the WRCP's Keystone admin user password in R3.0, you must also manually update the kube-system namespace's registry secrets that hold the admin password for image pulls:

  1. Update the WRCP Keystone admin user password:

    openstack user set --password newP@ssw0rd admin

  2. Update the kube-system namespace's registry-local-secret secret:

    kubectl -n kube-system create secret docker-registry registry-local-secret --docker-server=registry.local:9001 --docker-username=admin --docker-password=newP@ssw0rd -o yaml --dry-run=true > registry-local-secret-update.yaml
kubectl -n kube-system replace secret registry-local-secret -f registry-local-secret-update.yaml

  3. Update the kube-system namespace's default-registry-key secret:

    kubectl -n kube-system create secret docker-registry default-registry-key --docker-server=registry.local:9001 --docker-username=admin --docker-password=newP@ssw0rd -o yaml --dry-run=true > default-registry-key-update.yaml
kubectl -n kube-system replace secret default-registry-key -f default-registry-key-update.yaml

In a distributed cloud deployment, the registry secrets must also be updated on all subclouds in the system.
