There will be 2 +instances on each compute, so minimum number of VCPUs is also 2. Depending on +how many compute nodes there is application will always have 2 redundant +instances (ACT-STDBY) on different compute nodes and rest of the compute +capacity will be filled with non-redundant instances. + +For each project specific maintenance message there is a time window for +`app manager` to make any needed action. This will guarantee zero +down time for his service. All replies back are done by calling `admin tool` API +given in the message. + +The following steps are executed: + +Infrastructure admin will call `admin tool` API to trigger maintenance for +compute hosts having instances belonging to a VNF. + +Project specific `MAINTENANCE` notification is triggered to tell `app manager` +that his instances are going to hit by infrastructure maintenance at a specific +point in time. `app manager` will call `admin tool` API to answer back +`ACK_MAINTENANCE`. + +When the time comes to start the actual maintenance workflow in `admin tool`, +a `DOWN_SCALE` notification is triggered as there is no empty compute node for +maintenance (or compute upgrade). Project receives corresponding alarm and scales +down instances and call `admin tool` API to answer back `ACK_DOWN_SCALE`. + +As it might happen instances are not scaled down (removed) from a single +compute node, `admin tool` might need to figure out what compute node should be +made empty first and send `PREPARE_MAINTENANCE` to project telling which instance +needs to be migrated to have the needed empty compute. `app manager` makes sure +he is ready to migrate instance and call `admin tool` API to answer back +`ACK_PREPARE_MAINTENANCE`. `admin tool` will make the migration and answer +`ADMIN_ACTION_DONE`, so `app manager` knows instance can be again used. + +:numref:`figure-p3` has next a light blue section of actions to be done for each +compute. However as we now have one empty compute, we will maintain/upgrade that +first. So on first round, we can straight put compute in maintenance and send +admin level host specific `IN_MAINTENANCE` message. This is caught by `Inspector` +to know host is down for maintenance. `Inspector` can now disable any automatic +fault management actions for the host as it can be down for a purpose. After +`admin tool` has completed maintenance/upgrade `MAINTENANCE_COMPLETE` message +is sent to tell host is back in production. + +Next rounds we always have instances on compute, so we need to have +`PLANNED_MAINTANANCE` message to tell that those instances are now going to hit +by maintenance. When `app manager` now receives this message, he knows instances +to be moved away from compute will now move to already maintained/upgraded host. +In test case no upgrade is done on application side to upgrade instances +according to new infrastructure capabilities, but this could be done here as +this information is also passed in the message. This might be just upgrading +some RPMs, but also totally re-instantiating instance with a new flavor. Now if +application runs an active side of a redundant instance on this compute, +a switch over will be done. After `app manager` is ready he will call +`admin tool` API to answer back `ACK_PLANNED_MAINTENANCE`. In test case the +answer is `migrate`, so `admin tool` will migrate instances and reply +`ADMIN_ACTION_DONE` and then `app manager` knows instances can be again used. +Then we are ready to make the actual maintenance as previously trough +`IN_MAINTENANCE` and `MAINTENANCE_COMPLETE` steps. + +After all computes are maintained, `admin tool` can send `MAINTENANCE_COMPLETE` +to tell maintenance/upgrade is now complete. For `app manager` this means he +can scale back to full capacity. + +This is the current sample implementation and test case. Real life +implementation is started in OpenStack Fenix project and there we should +eventually address requirements more deeply and update the test case with Fenix +implementation. diff --git a/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Fault-management-design.png b/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Fault-management-design.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000..6d98cdec --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Fault-management-design.png diff --git a/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Maintenance-design.png b/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Maintenance-design.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000..8f21db6a --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Maintenance-design.png diff --git a/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Maintenance-workflow.png b/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Maintenance-workflow.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 00000000..9b65fd59 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/Maintenance-workflow.png diff --git a/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/figure-p1.png b/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/figure-p1.png Binary files differdeleted file mode 100755 index e963d8bd..00000000 --- a/docs/development/overview/functest_scenario/images/figure-p1.png +++ /dev/null |
