Set multiple contrail-api workers

Set multiple contrail-api workersΒΆ

In the MCP Build ID 2019.2.0, by default, one worker of the contrail-api service is used. Starting from the MCP 2019.2.3 maintenance update, six workers are used by default.

If needed, you can change the default configuration using the instruction below. This section also describes how to stop, start, or restart multiple workers.

To set multiple contrail-api workers for the MCP version 2019.2.3 or later:

  1. Open your Git project repository with the Reclass model on the cluster level.

  2. In cluster/<cluster name>/opencontrail/control.yml, set the required amount of workers:

    parameters:
      _param:
        opencontrail_api_workers_count: <required_amount_of_workers>
    
  3. Log in to the Salt Master node.

  4. Refresh pillars:

    salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar
    salt-call state.sls reclass.storage
    
  5. Apply the Reclass model changes:

    salt -C 'I@opencontrail:control' state.apply opencontrail
    

To set multiple contrail-api workers for the Build ID 2019.2.0:

Caution

Using the configuration below, you can start setting network entities in a newly created OpenStack project only one minute after this project is created.

  1. Open your Git project repository with the Reclass model on the cluster level.

  2. In cluster/<cluster name>/opencontrail/control.yml, set the required amount of workers:

    parameters:
      _param:
        opencontrail_api_workers_count: <required_amount_of_workers>
    
  3. Log in to the Salt Master node.

  4. Refresh pillars:

    salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar
    salt-call state.sls reclass.storage
    
  5. Apply the Reclass model changes:

    salt -C 'I@opencontrail:control' state.apply opencontrail
    
  6. Log in to any ntw node.

  7. In /etc/contrail/contrail-api.conf, change the following parameter:

    [KEYSTONE]
    keystone_sync_on_demand=true
    

    to

    [KEYSTONE]
    keystone_sync_on_demand=false
    
  8. Restart the OpenContrail controller Docker container:

    cd /etc/docker/compose/opencontrail/; docker-compose down; docker-compose up -d
    
  9. Wait until all OpenContrail controller services are up and running. To verify the OpenContrail services status, refer to Verify the OpenContrail status.

  10. Repeat the steps 7-9 on the remaining ntw nodes.

To stop, start, or restart multiple workers:

Caution

We recommend that you do not stop, start, or restart the contrail-api workers by executing the service command as it may cause an unstable workers behavior such as an incorrect number of running workers and race conditions.

  • To stop all contrail-api workers on the target node:

    systemctl stop contrail-api@*
    
  • To start all contrail-api workers on the target node:

    systemctl start contrail-api@*
    
  • To restart all contrail-api workers on the target node:

    systemctl restart contrail-api@*
    

Note

You may stop, start, or restart a certain worker by using the worker ID instead of the * character.
