Various issues¶
This page documents various issues (software limitations/bugs) that may apply to a Charmed OpenStack cloud. These are still-valid issues that have arisen during the development cycles of past OpenStack Charms releases. The most recently discovered issues are documented in the Release notes of the latest version of the OpenStack Charms.

It is recommended to read the Issues, charm procedures, and OpenStack upgrade notes page before continuing.
Lack of FQDN for containers on physical MAAS nodes may affect running services¶
When Juju deploys to a LXD container on a physical MAAS node, the container is not informed of its FQDN. The services running in the container will therefore be unable to determine the FQDN on initial deploy and on reboot.
Adverse effects are service dependent. This issue is tracked in bug LP #1896630 in an OVN and Octavia context. Several workarounds are documented in the bug.
Adding Glance storage backends¶
When a storage backend is added to Glance a service restart may be necessary in order for the new backend to be registered. This issue is tracked in bug LP #1914819.
OVN and SR-IOV: servicing external DHCP and metadata requests¶
When instances are deployed with SR-IOV networking in an OVN deployment a change of configuration may be required to retain servicing of DHCP and metadata requests.
If your deployment has SR-IOV instances, make sure that at least one of the OVN
chassis named applications has the prefer-chassis-as-gw configuration
option set to ‘true’.
The root of the issue is in how Neutron handles scheduling of gateway chassis for L3 routers and external services differently, and is tracked in bug LP #1946456.
Ceph RBD Mirror and Ceph Octopus¶
Due to an unresolved permission issue the ceph-rbd-mirror charm will stay in a blocked state after configuring mirroring for pools when connected to a Ceph Octopus cluster. See bug LP #1879749 for details.
