Replacement of OSD-Compute UCS 240M4 - CPAR
Available Languages
Contents
Introduction
This document describes the steps that are required to replace a faulty Object Storage Disk (OSD) - Compute server in an Ultra-M setup.
This procedure applies for an Openstack environment with NEWTON version where ESC does not manage CPAR and CPAR is installed directly on the Virtual Machine (VM) deployed on Openstack.
Background Information
Ultra-M is a pre-packaged and validated virtualized mobile packet core solution that is designed in order to simplify the deployment of VNFs. OpenStack is the Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM) for Ultra-M and consists of these node types:
- Compute
- OSD - Compute
- Controller
- OpenStack Platform - Director (OSPD)
The high-level architecture of Ultra-M and the components involved are depicted in this image:
This document is intended for Cisco personnel who are familiar with Cisco Ultra-M platform and it details the steps required to be carried out at OpenStack and Redhat Operating System (OS).

Workflow of MoP
Backup
Before you replace a Compute node, it is important to check the current state of your Red Hat OpenStack Platform environment. It is recommended that you check the current state in order to avoid complications when the Compute replacement process is on. It can be achieved by this flow of replacement.
In case of recovery, Cisco recommends to take a backup of the OSPD database with the use of these steps:
[root@director ~]# mysqldump --opt --all-databases > /root/undercloud-all-databases.sql [root@director ~]# tar --xattrs -czf undercloud-backup-`date +%F`.tar.gz /root/undercloud-all-databases.sql /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf /var/lib/glance/images /srv/node /home/stack tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
This process ensures that a node can be replaced without affecting the availability of any instances.
- Identify the VMs Hosted in the OSD-Compute Node.
- Identify the VMs that are hosted on the server.
[stack@director ~]$ nova list --field name,host | grep osd-compute-0 | 46b4b9eb-a1a6-425d-b886-a0ba760e6114 | AAA-CPAR-testing-instance | pod2-stack-compute-4.localdomain |
CPAR Application Shutdown
Step 1. Open any Secure Shell (SSH) client connected to the network and connect to the CPAR instance.
It is important not to shutdown all 4 AAA instances within one site at the same time, do it in a one by one fashion.
Step 2. In order to shut down the CPAR application, run the command:
/opt/CSCOar/bin/arserver stop
A Message “Cisco Prime Access Registrar Server Agent shutdown complete.” must show up.
ERROR: You cannot shut down Cisco Prime Access Registrar while the
CLI is being used. Current list of running
CLI with process id is:
2903 /opt/CSCOar/bin/aregcmd –s
In this example, the highlighted process id 2903 needs to be terminated before CPAR can be stopped. If this is the case, run the command in order to terminate this process:
kill -9 *process_id*
Then repeat Step 1.
Step 3. In order to verify that the CPAR application was indeed shutdown, run the command:
/opt/CSCOar/bin/arstatus
This messages must appear:
Cisco Prime Access Registrar Server Agent not running Cisco Prime Access Registrar GUI not running
VM Snapshot Task
Step 1. Enter the Horizon GUI website that corresponds to the Site (City) currently being worked on.
When you access Horizon, the screen observed is as shown in this image.
Step 2. Navigate to Project > Instances as shown in this image.
If the user used was CPAR, then only the 4 AAA instances appear in this menu.
Step 3. Shut down only one instance at a time and repeat the whole process in this document. In order to shutdown the VM, navigate to Actions > Shut Off Instance as shown in the image and confirm your selection.
Step 4. Validate that the instance was indeed shut down by checking the Status = Shutoff and Power State = Shut Down as shown in this image.
This step ends the CPAR shutdown process.
VM Snapshot
Once the CPAR VMs are down, the snapshots can be taken in parallel as they belong to independent computes.
The four QCOW2 files are created in parallel.
Take a snapshot of each AAA instance. (25 minutes -1 hour) (25 minutes for instances that used a qcow image as a source and 1 hour for instances that user a raw image as a source)
- Login to POD’s Openstack’s Horizon GUI.
- Once logged in, navigate to Project > Compute > Instances section on the top menu and look for the AAA instances as shown in this image.
3. Click Create Snapshot in order to proceed with snapshot creation (this needs to be executed on the corresponding AAA instance) as shown in this image.
4. Once the snapshot is executed, click Images and verify that all finish and report no problems as shown in this image.
5. The next step is to download the snapshot on a QCOW2 format and transfer it to a remote entity, in case the OSPD is lost during this process. In order to achieve this, identify the snapshot by running the command glance image-list at OSPD level.
[root@elospd01 stack]# glance image-list +--------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | ID | Name | +--------------------------------------+---------------------------+ | 80f083cb-66f9-4fcf-8b8a-7d8965e47b1d | AAA-Temporary | | 22f8536b-3f3c-4bcc-ae1a-8f2ab0d8b950 | ELP1 cluman 10_09_2017 | | 70ef5911-208e-4cac-93e2-6fe9033db560 | ELP2 cluman 10_09_2017 | | e0b57fc9-e5c3-4b51-8b94-56cbccdf5401 | ESC-image | | 92dfe18c-df35-4aa9-8c52-9c663d3f839b | lgnaaa01-sept102017 | | 1461226b-4362-428b-bc90-0a98cbf33500 | tmobile-pcrf-13.1.1.iso | | 98275e15-37cf-4681-9bcc-d6ba18947d7b | tmobile-pcrf-13.1.1.qcow2 | +--------------------------------------+---------------------------+
6. Once you identify the snapshot to be downloaded (the one marked in green), you can download it on a QCOW2 format with the command glance image-download as depicted.
[root@elospd01 stack]# glance image-download 92dfe18c-df35-4aa9-8c52-9c663d3f839b --file /tmp/AAA-CPAR-LGNoct192017.qcow2 &
- The & sends the process to background. It takes some time to complete this action, once it is done, the image can be located at /tmp directory.
- On sending the process to background, if connectivity is lost, then the process is also stopped.
- Run the command disown -h so that in case SSH connection is lost, the process still runs and finishes on the OSPD.
7. Once the download process finishes, a compression process needs to be executed as that snapshot might be filled with ZEROES because of processes, tasks and temporary files handled by the OS. The command to be used for file compression is virt-sparsify.
[root@elospd01 stack]# virt-sparsify AAA-CPAR-LGNoct192017.qcow2 AAA-CPAR-LGNoct192017_compressed.qcow2
This process can take some time (around 10-15 minutes). Once finished, the resulting file is the one that needs to be transferred to an external entity as specified on next step.
Verification of the file integrity is required, in order to achieve this, run the next command and look for the “corrupt” attribute at the end of its output.
[root@wsospd01 tmp]# qemu-img info AAA-CPAR-LGNoct192017_compressed.qcow2 image: AAA-CPAR-LGNoct192017_compressed.qcow2 file format: qcow2 virtual size: 150G (161061273600 bytes) disk size: 18G cluster_size: 65536 Format specific information: compat: 1.1 lazy refcounts: false refcount bits: 16 corrupt: false
- In order to avoid a problem where the OSPD is lost, the recently created snapshot on QCOW2 format needs to be transferred to an external entity. Before you start the file transfer, you have to check if the destination has enough available disk space, run the command df –kh in order to verify the memory space. One advice is to transfer it to another site’s OSPD temporarily with the SFTP sftp root@x.x.x.x” where x.x.x.x is the IP of a remote OSPD. In order to speed up the transfer, the destination can be sent to multiple OSPDs. In the same way, you can run the command scp *name_of_the_file*.qcow2 root@ x.x.x.x:/tmp (where x.x.x.x is the IP of a remote OSPD) in order to transfer the file to another OSPD.
- Identify the VMs Hosted in the OSD-Compute Node.
- Identify the VMs that are hosted on the server.

After all the OSD processes have been migrated/deleted, the node can be removed from the overcloud.
Graceful Power Off
- Power off Node
- In order to power off the instance: nova stop <INSTANCE_NAME>
- You can see the instance name with the status shutoff.

- Node Deletion
The steps mentioned in this section are common irrespective of the VMs hosted in the compute node.
Delete OSD-Compute Node from the Service List.
- Delete the compute service from the service list:
[stack@director ~]$ openstack compute service list |grep osd-compute | 135 | nova-compute | pod2-stack-osd-compute-1.localdomain | AZ-esc2 | enabled | up | 2018-06-22T11:05:22.000000 | | 150 | nova-compute | pod2-stack-osd-compute-2.localdomain | nova | enabled | up | 2018-06-22T11:05:17.000000 | | 153 | nova-compute | pod2-stack-osd-compute-0.localdomain | AZ-esc1 | enabled | up | 2018-06-22T11:05:25.000000 |
- openstack compute service delete <ID>
[stack@director ~]$ openstack compute service delete 150
Delete Neutron Agents
- Delete the old associated neutron agent and open vswitch agent for the computeserver:
[stack@director ~]$ openstack network agent list | grep osd-compute-0 | eaecff95-b163-4cde-a99d-90bd26682b22 | Open vSwitch agent | pod2-stack-osd-compute-0.localdomain | None | True | UP | neutron-openvswitch-agent |
- openstack network agent delete <ID>
[stack@director ~]$ openstack network agent delete eaecff95-b163-4cde-a99d-90bd26682b22
Delete from Ironic Database
- Delete a node from the ironic database and verify it:
[root@director ~]# nova list | grep osd-compute-0 | 6810c884-1cb9-4321-9a07-192443920f1f | pod2-stack-osd-compute-0 | ACTIVE | - | Running | ctlplane=192.200.0.109 | [root@al03-pod2-ospd ~]$ nova delete 6810c884-1cb9-4321-9a07-192443920f1f
- nova show < compute -node> | grep hypervisor
[root@director ~]# source stackrc [root@director ~]# nova show pod2-stack-osd-compute-0 | grep hypervisor | OS-EXT-SRV-ATTR:hypervisor_hostname | 05ceb513-e159-417d-a6d6-cbbcc4b167d7
- ironic node-delete <ID>
[stack@director ~]$ ironic node-delete 05ceb513-e159-417d-a6d6-cbbcc4b167d7 [stack@director ~]$ ironic node-list
Node deleted must not be listed now in ironic node-list.
Delete from Overcloud
- Create a script file named delete_node.sh with the contents as shown. Ensure that the templates mentioned are same as the ones used in the deploy.sh script used for the stack deployment:
- delete_node.sh:
openstack overcloud node delete --templates -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/puppet-pacemaker.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/network-isolation.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/storage-environment.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/neutron-sriov.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/network.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/ceph.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/compute.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/layout.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/layout.yaml --stack <stack-name> <UUID>
[stack@director ~]$ source stackrc [stack@director ~]$ /bin/sh delete_node.sh + openstack overcloud node delete --templates -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/puppet-pacemaker.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/network-isolation.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/storage-environment.yaml -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/neutron-sriov.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/network.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/ceph.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/compute.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/layout.yaml -e /home/stack/custom-templates/layout.yaml --stack pod2-stack 7439ea6c-3a88-47c2-9ff5-0a4f24647444 Deleting the following nodes from stack pod2-stack: - 7439ea6c-3a88-47c2-9ff5-0a4f24647444 Started Mistral Workflow.

- Wait for the OpenStack stack operation to move to the COMPLETE state:
[stack@director ~]$ openstack stack list +--------------------------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | ID | Stack Name | Stack Status | Creation Time | Updated Time | +--------------------------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | 5df68458-095d-43bd-a8c4-033e68ba79a0 | pod2-stack | UPDATE_COMPLETE | 2018-05-08T21:30:06Z | 2018-05-08T20:42:48Z | +--------------------------------------+------------+-----------------+----------------------+----------------------+
Install New Compute Node
- The steps in order to install a new UCS C240 M4 server and the initial setup steps can be referred from:
Cisco UCS C240 M4 Server Installation and Service Guide
- After the installation of the server, insert the hard disks in the respective slots as the old server.
- Log in to server with the use of the CIMC IP.
- Perform BIOS upgrade if the firmware is not as per the recommended version used previously. Steps for BIOS upgrade are given here:
Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Server BIOS Upgrade Guide
- Verify the status of Physical drives. It must be Unconfigured Good:
Navigate to Storage > Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid Controller (SLOT-HBA) > Physical Drive Info as shown in this image.
- Create a virtual drive from the physical drives with RAID Level 1:
Navigate to Storage > Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid Controller (SLOT-HBA) > Controller Info > Create Virtual Drive from Unused Physical Drives as shown in this image.
- Select the VD and configure Set as Boot Drive as shown in the image.
- Enable IPMI over LAN:
Navigate to Admin > Communication Services > Communication Services as shown in the image.
- Disable hyperthreading:
Navigate to Compute > BIOS > Configure BIOS > Advanced > Processor Configuration as shown in the image.
- Similar to BOOTOS VD created with physical drives 1 and 2, create four more virtual drives as:
JOURNAL > From physical drive number 3 OSD1 > From physical drive number 7 OSD2 > From physical drive number 8 OSD3 > From physical drive number 9 OSD4 > From physical drive number 10
- At the end, the Physical drives and Virtual drives must be similar as shown in the images.
Add New OSD-Compute Node to Overcloud
The steps mentioned in this section are common irrespective of the VM hosted by the compute node.
- Add Compute server with a different index.
Create an add_node.json file with only the details of the new compute server to be added. Ensure that the index number for the new compute server has not been used before. Typically, increment the next highest compute value.
Example: Highest prior was osd-compute-17, therefore, created osd-compute-18 in case of 2-vnf system.
[stack@director ~]$ cat add_node.json
{
"nodes":[
{
"mac":[
"<MAC_ADDRESS>"
],
"capabilities": "node:osd-compute-3,boot_option:local",
"cpu":"24",
"memory":"256000",
"disk":"3000",
"arch":"x86_64",
"pm_type":"pxe_ipmitool",
"pm_user":"admin",
"pm_password":"<PASSWORD>",
"pm_addr":"192.100.0.5"
}
]
}
- Import the json file.
[stack@director ~]$ openstack baremetal import --json add_node.json Started Mistral Workflow.

Restore VMs
Recover Instance with Snapshot
It is possible to redeploy the previous instance with the snapshot taken in previous steps.
Step 1. (Optional) If there is no previous VM snapshot available then connect to the OSPD node where the backup was sent and SFTP the backup back to its original OSPD node. Using sftp root@x.x.x.xwhere x.x.x.x is the IP of a the original OSPD. Save the snapshot file in /tmp directory.
Step 2. Connect to the OSPD node where the instance is redeployed.
Source the environment variables with this command:
# source /home/stack/pod1-stackrc-Core-CPAR
Step 3. In order to use the snapshot as an image it is necessary to upload it to horizon as such. Run the next command to do so.
#glance image-create -- AAA-CPAR-Date-snapshot.qcow2 --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 --name AAA-CPAR-Date-snapshot
The process can be seen in horizon as shown in this image.
Step 4. In Horizon, navigate to Project > Instances and click Lauch Instance as shown in this image.
Step 5. Enter the Instance Name and choose the Availability Zone as shown in this image.
Step 6. In the Source tab, choose the image in order to create the instance. In the Select Boot Source menu, select image, a list of images are shown, choose the one that was previously uploaded by clickin on its + sign and as shown in this image.
Step 7. In the Flavor tab, choose the AAA flavor by clicking on the + sign as shown in this image.
Step 8. Finally, navigate to the Network tab and choose the networks that the instance needs by clicking on the + sign. For this case, select diameter-soutable1, radius-routable1 and tb1-mgmt as shown in this image.
Step 9. Finally, click on Launch Instance to create it. The progress can be monitored in Horizon is as shown in this image.
After a few minutes the instance will be completely deployed and ready for use.
Create and Assign Floating IP Address
A floating IP address is a routable address, which means that it’s reachable from the outside of Ultra M/Openstack architecture, and it’s able to communicate with other nodes from the network.
Step 1. In the Horizon top menu, navigate to Admin > Floating IPs.
Step 2. Click Allocate IP to Project.
Step 3. In the Allocate Floating IP window, select the Pool from which the new floating IP belongs, the Project where it is going to be assigned, and the new Floating IP Address itself.
For example:
Step 4. Click Allocate Floating IP.
Step 5. In the Horizon top menu, navigate to Project > Instances.
Step 6. In the Action column, click on the arrow that points down in the Create Snapshot button, a menu must be displayed. Select Associate Floating IP option.
Step 7. Select the corresponding floating IP address intended to be used in the IP Address field, and choose the corresponding management interface (eth0) from the new instance where this floating IP is going to be assigned in the Port to be associated. Refer the next image as an example of this procedure.
Step 8. Finally, click Associate.
Enable SSH
Step 1. In the Horizon top menu, navigate to Project > Instances.
Step 2. Click on the name of the instance/VM that was created in section Lunch a New Instance.
Step 3. Click Console. This will display the CLI of the VM.
Step 4. Once the CLI is displayed, enter the proper login credentials:
Username: root
Password: cisco123 as shown in this image.
Step 5. In the CLI, run the command vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config in order to edit the ssh configuration.
Step 6. Once the SSH configuration file is open, press I in orderto edit the file. Then look for the section shown here and change the first line from PasswordAuthentication no to PasswordAuthentication yes.
Step 7. Press ESC and enter :wq! to save sshd_config file changes.
Step 8. Run the command service sshd restart.
Step 9. In order to test SSH configuration changes have been correctly applied, open any SSH client and try to stablish a remote secure connection using the floating IP assigned to the instance (i.e. 10.145.0.249) and the user root.
Establish SSH Session
Step 1. Open a SSH session with the IP address of the corresponding VM/server where the application is installed as shown in this image.
CPAR Instance Start
Follow these steps, once the activity has been completed and CPAR services can be re-established in the Site that was shut down.
Step 1. Login back to Horizon, navigate to Project > Instance > Start Instance.
Step 2. Verify that the status of the instance is Active and the power state is Running as shown in this image.
Post-Activity Health Check
Step 1. Run the command /opt/CSCOar/bin/arstatus at OS level:
[root@wscaaa04 ~]# /opt/CSCOar/bin/arstatus Cisco Prime AR RADIUS server running (pid: 24834) Cisco Prime AR Server Agent running (pid: 24821) Cisco Prime AR MCD lock manager running (pid: 24824) Cisco Prime AR MCD server running (pid: 24833) Cisco Prime AR GUI running (pid: 24836) SNMP Master Agent running (pid: 24835) [root@wscaaa04 ~]#
Step 2. Run the command /opt/CSCOar/bin/aregcmd at OS level and enter the admin credentials. Verify that CPAr Health is 10 out of 10 and the exit CPAR CLI.
[root@aaa02 logs]# /opt/CSCOar/bin/aregcmd

Step 3. Run the command netstat | grep diameter and verify that all DRA connections are established.
The output mentioned here is for an environment where Diameter links are expected. If fewer links are displayed, this represents a disconnection from the DRA that needs to be analyzed.
[root@aa02 logs]# netstat | grep diameter tcp 0 0 aaa02.aaa.epc.:77 mp1.dra01.d:diameter ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 aaa02.aaa.epc.:36 tsa6.dra01:diameter ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 aaa02.aaa.epc.:47 mp2.dra01.d:diameter ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 aaa02.aaa.epc.:07 tsa5.dra01:diameter ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 aaa02.aaa.epc.:08 np2.dra01.d:diameter ESTABLISHED
Step 4. Check that the TPS log shows requests being processed by CPAR. The values highlighted represent the TPS and those are the ones you need to pay attention to.
The value of TPS must not exceed 1500.
[root@wscaaa04 ~]# tail -f /opt/CSCOar/logs/tps-11-21-2017.csv 11-21-2017,23:57:35,263,0 11-21-2017,23:57:50,237,0 11-21-2017,23:58:05,237,0 11-21-2017,23:58:20,257,0 11-21-2017,23:58:35,254,0 11-21-2017,23:58:50,248,0 11-21-2017,23:59:05,272,0 11-21-2017,23:59:20,243,0 11-21-2017,23:59:35,244,0 11-21-2017,23:59:50,233,0
Step 5. Look for any “error” or “alarm” messages in name_radius_1_log.
[root@aaa02 logs]# grep -E "error|alarm" name_radius_1_log
Step 6. In order to verify the amount of memory that the CPAR process used, run the command:
top | grep radius
[root@sfraaa02 ~]# top | grep radius 27008 root 20 0 20.228g 2.413g 11408 S 128.3 7.7 1165:41 radius
This highlighted value must be lower than 7Gb, which is the maximum allowed at application level.
