Input data: OpenStack Icehouse, glance with swift backend. Admin username and password for swift service were changed. After this requests to download some images started to fail.

# glance --debug image-download <image_id> --file image_store_to --progress

returns 500 error for some image_ids and works for other.

in glance-api service log I see that for some reason previous user/password is still in use:

Was working on upgrading OpenStack lab from Havana to Icehouse release. It looks like it’s common problem after installation of new OpenStack service packages if you have MySQL db backend. db_sync command

# <service>-manage db_sync

returns error related to the issue with collation of some tables in database.

Here is an awesome post pouring some light on using node attributes during ServerSpec tests, but I have one tiny addition. It’s useful to have node attributes supplied by Ohai, so I’d add this to the respective recipe: --- a/test/fixtures/cookbooks/test-helper/recipes/default.rb 2014-12-19 16:55:02.636535159 -0800 +++ b/test/fixtures/cookbooks/test-helper/recipes/default.rb 2014-11-24 20:28:35.083708281 -0800 @@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ attrs = {} + attrs = attrs.deep_merge(node.automatic_attrs) unless node.automatic_attrs.empty? attrs = attrs.deep_merge(node.default_attrs) unless node.default_attrs.empty? attrs = attrs.deep_merge(node.normal_attrs) unless node.

Recently hit the problem with Chef server 11.0.12-1.ubuntu.12.04 trying to test updates for OpenStack StackForge cookbooks. stable/havana cookbooks depend on the cookbook openstack-common ~> 8.0, stable/icehouse depend on the cookbook openstack-common ~> 9.0
