The following are known issues with OpenStack (Juno) in Oracle Solaris 11.3:
Only Nova nodes running Oracle Solaris are fully supported because Neutron supports only a single plugin for network virtualization.
Currently the Cinder volume attachment is not supported in the non-global zones.
VM instances must be running Oracle Solaris 11.3.
Resizing VM instances is not supported.
The nova resize command is not supported. Output from the nova resize command might say the command completed, but the nova resize-confirm command reports that the resizing of the instance cannot be confirmed, and the nova show command shows that the instance is not resized.
VM instance live migration is not supported.
The nova live-migration command is not supported.
Cinder backup is not supported.
The cinder-backup service is installed when you install the cinder package. However, in a default Cinder deployment such as described in Configuring the Storage Node, the service currently does not work for the backup_volume.
On the Launch Instance dialog in the dashboard, only Boot from image is supported for the Instance Boot Source. On the Project → Images & Snapshots → Actions menu, UploadToImage is not supported.
VXLAN datalinks are not supported as the value for the external_network_datalink option in the /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini file. If you set a VXLAN datalink as the value for the external_network_datalink option, the Neutron L3 agent fails to create and plumb a VNIC on the external network.
You must use the command line to modify the quota for a network resource for a project.
The quota for a network resource cannot be modified from Horizon. You can use the Horizon dashboard to create a project or modify non-network resources of an existing project. To modify the quota for networks, subnets, ports, routers, or floating IP addresses of a project, you must use the neutron quota-update command.
Even when you modify a non-network resource, you see the following error message. You can ignore this message. Contrary to this message, the quota for the non-network resource has been applied.
Error: Modified project information and members, but unable to modify project quotas.
Service status might be reported differently by SMF and by OpenStack.
The following example shows that the nova-cert service is disabled in OpenStack, even though SMF shows the service as online:
root@c190-133:~# nova service-disable c190-133 nova-cert +----------+-----------+----------+ | Host | Binary | Status | +----------+-----------+----------+ | c190-133 | nova-cert | disabled | +----------+-----------+----------+ root@c190-133:~# svcs nova-cert STATE STIME FMRI online 21:14:11 svc:/application/openstack/nova/nova-cert:default
