Firmware upgrades on OpenStack Production Controller nodes to address HPE AMD Server Vulnerabilities and Prep for OpenStack Upgrade March 2026
Description:
- Firmware upgrade on OpenStack Production Controller nodes a01cc01,a01cc02 and a01cc03
- This will also address recent HPE AMD Server Vulnerabilities and prepare for OpenStack Upgrades which will be done in March 2026
- The upgrade will be performed in a rolling fashion, so there will be 2 nodes always available to provide OpenStack controller services
Schedule:
-We will start with a01cc03,a01cc02 and a01cc01 last as there are application settings run exclusively out of this host (PDU metrics scraping)
- a01cc03 - Tuesday, Mar 17, 2026 from 10AM
- a01cc02 - Wednesday, Mar 18, 2026 from 10AM
- a01cc01 - Tuesday, Mar 19, 2026 from 10AM
Possible Impact:
- Possible intermittent or no access to FlexHPC Dashboard (web interface), FlexiHPC CLI interface and Public API of the FlexiHPC Service while each controller is under maintenance
- APC and HPE PDU metrics scraping will stop during the time a01cc01 will be worked on as its currently configured to scrape only from this controller. However, we will test with configuring a01cc02 during the upgrade of a01cc01 so there is no break in the metric scraping for those PDUs.
