- Change TCA Infrastructure Automation behavior to only apply the host profile configuration to newly added cell site hosts in a cell site group as opposed to all hosts in the cell site group domain.
- Ensure TCA host profile apply tasks will complete within 15 minutes.
- Provide customizable parameter to configure a timeout for applying a TCA host profile configuration.
NOTE: If the BIOS or Firmware is not involved, the time to configure a host profile should not exceed 15 minutes. The user customize this timeout value at the TCA operator side, avoiding the 1 hour wait.
NOTE: These patches do persist after rebooting the TCA Manager.
NOTE: The 12GB of allocated memory (as per the TCA deployment guide) should be reserved in its entirely (100% reserved). This memory reservation is for TCA-CP, not both TCA and TCA-CP.
In Telco Cloud Automation (TCA) 2.0.X and 1.9.5, the task to apply a Host Profile for Cell Site Host(s) task hangs or is taking more than an hour to complete.
If one cell site host is in an unhealthy state and a user tries to add a new cell site host into the same cell site group, a resync is triggered on the host that is in a failed state causing the original add host operation to hang.
When a new host is added to a cell site domain with 1 or more previously provisioned hosts, a combined host profile task is initiated on all the hosts inside the domain, new ones plus provisioned hosts. This results in the Apply host profile task getting hung for a newly added host as the host profile task may not work on the previously provisioned host if certain conditions are not met e.g., nodepool was already deployed, the host is unreachable, the host is having NIC issues, etc.)
