Necessary to download pivnet stemcells and restore them? about pcf-pipelines HOT 11 CLOSED

@aegershman @wbean1
confirmed that you can remove download-pivnet-stemcells and restore-stemcells tasks from the upgrading pipeline as a temporary workaround.

They are some legacy code remained to address some 1.x OpsMan version when it did not bundle with the required stemcell. Since each pipeline release is to address a specific OpsMan version. there is no point to have those tasks remain around.

We are in the process of cutting a new release to address the issue. For now, just remove those two tasks from the upgrade-ops-manager pipeline and it should work.

We have created an issue in Pivotal Tracker to manage this. Unfortunately, the Pivotal Tracker project is private so you may be unable to view the contents of the story.

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

I'm not sure I follow on the Possible Fix 1. What does the import/export have to do with the stemcells?

Edit: You mean the actual stemcell files?

Sorry, I mean that if the process of upgrading opsmgr no longer requires that you re-import all the stemcells after you upgrade (which is shown here in the upgrade-opsmgr-pipeline), then download-pivnet-stemcells and restore-stemcells are no longer required at all

The pipelines are certified to work with opsmgr 2.0.x, so maybe restoring the stemcells is no longer needed in later versions.

👍 we're experiencing this issue as well, even on v0.23.7 as pcf-pipelines/tasks/download-pivnet-stemcells/task.sh does not have support for the xenial stemcell slug. I'm also not sure this step is needed, as opsmgr apply works fine even after it errors.

@wbean1, how are you pulling the version, from Pivnet release or Github?

from pcf-pipelines.

@jtarchie currently sourcing from pivnet, but I can switch if you'd like us to test a tag. We were using the v0.23.7-rc.6 git tag for a few days to get us through all the tile upgrades that fetch xenial.

Are you getting the error messages?
What tiles is this affecting for you?

I'd like to recreate it locally.

from pcf-pipelines.

all tiles work fine now, its the upgrade-opsmgr pipeline, task download-stemcells (pcf-pipelines/tasks/download-pivnet-stemcells/task.yml) that fails if your opsmgr has any xenial stemcells already imported. We're specifically running the vcenter pipeline, but it looks like all the iaas's would encounter this issue.

Thanks, we'll take a look.

Thanks for the confirmation, I appreciate it 👍
