2025.2 Series Release Notes¶

7.0.1-3¶

Fixed hypervisor display crash for hosts with dedicated (pinned) CPUs (LP#2154443). The Skyline Console now correctly handles compute hosts that use PCPU (physical CPU) inventory instead of VCPU, which occurs when cpu_dedicated_set is configured in nova.conf. The UI now displays the correct CPU type (vCPU, pCPU, or pCPU+vCPU for mixed configurations) in both the hypervisor list and detail views.

Fixed port forwarding creation failing because external_port and internal_port were sent as strings instead of integers to the Neutron API (LP#2112167). Single port values from the create and edit forms are now converted to integers before submission. Port ranges are unaffected as they use the external_port_range and internal_port_range string fields.

Fix Windows instance password handling. Previously, adminPass was hashed with SHA-512-crypt before being sent to Nova, which is incorrect for QEMU Guest Agent and Config Drive delivery. The hashing belongs only in getUserData() for cloud-init’s chpasswd --encrypted.

Additionally, metadata.admin_pass is now set so that cloudbase-init can retrieve the password via the HTTP metadata service. Without this, Windows instances could not set the admin password unless a Config Drive was attached, since Nova only exposes adminPass via Config Drive.

Linux user_data generation (chpasswd) is now skipped for Windows images, as cloudbase-init cannot use chpasswd. Custom user_data (e.g. PowerShell scripts) is passed through as-is. LP #2164759

Update: Instance detail logs tab View Full Log action now supports opening on URL and re-fetches log data on page reload.
