| 14:07:11 | Sundar | However, Rodrigo is doing mostly the same thing. That's why I had asked if the Inspur person can do something else | |
| 14:07:12 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, Indian cuisine, I know curry rice. | |
| 14:07:34 | Sundar | shaohe: That's only one of it | |
| 14:08:08 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, yes, so anything else Inspur colleague can help? | |
| 14:08:42 | Sundar | Of course. We have lots of stuff in the driver/agent and agent/conductor side. That is not Intel-specific. | |
| 14:08:58 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, also roti prata | |
| 14:09:33 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, seem hongbo is not online | |
| 14:09:45 | Sundar | Yes, that too | |
| 14:09:50 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, maybe we need to take with him off line. | |
| 14:09:59 | Sundar | Sure | |
| 14:10:12 | shaohe_feng | now there will be more and more drivers cyborg will support | |
| 14:10:44 | shaohe_feng | we had better unify the return info from different drivers. | |
| 14:11:03 | Sundar | I think one thing we missed in the spec is that the objects exchanged by the driver and the agent should be Oslo versioned objects (ovo), not plain dictionaries | |
| 14:11:27 | shaohe_feng | ^ Sundar, Li_Liu dolpher wangzhh any suggestion on it. | |
| 14:11:34 | shaohe_feng | Coco, is working on it. | |
| 14:12:22 | Sundar | Coco is working on OVOs for driver/agent API? | |
| 14:13:08 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, can your VAN model be used for return data? | |
| 14:14:09 | shaohe_feng | Coco, are you available? | |
| 14:14:30 | Sundar | Yes, VANs can be used to return data. Are you still referring to driver/agent API? Or the plugins? | |
| 14:15:06 | shaohe_feng | driver/agent API | |
| 14:15:23 | Sundar | shaohe: BTW, I saw your comments on the os-acc spec. I will reply. I am looking to reconcile with Eric Fied first because that is the larger picture. Changes there can affect the details we are discussing | |
| 14:16:09 | Sundar | I pinged efried last week and got a reply. I will try to close the loop with him today and tomorrow, and will update the spec based on that | |
| 14:16:11 | shaohe_feng | great, hard work. Thanks. | |
| 14:16:51 | Sundar | NP | |
| 14:17:04 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, So the VANS can also be used for os-acc and cyborg driver, right? | |
| 14:17:19 | Sundar | Yes. | |
| 14:17:24 | shaohe_feng | great. | |
| 14:18:10 | shaohe_feng | seem Coco is not on line, we can discuss it by mail. | |
| 14:18:18 | shaohe_feng | night xinran__ | |
| 14:18:47 | shaohe_feng | LI_Liu, wangzhh, dolpher any suggestion on this topic? | |
| 14:20:26 | shaohe_feng | jiangguocai, evening | |
| 14:20:29 | wangzhh | Sorry. I lost connection just now. | |
| 14:20:32 | LI_Liu | Regarding the driver/agent API. I don't have much comments, one thing needs to be aware of is to make sure the data structure from driver is understandable by the agent | |
| 14:20:36 | shaohe_feng | and welcome. | |
| 14:21:06 | LI_Liu | e.g. Physical_Functions/Virtual_Functions | |
| 14:21:16 | shaohe_feng | LI_Liu, agree. | |
| 14:21:20 | LI_Liu | but not Deployables tho | |
| 14:21:25 | wangzhh | Yep. Agree. | |
| 14:22:16 | Sundar | Li_Liu: "but not Deployables tho" Can you elaborate on what you mean here? | |
| 14:22:28 | jiangguocai | hello everyone | |
| 14:22:31 | LI_Liu | Other than that, Driver can do pretty much w/e they feel like to do | |
| 14:22:52 | dolpher | Using oslo version object would be part of that? I think using ovo is good | |
| 14:23:22 | LI_Liu | Deployable is a data type not exposed to others out side of Cyborg DB/Object | |
| 14:23:23 | wangzhh | Do we need extra ovo for driver data structure? I mean could we reuse the exists acc and deployable? | |
| 14:24:16 | Sundar | Wangzhh: The existing objects exchanged by driver/agent should be come OVOs. That basically means the fields become well-defined, a version and a namespace get added | |
| 14:24:42 | shaohe_feng | and will rebase on LI_Liu's original client. | |
| 14:24:45 | Sundar | We could use the same namespace for all driver/agent objects, but whether that should be the same namespace as for os-acc plugin is something we can discuss | |
| 14:25:47 | Sundar | Li_Liu: I think you are saying Deployables need not be converted into OVOs. Sounds reasonable, | |
| 14:26:00 | Sundar | Sure | |
| 14:26:53 | LI_Liu | hmm But Deployable is super class of Physical_Function and Virtual_Functions | |
| 14:27:15 | wangzhh | SundarLet me see. Something is different between them, | |
| 14:27:22 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, OK, can you send an email or spec to elaborate how driver/agent use VANs? | |
| 14:27:36 | wangzhh | I'll add comment later in the spec. | |
| 14:28:04 | shaohe_feng | jiangguocai, any things want to talks about the placement. | |
| 14:28:50 | Sundar | shaohe: yes, I will expand os-acc spec and driver/agent spec to address that | |
| 14:29:02 | shaohe_feng | xinran__, is here. she know well about how placement works during the how process in openstack. | |
| 14:29:25 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, good thanks. | |
| 14:30:02 | shaohe_feng | any others want to discuss on placement? | |
| 14:30:11 | wangzhh | Li liu, we should have a clear name for the acc unit(deployable). Now, we use the deployable which will make user confused. | |
| 14:30:33 | LI_Liu | well, I know.. | |
| 14:31:23 | LI_Liu | But given that we should not let them know at the first place anyways... | |
| 14:32:02 | shaohe_feng | #action Sundar will expand os-acc spec and driver/agent spec to address VANs usage | |
| 14:33:29 | wangzhh | IMHO, If we had doc to explain it, I think call it deployable is OK. :) | |
| 14:33:32 | xinran__ | sorry I lost the connection for a while | |
| 14:33:53 | Sundar | Li_Liu and wangzhh: trying to understand the discussion here. I think you are saying this: "PF/VF objects are inherited from Deployables, but PF/VFS are exchanged between driver/agent. So, how can we make PF/VFs into OVOs, but not Deployables? " Is this right? | |
| 14:34:53 | Coco | #info Coco | |
| 14:35:04 | LI_Liu | Yes, that's kinda what we meant | |
| 14:35:06 | shaohe_feng | Coco, evening. | |
| 14:35:15 | xinran__ | jiangguocai: plz feel fee to let us know if you wanna ask something about placement | |
| 14:35:24 | xinran__ | #info xinran__ | |
| 14:35:40 | jiangguocai | shaohe_feng: l reviewed your code about placement client. but not called in other code | |
| 14:35:56 | LI_Liu | #info Li Liu | |
| 14:36:46 | wangzhh | Hi, xinran__, PLZ look at the comment in line. I have the same question. | |
| 14:36:56 | Sundar | Li_Liu: The PF/VF stored in the DB will be a different object than the OVO exchanged between drivers/agent for PF/VF. The latter is exposed, the former is Cyborg-internal. | |
| 14:37:04 | jiangguocai | shaohe_feng: do you want to design it for a service？ | |
| 14:37:21 | edleafe | #info Ed Leafe | |
| 14:37:28 | shaohe_feng | jiangguocai, no, it just a lib | |
| 14:37:30 | wangzhh | Welcome! | |
| 14:37:35 | shaohe_feng | morning efried | |
| 14:37:54 | efried | shaohe_feng: ō/ | |
| 14:38:07 | Coco | what's the topic now? can't catch much of your discussion. | |
| 14:38:07 | LI_Liu | Sundar: Thank you for the clearification | |
| 14:38:08 | efried | We having a meeting? | |
| 14:38:31 | xinran__ | wangzhh: which comment? Sorry, I just lost the connection... | |
| 14:39:27 | wangzhh | https://review.openstack.org/#/c/585146/ | |
| 14:39:35 | shaohe_feng | edleafe, we have add many amazing features theses days, os-acc, cyborg-client. will be ready for the interaction with nova in next release. | |
| 14:39:36 | wangzhh | Here. | |
| 14:39:55 | shaohe_feng | edleafe, and we need your help on nova side. :) | |
| 14:39:58 | Sundar | efried: yes, this is the Cyborg drivers meeting, which happens Mondays 7 am PDT. | |
| 14:40:34 | edleafe | shaohe_feng: My involvement with the Nova project has been greatly reduced. You will probably have more success with efried | |
| 14:40:52 | xinran__ | wangzhh: let me have a look | |
| 14:41:26 | shaohe_feng | edleafe, ok, thanks. | |
| 14:42:04 | shaohe_feng | Sundar, have talked with efried on nova interaction? | |
| 14:42:44 | Sundar | shaohe: the entire os-acc spec discussion is an extended conversation with efried :) | |
| 14:43:05 | shaohe_feng | these days we are so busy, sorry for the delay. | |
| 14:44:28 | shaohe_feng | but any one wants to learn more about how placement work during the cyborg/nova interaction. can discuss with xinran__ | |
| 14:44:54 | Sundar | shaohe: NP. | |
| 14:45:01 | Sundar | efried: Saw your reply in the spec. I can explain the Cyborg driver model. Would you be available at 9 am PDT? | |
| 14:45:02 | LI_Liu | I have to drop guys. Have a good night/day | |
| 14:45:26 | shaohe_feng | LI_Liu, have a good day. Bye. | |
