14:53:22 snikitin alex_xu: Hi Alex! I got two +2 on this patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/394480/ can I get a +W, please?
14:53:41 dansmith johnthetubaguy: do you think it's too borderline?
14:53:49 bauzas but we said placement is mandatory for ocata, right?
14:54:02 dansmith johnthetubaguy: I feel like we've already agreed we're going to make this decision
14:54:03 dansmith right
14:54:03 bauzas so that means you have to access it when restarting your services
14:54:04 dansmith what bauzas said
14:54:05 dansmith and we're logging on newton
14:54:28 johnthetubaguy dansmith: I think I am OK because we get a massive gain, so we stick with it
14:54:31 bauzas here, we're just trying to allow newton computes that are untouched to still be able to get instances on them
14:54:58 dansmith johnthetubaguy: but really, it was optional in newton, required in ocata, and this is just enforcing that no?
14:55:21 bauzas dansmith: to summarize, if I'm bumping the service version now, that would mean I'm sure the service is upgraded to ocata
14:55:49 johnthetubaguy dansmith: I think the key bit that makes me OK, is they just need to update the config on the old system before they do the upgrade, if they haven't done that
14:55:54 mriedem o/
14:56:05 dansmith bauzas: you don't need to bump it now, but if you're going to make the computes refuse to start, I'd call that a service version.. otherwise you're adding a number that doesn't have any real meaning
14:56:06 bauzas now, the only question would be : should we silently soft-fail and do nothing with the risk for operators that they could loose capacity if they misconfigure ?
14:56:19 johnthetubaguy big fire, always the big fire
14:56:24 dansmith johnthetubaguy: right, and they could have done that in newton months ago if they wanted to be proactive
14:56:29 bauzas dansmith: the thing is that we haven't bumped the version in Ocata
14:56:36 dansmith bauzas: not at all?
14:56:36 johnthetubaguy dansmith: yeah, I think thats what makes me OK with it
14:56:52 bauzas dansmith: I'm still seeing version 15 in my local master branch
14:56:59 dansmith mriedem: read back to my "let me summarize" comment to cdent
14:57:03 mriedem what are we doing with a min service version check?
14:57:04 dansmith bauzas: then yes you need to add one
14:57:12 johnthetubaguy yeah, just add one
14:57:23 bauzas on it
14:57:23 dansmith mriedem: thinking we will add a fallback to RT data _if_ the computes are not all upgraded
14:57:27 dansmith mriedem: in the scheduler
14:57:38 bauzas and we hard-fail, as johnthetubaguy said
14:57:39 dansmith mriedem: which will let us get past grenade, and give the deployers a little longer grace period
14:58:15 dansmith mriedem: once they upgrade all their computes, scheduler will stop looking at RT data
14:58:29 dansmith mriedem: which means if they only change config during the upgrade they will still be fine
14:58:55 dansmith mriedem: whereas before, we had to make them configure their newton computes before starting the controller upgrade
14:59:25 mriedem we only fallback if we don't get any RPs *and* minimum compute isn't new enough right?
14:59:26 sfinucan claudiub|2: I looked at that and it seems fine, but I think one of Moshe's questions still stands
14:59:41 dansmith mriedem: no we have to always fallback if computes are old
14:59:54 mriedem so don't even check placement until then?
14:59:56 johnthetubaguy otherwise you get incomplete data, and the test we want to pass will still fail
14:59:57 sfinucan ...and I don't think I can approve until one of ye proves it's not a problem :)
15:00:02 dansmith mriedem: because otherwise after one compute reports RPs you'd hard switch and have a 1-compute cloud
15:00:46 mriedem johnthetubaguy: the test would pass if we would fallback to computenodelist.get_all if there were 0 RPs, but yes i understand we'd have a 1 compute cloud for awhile
15:00:57 mriedem fwiw we talked about that weeks ago and people thought that was ok and a small window
15:01:04 johnthetubaguy mriedem: I was thinking the force host thing, but yeah
15:01:18 dansmith mriedem: I think that was about waiting for the 60-second timer,
15:01:27 dansmith mriedem: but it could be weeks if you upgrade one compute as a test
15:01:43 dansmith mriedem: in this scenario
15:03:56 mriedem dansmith: was refering to this http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-December/109060.html
15:04:16 sfinucan snikitin: Done and done
15:04:57 mriedem but whatever, that was before we had a blocking issue with grenade
15:04:58 dansmith mriedem: right but that was a thing that is triggered by doing the controller upgrade, right? this would be a thing triggered by the first compute upgrade
15:05:09 sfinucan claudiub|2: Call me a fool, but wasn't this kind of request what we were implementing qualitative resources for? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/420960
15:06:19 snikitin sfinucan, thanks!
15:06:27 dansmith mriedem: meaning, I think before we were assuming 1. Configure computes for placement, 2. upgrade controllers, 3. wait 60s for data to filter before scheduling works properly
15:06:29 sfinucan johnthetubaguy: would it be too cheeky of me to +2 this, given that I addressed comments on it? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/415597
15:06:32 claudiub|2 sfinucan: sure, but that is being used for the ImageMetaProps object. that still has to exist
15:06:40 dansmith mriedem: now, it would be 1. upgrade controllers, 2. upgrade one compute, 3. stuck until you upgrade more computes
15:07:49 sfinucan claudiub|2: Ah, that's how the instance would request those properties while resource providers is for hosts publishing that information
15:08:01 claudiub|2 yep
15:08:06 sfinucan gotcha
15:08:35 mriedem dansmith: maybe, i know there have been several threads on this, and basically at this point those don't really matter :)
15:08:48 dansmith aye
15:08:51 mriedem i'm just reading back through the responses from the ML from earlier today
15:09:13 sfinucan snikitin: If you could take a look at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/405954/ (and the follow up) today, I'd appreciate it. Think you should know enough about that code to comment
15:09:47 johnthetubaguy sfinucan: usually I would say no, depends how you feel I guess.
15:10:40 sfinucan johnthetubaguy: Sweet - I'll go for it so. It looks good and would be good to get it in
15:10:51 snikitin sfinucan, sure
15:11:01 bauzas dansmith: question, what should I hard-fail ?
15:11:34 bauzas dansmith: just that the placement section is empty, or that we aren't able to call the placement API by doing a query?
15:11:54 bauzas dansmith: I'd favor a real test call
15:12:02 dansmith bauzas: just that the config isn't there I think
15:12:07 dansmith bauzas: doing a real call in the middle of init_host to check that and failing would be terrible
15:12:16 dansmith bauzas: because if it fails for some legit reason, computes wouldn't start
15:12:24 bauzas dansmith: okay
15:13:25 mriedem what do we need to touch init_host in the compute for?
15:13:53 bauzas mriedem: for preventing ocata computes to start if they haven't filled in their placement section
15:14:02 dansmith mriedem: to drive home that placement config is required
15:14:10 dansmith mriedem: i.e. like anything else, there's not much point in starting if we don't have sufficient config to do anything
15:14:29 claudiub|2 sfinucan: so, VFs / PFs won't show up as assignable PCI devices, rather those are requested from Hyper-V, and Hyper-V will then assign them to the VMs.
15:14:49 sfinucan claudiub|2: as what? VIFs?
15:14:53 johnthetubaguy bauzas: +1 what dansmith said, that sounds right
15:15:15 bauzas johnthetubaguy: dansmith: and it would raise an exception if not CONF.placement?
15:15:33 mriedem ok so the grenade case should be ok b/c newton subnode will be running and ocata compute will have config so will start
15:15:42 dansmith mriedem: right
15:15:43 mriedem but scheduler will use the old RT data because of the newton compute
15:15:47 dansmith yes
15:16:00 claudiub|2 sfinucan: yeah. The vif has a property - if it SR-IOV is enabled for it or not. by default it is false.
15:16:02 dansmith bauzas: yes, or whatever will arrest init_host cleanly
15:16:13 bauzas dansmith: that's my question
15:16:17 bauzas dansmith: should we log and stop ?
15:16:26 bauzas or should we more like "sorry dude"
15:16:36 dansmith I dunno what that means
15:16:40 bauzas heh
15:16:43 bauzas I mean
15:16:45 bauzas two choices
15:16:58 bauzas #1 log an ERROR and return
15:17:07 bauzas #2 raise an exception
15:17:16 bauzas I'd favor #1
15:17:28 dansmith bauzas: that won't stop compute from starting
15:17:38 dansmith that will just leave it further hamstrung
