#openstack-nova - 2017-03-24
19:20:03 nkorabli well, shelving is a mystery thing for me. As I would say it's kind of a rudiment.. I maybe wrong here :)
19:22:38 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: PowerVM Driver: config drive https://review.openstack.org/409404
19:22:40 nkorabli but basically, it is maybe useful when you need to save resources.. Like - this VM won't be used for next week/month, but then you will need it, so you shelve and unshelve it... But I am not sure about it either.
19:23:58 mriedem well that's the idea yeah
19:24:07 mriedem why the admin would do it though, i'm not sure
19:25:24 mordred mriedem: looking
19:26:08 mordred mriedem: I have not played with shared images yet, no - although I'm starting to feel like maybe I shoud ...
19:26:19 openstack Launchpad bug 1675791 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Instance created by demo user(non-admin), shelved by admin and unshelved by demo user --> ends up in error state " [Undecided,Invalid]
19:26:19 mriedem nkorabli: see if this makes sense https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1675791/comments/10
19:26:23 mriedem but i think image membership is what we need
19:26:46 mriedem basically, if the admin shelves a user's instance, the admin owns the image, but the instance user owner needs to be a member on the share dimage,
19:26:48 mriedem *shared image
19:26:49 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: PowerVM Driver: spawn/destroy #3: TaskFlow https://review.openstack.org/438729
19:26:55 mriedem so the instance user can later unshelve the instance,
19:27:13 mriedem the docs say an image member can't see the image when listing images until they accept the membership,
19:27:20 mriedem but they can GET the image if they know the specific ID
19:27:22 mriedem which we do in the unshelve case
19:27:26 mriedem nkorabli: i think that's the fix
19:28:01 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: PowerVM Driver: spawn/destroy #4: full flavor https://review.openstack.org/391288
19:28:38 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: PowerVM Driver: console https://review.openstack.org/409402
19:29:08 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: PowerVM Driver: SSP emphemeral disk support https://review.openstack.org/443189

19:30:09 efried adreznec esberglu The whole pile is ready for subteam +1s again.
19:30:20 efried Got up to cfg_drv this time.
19:30:25 efried Will update the etherpad accordingly.
19:30:39 esberglu efried: ack
19:30:59 efried (mriedem I'm gonna keep the bottom one in "ready for your review" section - changes trivial since last subteam +1)
19:46:12 openstackgerrit Artom Lifshitz proposed openstack/nova master: API support for tagged device attachment https://review.openstack.org/376021
19:46:33 nkorabli mriedem: alright! I see. Still think that if it's shelved by admin - user shouldn't be able to unshelve it, though :) But it's kind of a bikeshed probablu
19:46:42 nkorabli *probably
19:47:18 nkorabli so should I change the ticket status?
19:47:19 mriedem nkorabli: in that case, i'd ask in the dev and operators mailing list since this is a latent issue
19:47:33 mriedem nkorabli: i'm genuinely curious what operators think about this
19:48:27 melwitt if the instance is owned by the user, I don't see why they shouldn't be able to unshelve it, no matter who shelved it
19:48:40 mriedem melwitt: i agree
19:48:49 mriedem nkorabli: do you want to send that email or should i?
19:48:55 nkorabli mriedem: Agree, it make sense
19:49:50 nkorabli mriedem: I can do this, just may need your help if someone won't get the idea..
19:51:28 nkorabli just don't have any experience with mailing lists.. Is there any requirements of how I have to ask questions there?
19:53:37 mriedem no, just state the problem and proposed solution, and see if anyone has a problem with that
19:53:55 mriedem ask in the openstack-dev and openstack-operators mailing lists, and prefix the subject with [nova] so it filters properly
19:55:19 melwitt a use case I can invent for why an admin would shelve something is if they need to free up some resources to do something temporarily and might leave it up to the instance owners to unshelve their stuff later
19:58:00 openstackgerrit John Garbutt proposed openstack/nova-specs master: WIP: Add policy-remove-scope-checks spec https://review.openstack.org/433037
19:58:05 melwitt or maybe if admin notices X instances have been idle for Y days, shelve those instances and users have a grace period to unshelve, else their instances will be deleted by admin. I dunno
19:58:36 mriedem we used to have an auto shutdown thing in our internal dev cloud
19:58:43 mriedem where after 2 weeks your vm was shutdown
19:59:09 mriedem some of that was tied to licenses on the os i think
19:59:21 mriedem if you were using a vm for longer than 2 weeks we had to register it for internal compliance audits and such
19:59:22 nkorabli I guess there is some shelve offload time option? Like it will be automatically destroyed after some period of time, or not?
19:59:35 mriedem nkorabli: yes, by default it offloads immediately
19:59:44 mriedem offload == delete the guest from the hypervisor
20:00:01 mriedem so when you unshelve, we have to build the guest again on another compute
20:00:57 nkorabli Ohh... I see! I wasn't sure what the difference between 'shelved' and 'shelved_offloaded'.
20:01:00 nkorabli Cool
20:01:21 melwitt yeah, but shelved instances still take up quota. so deleting them while they're offloaded would free up quota for others in the tenant
20:03:05 melwitt which reminds me, I need to keep an eye on that for how it works with counting
20:03:42 nkorabli mriedem: Thanks a lot for your attention! :) Will send an e-mail today or tomorrow morning.
20:04:46 mriedem nkorabli: np, thanks for persisting on this one
20:13:10 jroll mriedem: sorry, I was being half serious about the forensics thing - i.e. that behavior being a feature for an admin taking a snapshot for purposes of criminal investigation or whatever
20:18:57 mriedem jroll: ack
20:19:15 mriedem sdague: on a server update, i see we call the server view builder show() method and return that in the response body,
20:19:31 mriedem what i'm unclear of, is does that trigger the server show extensions to add their special bits to the response?
20:22:25 mriedem for example, when i look at https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/extended_volumes.py
20:22:33 mriedem that extends the show and detail methods for the servers resource
20:22:49 mriedem but that will only be called on a GET for servers, right?
20:23:01 mriedem it would have nothing to do with the response for a POST or PUT
20:23:08 mriedem the server view builder just does it's own thing
20:25:05 mriedem reason i ask is we currently list os-extended-volumes:volumes_attached in the response for server create and update, and i think those are wrong
20:29:33 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: api-ref: fix os-extended-volumes:volumes_attached in servers responses https://review.openstack.org/449809

20:43:20 efried adreznec esberglu mriedem ^^ Trivial rebases all the way up, because of a change to exception.py (In case you were in the middle of reviewing previous patch set.)
20:43:48 mriedem i was not
20:44:01 efried But, you know, just in case.
20:44:04 mriedem you seem unable to sit still on that bottom change
20:44:18 mriedem are you addressing feedback from within the powervm team or other?
20:44:32 efried No. It's only rebases. The tip of the master branch is a moving target.
20:45:43 efried Only real change since 3/16 (PS6) has been requirements update for new pypowervm release.
20:47:21 efried ...and flake8-import-order, which seems to have come in waves of increasing strictness.
20:49:24 efried Bottom two are the only ones that touch common files so far; so after those are in, we can expect a lot less no-op churn.
20:57:49 mriedem has this kind of spec come up before besides the spec around kilo/liberty to allow adding more servers to an existing group? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/389216/2
20:58:13 mriedem ^ is basically, add config that reserves 'slots' in a server group for additional later servers in the same group for affinity to the same host
21:10:59 mriedem jroll: is this still an issue? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/321014/
21:11:03 mriedem because that patch is really old
21:13:07 openstackgerrit Maxim Nestratov proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: Virtuozzo containers config drive support https://review.openstack.org/449818
21:22:06 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Empty machine_id file causes get_sysinfo_serial_auto to fail. https://review.openstack.org/343943
21:25:03 mriedem tjones: someone from the vmware subteam might want to pick this up if it's still valid https://review.openstack.org/#/c/402256/
21:30:23 tjones sure. looking
21:31:11 tjones yes we will. i'll ping yang to pick it back up
21:52:14 tjones this one too https://review.openstack.org/#/c/270116/
21:56:25 efried mdbooth Anyone reporting [[os.fsync(data.fileno()) OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument]] since https://review.openstack.org/#/c/443583/ ?
22:03:56 efried (Thing is, I don't know how that call can get EINVAL. Different errors occur if, e.g., the fileno is bogus, or the file is closed, or anything else I can come up with.)
22:16:38 eandersson_ Anyone experienced an issue with large images causing nova to try to fail to set up the network, and ends up creating two neutron ports (since it fails with a neutron timeout)?
22:17:12 eandersson_ > nova.compute.manager ConnectTimeout: Request to http://netutron:9696/v2.0/ports.json timed out
