| 18:24:32 | openstackgerrit | Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: deprecate ``wsgi_log_format`` config variable https://review.openstack.org/486623 | |
| 18:24:33 | openstackgerrit | Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: request_log addition for running under uwsgi https://review.openstack.org/485602 | |
| 18:24:34 | s-dean | haha, is my install screwed ? | |
| 18:24:34 | dansmith | s-dean: might want to start fresh if it's not too much trouble and avoid any of that cellsv1 stuff, depending | |
| 18:24:43 | s-dean | ok i will od | |
| 18:24:45 | s-dean | do | |
| 18:24:54 | mriedem | fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to cells v1 | |
| 18:24:55 | dansmith | it's definitely rescue-able, but if you're trying to nail down a procedure it'll be confusing from here | |
| 18:25:04 | dansmith | cellsv1 leads to? | |
| 18:25:13 | mriedem | showing up in nova freenode irc? | |
| 18:25:15 | openstackgerrit | Ken'ichi Ohmichi proposed openstack/nova master: Remove the useless FakeExt https://review.openstack.org/486415 | |
| 18:25:21 | s-dean | xD | |
| 18:25:26 | mriedem | which is equivalent to the dark side | |
| 18:25:38 | openstackgerrit | Ken'ichi Ohmichi proposed openstack/nova master: Remove the useless extension block_device_mapping_v1 object https://review.openstack.org/486069 | |
| 18:25:49 | openstackgerrit | Ken'ichi Ohmichi proposed openstack/nova master: Remove the useless fake ExtensionManager from API unittests https://review.openstack.org/486416 | |
| 18:25:52 | s-dean | awww man wish i came here sooner, i dont like asking for help i prefer to bash it out, and use google | |
| 18:25:58 | openstackgerrit | Ken'ichi Ohmichi proposed openstack/nova master: Move the note about '/os-volume_boot' to the correct place https://review.openstack.org/486071 | |
| 18:27:04 | mriedem | sdague: requestlog thing is approved | |
| 18:27:13 | mriedem | sdague: you want to skim over this hot little number? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/485435/ | |
| 18:27:20 | openstackgerrit | Ed Leafe proposed openstack/nova master: Migrate Ironic Flavors https://review.openstack.org/484949 | |
| 18:35:51 | dansmith | jaypipes: edleafe: I was thinking that the ironic node class was required now.. do we really need to concern ourselves with that not being set? | |
| 18:35:58 | s-dean | shouldnt that config option be removed from the docs ? | |
| 18:36:03 | s-dean | https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/config-reference/compute/cells.html | |
| 18:36:13 | dansmith | s-dean: we can't yet | |
| 18:36:27 | dansmith | s-dean: people still run that stuff and have to for a bit longer | |
| 18:36:55 | s-dean | a fair enough | |
| 18:42:22 | mriedem | s-dean: we're in the process of moving those docs into nova, at which point we can put a big fat warning at the top saying that's for cells v1 | |
| 18:43:04 | edleafe | jaypipes: regarding your comments about splitting the patch for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/486215/, do you want me to build the list of alternates, but continue to only return the selected hosts? And then change all the method signatures in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/486253/ ? | |
| 18:43:57 | edleafe | dansmith: I asked dtantsur|afk about that. He said that while adding the resource_class attribute was required, populating it completely was not | |
| 18:44:27 | dansmith | edleafe: okay so, we should check it and if it's not present, log a warning and bail? | |
| 18:45:38 | edleafe | dansmith: if it's not present, just skip | |
| 18:46:26 | dansmith | edleafe: we have to log a warning, since not having it set will lead to brokenness later, but.. your code currently is not skipping right? | |
| 18:46:47 | dansmith | in PS10 I mean | |
| 18:47:26 | edleafe | dansmith: correct. Want me to add some safety stuff there? | |
| 18:47:57 | dansmith | edleafe: yeah, warn and skip if unset, test for those cases and then I think we can land this and argue about the batching after | |
| 18:48:38 | s-dean | mriedem: that would be brilliant. before i head home for the night, can i specify in keystone, glance and nova their database connections to be localhost skipping the need for TLS, or do they need to be specified with a network address like in the docs? do the other service such as neutron and and nova-compute need to access the DB over the network? | |
| 18:49:04 | edleafe | dansmith: ok cool. I asked in -ironic about how often the compute service would be restarted. Got one answer from jroll, and that was he only did it during upgrades | |
| 18:49:12 | edleafe | IOW, not a common thing for him | |
| 18:49:22 | mriedem | s-dean: nova-compute definitely does not use the db locally | |
| 18:49:35 | mriedem | i don't know about the various neutron agents | |
| 18:49:37 | dansmith | edleafe: heh, sure, but jroll knows what he's doing | |
| 18:49:39 | mriedem | or cinder-volume | |
| 18:49:58 | dansmith | edleafe: like I said there are other config management approaches that are pretty darn restart happy | |
| 18:50:13 | dansmith | I know of one very specifically | |
| 18:50:15 | dansmith | one that has lots of Os in it | |
| 18:53:36 | mriedem | s-dean: got it https://review.openstack.org/#/c/486724/ | |
| 18:53:43 | jaypipes | edleafe: re: separate patch, yeah, I'm thinking it's best to generate that list of alternates in the first patch (but not change the returned value from select_destinations() and then in the followup patch, change the RPC API signature and the corresponding conductor stuff | |
| 18:53:55 | s-dean | mriedem: I'm installing a general compute cloud, nothing to fancy, | |
| 18:54:03 | openstackgerrit | Merged openstack/nova master: placement: add retry tight loop claim_resources() https://review.openstack.org/486170 | |
| 18:54:06 | s-dean | mriedem: cheers :) | |
| 18:54:13 | dansmith | jaypipes: edleafe agreed | |
| 18:54:16 | mriedem | s-dean: but the nova-compute services are running on separate hosts right/ | |
| 18:54:19 | mriedem | ? | |
| 18:54:24 | s-dean | yes | |
| 18:54:29 | mriedem | nova-compute will interact with the db via nova-conductor | |
| 18:54:33 | s-dean | compute01 | |
| 18:54:38 | s-dean | ok sweet | |
| 18:54:45 | edleafe | jaypipes: ok, so the last change will go from the current return of a list of hosts to the monsterous list of hosts+alternates+allocation_candidates, right? | |
| 18:54:49 | mriedem | so if nova-conductor is on the control nodes local to the db, then you could use localhost for nova.conf for conductor | |
| 18:54:51 | mriedem | but not nova-compute | |
| 18:55:06 | mriedem | s-dean: nova-compute shouldn't even need the [database] section filled in for nova.conf | |
| 18:55:20 | s-dean | ok awsome, yeah all the scheduler conductor novncproxy etc are on 1 controller node | |
| 18:55:30 | mriedem | then localhost or 127.0.0.1 is fine for those | |
| 18:55:43 | s-dean | looks like neutron needs access to the DB from across the network :/ | |
| 18:55:59 | s-dean | ill cross that brige when i come to it i guess | |
| 18:56:02 | mriedem | i'm not familar with everything they do | |
| 18:56:08 | jaypipes | edleafe: not sure that we need to return a list of alternates instead of just a list of allocation candidates, but wondering what dansmith thinks. | |
| 18:56:12 | mriedem | s/everything/most anything/ | |
| 18:56:25 | jaypipes | edleafe: the only reason to do so would be to keep the allocation candidates entirely opaque | |
| 18:58:43 | dansmith | jaypipes: we have to keep allocation candidates | |
| 18:58:55 | dansmith | jaypipes: the cell conductor can't know what else to claim otherwise.. a hostname/uuid isn't enough | |
| 18:59:15 | jaypipes | dansmith: no, I'm referring to whether we return a list of alternate hosts PLUS the allocation candidates OR just a list of allocation candidates. | |
| 18:59:51 | dansmith | jaypipes: ah okay | |
| 19:00:02 | mriedem | would the alternate hosts be used for anything? | |
| 19:00:22 | mriedem | does conductor use them to monkey with the request spec or scheduler hints? | |
| 19:00:41 | jaypipes | mriedem: nothing other than preventing the conductor from needing to know anything about the allocation_candidates. | |
| 19:01:06 | jaypipes | mriedem: the alternate_hosts would replace the retry block in the request spec essentially. | |
| 19:01:10 | dansmith | jaypipes: if that allows conductor to be ignorant of theallocation then yes, good plan | |
| 19:01:18 | jaypipes | dansmith: k.\ | |
| 19:01:49 | jaypipes | the decision comes down to how much opacity we want those allocation_request blocks to be. :) | |
| 19:02:03 | mriedem | where is the code being proposed that needs them together? | |
| 19:02:16 | jaypipes | mriedem: edleafe's currently working on the series. | |
| 19:03:42 | edleafe | jaypipes: the way I understood it is that we would return a series of alternate hosts in case the cell had to retry a build. Each of those hosts would need its corresponding allocation_candidate so that the cell conductor could do the proper claiming. | |
| 19:04:15 | dansmith | right | |
| 19:04:24 | dansmith | however, I was thinking that: | |
| 19:04:31 | jaypipes | edleafe: yes, that's exactly correct. I was only pointing out that technically the allocation_requests contain all the information in the alternate_hosts list. | |
| 19:04:48 | dansmith | conductor would throw the first allocation candidate at placement, and then parse the result to determine which compute host it should send the rpc message to | |
| 19:05:04 | jaypipes | edleafe: but like I said, that would require the cell conductor to understand what an allocation request was (i.e. the allocation_request would no longer be opaque) | |
| 19:05:05 | dansmith | that would mean no extra list, but also opaque allocation request | |
| 19:05:13 | dansmith | jaypipes: not if ^ | |
| 19:05:33 | jaypipes | right. :) | |
| 19:05:51 | mriedem | "conductor would throw the first allocation candidate at placement" - that's the cell conductor yes? | |
| 19:05:53 | edleafe | dansmith: "parse the result"? | |
| 19:05:55 | mriedem | during a retry | |
| 19:06:18 | dansmith | edleafe: parse the result of the POST of the allocation | |
| 19:06:37 | jaypipes | I think the most appropriate return value from select_destinations() would be a list of (host, allocation_request) tuples. | |
| 19:07:07 | jaypipes | for the first item in that list, the allocation_request would be the one that had already been successfully claimed for the selected host. | |
| 19:07:21 | jaypipes | dansmith: agree? | |
| 19:07:43 | mriedem | select_destinations today returns as the first entry the one that was chosen, right? | |
| 19:07:45 | dansmith | sure that's fine, if that's how you want it to look | |
