#openstack-nova - 2018-10-10
18:51:39 dansmith mriedem: yep will look in a sec
18:51:46 dansmith mriedem: was going to ask you this morning if you had fixed that yet :D
18:54:04 dansmith omg it works!
19:03:42 openstackgerrit Artom Lifshitz proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Handle volume API failure in post_live_migration https://review.openstack.org/609517
19:08:10 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Fix NoneType error in _notify_volume_usage_detach https://review.openstack.org/609518
19:13:36 mriedem dansmith: i needed something to do besides review code and/or specs
19:25:33 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova-specs master: Update blueprint name so spec matches launchpad https://review.openstack.org/607347
19:27:59 imacdonn dansmith: I implemented what I understood from our discussion yesterday at https://review.openstack.org/608091 . It needs a little polish, but sean-k-mooney wants to use new the exit status if there are any exceptions, whether or not any migrations may still be pending. I don't think we can do that, because it can't be automated
19:41:09 mriedem hey gang, two easy +Ws https://review.openstack.org/#/c/608802/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/609467/
19:48:19 melwitt dansmith, mriedem: I linked my nova-consoleauth patch on L52 here that is ready for subteam review https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/stein-nova-subteam-tracking
19:50:07 artom I thought we had functional live migration tests?
19:50:49 artom Ah, nova/tests/functional/test_servers.py
19:50:53 artom Ignore me
19:51:26 dansmith imacdonn: I don't understand sean's concern or desire
19:53:57 imacdonn dansmith: thanks for commenting. One thing is still a bit fuzzy .. what does "work was done" mean? The way "ran" is currently implemented, it only counts how many rows were migrated *in the last batch*, so of you use the default of 50 at a time, ran will always end up as 0
19:55:19 imacdonn ... because that's the only way it can break out of the loop
19:55:26 dansmith imacdonn: ran is the sum of all the "done" values from any migration it4eration right?
19:55:43 dansmith ran becoming nonzero is how you break out
19:55:45 imacdonn dansmith: no, only the last iteration
19:56:23 imacdonn dansmith: it gets reset to 0 at https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/cmd/manage.py#L718
19:56:38 dansmith imacdonn: oh I see, but that's a bug I guess
19:56:47 dansmith from when this went from a fixed number to having an --until-done
19:56:49 dansmith or whatever
19:57:02 dansmith or the opposite, but you know what I mean
19:57:10 sean-k-mooney dansmith: we break out 1 of 2 way. ran becomes 0 or we pass --max-count in which case we do not loop as unlimited is false
19:57:11 dansmith so yeah you have to fix that for this to work
19:57:31 imacdonn dansmith: that's what I need to get nailed down ... I tried to fix that, in PS2, but made grenade blow up, becaused grenade needs the command to exit with status 0
19:58:01 dansmith imacdonn: well, if this is wrong it's possible grenade is wrong
19:58:19 jaypipes mriedem: yesterday, which scheduler filter did you say already looked at instance metadata by querying the BuildRequest?
19:58:41 mriedem jaypipes: the one you're writing
19:58:42 dansmith oh wait,
19:58:45 dansmith maybe I'm remembering this now
19:58:54 imacdonn dansmith: it's possible, yes ... although it seems like if you run the command without --max-count, an outcome of exit status 0 (generally interpreted as success), is what would be expected
19:59:05 dansmith right
19:59:05 dansmith in the unlimited case, you really need the exit code to be zero
19:59:30 dansmith oof, this should be commented in here for sure
19:59:58 imacdonn so that's how I came up with the term "migrations may still be pending" .... when ran is not zero, which can only happen if you use --max-count
19:59:58 dansmith imacdonn: so maybe just keep the full count separate from ran and use that for the gate on exit 2
20:00:08 sean-k-mooney dansmith: yes if you dont pass --max-count the exit 0 should mean all migration ran sucessfuly
20:00:14 dansmith imacdonn: like I say, you don't know what is pending or not really
20:00:26 imacdonn dansmith: that's why I used "may" :)
20:00:32 dansmith imacdonn: don't.
20:00:36 sean-k-mooney actully if you do pass --max-could exit 0 should still mean the same thing
20:00:44 dansmith imacdonn: so if you keep total_ran and use that then you're good right?
20:01:01 dansmith sean-k-mooney: no it shouldn't
20:01:16 dansmith sean-k-mooney: because you ran --max-count=50 and you get zero, you expect you're done
20:01:31 dansmith sean-k-mooney: if you don't pass --max-count, zero means all of them were completed, no errors so you're done
20:01:32 sean-k-mooney if there are 50 migrations and i pass --max-count=100 it should return 0 if all 50 ran successfully
20:01:39 dansmith sean-k-mooney: no it shouldn't
20:01:49 dansmith sean-k-mooney: read the man page
20:01:50 imacdonn dansmith: are you saying exit 2 if exceptions and total_ran>0, and exit 1 if ran (not total_ran) > 0 ?
20:02:20 sean-k-mooney so if max is greater then total you dont want the same behavior as if there was no max
20:02:27 dansmith imacdonn: I'm saying leave the 0 and 1 the way they are, and exit 2 if total_ran=0 and exceptions
20:02:36 dansmith sean-k-mooney: it's about definition of done-ness
20:02:58 imacdonn dansmith: that's what I had in PS2, and it broke grenade, because it exits with 1 if any migrations were done
20:03:21 imacdonn dansmith: or maybe I didn't interpret your last statement right
20:03:22 dansmith imacdonn: I'm not talking about changing the definition of 1
20:03:22 sean-k-mooney yes which is why im saying if i set a max larger then the amount to do and they all ran sucsessfully im done hence 0
20:03:24 dansmith imacdonn: right
20:03:40 dansmith imacdonn: if you don't change the logic for 1 then grenade can't break, unless we're actually hiding exceptions
20:05:02 imacdonn dansmith: OK, I think that might work ... I'll have to try it ... sean-k-mooney, do you still have concerns ?
20:05:06 sean-k-mooney dansmith: we used to hide exceptions but my understand of 1 is there are still more migration to run i would prefer it to be "there are more migration to run and all the ones i just ran did not have error"
20:05:19 dansmith sean-k-mooney: that's not what 1 means
20:05:27 dansmith we can't really know if there are more unless we try and hit zero
20:05:36 dansmith without doing more database stuff to count separately from doing
20:05:41 dansmith which is not worth it, IMHO
20:06:04 dansmith so, while (rc==1) { doit }
20:06:22 imacdonn personally, I kinda wish there was a way to find out how many migrations are needed, before attempting any
20:06:33 imacdonn I might want to do this when planning an upgrade
20:06:58 sean-k-mooney ok so 1 just used to mean there was a partial update so we need to loop that i think makes sense
20:07:05 sean-k-mooney and 0 means we are done
20:07:13 dansmith sean-k-mooney: no, 1 means we did things, that's ALL it means :)
20:07:15 sean-k-mooney dansmith: what is the smantics of 2 in your case
20:07:16 dansmith might be partial, might be full
20:07:18 mriedem sorrison: if you wanted to policy something, i'd think having policy on the ability to create multiple servers in a single request would be a good one so you can avoid tenants killing your scheduler with large burst multi-create requests
20:07:25 mriedem especially if those users have higher than normal quota
20:07:40 dansmith sean-k-mooney: hopefully this can be the last time I say this, but 2 means we couldn't make any more progress, and exceptions were raised
20:07:41 mriedem we probably had a policy on the multi-create API extension at some point
20:08:08 mriedem make it 2.5....
20:08:09 mriedem and i'm sold
20:08:14 dansmith sean-k-mooney: so you can distinguish between "can't make any more progress" and "can't make any more progress, but things seem unhappy"
20:08:19 sean-k-mooney dansmith: ok but we dont stop trying migration on the first exception
20:08:32 dansmith sean-k-mooney: exactly
20:09:18 sean-k-mooney my piont it 2 would only ever be retruned if all the migrations in the first iteration failed
20:09:25 dansmith no
20:09:39 mriedem sorrison: maybe that's just never been a problem b/c of quota restrictions, the multi-create thing i mean
20:10:05 dansmith sean-k-mooney: did you mean the last iteration? my answer is still no, but...
20:10:29 dansmith sean-k-mooney: with the suggestion I just made to imacdonn, we keep a total_run count and use that for 2 instead of ran, which is just "the last iteration"
20:10:29 imacdonn no, 2 gets returned if the only remaining possible migrations barfed for some reason
20:10:38 dansmith imacdonn: right
20:10:38 openstack Launchpad bug 1795982 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "/os-console-auth-tokens/{console_token} API doesn't handle the database backend" [High,In progress] - Assigned to melanie witt (melwitt)
20:10:38 mriedem melwitt: isn't this more than just the db backend for console auth? https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1795982 - it's been regressed since multi-cell support in pike
20:10:56 dansmith imacdonn: maybe just tweak and push that up and we can argue about it after there's something to see?
20:11:12 imacdonn dansmith: roger. will do after lunch
20:11:12 dansmith I'm getting kinda frustrated with this overly minute detail and really want to get on to other stuff before I end my day
20:11:16 dansmith imacdonn: thanks
20:11:30 melwitt mriedem: I don't think so because nova-consoleauth is global, you don't need to know anything about cells to query it
20:11:34 sean-k-mooney dansmith: yes i was referring to "total_run==0 and exceptions" for retrun 2
20:12:10 efried dansmith, imacdonn: I don't intend to get super involved in this, but have we considered allowing behavior change(s) (e.g. where exceptions cause failure) based on an env var or CLI switch? (Sorry, this thought has been bouncing around in my head for a week, had to get it out.)
20:12:10 melwitt mriedem: that is, it's storage of console token auths is global across all cells
