10:42:42 johnthetubaguy correct, only centos7.0
10:43:00 kashyap Ah, it's the exact string match
10:43:59 johnthetubaguy yeah, although we get the "correct" match in the end, thats OK
10:44:05 johnthetubaguy just when it matches it all seems to fail
10:44:26 kashyap Right
10:44:58 kashyap johnthetubaguy: I'll check and report back on the bug
10:46:04 johnthetubaguy kashyap: thanks, I suspect we are meant to just put "virtio" in there? I am not sure though
10:47:21 kashyap johnthetubaguy: So ... was talking to DanPB on #virt, he does indeed say it's a Nova bug:
10:47:48 johnthetubaguy kashyap: I saw this patch: https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/commit/617b92710f50015c5df5f9db15d25de18867957d
10:47:53 johnthetubaguy I guess we could do the same
10:48:00 kashyap 12:45 < danpb1> kashyap: and that method has an incomplete list of hardware models
10:48:00 kashyap 12:45 < danpb1> kashyap: nova is checking is_vif_model_valid_for_virt()
10:48:02 johnthetubaguy I don't mind patching that, if I know what we should do :)
10:48:07 kashyap ^ See above
10:48:11 johnthetubaguy ah...
10:49:48 johnthetubaguy kashyap: do you know where the full list lives? unsure if libvirt does this check
10:51:51 kashyap johnthetubaguy: /me is unsure, too; will check post lunch and get back
10:52:05 johnthetubaguy kashyap: sweet, thank you
11:04:23 openstackgerrit Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova stable/rocky: Stabilize unshelve notification sample tests https://review.opendev.org/669118
11:14:24 kashyap johnthetubaguy: Still here?
11:14:27 johnthetubaguy yeah
11:15:35 kashyap johnthetubaguy: So Dan tells me there are two issues here.
11:16:28 kashyap 1. Nova's validation of n/w models is incomplete
11:16:51 kashyap 2. The "model names returned by libosinfo are *NOT* required to be valid libvirt network model names".
11:17:21 kashyap On point 2, there is no such "virtio-1.0-net" model name in libvirt, if we see here: https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob;f=src/conf/domain_conf.c#l515
11:17:29 johnthetubaguy yeah, it was (2) I was suspecting, given this: https://github.com/virt-manager/virt-manager/commit/617b92710f50015c5df5f9db15d25de18867957d
11:17:42 kashyap Apparently libosinfo is just telling us that the guest supports 'virio-1.0-net'
11:18:04 kashyap And there are two ways to provide that: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsVirtioTransitional
11:18:18 kashyap The "virtio-transitional" vs. "virtio-non-transitional" devices.
11:19:01 kashyap Where "virtio-transitional" provides a device that will auto-negotiate virtio 1.0 support; while "virtio-non-transitional" provoides a device that is fixed to always use virtio 1.0 support.
11:19:38 johnthetubaguy and "virtio" what does that do?
11:20:35 johnthetubaguy thinking ln520 in libvirt... I am wondering what we should do here
11:20:55 johnthetubaguy seems like (1) doesn't matter, the issue is our os-info logic seems totally bogus
11:21:03 kashyap johnthetubaguy: On 'virtio':
11:21:04 kashyap virtio
11:21:05 kashyap This device will work like a virtio-non-transitional device when plugged into a PCI Express slot, and like a virtio-transitional device otherwise; libvirt will pick one or the other based on the machine type. This is the best choice when compatibility with libvirt versions older than 5.2.0 is necessary, but it's otherwise not recommended to use it.
11:21:10 kashyap ---
11:21:29 johnthetubaguy ah, that's libvirt docs somewhere?
11:22:07 kashyap Yeah, I'm quoting from here: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsVirtioTransitional
11:22:15 kashyap (The link I posted earlier)
11:22:28 johnthetubaguy ah, cool, I only got this far: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsNICSModel
11:22:46 johnthetubaguy ah... so this text makes sense now
11:25:17 johnthetubaguy kashyap: maybe a better question... what is the optimum settings for all Cento7.0 devices, and how does os-info help me do the right thing
11:25:29 kashyap I think the optimium should be 'virtio', isn't it?
11:25:41 kashyap Given that it behaves correctly with versions older than 5.2.0?
11:27:23 johnthetubaguy just wondering if we set the machine type "correctly"
11:27:59 kashyap johnthetubaguy: Nova doesn't pick a machine type automatically for x86 (but it does for AArch64 and s390x)
11:28:10 openstack Launchpad bug 1780138 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Don't assume the guest machine type to be of 'pc'" [Medium,Confirmed] - Assigned to Kashyap Chamarthy (kashyapc)
11:28:10 kashyap johnthetubaguy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1780138
11:31:11 johnthetubaguy just seems like we need to ignore libosinfo for now, and just default everything to virtio
11:31:27 kashyap Right
11:32:08 johnthetubaguy hmm, OK

13:45:21 sean-k-mooney we have not choosen one yet
13:46:10 sean-k-mooney ya i have not seen much since then. we should call it unicorn
13:46:11 gibi I currently use Unicorn as a workname
13:46:17 gibi jinx
13:46:26 sean-k-mooney haha ya me too
13:46:48 sean-k-mooney it will totally have all my special feature i have wanted for years in it

14:01:19 sean-k-mooney and by 20 i appernetly ment 43
14:01:32 cdent stephenfin: merge all the things. also thanks for abandoning that health check thing
14:01:58 cdent gibi, sean-k-mooney : unfinished
14:04:02 gibi cdent: not a bad idea :)
14:05:02 jangutter I thought the "U" release would be "Unnamed".
