| 20:37:18 | fungi | anybody have any recent experience with using the vsphere virt driver? or know someone who might be able to reply to http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2020-March/013066.html | |
| 20:38:08 | fungi | the author of that post is privately random e-mailing osf staff now trying to find out who has experience with it | |
| 20:42:46 | melwitt | fungi: maybe try KeithMnemonic | |
| 20:42:57 | fungi | thanks melwitt! | |
| 20:43:56 | fungi | granted they started out e-mailing the contact address for the openstack website, until several of us suggested they reach out to the openstack-discuss ml | |
| 20:44:05 | fungi | so i'm not sure i'd wish this on anyone | |
| 20:44:33 | sean-k-mooney | fungi well we did spend like 30 mins disucssing should we deprecated teh driver eailer | |
| 20:44:50 | fungi | that sounds like legitimate details to me ;) | |
| 20:45:28 | sean-k-mooney | http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-nova/%23openstack-nova.2020-03-11.log.html#t2020-03-11T14:16:55 | |
| 20:46:03 | sean-k-mooney | fungi: the issue is the vmware ci has not been running/passing for months and we dont actully know if it still works | |
| 20:46:14 | melwitt | yeah, I could see deprecating it. we deprecated the xen driver last year I think | |
| 20:46:23 | sean-k-mooney | fungi: we think it does but there is no one active that works on it | |
| 20:47:09 | sean-k-mooney | looking at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/ThirdPartySystems/VMware_CI | |
| 20:47:58 | sean-k-mooney | Salvatore Orlando and Sihan Wang were the main contacts | |
| 20:48:23 | fungi | yeah, i haven't seen either of then in irc in ages | |
| 20:48:30 | sean-k-mooney | but i dont think salv-orlando has been active for like 2+ years | |
| 20:48:39 | fungi | right, that matches my recollection | |
| 20:48:54 | melwitt | I have seen gkotton relatively recently I feel like ... on gerrit | |
| 20:51:23 | melwitt | and like https://review.opendev.org/#/q/project:openstack/oslo.vmware that's the only hints I see that there are people working on it | |
| 20:58:24 | fungi | thanks, passing all that along | |
| 21:00:50 | dansmith | fungi: glad to know that foundation staff are getting hounded | |
| 21:01:15 | fungi | we're usually the first folks who get contacted by users who don't know where to find contact information | |
| 21:01:16 | mriedem | gary left vmware | |
| 21:01:17 | mriedem | awhile back | |
| 21:01:18 | mriedem | fyi | |
| 21:01:29 | dansmith | fungi: not because I'm glad you're feeling the pain, but glad that it forms some justification that vmware isn't around to support it being in upstream | |
| 21:01:48 | dansmith | fungi: after that email went 5 days with no response I posted the deprecation patch | |
| 21:01:49 | fungi | in theory this is what a user committee is for, but... | |
| 21:01:57 | dansmith | fungi: which lo and behold had people out of the woodwork | |
| 21:02:18 | fungi | nobody out of the woodwork enough to answer the e-mail though | |
| 21:02:28 | dansmith | right | |
| 21:02:40 | dansmith | just out of the woodwork to beg to keep it in tree for marketing reasons (my embellishment) | |
| 21:02:44 | fungi | i just feel bad about it in part because i suggested they contact openstack-discuss | |
| 21:03:27 | dansmith | in this case, that's the right thing to do, they're trying to get upstream nova to work with upstream devstack | |
| 21:03:37 | fungi | yep | |
| 21:03:40 | dansmith | we can't really help them though, because we have no idea if it's even supposed to work | |
| 21:03:48 | dansmith | CI hasn't voted in ages, and last it did, it reported error | |
| 21:03:54 | fungi | oh, i totally agree | |
| 21:03:59 | sean-k-mooney | i could reply and ask them to provide the n-cpu log because there initall email was just "devstack failed because n-cpu did not start" | |
| 21:04:17 | fungi | more just sad that there are users who have been effectively abandoned by the folks who were maintaining the driver | |
| 21:04:33 | sean-k-mooney | but honestly i know almost nothing baout vmware so unless its a really really dumb error i wont be able to help | |
| 21:05:00 | fungi | sean-k-mooney: right, it's entirely possible the issue they're running into isn't even vmware-specific, but mentioning vmware in any question is a quick way to turn off most people's brains | |
| 21:05:30 | dansmith | well, I think it's more likely that one of the many virt-related changes lately have caused that driver to not even be able to report resources properly | |
| 21:05:32 | mriedem | sean-k-mooney: i need you for some other hardware acceleration related wild goose chases actually | |
| 21:05:39 | sean-k-mooney | well i did look at the main but it was just teh error you get whenever the compute service is not started properly | |
| 21:06:34 | dansmith | IMHO, the overstretched nova team doesn't need to be spending any time trying to maintain (and help users) for a driver we can't even test | |
| 21:06:38 | sean-k-mooney | mriedem: haha if someone offeres you enginering samples of hardware and will pay you to look at it run | |
| 21:06:42 | dansmith | we should be communicating clearly that we expect it's broken | |
| 21:06:49 | sean-k-mooney | pre alpha hardware sucks | |
| 21:07:10 | dansmith | fungi: feel free to comment: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/712101/ | |
| 21:07:24 | dansmith | fungi: even if "even I was asked for help because clearly there's no resources for users" | |
| 21:08:01 | fungi | i'm trying to find nice ways to more or less say that in my reply to the private e-mail this user has sent me, without putting words in anyone's mouths and instead just linking to the currently available public resources | |
| 21:08:30 | sean-k-mooney | fungi: you could link to the irc logs of this conversation | |
| 21:08:32 | dansmith | fungi: link them to the patch saying "It looks like you shouldn't expect this to work, sorry, we're working on getting the messaging out... $link" | |
| 21:09:30 | fungi | dansmith: sean-k-mooney: yes, both of those things, thanks! | |
| 21:16:04 | fungi | though since xuel@vmware.com has volunteered in https://review.opendev.org/712101 to receive requests for assistance, i'll mention that in my reply | |
| 21:26:49 | melwitt | mriedem: ack, thanks didn't know that | |
| 21:28:20 | melwitt | hoo dang devstack worked the first time. yesss | |
| 21:29:23 | sean-k-mooney | melwitt: that normally works for me if i am using a clean vm and i have done an os update and rebooted first | |
| 21:29:36 | melwitt | *devstack with ceph plugin | |
| 21:29:42 | sean-k-mooney | ah | |
| 21:29:47 | melwitt | I had a hell of a time last time. this time all smooth | |
| 21:30:17 | melwitt | cause if it fails in the middle for any reason, restarting it didn't seem to work. just keeps tripping over itself | |
| 21:30:31 | melwitt | restarting meaning run ./stack.sh again | |
| 21:30:54 | sean-k-mooney | did you run clean.sh or unstack before runing stack again | |
| 21:31:05 | melwitt | I didn't | |
| 21:31:20 | sean-k-mooney | ya thats proably your issue | |
| 21:31:53 | melwitt | do those still work ok? that was why I hesitated, didn't want to make it worse. but, I ended up having to start all over from scratch anyway so I should have tried it | |
| 21:32:19 | sean-k-mooney | unstack works fine. clean more or less works fine but ocationally it misses files | |
| 21:32:31 | melwitt | ok, good to know | |
| 21:32:39 | sean-k-mooney | unstack is much safer to run | |
| 21:32:42 | sean-k-mooney | then clean | |
| 21:32:44 | dansmith | yeah I try to fix bugs in ./clean.sh when I find them | |
| 21:32:46 | dansmith | like in cyborg lately | |
| 21:33:41 | sean-k-mooney | if you just run stack twice you can get into weird race condition where agents are running but you recrate the db and things break | |
| 21:40:24 | sean-k-mooney | actully speaking of cyborg i should rebase my patch for there devstack plugin | |
| #openstack-nova - 2020-03-12 | |||
| 00:44:20 | brinzhang | gmann: I already granular os-instance-actions GET API, you can review https://review.opendev.org/#/c/711791/3 | |
| 01:29:18 | gmann | brinzhang: we need to add in same patch when adding the new defaults. | |
| 01:30:27 | gmann | like this -https://review.opendev.org/#/c/706672/7/nova/policies/attach_interfaces.py | |
| 01:31:09 | brinzhang | gmann: I was already separate, and the granular beased on this patch, does need I rollback? | |
| 01:32:50 | brinzhang | gmann: split it from the base patch, I think it's clear to me to know what happened | |
