| 13:11:27 | kashyap | They maintain several "stable" branches | |
| 13:11:27 | sean-k-mooney | yep its just a strange one | |
| 13:11:39 | sean-k-mooney | very few work the way they do | |
| 13:11:50 | sean-k-mooney | anyway this is simple tweek | |
| 13:12:03 | sean-k-mooney | since it packaged in the uca | |
| 13:12:26 | kashyap | I never claimed it's all perfect :) | |
| 13:12:53 | sean-k-mooney | if it means i dont have to keep rechecking stuff then thats good enough | |
| 13:13:11 | lyarwood | sorry just back from lunch | |
| 13:13:33 | sean-k-mooney | lyarwood: im assuming the zuulv3 patch will take a while to merge | |
| 13:13:45 | lyarwood | hmm that's a good point about the UCA, why isn't the grenade bionic job using it? | |
| 13:13:49 | sean-k-mooney | lyarwood:so im just going to swap to victoria uca which has 6.0.0 | |
| 13:13:56 | sean-k-mooney | it is but train | |
| 13:13:57 | lyarwood | ah | |
| 13:14:02 | lyarwood | right kk | |
| 13:14:14 | sean-k-mooney | we when with train when we tought the other qemu detach thing was a focal issue | |
| 13:14:17 | lyarwood | and yeah either way the multinode grenade change isn't simple | |
| 13:14:21 | sean-k-mooney | that gives us 5.2.0 | |
| 13:14:33 | sean-k-mooney | on tain i think | |
| 13:14:34 | lyarwood | even calling the old scripts is borked as it assumes we are using devstack-gate etc | |
| 13:14:51 | lyarwood | sean-k-mooney: ack | |
| 13:16:25 | lyarwood | http://ubuntu-cloud.archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic-updates/ I don't see Victoria listed here however | |
| 13:18:12 | kashyap | stephenfin: Really nice rework here - https://review.opendev.org/#/c/756551/ | |
| 13:18:26 | kashyap | (Also the commit message :)) | |
| 13:19:19 | sean-k-mooney | i kind fo feel like using tabels in a commit is cheating but ya it explains things well | |
| 13:30:59 | kashyap | sean-k-mooney: Hehe; what else would you use? | |
| 13:31:37 | kashyap | In my books, it's perfectly fair game to see tables in a commit message :) | |
| 13:42:44 | stephenfin | gibi: Have you seen the comment on https://review.opendev.org/#/c/738482/ ? | |
| 13:46:12 | openstack | Launchpad bug 1903655 in tripleo "Compute component jobs in master branch are failing with ERROR nova nova.exception.DBNotAllowed: nova-compute attempted direct database access which is not allowed by policy" [Critical,Triaged] | |
| 13:46:12 | stephenfin | gibi: There's a bug report filed for it here https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1903655 | |
| 13:50:53 | gibi | stephenfin: thanks for the notification, I haven't seen it | |
| 13:50:57 | gibi | yet | |
| 13:58:29 | gibi | I have to be on a call, but after It I will look into it | |
| 14:11:48 | openstackgerrit | Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova-specs master: WIP - Image and flavor defined ephemeral storage encryption https://review.opendev.org/752284 | |
| 14:13:15 | lyarwood | ^ reviews welcome on that spec now btw, still WIP but hopefully ready for serious reviews. I'll have PoC code updated this week once I've written the func tests. | |
| 14:56:44 | sean-k-mooney | that does a lot | |
| 14:57:10 | sean-k-mooney | im guessing the duplicaiton is a result of that but havent looke at the test for it in a long time | |
| 15:16:32 | gibi | stephenfin dansmith: I've looked into https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1903655 and it seems that tripleoo configures [api_database]/connection for the nova-compute service and that causes that the service version check assumes that we are in a top level controller service which can access the api database https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/utils.py#L1064-L1072 | |
| 15:16:33 | openstack | Launchpad bug 1903655 in tripleo "Compute component jobs in master branch are failing with ERROR nova nova.exception.DBNotAllowed: nova-compute attempted direct database access which is not allowed by policy" [Critical,Triaged] | |
| 15:17:08 | dansmith | gibi: yeah I saw your analysis and I'm sure you're right | |
| 15:17:27 | gibi | is ther a smarter way to decided if we are inside a cell? | |
| 15:17:28 | dansmith | we have other such checks I think, so this is probably just the first time they've hit something fatal to even notice | |
| 15:17:37 | dansmith | no, I think this is a good thing | |
| 15:17:59 | dansmith | although, hmm | |
| 15:18:14 | dansmith | er, yeah, this is just compute that's failing | |
| 15:18:25 | dansmith | so yeah, I think this is good | |
| 15:18:34 | gibi | same could happen with a cell controller as well | |
| 15:18:38 | gibi | I mean a cell conductor | |
| 15:18:48 | dansmith | yep, but that's fine | |
| 15:19:29 | dansmith | a cell conductor shouldn't be, but can be configured with api_connection (for the last few reasons why you might need it), but it'll just survey the whole cluster instead of the cell, but that should be fine | |
| 15:20:08 | gibi | I see, the remaining upcalls | |
| 15:20:13 | dansmith | right | |
| 15:22:30 | stephenfin | gibi: That sounds reasonable. What's the remedy though? I assume we can't simply say "don't do this", at least not without a deprecation window? | |
| 15:22:32 | gibi | OK then now I feel better about asking tripleoo folks to check and fix there nova-cpu.conf | |
| 15:23:13 | gibi | stephenfin: if this is an invalid config then nova-compute is allowed to fail on it | |
| 15:23:15 | dansmith | gibi: definitely. we don't deploy it that way in devstack, and I'm pretty sure we've had and fixed this issue downstream | |
| 15:23:25 | dansmith | I'm surprised the upstream tripleo is still doing it | |
| 15:23:38 | stephenfin | Okay, can we add a check to nova-compute startup to hard fail on that config being present? | |
| 15:23:42 | stephenfin | So the error is more obvious? | |
| 15:23:47 | dansmith | sure | |
| 15:24:05 | gibi | stephenfin: that is a good point, but I think the current service level check runs first and fail first | |
| 15:24:23 | gibi | stephenfin: so I cannot add this to the _inithost | |
| 15:24:29 | gibi | or I can but it is pointless | |
| 15:24:44 | gibi | buuut I might be able add someting to the cmd | |
| 15:25:27 | dansmith | so, we have another such check in rpcapi, and a catch for them doing it wrongly, with a warning to explain | |
| 15:26:02 | dansmith | https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/compute/rpcapi.py#L439-L457 | |
| 15:26:25 | dansmith | so, I'm guessing they've also not configured upgrade_levels=auto, | |
| 15:26:29 | dansmith | else they would be exploding there too | |
| 15:26:52 | gibi | could be, my tripleoo knowledge is close to 0 | |
| 15:27:18 | sean-k-mooney | i think we have a down stream bug for this | |
| 15:27:23 | dansmith | point being, this is not a new behavior or requirement | |
| 15:27:28 | sean-k-mooney | owalsh was fixing it | |
| 15:27:42 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: I thought he did a while ago, which is why I'm surprised we're still seeing it | |
| 15:27:51 | sean-k-mooney | we hilighted that there nova.conf was wrong | |
| 15:27:56 | gibi | dansmith: thanks for the pointer I will add that to my comment in the bugreport asking tripleoo to fix the conf | |
| 15:27:57 | sean-k-mooney | im not sure if it has merged | |
| 15:28:02 | dansmith | gibi: ++ | |
| 15:28:15 | sean-k-mooney | he was rewriting the config gen to not put the db creds in the compute nodes | |
| 15:28:37 | sean-k-mooney | we merged a hack to make 16.0 work but i dont know if the real fix is merged | |
| 15:28:39 | sean-k-mooney | ill check | |
| 15:29:13 | sean-k-mooney | https://review.opendev.org/#/c/718552/ | |
| 15:29:14 | dansmith | gibi: we have another check for api.connection in conductor, which is how it knows if it's a cell or global conductor. doesn't affect compute, but just FYI for prior art | |
| 15:29:21 | sean-k-mooney | that is the ooo fix | |
| 15:29:27 | sean-k-mooney | its not merged yet | |
| 15:29:40 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: ah yeah, from april.. hence my assuming it was done | |
| 15:29:47 | sean-k-mooney | dansmith: they used to config auto | |
| 15:29:47 | dansmith | 2020 has been a bit of a time warp | |
| 15:29:53 | sean-k-mooney | the hack was to not | |
| 15:29:56 | owalsh | hey... | |
| 15:30:02 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: ah, heh | |
| 15:30:03 | sean-k-mooney | owalsh: o/ | |
| 15:30:23 | openstack | Launchpad bug 1871482 in tripleo "nova-compute must not configure api database" [High,In progress] - Assigned to Oliver Walsh (owalsh) | |
| 15:30:23 | sean-k-mooney | this is the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/tripleo/+bug/1871482 | |
| 15:30:46 | sean-k-mooney | this was the hack https://review.opendev.org/#/c/737287/ | |
| 15:30:50 | sean-k-mooney | which is train only | |
| 15:30:58 | sean-k-mooney | not on master | |
| 15:31:07 | sean-k-mooney | that is why tehy are hitting this now | |
| 15:31:15 | sean-k-mooney | victoria and train dont have it | |
| 15:31:35 | sean-k-mooney | *victoria and master | |
| 15:31:37 | owalsh | ok, they need to stop doing that. RPC version pinning is pointless with FFU | |
| 15:32:12 | dansmith | owalsh: note that this new failure is unrelated to pinning, | |
