| 21:33:28 | legochen | can we still provide that option in new OSC? | |
| 21:52:47 | legochen | if someone familiar with “Launch an instance from a volume”, please ping me directly… thanks :) | |
| 21:53:06 | legochen | per the doc - https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/launch-instance-from-volume.html | |
| 21:54:01 | legochen | after some tests, I feel the behavior of “Boot an instance from an image and attach a non-bootable volume.” is most efficient way to do this? | |
| 21:54:27 | legochen | the behavior of “Create a volume from an image and boot an instance from that volume.” and “Boot from an existing source image, volume, or snapshot.” seems are similar. | |
| 21:55:49 | legochen | On the host that running cinder service will need to | |
| 21:55:55 | legochen | 1. download image to image_conversion_dir | |
| 21:56:15 | legochen | 2. create block volume and attach that host | |
| 21:56:43 | legochen | 3. create a bootable volume by that download image. | |
| 21:56:58 | legochen | 4. attach volume to host and boot. | |
| 21:59:26 | legochen | but, the behavior of “Boot an instance from an image and attach a non-bootable volume.” seems the same as create VM on hypervisor and use hypervisor local store. | |
| 21:59:49 | legochen | the image download process will happen on the hypervisor instead of the host that running cinder service. | |

| 12:12:30 | stephenfin | lyarwood: I saw that before. I think a second attempt to commit fixed the issue | |
| 12:12:38 | stephenfin | otherwise just pass the -n flag temporarily | |
| 12:13:19 | lyarwood | huh | |
| 12:13:26 | lyarwood | TIL about the -n flag | |
| 12:13:29 | lyarwood | thanks | |
| 12:30:33 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: thanks for the reminder. no not on master. there is one patch i want to be backported to train but ill ping lyarwood for that seperatly | |
| 12:30:47 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: thanks for the confirmation | |
| 12:31:40 | sean-k-mooney | lyarwood: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-vif/+/765970 is the patch i was refering too above | |
| 12:32:22 | sean-k-mooney | lyarwood: we will need it downstream for 16.2 because the linux kernel patch was added in 8.4 | |
| 12:34:26 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: ill try and figure out a unit test for https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/777679 when i get time | |
| 12:35:06 | sean-k-mooney | raising the excption via a mock and adding the assertions is not hard but its in an inner funciton so its a littele more work then normal to test. | |

| 13:00:34 | legochen | hey sean-k-mooney, do you know anyone familiar with "Launch an instance from a volume” practcie… some questions posted above… would like to discuss | |
| 13:02:48 | sean-k-mooney | hi i have not read them back but i can take a look in a second | |
| 13:03:23 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: ack | |
| 13:03:48 | legochen | thank you | |
| 13:04:56 | sean-k-mooney | ok so your asking about osc and block device mappings | |
| 13:05:16 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: has a patch up to rework how osc supports this currently | |
| 13:06:08 | sean-k-mooney | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-openstackclient/+/771696 | |
| 13:07:55 | sean-k-mooney | so there are several ways to create a vm as im sure your aware | |
| 13:08:18 | sean-k-mooney | you can create a vm with local root disk and have seperate data volumes | |
| 13:08:45 | sean-k-mooney | or you can replace the root disk with a cinder volume instaed of having it stored locally on the compute node. | |
| 13:09:02 | sean-k-mooney | the later can be done several ways and is what we refer to as boot form volume | |
| 13:09:40 | sean-k-mooney | nova support eighter using a prexisting bootable volume, or a new volumn created by nova form either an image of volume snapshot | |
| 13:10:31 | sean-k-mooney | the efficncy fo each depend on 1 how you judge efficncy and 2 whatn nova, glance and cinder backends you have configured | |
| 13:11:00 | sean-k-mooney | for example if you are using ceph for cinder nova and glance then boot form volume and non boot form volume are basically the same | |
| 13:11:29 | sean-k-mooney | in all cases teh root disk will just be a thin snapshot over the orignial image | |
| 13:12:21 | sean-k-mooney | similarly you use cider as the glance backend and your cinder driver support it then bfv volumes created from images can simialrly be a thin provisioned volumn | |
| 13:13:49 | sean-k-mooney | the presence of addtional data volumne in any configuration is largely irrelvent to effincincy or perfroamce since in bfv or non bfv cases you should keep all data you care about in a cinder data volumn anyway so you can tree the root disk as ephemeral | |
| 13:14:19 | sean-k-mooney | legochen: not sure if that help but if you have a specific question i can try and answer that | |
| 13:15:25 | sean-k-mooney | im not really sure how you are gaugeing effiency (storage space? perfroamce(troughtput,latency,boot time)? network bandwith utilisation?) or what your usecase is | |
| 13:18:16 | legochen | hey sean-k-mooney, sorry just back. I think my major questions are about OSC stuff. | |
| 13:18:41 | legochen | 1) let “—boot-from-volume <volume-size>” option can specify volume-type | |
| 13:19:04 | legochen | 2) support —block-device option as what ocata version has. | |
| 13:20:24 | sean-k-mooney | 2 is done in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/python-openstackclient/+/771699/3/openstackclient/compute/v2/server.py | |
| 13:20:26 | legochen | otherwise, the current OSC doesn’t have the ability to use an available & existing block-storage volume as root partition to boot an instance. | |
| 13:20:30 | sean-k-mooney | still unmerged | |
| 13:21:16 | legochen | okay, understood, do we have timeline to merge it :D | |
| 13:21:26 | sean-k-mooney | we are deprecating --block-device-mapping in fravor of --block-device | |
| 13:21:31 | sean-k-mooney | am not sure | |
| 13:22:00 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: ^ any idea when you expect the osc bfv change to merge | |
| 13:22:09 | sean-k-mooney | will it happen this cycle | |
| 13:22:25 | legochen | do you mean you recommend --block-device instead of “ --block-device-mapping” ? | |
| 13:23:01 | sean-k-mooney | legochen: osc does not curently have --block-device but we are adding it and it will replace teh use fo teh existing --block-device-mapping command in osc | |
| 13:23:20 | lyarwood | sean-k-mooney: ack sorry was out at lunch | |
| 13:23:40 | legochen | okay, thanks. clear now. | |
| 13:24:07 | legochen | about 1) … I feel if it cannot specify “volume-type”, it will be not that useful. | |
| 13:24:14 | sean-k-mooney | legochen: the imporant point form your point of view will be the abllit to set volume_type | |
| 13:24:40 | sean-k-mooney | legochen: that could be added | |
| 13:25:40 | sean-k-mooney | well looking at it its proably not possible actuly | |
| 13:26:00 | sean-k-mooney | currently --boot-from-volume is defiend as an int | |
| 13:26:11 | sean-k-mooney | we could proably add a --volumn-type however | |
| 13:26:20 | sean-k-mooney | so you would use both | |
| 13:27:18 | sean-k-mooney | so somthign like --boot-from-volume 100G --image <my-image> --volume-type=<my-volume-type> | |
