17:47:24 bauzas well, I'm pretty sure ops size the DB write performance on the nova database
17:47:33 sean-k-mooney to remove the volumn attaments right?
17:47:54 sean-k-mooney and it should be calling neutron to unbind the neutron ports
17:48:06 sean-k-mooney so im wonderign wny cyborg is special in this case
17:48:26 bauzas actually, you're making a point
17:48:57 bauzas but that doesn't infirm my theory
17:49:16 bauzas which is that this periodic task can harm our dependent projects
17:49:31 sean-k-mooney well im not disagreeing that it could cause issue if you misconfigred things
17:49:37 sean-k-mooney yep
17:49:58 sean-k-mooney i think we just have differnet levels of concners as to the effect
17:50:10 bauzas anyway, I don't wanna hold this
17:50:34 bauzas but I was just taking my operator hat, being afraid of my internal APIs
17:50:51 sean-k-mooney moving the client out of the loop will at least stop the load on keystone
17:50:58 sean-k-mooney so that proably shoudl be done in anycase
17:51:05 bauzas and while I trust cinder and neutron in terms of sizing, I'd certainly take much attention to cyborg API if I know this
17:51:32 sean-k-mooney ya there is less op experince with cyborg for sure
17:51:51 bauzas anyway, this is nearly 7pm for me and I really worked late yesterday night, so I'll bail out
17:52:02 sean-k-mooney that said at least with osp donwstream we tend to use one db server for all the dbs
17:52:15 sean-k-mooney enjoy your evnening o/
17:52:47 bauzas like, hello keystone
17:53:17 bauzas bear with me
17:53:32 bauzas and give me a token that you'll store for a long period of time
17:53:56 bauzas glance ? be quiet and just give me the images
17:54:21 bauzas but meh, I'm diverging
17:54:22 bauzas \o
17:55:13 sean-k-mooney im sure cern use different dbs and rabbitmq instance for different services but many smaller clouds wont

09:20:17 bauzas lyarwood: morning
09:20:48 openstack Launchpad bug 1820007 in os-brick "Failed to attach encrypted volumes after detach: volume device not found at /dev/disk/by-id" [Undecided,Fix released] - Assigned to Lee Yarwood (lyarwood)
09:21:27 bauzas I'll recheck my change, but given the bug was fixed, I wonder whether it was related
09:33:14 lyarwood morning
09:34:58 gibi morning folks
09:35:13 gibi stephenfin: do we need https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/765798 for the hypervisor api bp?
09:36:02 stephenfin I think it's a nice-to-have rather than a necessity. gmann did say yesterday that he was going to take over that patch though,
09:37:00 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: nova-next: Start testing the 'q35' machine type https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/708701
09:37:20 lyarwood weird, just had `error: remote unpack failed: error Missing blob 08f698bbe36d414eca19d0760a5acc3a714c404e` errors trying to push that ^
09:37:34 lyarwood appears the git gc actually did something for a change and it's fixed after a git fetch -va
09:37:48 lyarwood bauzas: looking at that issue now sorry
09:38:11 bauzas lyarwood: no worries at all, rechecked meanwhile
09:38:20 bauzas just an open question
09:38:37 bauzas and I thought you could be interested in since you worked on the fix
09:41:17 lyarwood bauzas: yeah this is slightly different
09:41:19 lyarwood 43684 Mar 03 20:53:14.002343 ubuntu-focal-limestone-regionone-0023285105 nova-compute[53948]: ERROR oslo_messaging.rpc.server libvirt.libvirtError: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'blockdev-add': Could not open '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-360000000000000000e00000 000010001': Operation not permitted
09:41:30 lyarwood we find the device but can't attach it
09:42:39 lyarwood weird, we even encrypt it
09:42:58 lyarwood ah but through /dev/sda
09:43:03 lyarwood I hope that's the same device
09:43:28 gibi stephenfin: ack, then I will not push hard on that policy patch
09:46:27 bauzas lyarwood: that looks to me a race finding the device, right?
09:50:14 lyarwood bauzas: no we've found the device fine, /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-360000000000000000e00000000010001 is connected correctly and we even format/encrypt it with LUKSv1
09:50:29 lyarwood bauzas: QEMU just isn't happy with the passphrase we've provided AFAICT
09:50:34 bauzas ah
09:50:46 lyarwood bauzas: the only odd thing is that we format/encrypt /dev/sda
09:51:37 lyarwood https://github.com/openstack/os-brick/blame/bd629a3a4105f7f3f9f35b71350ea3c66f3690e9/os_brick/encryptors/cryptsetup.py#L80-L81 and https://github.com/openstack/os-brick/blob/bd629a3a4105f7f3f9f35b71350ea3c66f3690e9/os_brick/encryptors/luks.py#L97 cause that
09:51:47 lyarwood but I've never seen that be a problem before, it should be the same underlying block device
09:52:35 lyarwood unless theres some weirdness in the block layers and /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-360000000000000000e00000000010001 still doesn't look like it's encrypted by the time QEMU attempts to attach it
09:56:29 stephenfin gibi: lyarwood: bauzas: Finishing off the microversion to allow e.g. 'openstack server create --hostname $HOSTNAME ...'. Do we want to allow users to update the hostname?
09:56:56 bauzas stephenfin: spec ?
09:57:00 stephenfin I said in the spec that we would, but all that will change is what's stored on the metadata service unless someone re-runs e.g. cloud-init
09:57:03 stephenfin https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/wallaby/approved/configurable-instance-hostnames.html
09:57:24 stephenfin So I'm concerned it might be misleading
09:57:50 bauzas I missed that one or I'm old
09:58:04 stephenfin Well you are old...
09:58:13 stephenfin but I guess you just missed it :P
09:58:44 bauzas it's coming from the display name issue when users were dumb enough to think that ubuntu20.04 was a valid hostname ?
09:58:50 stephenfin yes
09:58:52 bauzas seriously
09:59:07 stephenfin well, sort of
09:59:26 stephenfin we said the idea of tying a display name and hostname together wasn't necessarily that clever
09:59:37 bauzas stephenfin: users can change their instance hostnames without asking nova, right?
09:59:59 bauzas it's just that nova metadata will give you one
10:00:03 bauzas but you can change it
10:00:19 stephenfin of course, but they'd have to disable cloud-init (or part thereof)
10:00:40 bauzas I'm pretty sure they don't need to do it
10:00:48 bauzas at least in 2013, this wasn't required
10:01:06 bauzas but now quantum, err neutron, does exist
10:02:56 bauzas but OK
10:03:26 bauzas stephenfin: let's assume the user wants to change their hostnames on the nova CLI, what's your concern ?
10:03:34 stephenfin I'm trying to find the relevant cloud-init docs. Best I've got is https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/21.1/topics/instancedata.html but that's EC2-specific
10:03:52 stephenfin My concern is that AFAICT cloud-init only runs once when setting up the instance
10:04:26 stephenfin so providing a way to change the hostname in the metadata service could be misleading, since one would need a service to propagate that change to the instance and I don't know if such a service exists
10:04:44 bauzas stephenfin: https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html#set-hostname
10:05:14 bauzas now I remember
10:05:30 bauzas man, I turned 40 but I forgot I reviewed this one
10:06:46 bauzas and now I see my vote on the change, I remember I approved it by fatigue
10:08:54 lyarwood bauzas: found it, there's another request to attach a volume that also ends up with that WWN somehow
10:09:14 bauzas lyarwood: hah
10:09:23 bauzas good catch, hence the conflict
10:10:09 bauzas stephenfin: so, IIRC, you can turn off the hostname management with cloud-init and set it thru any management tool like ansible or puppet
10:10:39 lyarwood yeah I'm not sure if this is an os-brick or cinder bug tbh
10:11:44 bauzas stephenfin: so, preserve_hostname be True in cloud.cfg and then you can play with /etc/hosts like you want
10:11:57 gibi stephenfin: on use case I can imagine for the changing of the hostname is that the instance is do managed by ansible, and the user changed the hostname with that and want to keep the nova view in sync with what is in the instance
10:12:19 bauzas gibi: yeah, honestly I feel bad with my review of the spec
