11:34:16 sean-k-mooney although you nomally dont move host between cells. you can but its not common and it proably adviasble ot not have vms on it if you do

11:34:40 sean-k-mooney noonedeadpunk: ya its pretty cheap

11:34:54 sean-k-mooney noonedeadpunk: ooo i think just always runs it

11:35:11 sean-k-mooney noonedeadpunk: we even have the option to do it as a perodic task if you really want too

11:35:30 noonedeadpunk Yeah, I know. It's just smth like 20mins or so iirc

12:07:15 lyarwood gibi: re https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/770246 I forgot to note that I wanted to land https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/785682 first if possible, I think it's valid to also cover that corner case in the event based flow as well.

12:24:52 gibi lyarwood: looking

12:27:38 lyarwood gibi: ack thanks, I'll go over the rest of the series later in more detail but clicking through it LGTM at the moment

12:27:59 gibi cool, I will +A your fix soon

13:12:28 mnaser bauzas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1900800 have you thought about how this can be resolved? We are running into this often :(

13:12:32 openstack Launchpad bug 1900800 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "VGPUs is not recreated on host reboot" [Low,Confirmed] - Assigned to Sylvain Bauza (sylvain-bauza)
13:41:18 bauzas mnaser: sorry I was on a meeting
13:41:18 bauzas mnaser: sorry I was on a meeting
13:41:52 bauzas mnaser: well, maybe we would need to ask the operator to create the mdevs after rebooting

13:49:12 openstackgerrit Qiu Fossen proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Allow migrating PMEM's data https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/785563
13:51:32 sean-k-mooney bauzas: the mdevs should be create in init_host today
13:51:32 sean-k-mooney bauzas: the mdevs should be create in init_host today
13:51:57 sean-k-mooney oh
13:51:57 sean-k-mooney oh
13:52:10 bauzas sean-k-mooney: the problem is that we don't know which mdev type they usze
13:52:10 bauzas sean-k-mooney: the problem is that we don't know which mdev type they usze
13:52:49 sean-k-mooney well we should no?
13:52:49 sean-k-mooney well we should no?
13:53:05 sean-k-mooney the mdevs should still be in the domins
13:53:05 sean-k-mooney the mdevs should still be in the domins
13:53:12 sean-k-mooney this should be running before we start the vms

13:53:22 sean-k-mooney oh the type is not recorded
13:53:22 sean-k-mooney oh the type is not recorded
13:53:33 sean-k-mooney so if you have multiple devices that would be an issue
13:53:33 sean-k-mooney so if you have multiple devices that would be an issue
13:54:02 sean-k-mooney although we would be abel to look at the vgpu request in the flavor if you had a traits request

13:54:12 sean-k-mooney or better yet the allocation summeries
13:54:12 sean-k-mooney or better yet the allocation summeries
13:55:29 sean-k-mooney we can look up the RP form which the allocation came from and then identify the partent device and use that to look up the mdev type in the config

13:55:42 sean-k-mooney bauzas: that should work right ^

13:55:50 bauzas sean-k-mooney: the problem is that the traits are optional

13:55:58 sean-k-mooney we dont need the traits

13:56:20 sean-k-mooney use allcotion to figure out partent device use parent device to look up mdev type in nova.conf

13:56:23 sean-k-mooney then recreate it

13:57:33 bauzas here, we would then need to call placement

13:57:40 sean-k-mooney yes
13:57:54 sean-k-mooney unless we have the allocation summeries saved somewhere

13:58:11 sean-k-mooney i.e. in the nova db but we dont as far as i know

13:58:12 bauzas ok, but then we would see VGPU allocations

13:58:52 bauzas so then we would need to look at the conf option to know which type it uses

13:58:59 sean-k-mooney yep
13:59:03 bauzas that *could* work

13:59:23 bauzas but that's a long change I think

14:00:19 sean-k-mooney i think its what is required though unless we start storing the infor in the nova db in the resouces table for example

14:00:52 sean-k-mooney those are our two options caulate it form plamcnet or record mdevs in the db like pmem or pcidevices

14:01:17 sean-k-mooney so that we can just look it up

14:05:01 sean-k-mooney mnaser: it would be a bit of a hack but you could proably fix this with a bash script executed by a systemd service file tempoarlly

14:05:29 sean-k-mooney basically implemented the same logic

14:06:37 sean-k-mooney loop over the domains and for each with an mdev look up the placment allocation and get the rp with the vgpu resouces
