16:29:37 dansmith bauzas: ^
16:29:48 dansmith jungleboyj: yes, are you here to hassle me about breaking the ceph job?
16:29:57 jungleboyj No, not at all.
16:30:06 jungleboyj Have a question for a customer.
16:30:29 jungleboyj Do you, or do you know of anyone who has experience setting up diskless compute nodes?
16:31:12 jungleboyj Is it even possible with Nova?
16:31:29 dansmith it's been done, but no direct experience. it's really not what nova was intended to do,
16:31:58 dansmith so I imagine you need some writable ramdisk area and obviously ceph-backed would be the way to go
16:32:07 dansmith but no, nothing really solid to recommend
16:32:29 dansmith (ceph because you can avoid downloading the image locally)
16:32:37 jungleboyj Right.
16:33:06 jungleboyj Is there data that needs to persist from boot to boot for Nova on the compute?
16:33:39 dansmith well, libvirt guest configs technically, but I imagine we'll recreate them if they're gone
16:34:11 dansmith jungleboyj: honestly you're going to have to try and iterate on the issues, I definitely can't point out all the icebergs without trying
16:34:49 kashyap a thousand open unit test report tabs
16:35:04 kashyap Oh god; please close some of 'em
16:35:08 dansmith jungleboyj: oh and in master now, we persist a compute node id file, which you'd need to restore on boot yourself somehow
16:35:10 jungleboyj Ok. It helps to know that, technically, it is possible. Trying to figure out how to help a customer that has a hardware config that limits what disk is available locally.
16:35:42 dansmith jungleboyj: but like i say, it's really fighting against nova's design, so it's not going to be fun :)
16:36:09 jungleboyj Understood. Thanks for the input. That was what I needed. :-)
16:36:33 kashyap That's a very handy phrase - "fighting against Nova's design"
16:51:34 bauzas I'm pretty harassed for the day folks (13 hours of work having started at 6am :) )
16:51:39 bauzas so, \o
16:51:49 bauzas dansmith: when I'm back, I'll look at your DNM
16:52:38 dansmith bauzas: it's just to actually run the tempest fix to validate, don't look. I tested locally it's all good, so hopefully we can get the tempest people to hit it quick
16:53:31 sean-k-mooney dansmith: +2 on the stable uuid doc, thanks for updating it https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/872977
16:53:40 dansmith sean-k-mooney: thanks
16:53:54 sean-k-mooney gibi: if perhaps you could be the second +2 its pretty short
16:54:22 sean-k-mooney or melwitt i would as bauzas but they are done for today
16:57:00 melwitt I will check it later and review if someone's not gotten to it yet
16:58:56 bauzas I still have a bit of juice
16:59:07 bauzas (but a terrible internet connection)
17:02:11 bauzas okay, +Wd
17:02:27 bauzas this ends my long day
17:04:21 bauzas dansmith: oh, actually before ending, any bug report you wanna want to have for the glance issue ?
17:04:53 dansmith bauzas: it's a bug in a bugfix, I think it's okay to just sweep it in
17:17:08 gibi sean-k-mooney: done
17:29:14 opendevreview Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Enable cpus when an instance is spawning https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/868237
17:30:33 bauzas This time done for the day ;-)
17:30:46 bauzas o/
17:36:37 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova master: Add docs for stable-compute-uuid behaviors https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/872977
18:06:52 opendevreview Amit Uniyal proposed openstack/nova stable/wallaby: libvirt: Delegate OVS plug to os-vif https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/790447
18:12:04 gibi bauzas sean-k-mooney: I'm more or less OK with the power management series. I'm happy with the sys fs fixture now. I left some nits but nothing serious
19:27:46 sean-k-mooney johnthetubaguy: jayF am i right in saying no work has happend on https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/2023.1/approved/ironic-shards.html and it will hopefully happne next cycle?
19:29:09 sean-k-mooney it loks like some of the code has landed https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:DBLayer_Shard_Key
19:29:50 sean-k-mooney so next cycle would just be the ironic driver changes in nova
19:34:15 gmann sean-k-mooney: placement one is merged. nova service role is pending. I will try to update the patch soon.
19:34:47 gmann it has been lot of other things and gate failures and I did not get chance to update that
19:34:59 sean-k-mooney ack
19:35:08 sean-k-mooney i was more wondering if we still planned to land it this cycle
19:35:25 sean-k-mooney i was hopeing we could but if it slips we can do it early next cycle
19:35:35 sean-k-mooney after RC1 is shiped in ~4 weeks
19:43:49 gmann yeah, let see if I can do it before FF
19:44:05 gmann elodilles: you need to remove it from check pipeline also along with template https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873242
19:45:42 opendevreview Ghanshyam proposed openstack/nova stable/victoria: [stable-only] Remove broken sdk job from wallaby https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873295
19:46:12 opendevreview Ghanshyam proposed openstack/nova stable/victoria: [stable-only] Remove broken sdk job from wallaby https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873295
19:46:31 gmann elodilles: basically backporting this ti victoria ^^
19:46:38 gmann I have updated the depend-on
21:34:22 opendevreview Merged openstack/nova stable/xena: nova-live-migration tests not needed for Ironic https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/855469
#openstack-nova - 2023-02-10
03:49:36 opendevreview Yusuke Okada proposed openstack/nova master: Fix failed count for anti-affinity check https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873216
04:10:02 opendevreview Yusuke Okada proposed openstack/nova master: Fix failed count for anti-affinity check https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873216
08:28:28 opendevreview Jorge San Emeterio proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Look for cpu controller on cgroups v2 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/873127
08:50:03 gibi bauzas: I start to think that the functional test failure is somehow changing behavior just becuase we added logging.
08:50:24 bauzas really ?
08:50:50 bauzas gibi: btw. saw your highlight yesterday, thanks, didn't had yet time to look at my series but I can surely rush for the nits
08:50:55 gibi we rechecked it through multiple days
08:51:09 gibi without hit
08:51:26 bauzas gibi: then we should merge it and see whether it magically solves our problem
08:51:32 bauzas gibi: we could prepare a revert
08:51:33 gibi lol :D
08:52:11 bauzas we're not really at risk for Feature Freeze and we have time to revert before RC1
08:52:22 bauzas butn,
08:52:25 gibi OK, let me push a new PS to clean things a bit up
08:52:32 gibi then I'm OK to merge it with a pending revert
08:52:40 bauzas if that solves the problem, then honestly, I don't know what to say
08:53:04 gibi yeah, I feel the same
08:53:07 bauzas we could merge some log saying "meh, don't be afraid, we love you"
09:00:54 bauzas gibi: btw. you know that our master branch is broken broken ? (c) elodilles
09:01:12 gibi bauzas: that is a news to me
09:01:13 bauzas I gonna recheck https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tempest/+/873300 just looking up the root cause of the CI failure
09:03:09 bauzas gibi: tl;dr when dan fixed the image caching issue in Tempest, unfortunately we were not having coverage so we regressed
09:03:51 bauzas I was in the train with limited connection yesterday so I haven't send a status email, but basically our ceph-multistore job is unhappy
09:04:31 bauzas the tempest fix went accepted soon so now there is no need to send a signal to the community but I just hope to not face problems with merging it
09:09:44 opendevreview Balazs Gibizer proposed openstack/nova master: Add logging to find test cases leaking libvirt threads https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/872975
09:09:49 gibi bauzas: pimped out ^^
09:10:14 bauzas lol
09:10:18 gibi bauzas: ack, thanks for the summary
09:10:22 bauzas it brightens
09:11:40 bauzas gibi: sean-k-mooney is on PTO today until wed, we need a second core
09:12:00 gibi hm mh
09:12:13 sean-k-mooney[m] i am but im reviewing your pm series
09:12:18 sean-k-mooney[m] right now
09:12:34 sean-k-mooney[m] so if you want me to look at something quickly i can
09:12:58 bauzas sean-k-mooney: oh, as you can
09:13:00 gibi sean-k-mooney[m]: just blindly merge https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/872975 please :D this is still trying to catch the functional tc
09:13:19 gibi that cause the libvirt import error in a later test
09:13:36 bauzas sean-k-mooney: for the PM series, I'll update the 3rd patch and work on a FUP given the method rename discussing in patch #2
09:13:48 gibi after couple of days of constant rechecks we did not get a hit
09:14:00 gibi so we think if we merge the extra log it will fix the gate (kidding)
09:15:48 gibi bauzas: one thing hit me during the night and now I remember it. If we do the rename of the get_online_cpus and return the offlined ones as well then I think cpu_shared_set will allow listing offline CPUs without nova rejecting it. While in the past such config was rejected
