#openstack-nova - 2023-04-11
17:49:49 opendevreview ribaudr proposed openstack/nova master: The purpose of this patch is to ensure that, in the event of a compute reboot, shares associated with instances are mounted successfully on the compute host during the service initialization process. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/880075
18:54:40 dansmith bauzas: I totally missed this, but apparently we should be working to remove hyperv: https://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2022-November/031044.html
19:03:20 sean-k-mooney oh ya
19:03:24 sean-k-mooney i rememebr seeing that
19:04:07 sean-k-mooney so ya we proably should deprecate it this cycle
19:04:12 sean-k-mooney and remove in C
19:04:29 sean-k-mooney ... or D with the new lifecycle
19:04:45 sean-k-mooney that kind of sucks as it proably should have been deprecated in A
19:05:02 gmann if os-win goes away in this cyle then we might need to just remove it ?
19:05:13 sean-k-mooney yep
19:05:27 sean-k-mooney can we retoactivly declare it deprecated for Antelope
19:05:37 sean-k-mooney assuming that happens
19:05:42 gmann humm
19:06:48 sean-k-mooney either way we shoudl declare it deprecated in bobcat
19:06:57 sean-k-mooney and see if we have issues with os-win
19:08:53 bauzas dansmith : we can send a deprecation signal by Bobcat if you want but continue to say it then in C
19:10:11 gmann even TC is reaching out operators if anyone using/have window based customer and can maintain the project/project-deps and will take final call on retirement of os-win in June event or so
19:10:58 dansmith IIRC, we already said that vmware was abandonware right?
19:11:05 gmann but from nova perspective, if we do not/have not seen much interest in hyperV then deprecating ASAP might be good. and if os-win retirement happen in this cycle then removal also in B only
19:11:12 dansmith so I feel like we could do the same for hyperv for the time being and then remove it according to our schedule
19:11:23 bauzas dansmith: yup we deprecated it IIRC
19:11:25 gmann yeah
19:11:53 dansmith yeah, so no need to freak out and yank it early, IMHO, just mark as deprecated, even if it can't run or fails with os-win problems and then we can remove it in D
19:12:13 dansmith the thing that concerns me the most however is the user survey showing 2% of users are using it
19:12:36 dansmith which, deprecation aside, also worries me :)
19:14:00 sean-k-mooney i woudl hope that existing deployment can continue to use the last release of os-win
19:14:14 gmann we can un-deprecate it if anyone come and maintain it. but I am worried that they might see this deprecation way after few cycle when they upgrade it to B and we might hve removed it by then
19:14:17 sean-k-mooney the issue will be with new python releases or its deps
19:14:59 sean-k-mooney well we would not remove it until D
19:15:14 sean-k-mooney unless we are forced to earlier
19:15:17 gmann that is question on how we want to do for supported stable branch, retirement means it goes away from supported releases also and what to tell on hyperV on stable is another challenges
19:15:36 sean-k-mooney we dont test hyperv in the first party ci
19:15:57 gmann yeah
19:15:59 sean-k-mooney so it really only affect stable branches if we fix a bug and want to backport it
19:16:46 gmann yeah, in case of stable broken on any fixes or so
19:17:12 gmann os-win stable is broken and then no way to fix it
19:18:28 gmann but deprecating it now is best we can do
19:22:56 gmann bauzas: dansmith: vmware driver is un-deprecated since victoria https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/742407
19:23:08 sean-k-mooney gmann: we redeprecated it again
19:23:19 dansmith lol
19:23:24 dansmith it has been so many times
19:23:36 gmann oh
19:24:24 gmann where is the latest deprecation ?
19:24:39 sean-k-mooney maybe im mistaken but i tought we did it in yoga?
19:24:58 dansmith that would have been the next release
19:26:21 gmann I cannot see if we re-deprecated after 742407
19:26:45 sean-k-mooney hum well ciwatch.mmedvede.net/project?project=nova&time=7+days seams to nolonger be working
19:26:58 sean-k-mooney has the third party ci been maintianed
19:27:47 sean-k-mooney http://207.189.188.190/logs/
19:28:12 sean-k-mooney im not seeing anything
19:28:47 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/q/commentby:vmwareminesweeper
19:28:53 sean-k-mooney ok so tehre are comments i gues
19:29:53 sean-k-mooney althouhg im not sure that is recent
19:31:26 gmann yeah, it seems it is not deprecated, I can see a few changes merged also in driver (last merged in Apr 29, 2022) so it is maintained ? :)
19:35:04 sean-k-mooney i think no
19:35:20 sean-k-mooney the undeprecation was condtional on them maintining the ci
19:35:30 sean-k-mooney it looks like it was shut down in april 2022
19:37:25 gmann this is what i found from melwitt topic in antelope PTG discussion, mark it as "not tested" explicitly https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-antelope-ptg#L216
19:37:42 sean-k-mooney ah yes i rememebr that
19:37:49 sean-k-mooney we wanted to not use the term deprecated
19:38:25 gmann humm, and no removal soon or when we decide to remove then go with deprecation first and then removal ?
19:38:25 sean-k-mooney i was looking for that message eiarler by the way
19:38:44 gmann ok
19:39:16 sean-k-mooney i think we left it at if it breaks we are not goignt to fix it unless someone comes with a patch
19:39:17 gmann i think for hyperV we can mark it deprecated as its deps going away soon....
19:39:28 gmann sean-k-mooney: k
19:39:29 sean-k-mooney but no one should deploy new installs with vmware
19:40:47 sean-k-mooney we proably need to actully do what we agreed there since im not seeing either a flag on the dirver or the message
19:40:50 sean-k-mooney in the logs
19:41:12 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/863911
19:41:19 sean-k-mooney we should have merged that
19:41:23 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/863910/1
19:41:29 sean-k-mooney and that in Antielope
19:41:36 sean-k-mooney i knew stephen had patches for this
19:42:12 sean-k-mooney bauzas: ^ we missed inclucing those
19:42:46 sean-k-mooney gmann: i think we should consider backporting those to stable/antelope
19:42:54 gmann i see
19:43:48 gmann sean-k-mooney: this 'not tested' is good to backport but for HyperV case we need to mark deprecated instead of experimental
19:44:45 sean-k-mooney i would prefer to do that as a third patch just to keep that discussion sperate form addign the warning
19:45:17 sean-k-mooney gmann: from a release note point of view both of these we going to be deprecations
19:45:32 gmann sure, that works fine. and we can backport this 'note tested' warning to reflect the actual things
19:45:43 sean-k-mooney we just didnt want to use that trem in the warning
19:46:00 sean-k-mooney basically we wanted to have the ablity to remove in b or C if needed
#openstack-nova - 2023-04-12
06:48:11 opendevreview Sam Morrison proposed openstack/nova master: Filter out deleted instances when looking for build timouts https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/880125
08:17:20 bauzas dansmith: gmann: sean-k-mooney: I added my thoughts on the deprecation patches but I'm afraid of the fact a backport wouldn't help operators to notice
08:48:13 opendevreview Jorge San Emeterio proposed openstack/nova master: WIP: Testing whether tests on bug#1998148 still fail. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/880135
09:05:44 Uggla bauzas , hi, if you have some time, can you have a look at the virtiofs series and especially the interfaces ?
09:06:10 bauzas sure I've seen your updates
09:06:30 bauzas but I need a jar of coffee first
09:34:25 sean-k-mooney Uggla: have you moved the libvirt driver changes for creating the xml config to the start fo the series
09:34:52 sean-k-mooney that should be the first set of patches in the serise so that can be merged to allow scaphanda work to start in parallel
09:35:08 sean-k-mooney while we wait for manialla to add the lock api
09:36:32 manuvakery1 nova.boot_servers: 18.803 sec (Avg)
09:36:32 manuvakery1 make the server count to 5 added a huge difference in delete server
09:36:32 manuvakery1 nova.delete_servers: 14.675 sec (Avg)
09:36:32 manuvakery1 nova.boot_servers : 11.941 sec (Avg)
09:36:32 manuvakery1 Hi, I have a 2 node cluster and I am running a rally scenario against it to create and delete servers. When i set the server count to 2 I see the response time as follows
09:36:33 manuvakery1 is this expected?
09:36:33 manuvakery1 nova.delete_servers: 42.988 sec (Avg)
09:37:14 manuvakery1 the compute nodes are not under any load
