| 12:48:25 | Uggla | gibi, 👍 | |
| 12:48:47 | gibi | pinged #openstack-qa about it | |
| 13:54:44 | dansmith | gibi: got it | |
| 13:55:50 | gibi | dansmith: thanks | |
| 13:56:00 | gibi | Uggla: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstacksdk/+/956369 is unblocking the gate hopefully | |
| 14:14:37 | opendevreview | Merged openstack/nova master: Document native threading mode and tuneables https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/949364 | |
| 14:24:00 | opendevreview | Lajos Katona proposed openstack/nova master: WIP Use SDK for Neutron https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/928022 | |
| 14:24:42 | stephenfin | oooh | |
| 14:48:18 | opendevreview | Artem Vasilyev proposed openstack/nova master: Fix functional tests and mypy linter on macOS https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/937727 | |
| 14:48:34 | opendevreview | Artem Vasilyev proposed openstack/nova master: mypy: fix type annotations for PciDevicePoolList and NUMATopologyLimits https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/955792 | |
| 15:13:55 | sean-k-mooney | not sure how folks feel about modifyign code to allw the test to run on macos | |
| 15:13:57 | sean-k-mooney | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/937727 | |
| 15:14:38 | sean-k-mooney | i vagly recall doign somethign similar for arm/riscv and or cygwin in the past | |
| 15:14:57 | sean-k-mooney | mainly fixing mock to make tests pass where we assume the architecutre | |
| 15:20:09 | dansmith | I'm okay with changes to make unit (and functional?) tests run on macos | |
| 15:20:21 | dansmith | not okay with making runtime changes | |
| 15:20:45 | dansmith | the check for ty,TYPE_CHECKING seems really weird and like probably some sort of hack that could end up affecting runtime in some weird scenario | |
| 15:59:01 | sean-k-mooney | dansmith: ya that the bit that i was unsure about | |
| 15:59:25 | sean-k-mooney | so thats a standard thing that is ues for doign thing like optional inporitng for type hint | |
| 15:59:51 | sean-k-mooney | but it normally not used in if statement like that | |
| 16:00:45 | sean-k-mooney | i flipped beteen +2 -1 liek 3 or 4 times and then decied i woudl jsut ask everyone | |
| 16:01:23 | sean-k-mooney | places where we are actully reading /proc or /sys are obvioulsy wrong and we shoudl fix the missing mocks | |
| 16:01:55 | sean-k-mooney | that what i recall fixing for arm or cygwin in the past | |
| 16:43:07 | stephenfin | left a comment on the change by mypy lets you configure the platform | |
| 16:43:11 | stephenfin | *but | |
| 17:29:27 | melwitt | cool thanks gmaan | |
| 17:32:32 | melwitt | ++ gibi I see it is merged now :) | |
| 17:53:37 | melwitt | dansmith: just checking, you aren't waiting on me for anything on the vtpm live migration series are you? | |
| 17:53:56 | dansmith | no, sorry I need to circle back | |
| 17:54:23 | dansmith | kinda was trying to get as much eventlet done before gibi left for two weeks, but also got roped into some glance stuff | |
| 17:54:43 | melwitt | ok no worries, I was second guessing myself :) | |
| 22:11:59 | mikal | sean-k-mooney: I realised this morning I was forgetting something last night. I think the next Nova patch would be to support secure TLS in the HTML5 SPICE client, but I won't look at that until Kolla is working. So probably no earlier than G? | |

| 13:49:58 | NicolaiRuckel | I tried to implement some changes in Nova's libvirt.driver and now some test cases fail with "nova.exception.ObjectActionError: Object action obj_load_attr failed because: attribute system_metadata not lazy-loadable". Does anyone have an idea where to look for debugging? I couldn't figure out where this would be set yet. | |

| 02:56:18 | cardoe | Hey all. I've brought this spec up before and folks have said they're good with it. There's a number of operators that are patching the nova code with patches to achieve this. I'm trying to advocate for these downstream operators to engage more with upstream OpenStack projects with my TC member hat on. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/471815 | |
| 02:56:48 | cardoe | We're now seeing associated projects (neutron) marking the patches as abandoned because they don't believe it'll go anywhere. | |
| 02:57:31 | cardoe | Please help me folks. | |
| 06:17:07 | jkulik | NicolaiRuckel: sounds to me like you're using system_metadata in your patches, but the object doesn't have that loaded - and can't load it later on. system_metadata would have to get queried out (or set, since we're talking about tests) when the Instance is fetched from the DB/created in the tests. | |
| 09:27:36 | opendevreview | Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: tests: Replace keystoneclient with keystoneauth1 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/951744 | |
| 09:27:38 | NicolaiRuckel | jkulik: The weird thing is that I didn't knowingly touch system_metadata at all. | |
| 09:42:20 | jkulik | NicolaiRuckel: then maybe your patch calls some function that does consume it? little hard to tell ;) | |
| 09:52:24 | NicolaiRuckel | What surprised me is that the tests (for example functional.libvirt.test_uefi:test_create_server) always had the assertion `self.assertIn('image_hw_machine_type', instance.system_metadata)` and used to pass but somehow I managed to make it not lazy-loadable anymore. Is there any documentation on how system_metadata gets set/defined? | |
| 09:53:39 | jkulik | afaik, there's just code. | |
| 09:54:10 | NicolaiRuckel | I was afraid that this would be the answer. :D | |
| 09:54:28 | jssfr | NicolaiRuckel, maybe you can link / paste the specific patch you're looking at? | |
| 09:59:06 | NicolaiRuckel | one second, I need to make the repository public first | |
| 10:05:52 | NicolaiRuckel | This seems to be the commit that breaks the test: https://gitlab.com/NicolaiRuckel/nova/-/commit/9d6e6f44d5129a9de3c7f4a636e82411a711e3e3 | |
| 10:15:23 | jkulik | Your use of `objects.Intance` looks weird. If I understand it right, you're assigning the `uuid` to the class - not an individual Instance instance. Maybe that breaks stuff. | |
| 10:31:09 | NicolaiRuckel | That sounds reasonable. I'll look into that. Thanks! | |
| 11:24:37 | darkhackernc | https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2119126 team can someone look into this | |
| 11:32:29 | mohsen__ | cpu_dedicated_set = 18-35,54-71 | |
| 11:32:29 | mohsen__ | cpu_shared_set = 0-17,36-53 | |
| 11:32:29 | mohsen__ | [compute] | |
| 11:32:29 | mohsen__ | I have set the following configs in my nova compute nova.conf file: | |
| 11:32:29 | mohsen__ | hello everyone. I have an issue with resource tracking in openstack. | |
| 11:32:30 | mohsen__ | The issue is that the placement service periodically adds the specified set of dedicated cpus to the inventory as PCPU section, and after a while, it removes the PCPU section of the inventory unexpectedly. which results to not being able to delete instances and getting the following error: | |
| 11:32:30 | mohsen__ | and I enabled the NUMATopologyFilter and AggregateInstanceExtraSpecsFilter filters so that I can schedule cpu-pinned instances on my desired aggregate of compute hosts. | |
| 11:32:32 | mohsen__ | Error during ComputeManager.update_available_resource: nova.exception.ReshapeNeeded: Virt driver indicates that provider inventories need to be moved. | |
| 11:32:34 | mohsen__ | I appreciate your ideas in advance | |
| 11:57:24 | sean-k-mooney | mohsen__: is this an existign deployment with workload? | |
| 11:57:53 | sean-k-mooney | modifyign the legacy vcpu_pin_set and newer cpu_*_sets shoudl only be done on empty hosts | |
| 12:00:28 | sean-k-mooney | im not aware of a bug that would cause the issue you describe but it sound like the "reshape" code that is run when upgrading to a release that supprot pinned and unpined guests on the same host is trying to fix the allocations/inventories. i dont know what woudl cause the pcpu invetoies to be removed other hten perhaps if the resouce tracker was broken by vms running on the | |
| 12:00:30 | sean-k-mooney | wrong cores. that can happen if you defiend or modifed those values when vms were on the hosts | |
| 12:02:42 | sean-k-mooney | darkhackernc: if the compute service is down the instance is not expected to be manageable via the nova api | |
| 12:06:14 | mohsen__ | Thank you for your helpful response | |
| 12:06:14 | mohsen__ | sean-k-mooney: Yes. My OpenStack environment already has a couple of instances up and running on it. | |
| 12:13:16 | sean-k-mooney | darkhackernc: this looks like a masikari issue so i marked the bug as invliad for nova. | |
| 12:26:13 | NicolaiRuckel | jkulik: That really helped. I was able to fix the problem now. | |
| 12:31:37 | jkulik | NicolaiRuckel: nice! | |
| 12:36:21 | opendevreview | Lajos Katona proposed openstack/nova master: WIP Use SDK for Neutron https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/928022 | |
| 13:09:25 | mohsen__ | sean-k-mooney: I migrated all the instances from one compute node to another computes. then reconfigured nova with the mentioned config above on the compute host where there aren't any instances no longer. then I ran "openstack resource provider inventory list <compute-host-uuid>" command and find out that the same issue still exists. what could be the root cause? | |
| 13:10:34 | sean-k-mooney | mohsen__: you have restared the compute agent on the host since it was drained? | |
| 13:11:49 | mohsen__ | sean-k-mooney: since I used kolla-ansible to reconfigure it, it has a handler which do the restart task after modification. I didn't do it manually but I can test it. | |
| 13:12:01 | sean-k-mooney | if so and the issue still happens i think your going to have to file a bug with some logs. i.e. the full error message or warning form the reouce tracker and or perodic task related to the createion or update of the resouce provider | |
| 13:12:44 | sean-k-mooney | mohsen__: you did the reconfiugre while there were isntances on the host correct | |
| 13:12:54 | sean-k-mooney | have you restarted it since it was empty | |
| 13:14:25 | mohsen__ | sean-k-mooney: I evacuated all the instances and then ran the kolla-ansible to reconfigure it. the restart task had been run after all the instances were evacuated. | |
| 13:18:04 | mohsen__ | sean-k-mooney: After evacuating all the instances and after reconfiguration, I manually restarted it and the issue still persist. sounds like there is no way unless reporting a bug🤔 | |
| 13:18:15 | sean-k-mooney | ack, without inspecigng the logs and or error i cant really advise more. i likely wont have time to dig much deeper in the short term unfortunetly. i woudl suggeset filing a bug and trying to extract any relevent log messages (ideally at debug level) that are related to teh execution of the update_aviable_resouce provider perodic and the intiall startup of the agent related to | |
| 13:18:17 | sean-k-mooney | when it initally created teh RP invetories with the PCPUs inventory. you mentioned it initally was created and then lost correct? it would be good to try and capture the relevent logs showing both | |
| 13:21:16 | mohsen__ | sean-k-mooney: Thank you for your guidance | |
| 14:58:27 | cardoe | I know the nova meeting is coming up and I just want to ping on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/471815 I pinged earlier. | |
