| 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 | |

| 16:17:25 | Uggla | Also skiping Gibi's point about eventlet removal due to Gibi's well deserved pto. | |
| 16:17:59 | Uggla | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:18:17 | melwitt | I have a small topic | |
| 16:18:18 | Uggla | So jssfr, giving the mic to you. | |
| 16:18:26 | jssfr | thanks! | |
| 16:18:38 | jssfr | so we're currently looking into two topics which are somewhat related: | |
| 16:18:41 | jssfr | first we're rebasing https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/621646 | |
| 16:18:53 | jssfr | second I proposed a draft patch for a vTPM data preservation issue a couple weeks ago: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/955657 | |
| 16:19:22 | sean-k-mooney | o/ sorry was doign something else | |
| 16:19:26 | jssfr | o/ | |
| 16:19:38 | jssfr | I also think that sean-k-mooney proposed something similar to the vTPM draft for UEFI NVRAM preservation | |
| 16:20:00 | jssfr | we'd like to hear whether we're heading the right direction by rebasing #621646 regarding UEFI, or whether there might be a better way. | |
| 16:20:17 | sean-k-mooney | i was suggeing bring it up in this meetign yes | |
| 16:20:20 | melwitt | oh, good. this was the topic I wanted heh (vTPM data) | |
| 16:20:24 | sean-k-mooney | or rather that melwitt bring it up | |
| 16:20:35 | jssfr | I also saw only now that you replied to #955657, because I had my inbox sorting messed up, reading that now. | |
| 16:21:00 | sean-k-mooney | melwitt: do you want to summerize | |
| 16:21:08 | jssfr | read it | |
| 16:21:12 | melwitt | sure | |
| 16:21:33 | melwitt | we are looking for input and consensus about handling the recently raised issue in the community regarding vTPM data that is lost across guest reboots https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2118888 and https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/955657 the tl;dr is that this is a latent problem that originates in libvirt | |
| 16:22:08 | melwitt | libvirt added a flag for this VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_KEEP_TPM a couple of years after vTPM was added in Nova and jssfr has proposed a patch for using the flag ^ | |
| 16:22:20 | jssfr | (which will need a bit of work, such as adding tests) | |
| 16:22:30 | jssfr | (but I can do that) | |
| 16:22:53 | sean-k-mooney | there is a related but seperate issue that related to the nvram data | |
| 16:23:08 | sean-k-mooney | again there are now flag to supprot keeping or removing the nvram file | |
| 16:23:32 | jssfr | (UEFI NVRAM bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1785123, patch-with-merge-conflicts is https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/621646 ) | |
| 16:23:37 | dansmith | so if we do that, we need to do our own deleting of the TPM file when we undefine to actually delete the instance? | |
| 16:23:51 | jssfr | dansmith, no, because we can just not pass that flag when we truly want to delete | |
| 16:23:57 | sean-k-mooney | dansmith: no. we can pass the keep or delte flag as approtiate | |
| 16:23:58 | jssfr | in my draft patch, I tied it to the delete_storage bool IIRC | |
| 16:24:01 | dansmith | oh it's a flag _to_ undefine? | |
| 16:24:04 | jssfr | yes :) | |
| 16:24:06 | melwitt | yes | |
| 16:24:07 | dansmith | okay | |
| 16:24:26 | dansmith | ah I see yes, okay | |
| 16:24:57 | sean-k-mooney | so we have a number of placess we undefine the vm today wher the data shoudl not be deleted, hard-reboot is one but also some volume operations require use to temporlly undefien the domain | |
