| 16:33:04 | sean-k-mooney | or rahter the oldest stable is not ment to test upgrading form unmaintaiend but you coudl run it your self i guess | |
| 16:34:53 | elodilles | sean-k-mooney: yes, the oldest stable is officially not supported, so can be disabled, though if it works then i'd rather ask for keeping it, and also help maintaining it as long as it possible | |
| 16:35:24 | sean-k-mooney | well the counter point to that | |
| 16:35:38 | sean-k-mooney | is we want to evntually be able to remove old disto images and mirrors | |
| 16:36:11 | sean-k-mooney | so im not objecting to keepign it for a release or two bvut we shoudl nto keep it indefinetly | |
| 16:36:18 | elodilles | of course if it blocks the gate then it can be removed (though i'd rather set it as non-voting if not completely unfixable or broken forever) | |
| 16:36:49 | elodilles | sean-k-mooney: +1 | |
| 16:36:50 | sean-k-mooney | 2023.1 is using ubuntu 22.04 which is supprot until 2027 | |
| 16:36:58 | sean-k-mooney | that kind of the upper bound on testing that IMO | |
| 16:37:29 | sean-k-mooney | so it has 18months+ runway i think | |
| 16:37:53 | sean-k-mooney | anyway we can likely move on since its not being EOLd this cycle but we could talk about it more at the ptg if poepel wanted | |
| 16:38:40 | elodilles | yepp | |
| 16:39:04 | gmaan | I am only concern about the running grenade skip job on Epoxy which will be from caracal to Epoxy and if we can continue running it it will be great | |
| 16:39:25 | gmaan | and it seems like we will do that until it is broken so I am good here | |
| 16:39:41 | elodilles | gmaan: ++ | |
| 16:40:28 | Uggla | ok so moving on. | |
| 16:40:36 | Uggla | thx elodilles | |
| 16:40:42 | Uggla | #topic vmwareapi 3rd-party CI efforts Highlights | |
| 16:40:50 | fwiesel | No updates from my side | |
| 16:41:03 | Uggla | fwiesel thanks | |
| 16:41:15 | Uggla | #topic Gibi's news about eventlet removal | |
| 16:41:18 | gibi | o/ | |
| 16:41:37 | Uggla | gibi anything on your side ? | |
| 16:42:06 | gibi | then first couple of patches are reviewable on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/956089/ | |
| 16:42:16 | gibi | and the ptg etherpad as the longer term plan | |
| 16:42:53 | gibi | Also please report any strange test failures from nova-next, since last week we run conduct there in threading mode as well | |
| 16:43:08 | gibi | (top of scheduler api, and metadata) | |
| 16:43:13 | gibi | that is ti | |
| 16:43:15 | gibi | it | |
| 16:43:18 | sean-k-mooney | hum on the rbd thread pool i guess everually we will wnat to use the asinc api instead | |
| 16:43:30 | sean-k-mooney | so we can actully pass timeouts ectra | |
| 16:44:17 | sean-k-mooney | but i guess the intial plan is to just not swapn it on a tread pool at all which i guess is ok | |
| 16:44:19 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: this will not prevent doing that later when we actaully go and translate the nova-compute | |
| 16:44:44 | sean-k-mooney | ack ya just chekcign that still the medium term plan | |
| 16:44:46 | gibi | the patches on that series are for unblocking unit testing | |
| 16:44:47 | opendevreview | Merged openstack/nova master: Move cleanup of vTPM secret from driver to compute https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/962007 | |
| 16:45:17 | sean-k-mooney | ah ok | |
| 16:47:03 | gibi | I think we can move on | |
| 16:47:11 | Uggla | thx gibi | |
| 16:47:20 | Uggla | #topic Open discussion | |
| 16:47:45 | Uggla | Just a reminder for the poll: Pool for the new schedule of upstream meeting: https://framadate.org/ao12zK6wR3K3nfbF | |
| 16:48:10 | Uggla | Anything you want to discuss ? | |
| 16:48:25 | nicolairuckel | I worked on a patch to preserve the NVRAM after reboots that got mentioned a few weeks ago. | |
| 16:48:39 | nicolairuckel | I'm not sure if that's the correct place to talk about that. | |
| 16:48:47 | Uggla | yes | |
| 16:48:54 | nicolairuckel | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/959682 | |
| 16:49:29 | sean-k-mooney | looks like it needs a rebase | |
| 16:49:59 | nicolairuckel | The only caveat is that at the moment you have to set the permissions for the NVRAM file manually. I wasn't able to figure out if there's a way to change the permissions through libvirt. | |
| 16:50:08 | nicolairuckel | sean-k-mooney, I'll do that! | |
| 16:50:35 | sean-k-mooney | why do you need to do that? | |
| 16:51:27 | nicolairuckel | If you don't add read permissions, there will be a permissions error on a reboot and it won't be preserved. | |
| 16:52:04 | sean-k-mooney | wait why are you copying the file to the instnce dir an back | |
| 16:52:04 | nicolairuckel | The libvirt people told me that the permissions are like than intentionally. It's just a bit weird to me that the disk file has read permissions. | |
| 16:52:23 | sean-k-mooney | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/959682/3/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#10919 | |
| 16:52:32 | nicolairuckel | The file contains the UEFI variables that I want to preserve. | |
| 16:52:42 | sean-k-mooney | i tought we were goign to preseve this by passign the libvirt flag to the doamin cleanup to preserve the file | |
| 16:53:36 | nicolairuckel | You mean I could skip copying the file? | |
| 16:53:42 | sean-k-mooney | yes | |
| 16:53:58 | nicolairuckel | I see. I'm going to try that. | |
| 16:53:59 | sean-k-mooney | so for the vtpm data we can pass a flag to tell libvirt not to delete it when the domein is undefiend | |
| 16:54:05 | sean-k-mooney | i belive we can do the same for the nvram | |
| 16:54:19 | sean-k-mooney | i could be mistaken but i belive there was a flag for the nvram as well | |
| 16:54:24 | nicolairuckel | That would be a better solution for sure. | |
| 16:54:26 | sean-k-mooney | so we would not need ot copy the file | |
| 16:54:37 | nicolairuckel | I'm going to look into that, thank you. | |
| 16:55:12 | nicolairuckel | How can I find a reviewer when that is done? Should I just bring it up again next week? | |
| 16:56:47 | sean-k-mooney | you can also ping on irc | |
| 16:56:52 | nicolairuckel | okay | |
| 16:57:01 | sean-k-mooney | we will proably see it updated but you can reach out if we dont | |
| 16:57:03 | Uggla | nicolairuckel, ping on the channel | |
| 16:57:16 | nicolairuckel | thanks | |
| 16:57:23 | nicolairuckel | that would be all from my side then | |
| 16:57:56 | gibi | nicolairuckel: thanks for working on it | |

| 16:58:52 | sean-k-mooney | that the flag we need to pass to not delete it when the domain is undeifed | |
| 16:58:57 | Uggla | nicolairuckel, yes thanks for working on it | |
