#openstack-nova - 2026-03-02
16:17:59	Uggla	Can we also look at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/972601: return error about external network to the user on build failure from Cardoe. It would be great to get special care for that one, because, unless I'm wrong, we missed it in the previous cycle, and it's important for Cardoe.
16:18:36	kaisers	Quick question related to reviews: I've a small change up to drop warnings on the libvirt volume Quobyte driver, it was recently set back to supported in Cinder. Does such a change need any additional background? It is not really a bugfix but also not a new feature, so i am not sure if should do anything or just let it sit.
16:18:42	cardoe	Thanks Uggla. We just got a number of bug reports about this from users. It was 4 by my last count so clearly folks are using nova+ironic out there.
16:19:01	kaisers	sry, didn't want to fire in between
16:20:07	Uggla	kaisers can you provide the link of the patch, I will add it to the list
16:20:17	kaisers	yes, thnx. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/977300
16:22:19	Uggla	does someone wants to add something else ?
16:22:26	r-taketn	Uggla: I’ve read the irclogs and understood your decision that we have extra weeks regarding sev refactor series. Thank you for your confirmation.
16:22:55	Uggla	r-taketn yep.
16:23:57	Uggla	r-taketn, please continue the effort on that topic if you can. That will be good to have this for next cycle AMD-SNP and TDX.
16:25:31	r-taketn	Thank you. I will continue this series during next two weeks. I’ve updated the code and comments. Please review them if cores have time.
16:26:08	Uggla	yep at least gibi told me he will follow up on your serie
16:26:15	gibi	r-taketn: I'm planning to spend time with your refactor tomorrow of the day after
16:26:39	Uggla	gibi 👍
16:26:50	r-taketn	gibi: Thank you!
16:27:09	Uggla	can we move on ?
16:27:33	r-taketn	That’s all from me. Thanks
16:27:44	Uggla	r-taketn your welcome.

16:30:02	gmaan	tkajinam: on that topic, I commented on gerrit, your change is ok for me but let's fix the test as this bug fix and we can discuss further about how better we can handle the error

16:34:33	Uggla	seems fwiesel is not available so moving on.
16:34:41	Uggla	#topic Gibi's news about eventlet removal
16:34:44	gibi	o/
16:35:00	gibi	nova-compute now can run in native threading mode (default is still eventlet)
16:35:09	bauzas	\o/
16:35:14	gibi	and nova-next runs nova-compute and the rest with native threading
16:35:14	dansmith	yay
16:35:17	Uggla	\o/
16:35:43	gmaan	\o/
16:35:44	dansmith	I apologize for being so absent on those reviews, but is there a reno asking operators to test and provide feedback?
16:35:48	fwiesel	Uggla: Sorry. was distracted. no updates
16:36:04	Uggla	fwiesel no worries
16:36:20	gibi	dansmith: there is reno about the change and nova logs at startup to asking for testing first in pre-prod
16:36:39	gibi	dansmith: we can emphesize the feedback part in the prelude
16:36:56	Uggla	dansmith, gibi, I will try to do it in prelude and highlights
16:37:04	dansmith	ack, sounds good.. this, probably more than any previous thing really needs some concerted feedback I think
16:37:08	gmaan	++ for prelude
16:37:11	gmaan	gibi: I am changing to run graceful shutdown job in both mode (eventlet mode as periodic), so that we will have coverage for both https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/978292
16:37:12	dansmith	prelude seems like a good place
16:37:22	gibi	gmaan: cool
16:37:27	gibi	dansmith: I agree.
16:38:00	gibi	we punted novncproxy to H but there is some WIP patch up already from Kamil
16:38:42	gibi	I have a set of unit test patches that we can still land becore RC1 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/970069
16:39:17	gibi	and I have a long list of TODOs for cleanups about executors that I will prepare patches for for early H
16:40:35	gibi	I still plan to hold the eventlet sync this week but maybe skip some calls during the RC period
16:40:52	gibi	just to restrat in full force once master is open of H
16:40:54	gibi	that is it from me
16:41:09	gibi	ohh one more thing
16:41:13	gibi	that fwiesel is around
16:41:32	gibi	fwiesel: could you help me debugging the vmware CI with native threading
16:41:43	gibi	https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/973468
16:41:51	opendevreview	Doug Goldstein proposed openstack/nova master: return error about external network to the user on build failure https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/972601
16:41:53	gibi	see the comments from me in ^^
16:42:02	gibi	I mean in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/973468
16:42:11	gibi	the image upload seems to be problematic
16:42:27	gibi	but snapshot works well with the libvirt driver so this is vmware driver specific
16:42:36	gibi	so I need your help
16:44:04	Uggla	fwiesel ?
16:44:55	gibi	fwiesel: it is OK if you just read back and we can discuss outside of the meeting as well
16:45:58	Uggla	fwiesel will probably answer later, moving on to the next topic
16:46:13	Uggla	#topic Nova using openstack sdk for neutron
16:46:43	lajoskatona	o/ thanks
16:47:00	lajoskatona	short feedback: no progress since last meeting
16:47:43	lajoskatona	I plan to update the floating IP and port reated changes and clean them (the one for ports actually is red so have to work more on that I think)
16:47:50	gmaan	what's the plan on this, are we ok to merge those in rc period or wait till H?
16:48:10	dansmith	I assume these are not without risk right?
16:48:10	lajoskatona	no worries, I think now everybody busy with the releae and later with RCs
16:48:28	gmaan	yeah, there is risk
16:48:33	Uggla	gmaan, to my mind there is no urgency. And it is more something for H
16:48:56	lajoskatona	yes, I would wait till beginning of H to have time for testing in CI
16:49:00	lajoskatona	+1
16:49:06	gmaan	k, bcz I planned to review it but missed the FF so I can start but wait for H to open for merging
16:50:16	Uggla	lajoskatona I think we are good.
16:50:28	Uggla	moving to next topic
16:50:33	Uggla	#topic Bug scrubbing
16:50:43	Uggla	#info up to 212 (-4)
16:51:08	Uggla	I'll continue to focus on that this week.
16:51:30	Uggla	Today because we are a bit short of time, I would like to discuss only this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2141325 opened by gibi.
16:51:59	gibi	o/
16:52:03	gibi	so in short
16:52:23	gibi	nova assumes during live migration prep that a single VM does not have multiple tap devs with the same MAC
16:52:36	gibi	but neutron allows setting MAC on port objects
16:52:59	gibi	so one can set up a VM with two ports in different neworks with the same MAC
16:53:05	gibi	and live migration will fail
16:53:35	gibi	question: do we want to fix it, or do we want to state that please don't try to do this
16:53:48	dansmith	is the limitation a nova thing or a libvirt/qemu thing?
