| 16:27:38 | Uggla | thx gibi and sambork | |
| 16:27:50 | Uggla | skipping Layos topic because he is not available this week. | |
| 16:28:13 | Uggla | So new topic. | |
| 16:28:15 | Uggla | #topic Ironic review priorities | |
| 16:28:51 | cardoe | We've got a couple of patches around the performance that sean-k-mooney has been working on. | |
| 16:29:26 | cardoe | I'll let sean-k-mooney speak to those but there's also another one https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/985785 | |
| 16:30:49 | cardoe | We continue to see complaints about "Build of instance $UUID aborted: Failure prepping block device." as an error message. This is unique to Ironic because the network devices are setup in a different spot than the other drivers because of block devices over network. In the other driver paths there is a list of exceptions that's allowed to bubble up to the user which is not matched in this path. | |
| 16:30:58 | cardoe | https://opendev.org/openstack/nova/src/commit/fa64fa82bf22c7d1c947268ed388e4d428e8d408/nova/compute/manager.py#L3060 is the call site. | |
| 16:31:13 | cardoe | right now there's just one outstanding backport version at https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/986674 | |
| 16:31:33 | gibi | cardoe: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/985785 seems very clean and only impact ironic. So if we could get an ironic dev to confirm that this is good for ironic I have no problem to +2 it from nova perspective | |
| 16:32:38 | cardoe | +1 from me | |
| 16:33:01 | cardoe | On the BP list we've got https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/471815 for trunk support. | |
| 16:33:37 | cardoe | I do think for the "Failure prepping block device" issues that maybe we need a different approach in the driver. Like only trying to setup the networks for storage connections there and not all the networks. | |
| 16:33:51 | cardoe | Or mirroring the same exceptions that can bubble up to the user in both places. | |
| 16:34:06 | cardoe | Otherwise that's all I've got. | |
| 16:35:07 | Uggla | gibi, if I understand well Sean propose to use 955685 instead of mine 985785 | |
| 16:35:10 | gibi | cardoe: Uggla: can we resolve the conflict of who proposed the fix first for the num_instance thing? | |
| 16:35:30 | Uggla | So I was about to abandon it. | |
| 16:35:43 | gibi | fine by me, I cna review the earlier patch | |
| 16:35:49 | gibi | *can | |
| 16:36:24 | cardoe | Both have my +1. | |
| 16:36:28 | gibi | OK | |
| 16:38:04 | cardoe | We can take uggla's testing and squish it into the original author. Or whichever approach you'd like. I'll do the lift. | |
| 16:38:16 | Uggla | reading Sean I'm not sure which one he prefers. So I keep it open | |
| 16:39:26 | Uggla | cardoe, you also have this spec right: 471815: Expose vlan trunking in metadata/configdrive | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/471815 | |
| 16:39:33 | cardoe | yes | |
| 16:39:58 | cardoe | Happy to make updates if that's desired. Most of the feedback is around other parts of the existing spec that aren't necessarily clear. | |
| 16:42:04 | Uggla | cardoe what's the top priority for you atm ? | |
| 16:43:04 | cardoe | I think right now just figuring out how ironic folks can best work with the nova folks. I don't wanna make it harder for you folks to review or accept patches. So if we should be working on testing improvements we can do that. | |
| 16:43:33 | cardoe | From the operators I've asked the "Failure prepping block device" is one that's pretty annoying for them to handle. | |
| 16:46:12 | Uggla | ok, I think it helps to focus. | |
| 16:46:30 | Uggla | Am i wrong or there is not patch regarding "Failure prepping block device" yet ? | |
| 16:46:58 | cardoe | There's just a backport adding another exception into the list of allowed to be seen by the user. | |
| 16:47:35 | cardoe | So what I'm wondering is if it would be better to make a list of those that should be seen by the user and keep things in sync that way or if I need to look at approaching that call site differently. | |
| 16:47:45 | cardoe | It's a change to nova/compute/manager.py either way. | |
| 16:47:54 | Uggla | which is 986674: ironic: Abort build on fatal image validation errors | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/986674 right ? | |
| 16:48:05 | cardoe | Yes | |
| 16:48:26 | cardoe | ah no | |
| 16:48:27 | cardoe | Sorry | |
| 16:48:38 | cardoe | That's to not try to build over and over if the image is bad. | |
| 16:49:09 | cardoe | I linked the wrong review to this. | |
| 16:49:36 | Uggla | anyway the above patch is in the pipe now thanks to gibi. | |
| 16:49:40 | cardoe | Thank you. | |
| 16:49:53 | cardoe | I'll come back with better details next week. I've held you all up long enough. | |
| 16:50:13 | Uggla | thanks cardoe. | |

| 16:56:30 | Uggla | Time to close, thanks for joining this meeting. Have a nice day/evening and see you next week. | |

| 16:53:01 | dansmith | it's very simple :) | |
| 16:53:40 | bauzas | I'll try to look at it but I'm burned :( | |
| 16:53:59 | Uggla | dansmith, no I'm not ok, because you don't want to have fn tests. :) (just kidding) | |
| 16:54:08 | dansmith | Uggla: I added | |
| 16:55:13 | Uggla | dansmith, oh, so it is because I did not see the latest rev yet. But more seriously the spec is IMHO good. | |
| 16:56:45 | dansmith | bauzas: perhaps an easy spec for your morrow | |

| 08:34:45 | tafkamax | Hi, we have a question regarding live-migrate. Why do some nodes live-migrate really fast and some take many minutes up to 20 or so. | |
| 08:35:11 | tafkamax | I know it copies over RAM. But an VM with 8gb took many minutes and a vm with 24gb took 40 seconds or so. | |
| 08:35:15 | tafkamax | It feels very random. | |
| 08:39:59 | tafkamax | Where can I look for how this works and I can find a deterministic way to see why it varies so much? | |
