#openstack-nova - 2026-05-04
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.

16:51:30 Uggla ^ in the meantime, I will look at making this a permanent one.
16:51:50 gibi Uggla: these are easy triage targes https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bugs?field.tag=eventlet-removal
16:51:52 gibi *targets
16:52:54 Uggla gibi, yeah I know about them. That's my joker.
16:53:01 gibi ;)
16:53:43 Uggla btw I had a fs full on the box collecting the stats, so the measurement stopped for several days.
16:53:59 Uggla Latest quick topic
16:54:00 Uggla #topic Open discussion
16:54:20 gibi Uggla: you need to migrate to the cloud with infinite disk :D
16:54:23 Uggla nothing on the agenda, but if someone wants to discuss something in the latest mn
16:56:05 Uggla so if nothing else, I think we are good.
16:56:10 gibi thanks folks
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

08:16:33 opendevreview ChungWon Lee proposed openstack/nova master: Add regression test for bug #2134375 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/984900
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?

13:23:19 stephenfin gibi: Could you re-apply your +2 on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/986881? I'd to change two jobs to target py311 instead of py310 (see https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/986881/1..4)
