#openstack-nova - 2017-03-06
18:23:26 mriedem and i doubt anyone there will be new enough to have cells v2
18:23:47 johnthetubaguy we have previously had Nova folks at most of the ops summits, but a little bit by chance, I did the manchester one, for example
18:24:01 mriedem and sdague was in NY
18:24:06 johnthetubaguy mriedem: yeah I assumed that too, not sure why
18:24:08 mriedem and melwitt i think
18:24:20 mriedem well this is kind of last minute
18:24:25 johnthetubaguy yeah
18:24:40 mriedem cells v2 is going to be presented at the summit,
18:24:55 mriedem dansmith has a talk for it specifically, and i will be bringing it up in my talk about the new and notable in ocata
18:24:57 johnthetubaguy yeah, I think thats the right way to get that info
18:25:14 johnthetubaguy I duno what they want from the cells v2 session
18:25:21 mriedem i'm ignoring the fact that some operators are probably not going to be going to the summit b/c they traded for the ops meetup or PTG
18:25:42 johnthetubaguy the videos help some
18:26:46 mriedem sure, i just read an article from the register last night that linked to alaski's talk on cells v2 in austin
18:28:29 mriedem https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/01/under_octata_deep_dive/
18:28:31 mriedem oh octata
18:28:39 mriedem the release that was
18:29:07 mriedem also, side note, but i'm a bit worried about the amount of unicorn promises made in ^ about what you can do with placement in octata
18:29:13 mriedem jaypipes: you might find ^ interesting
18:29:46 mriedem they jumped the gun on qualitative traits-based scheduling by at least a release
18:30:02 cdent youch
18:30:47 cdent let's play startup: any press is better than no press
18:31:00 mriedem plus it's press for alaski
18:31:11 mriedem i also noticed "The Cola lifecycle management environment"
18:31:15 mriedem i wonder if that was meant to be kolla
18:31:39 jaypipes mriedem: that's what happens when you interview non-ATCs about technical stuff.
18:31:55 cdent "lifecycle management environment"
18:31:57 cdent that's a lovely phrase
18:32:17 mriedem you don't have to pick between slicing or dicing anymore
18:32:24 cdent \o/
18:32:50 alaski oh man. I don't want people watching me speak
18:33:28 cdent hope you had a clean shirt
18:33:49 mriedem he looked great
18:34:36 cdent of course he did
18:37:55 dims_ go alaski !
18:41:29 openstackgerrit Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: compute: Detach volumes on _rebuild_default_impl failure https://review.openstack.org/442105
18:42:12 mriedem jgriffith: you should take a look at this https://review.openstack.org/#/c/304715/13/specs/pike/approved/scaleio-ephemeral-storage-backend.rst@73
18:42:27 openstackgerrit Gábor Antal proposed openstack/nova master: Remove mox in unit/cells/test_cells_manager.py https://review.openstack.org/399036
18:42:29 jgriffith mriedem looking
18:42:34 mriedem jgriffith: that's saying it's going to take 2-3 releases to add a cinder imagebackend to nova
18:42:34 jgriffith oh dear
18:42:43 mriedem and because of that, we shouldn't wait on adding the scaleio imagebackend
18:42:56 sdague johnthetubaguy: we've tried to get geographic coverage
18:43:27 mriedem jgriffith: also fyi we've had 2 blueprints for the cinder ephemeral backend in the past https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-ephemeral-cinder https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-ephemeral-storage-with-cinder
18:43:47 sdague however, it is the danger of doing an ops summit kind of far away from where dev teams are, we're just not going to get that coverage
18:44:10 jgriffith mriedem so what you're saying is I need to get my *&^% together and get a spec with some comittemnts to timelines :)
18:44:51 mriedem jgriffith: well, the assertions made in the scaleio spec are kind of scary and i assume you would disagree with at least part of them
18:45:15 mriedem jgriffith: so just bringing that to your attention, but yeah at some point sooner than later we'll want to start looking at a spec
18:45:17 jgriffith mriedem yeah, I'm going through it now
18:45:23 jgriffith mriedem thanks for raising it
18:45:26 mriedem https://review.openstack.org/#/c/91321/ was also an old spec,
18:45:30 mriedem but apparently lacking a lot of details
18:45:50 jgriffith mriedem best kind of spec is the spec with no details
18:45:51 jgriffith then you can't be held accountable :)
18:45:51 mriedem probably not even worth getting distracted by it
18:50:10 mriedem that reminds me, i need to hedge in my searchlight spec about the fact you won't be able to list deleted instances if nova is using searchlight
18:50:17 mriedem dansmith: ^ did you read my email on that?
18:50:43 mriedem i probably need that in the cells meeting agenda
18:51:11 edmondsw mriedem, tx for the ping. It's a good question. I will talk to some folks here to figure out how important log translations are. My current understanding is that yes, we need those
18:51:45 mriedem edmondsw: you'll have to pony up some translators probably :)
18:52:02 edmondsw mriedem I've actually been trying to make that case...
19:21:35 openstackgerrit Logan V proposed openstack/nova master: Add LVM thin pool support https://review.openstack.org/442126
19:32:25 mriedem cfriesen: is that from your team? ^
19:33:30 dansmith mriedem: I didn't, but I saw it and thought "I should read that"
19:33:48 mriedem dansmith: ok, i'm just about to push the updated spec mentioning the issue, along with some other issues
19:33:52 dansmith cool
19:37:20 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova-specs master: List instances using Searchlight (spec) https://review.openstack.org/441692
19:37:28 mriedem cdent: gibi: ^ comments addressed, thanks for the review on that
19:40:27 logan- mriedem: (re: 442126) not from cfriesen's team, just me. hopefully I didn't miss any steps in the docs before pushing that. first patch in nova.
19:41:04 mriedem logan-: ok, cfriesen and the windriver team have something similar i'm told, and we talked about it at the ptg so figured it was his team pushing that up
19:41:11 mriedem since there is general interest
19:42:02 mriedem logan-: this is small enough that we probably don't need a spec, but you should probably mention the blueprint during the weekly nova meeting durin the 'open discussion' section
19:42:16 mriedem http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/#Nova_Team_Meeting
19:42:26 logan- sounds good. I wasn't sure if it was specless or not, so I figured i'd just push it and see. will make sure to be at the meeting this week.
19:42:46 logan- thanks
19:42:52 mriedem yw
19:49:37 openstackgerrit Sarafraj Singh proposed openstack/nova master: conf: remove console_driver opt https://review.openstack.org/441485
20:01:09 openstackgerrit Pushkar Umaranikar proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Stop using Neutron admin token https://review.openstack.org/439890
21:02:15 openstackgerrit Jay Pipes proposed openstack/nova master: virt: implement get_inventory() for Ironic https://review.openstack.org/441544
21:02:15 openstackgerrit Jay Pipes proposed openstack/nova master: virt: add get_inventory() virt driver API method https://review.openstack.org/441543
21:02:17 jaypipes mriedem: ^^ addressed your concerns
21:03:28 mriedem jgriffith: do you have time to talk with alexandrelevine about the scaleio ephemeral driver for nova?
21:04:13 alexandrelevine jgriffith: hi
21:04:33 jgriffith alexandrelevine hi
21:04:44 jgriffith mriedem alexandrelevine can you give me about a 1/2 hour?
21:04:52 jgriffith maybe less?
21:05:05 alexandrelevine jgriffith: Ok.
21:06:11 jgriffith alexandrelevine never mind, I'm available (you forget to include a dial in for a meeting invite you're out of luck)
21:06:24 alexandrelevine :)
21:06:40 jgriffith alexandrelevine :)
21:06:49 jgriffith soon they won't invite me at all :)
21:06:54 alexandrelevine So there is a problem with the ScaleIO ephemeral driver. And it's mostly historical and resource-wise. I'll explain.
21:07:00 jgriffith alexandrelevine sure
21:07:29 alexandrelevine We started doing it 1.5 years ago when we worked for EMC. And we were postponed because at the time a refactoring started in the same area - imagebackend.py
21:08:03 alexandrelevine We were told that it'll go fast and well but as often it didn't. So we were postponed once. And then twice because of communicational and organizational reasons.
21:08:10 alexandrelevine And now seems to be the third time.
21:08:29 alexandrelevine All this time we had to support patches for new versions of nova and ScaleIO aside from the main code.
21:08:49 jgriffith alexandrelevine so to be clear I have the luxury of being able to claim "not being involved" in any past efforts :)
21:08:51 alexandrelevine Now we've left EMC and we don't have enough resources to keep doing this cumbersome tasks.
21:09:05 jgriffith so while I feel for ya, I don't necessarily have anything to say about that
