19:58:52 dansmith yeah
19:59:28 cfriesen_ weird python question....how is the "return" value from main() in cmd/manage.py expected to be consumed?
19:59:48 cfriesen_ it doesn't seem to have any effect on the process return value if run from the shell
19:59:49 efried Recently, too - but only relative to the aforementioned "by name (not ID!)" thing ;-)
20:02:14 mriedem goes back to https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/19da125805eedbfcfd202abac4a90c57e6c538c4
20:02:49 mriedem https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c8e8b44ef27e49b3986659ee0cb6bd77b38430d8/nova/virt/libvirt_conn.py#L797
20:02:59 mriedem so, it just always returned that other crap
20:03:05 mriedem because we could
20:03:15 mriedem because the libvirt domain api gave it to us
20:04:00 mriedem https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/c8e8b44ef27e49b3986659ee0cb6bd77b38430d8/nova/virt/xenapi/vm_utils.py#L686
20:05:51 efried Dig. I'll go with the plan, then. I'll just add a comment explaining it, so my posterity doesn't do a tim-the-tool-man like I did.
20:06:17 mriedem efried: there is one place where something besides 'state' is used, and it's in the libvirt driver's _destroy() method
20:06:23 mriedem checking to see if the domain id changed
20:07:23 mriedem unless there is another way to skin that id cat, we'd have to leave it,
20:07:33 mriedem but otherwise, if it were me, i'd remove all of that other unused garbage
20:07:36 mriedem from InstanceInfo
20:08:58 efried mriedem Okay, I'll look into it.
20:12:03 efried esberglu Can you answer cfriesen_ above? You figured out that the return values somehow mapped to exit codes?
20:15:40 cfriesen_ efried: esberglu: it appears that the return code is being mapped to the process exit value. it must be doing something clever. In any case, I opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1695965 because the return code for "nova-manage db online_data_migrations" isn't very helpful.
20:15:40 openstack Launchpad bug 1695965 in OpenStack Compute (nova) ""nova-manage db online_data_migrations" exit code is strange" [Undecided,New]
20:16:37 efried cfriesen_ Cool, esberglu just made a change on a similar theme: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/467218/
20:16:56 efried cfriesen_ See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1692982
20:16:56 openstack Launchpad bug 1692982 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Need --strict option for nova-manage cell_v2 discover_hosts" [Wishlist,Fix released] - Assigned to Eric Berglund (esberglu)
20:18:09 cfriesen_ efried: right. In the case of online_data_migrations we really want to distinguish between three separate scenarios, which doesn't map nicely to binary exit values
20:18:22 efried cfriesen_ In your case, it's possible the answer might be, "code to the API, not the CLI" ;-)
20:18:31 efried But I wouldn't be the one to advocate that.
20:19:32 cfriesen_ efried: heh...one nasty case is that the newton version of this command returns this "2 rows matched query pcidevice_online_data_migration, 0 migrated" even when there is no work left to do.
20:19:44 cfriesen_ outputs that, rather
20:20:01 cfriesen_ because the query is too generic.
20:21:37 efried cfriesen_ FWIW, dansmith was the one in our corner on that --strict thing. He had very useful feedback when the idea came up.
20:24:37 cfriesen_ dansmith: when you get a moment could you look at bug 1692982 ?
20:24:37 openstack bug 1692982 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Need --strict option for nova-manage cell_v2 discover_hosts" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1692982 - Assigned to Eric Berglund (esberglu)
20:25:07 cfriesen_ dansmith: whoops, I meant bug 1695965
20:25:07 openstack bug 1695965 in OpenStack Compute (nova) ""nova-manage db online_data_migrations" exit code is strange" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1695965
20:25:47 esberglu efried: cfriesen_: Sorry was off for a few there. I think I dropped for some of the convo. You still need anything from me?
20:26:16 cfriesen_ esberglu: just wondering if you knew offhand how the return value of "nova-manage" gets converted to process exit value
20:26:17 dansmith cfriesen_: we had migrations in the past that raised an exception when something wasn't new enough, but you needed to proceed when in order to get to the newer stuff, hence the zero return in that case
20:26:37 dansmith thats why it was like that
20:26:43 dansmith but I don't disagree with nailing it down as you describe
20:27:22 cfriesen_ dansmith: also, in Newton you can't even tell from the output logs whether or not you need to call it again, because of the PCI issue I showed above
20:27:44 cfriesen_ dansmith: the "count_all" is counting cases where there is no migration to be done
20:28:11 esberglu efried: Not sure. I just took if granted based on other commands
20:47:41 cfriesen_ dansmith: related issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1695991
20:47:41 openstack Launchpad bug 1695991 in OpenStack Compute (nova) ""nova-manage db online_data_migrations" doesn't report matched/migrated properly " [Undecided,New]
20:54:04 mriedem dansmith: i think we've touched on this before, but since services are restricted to cell dbs, we don't have a global view of what a minimum compute version is in a deployment once we have multpile cells
20:54:06 mriedem thinking of https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/78c69f61ab186c3d3eb0fe5cc5114cc71f0fbdad/nova/objects/service.py#L425
20:54:36 dansmith mriedem: I have a helper
20:54:40 mriedem if we have an instance we can find the cell it's in and get the minimum compute for that cell, or get the service version for the compute the instance is on
20:55:59 cfriesen_ how is Service._check_minimum_version() going to work with cells then? check just the current cell?
20:56:16 mriedem well we could certainly iterate cells,
20:56:22 mriedem find the min for $service in all cells,
20:56:27 mriedem and return the lowest
20:56:42 dansmith mriedem: I'm sure I already wrote that helper.. looking
20:57:06 mriedem i randomly think about this because we don't really test for it in our grenade tests
20:57:12 mriedem since grenade is so limited in scope to smoke tests
20:57:59 mriedem e.g. https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/78c69f61ab186c3d3eb0fe5cc5114cc71f0fbdad/nova/api/openstack/compute/servers.py#L496-L499
20:58:06 mriedem ^ won't be accurate with multiple cells
20:58:24 mriedem i'll open a bug to track this
20:58:37 dansmith and unless we had multiple real cells we wouldn't hit it anyway
20:58:53 mriedem we had == in ci?
20:59:27 dansmith yeah
20:59:33 mriedem i thought we were going to have the/a multinode job have 2 cells with 1 compute each?
20:59:44 dansmith yeah but not one downlevel
20:59:49 dansmith not yet anyway
20:59:51 mriedem sure, but we could with grenade
20:59:52 mriedem eventually
20:59:55 dansmith eventually
21:00:07 mriedem but then we're stuck back with the grenade not running interesting tests issue
21:00:18 dansmith that helper doesn't appear to be in tree, but I know I wrote it.. might've been for a thing that we ended up not doing and so never committed it
21:00:44 dansmith don't we run smoke first and then full tempest post-upgrade?
21:00:49 mriedem nope
21:00:50 mriedem smoke both ways
21:00:55 sdague no, it's smoke on both sides
21:01:11 mriedem smoke'em if you got'em
21:01:54 dansmith okay
21:02:03 sdague honestly, for the multi node, multi cell version testing, we should probably purpose build something for that. Because it feels like we want to be pushing very specific edges on test cases
21:02:45 dansmith you mean a specific list of tests?
21:02:50 mriedem dansmith: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1695993
21:02:50 openstack Launchpad bug 1695993 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "supports_device_tagging check in /servers API won't work with multiple cells" [High,Triaged]
21:03:00 mriedem dansmith: i think he means not grenade
21:03:13 sdague yeh, maybe not grenade either
21:03:15 mriedem sdague: you're talking about the ansible idea from the PTG?
21:03:21 dansmith hmm
21:03:26 sdague mriedem: I'm not honestly sure
21:03:34 mriedem i remember you saying something like that once
21:03:40 mriedem when i was monkeying with d-g and cells v2 setup
21:04:01 sdague it just feels like we might be better off building something that builds out the mixed cell version environment from scratch
21:04:17 sdague instead of glomming too much onto the existing stuff
21:04:35 mriedem might have also been when talking about what rolling upgrades look like for cells v2
21:04:36 dansmith I'm not sure why
21:04:38 mriedem with doing api at the end
21:04:47 mriedem since devstack/grenade starts/upgrades API first?
21:04:55 mriedem it had something to do with the upgrade order for api
21:05:03 mriedem we have notes from the BCN summit
21:05:57 mriedem anyway, i'm not proposing we tackle testing mixed-level cells in ci right now
21:06:37 dansmith mriedem: I will keep looking for my multicell service lookup patch in a couple dead end branches, but if I don't find it I'll just write it.. it's not hard
21:06:56 mriedem sure - you want to take that bug?
21:07:02 mriedem or just going to provide the helper?
21:07:31 dansmith mriedem: lemme write the helper and I'll survey the other uses... might be easy for me to just fix them uses too
21:07:50 mriedem dansmith: here it is https://review.openstack.org/#/c/442787/1/nova/objects/service.py
