#openstack-nova - 2017-06-20
13:32:30 edleafe sfinucan: yeah, just one. No per-cell schedulers
13:32:43 sfinucan Gotcha. Thank you :)
13:32:53 edleafe np
13:33:22 dtantsur speaking of which, is there something like "nova cells 101" for absolute beginners?
13:33:47 sfinucan dtantsur: dansmith's talk from the ATL summit it excellent
13:34:00 edleafe sfinucan: remember that what I called the "current flow" isn't what has merged into master; it was the design agreed to before the recent changes
13:34:02 kashyap Yeah, was about to suggest that
13:34:05 dtantsur sfinucan: cool! I've found something from ATX right now
13:34:35 sfinucan edleafe: Yup, I haven't bothered including the "current flow" - just the new one
13:34:46 sfinucan and can -WIP it til code is merged
13:34:48 mriedem dtantsur: those are also linked here https://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/cells.html
13:34:57 edleafe sfinucan: ok cool
13:35:10 dtantsur sweet. thanks mriedem
13:35:15 boolman bhagyashris: the [placment] section is there, configured and all. ( if missing or incorrect the nova-compute wont start )
13:35:22 dansmith dtantsur: oh you probably have some control services in your cell0 and some computes in cell1, with the same id
13:35:26 dansmith dtantsur: you need mriedem
13:35:29 dansmith er
13:35:32 dtantsur dansmith: this is definitely the case
13:35:37 dtantsur or wait
13:35:39 dansmith dtantsur: you need mriedem's set which is converting that API to uuids
13:35:47 dtantsur what is cell1?
13:36:03 dansmith dtantsur: I just mean "the other cell that is not cell0, the real one"
13:36:15 dtantsur aha
13:36:29 dtantsur so, sorry, what do I need? is there some patch up?
13:36:49 mriedem dtantsur: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/nova+branch:master+topic:bp/service-hyper-uuid-in-api
13:37:00 mriedem is the wip for converting os-services and os-hypervisors APIs to use uuids
13:37:17 dansmith mriedem: the -2 on that is for microversion sequencing I assume?
13:37:22 mriedem dansmith: yes
13:37:25 mriedem those need to go together
13:37:30 mriedem well, they do'nt need to
13:37:32 mriedem but we said they would
13:37:49 dansmith oh I see the one behind it?
13:37:52 mriedem only thing left in os-hypervisors at the top is docs and paging
13:38:14 dtantsur does it mean that I'll have to stop referring to host names when adding them to aggregates? please pardon my ignorance, I'm not sure how it solves the problem in question
13:38:16 dansmith he needs services
13:38:39 dansmith dtantsur: oh are you getting that while querying for a service by hostname?
13:39:08 dtantsur dansmith: I'm doing $ openstack aggregate add host baremetal-hosts overcloud-controller-0.localdomain
13:39:20 dtantsur do add the ironic host to an aggregate
13:39:38 dansmith I see
13:39:40 dtantsur which may be not a perfect approach to a problem of hybrid bm-vm environment, but that's what we do now
13:39:42 dansmith let me look a bit
13:40:26 dansmith ohhh
13:40:42 dtantsur I don't like this "ohhh" :)
13:40:43 dansmith because you have multiple per host maybe
13:40:57 dansmith hang on, I have no coffee in my system. this is not good.
13:41:05 dtantsur multiple what? I definitely have only one nova-compute process per host..
13:41:09 boolman Hi guys, I'm having trouble with a new deployment.. I'm using juju to deploy ocata, so all the configuration is automated, and yes I have the [placement] section. and I seem to have issues with my compute-nodes/placement API, http://ix.io/xHP http://ix.io/xHO
13:41:19 dtantsur dansmith: sure, lack of coffee is an urgent priority bug :)
13:42:25 dansmith dtantsur: hmm, no this should work.. are you running control services on the same node as a compute?
13:42:33 dtantsur dansmith: I am
13:42:40 dansmith dtantsur: with different config files I assume?
13:42:54 dtantsur dansmith: I don't think so actually
13:43:12 dansmith dtantsur: if not then they wouldn't be in different cells...
13:43:32 dtantsur are cells assigned via nova.conf?
13:43:50 dansmith no, but which cell you check into is determined by which database url you have configured
13:44:32 dtantsur hmm, ok. these hosts may indeed end up in a wrong cell.. however, it does not quite explain to me why we have duplicate hosts exception
13:44:50 dansmith well,
13:44:51 dansmith if they
13:44:53 dansmith are in different cells,
13:45:28 dansmith and they both report the same hostname, then there are multiple services with the same hostname but in different cells
13:46:09 dtantsur they = who? for now it seems that I have nova-api, scheduler and ironic's computes in one cell, then real compute in another
13:46:18 dansmith right
13:46:30 dansmith they = any service (n-api, n-cpu, etc)
13:46:49 dansmith since they have the same hostname as what n-cpu is reporting,
13:47:13 dansmith we could look that service up to find the cell, but end up getting the wrong one
13:47:22 dansmith which is why we now check for dupes and fail if the result is ambiguous
13:47:41 dansmith dtantsur: can we check to see if they are using the same config and thus reporting into the same cell for the moment?
13:49:02 dtantsur dansmith: I have only one nova.conf (provided by puppet, I guess), so I think that's the case
13:49:11 dtantsur I still don't quite understand why the result is ambiguos
13:49:20 dansmith actually, that query should be looking specifically for a nova-compute service, which shouldn't be duplicated if you only have one compute
13:49:26 dansmith dtantsur: that's what we're trying to find out
13:49:30 dtantsur right
13:49:43 dansmith dtantsur: can you dump the services table for your cell0 and other cell databases for me?
13:49:55 dtantsur lemme try
13:51:07 dtantsur dansmith: there are 3 databases, I guess I need one that is "nova", not "nova_api" or "nova_placement". right?
13:52:43 alex_xu edleafe: not sure what I should do for required traits
13:53:01 dansmith dtantsur: you should have nova and nova_cell0
13:54:02 dtantsur ok, lemme see
14:01:00 dtantsur dansmith: ok, cell0 is empty. lemme fetch another one for you
14:02:33 dansmith cell0.services you mean right?
14:02:50 dansmith that's what I would expect if you're all pointing at the other cell
14:02:54 dansmith but I'm not sure how we're hitting that not unique error then
14:02:58 dansmith oh,
14:03:04 edleafe alex_xu: I would mimic what was done for custom resources, but using the 'traits:' prefix. Not too sure how to distinguish required vs. preferred
14:03:05 dansmith unless you have two cell records for the same cell?
14:03:26 dansmith dtantsur: also in nova_api, dump out the cell_mapping table please
14:03:39 dtantsur sure, gimme a second
14:03:56 dtantsur I need to figure out how to escape column names in mysql (binary is a reserved word, apparently)
14:04:16 alex_xu edleafe: but really want to understand the reason why we continue put something in the extra spec first
14:04:21 dansmith dtantsur: heh
14:04:51 dansmith dtantsur: I think if you use the full path it'll work, i.e.: SELECT services.binary FROM services
14:05:47 dtantsur dansmith: thnx! ok, so here are services: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/ZK~YdTqfsWnpIImEF6TxLQ
14:06:00 openstackgerrit Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: docs: Document the scheduler workflow https://review.openstack.org/475810
14:06:43 sfinucan edleafe, jaypipes: ^ probably not suitable for merge yet, but there you go
14:06:58 jaypipes sfinucan: hey, cool, thanks for working on that
14:07:59 dtantsur dansmith: cell_mappings has 2 cells
14:08:23 dansmith dtantsur: do they both point to the same database_connection ?
14:08:59 dtantsur dansmith: nope
14:09:19 dansmith well, then I'm not sure how you're getting that exception
14:09:41 openstackgerrit Maciej Kucia proposed openstack/nova master: [doc] Updated sqlalchemy URL in migrate readme https://review.openstack.org/472549
