| 13:33:53 | jaypipes | bhagyashris: availability zone is an attribute (metadata key/value pair) against a Nova host aggregate. All compute hosts in the host aggregate belong to the availability zone that the host aggregate is marked with. That said, the placement API does not have anything to do with the availability zone. The Nova host aggregate and the placement aggregate are different things. For example, a Nova host aggregate actually refers to the nova-compute | |
| 13:33:54 | jaypipes | service daemon, not the provider of resources. This is why, for example, Ironic baremetal nodes cannot individually be assigned to a Nova host aggregate. But Ironic baremetal nodes *can* be associated individually with a placement aggregate. | |
| 13:34:04 | jaypipes | bhagyashris: it's all ludicrously confusing, I know :( | |
| 13:35:02 | jaypipes | bhagyashris: perhaps you could describe what you're attempting to do so I can assist you in finding the answers you seek :) | |
| 13:43:25 | bhagyashris | jaypipes: actually my doubt was regarding the selection host aggregate in placement when i request to boot instance but host aggregates are not selected to create the instance at placement that is only used for the relationships between the providers | |
| 13:44:12 | efried | jaypipes I also would like to understand what an aggregate is (in placement context). Is this the best thing to read? https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/placement/#resource-provider-aggregates | |
| 13:44:45 | efried | (though ^ seems to assume a foreknowledge of what a "host aggregate" is... which I lack0 | |
| 13:44:47 | efried | ) | |
| 13:45:14 | mriedem | https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/aggregates.html | |
| 13:45:22 | mriedem | for host aggregates | |
| 13:46:40 | efried | Thanks | |
| 13:49:49 | jaypipes | efried: placement aggregates are groupings of resource providers, nothing more. Placement aggregates do not have traits associated with them. Placement aggregates are not "in an availability zone" or anything like that. Nova host aggregates are groupings of nova-compute service daemons (NOT the compute hosts that actually provide the resources). Nova host aggregates have metadata key/value pairs associated with them. Nova host aggregates are | |
| 13:49:50 | jaypipes | an entity in any of themselves, whereas placement aggregates are nothing more than a UUID that provides a grouping to resource providers. | |
| 13:49:58 | jaypipes | bhagyashris: ^ you too. :) | |
| 13:50:23 | efried | jaypipes What are placement aggregates useful/used for? | |
| 13:50:38 | jaypipes | efried: associating a resource provider to another. | |
| 13:50:43 | jaypipes | efried: that's it. nothing more. | |
| 13:50:59 | efried | Associating for programmatic or human consumption? | |
| 13:51:23 | jaypipes | efried: right now, mostly programmatic. | |
| 13:51:35 | jaypipes | efried: it's currently how we handle shared resources. | |
| 13:51:48 | efried | So placement aggregates can overlap. | |
| 13:52:00 | efried | I seem to recall asking this very question in Boston :) | |
| 13:52:04 | efried | And the answer was yes | |
| 13:52:06 | stephenfin | mriedem: Could you take another look at this this week? https://review.openstack.org/#/c/412356/ | |
| 13:52:16 | edleafe | efried: placement can't select based on nova host agg | |
| 13:52:19 | jaypipes | efried: in the future, I envision aggregates being associated to each other via a distance attribute. In other words, agg A and agg B are distance 1 apart. agg X and agg A are distance 4 apart, etc. | |
| 13:52:33 | edleafe | efried: that's done in the scheduler filters | |
| 13:52:35 | jaypipes | efried: this will provide us a way to model affinity and anti-affinity concerns in placement. | |
| 13:53:03 | jaypipes | efried: yep, aggregates (either placement or Nova host aggregate) can overlap. | |
| 13:53:44 | efried | jaypipes So it also makes sense that a nested resource provider will be implicitly aggregated with its parent. | |
| 13:54:23 | efried | ...and by extension, with its "siblings" and "cousins"... | |
| 13:55:14 | jaypipes | efried: yes. I was planning on making a constraint that only root provider UUIDs could be associated with an aggregate. | |
| 13:56:55 | mriedem | stephenfin: replied | |
| 13:57:02 | stephenfin | ta | |
| 13:57:04 | mriedem | stephenfin: if we're going to play fast and loose we should at least have a release note | |
| 13:58:51 | bhagyashris | jaypipes: Thanks for your inputs :) | |
| 13:59:02 | stephenfin | mriedem: 'upgrade' section? | |
| 13:59:26 | mriedem | stephenfin: yeah i suppose | |
| 14:03:20 | sean-k-mooney | efried: hehe that is more my email client enforcing it then i doing it intentionally but thanks in any case. | |
| 14:04:32 | openstackgerrit | Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: rbd: Remove unnecessary 'encode' calls https://review.openstack.org/412356 | |
| 14:04:49 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: I'd suggest using something like Evolution but don't - it's buggy af :( | |
| 14:06:00 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: currently im still using outlook because im too lazy to figure out how to get tunderbird to work with our exchange servers. but since you helped me to get inline respconces to text only mail working i think it does the job well enough | |
| 14:06:25 | stephenfin | mriedem: Done. The important bit is that this will only affect users running under Python 3 | |
| 14:07:04 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: Heh, I actually blogged that when I left Intel https://that.guru/blog/sane-outlook/ | |
| 14:07:13 | stephenfin | one of my very few posts. I should probably use that more | |
| 14:08:14 | sean-k-mooney | oh cool i should send that to sdake | |
| 14:09:06 | sean-k-mooney | sdake: you were asking how i got outlook to work with inline plain text before. stephens blog should help https://that.guru/blog/sane-outlook/ | |
| 14:10:21 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: speanking of blogs in need to set min up again ... | |
| 14:10:26 | bauzas | mriedem: could you please tell me again which series to review ? I now have a new laptop and I don't find it | |
| 14:10:30 | sdake | sean-k-mooney the problem is the line doesn't break in replies | |
| 14:10:52 | sdake | sean-k-mooney therefore one cnnot reply inline | |
| 14:11:01 | bauzas | mriedem: I mean, the bug series about the problems with allocations | |
| 14:11:08 | sdake | stephenfin does your solution fix thta? | |
| 14:11:19 | sdake | sean-k-mooney everyting I've read says its an outlook bug and microsoft doesn't care | |
| 14:11:38 | stephenfin | sdake: Afraid not, I'd to guess what 80 characters looked like | |
| 14:11:39 | sdake | it has to dowith the way word is integrated into outlook | |
| 14:11:55 | mriedem | bauzas: starts here https://review.openstack.org/#/c/499678/3 | |
| 14:12:00 | bauzas | mriedem: ta | |
| 14:12:03 | bauzas | CC'ing | |
| 14:12:10 | stephenfin | MS don't care for plain text. If you use outlook.com and try to switch to plain text, you suddenly can't paste links | |
| 14:12:16 | mriedem | bauzas: and https://review.openstack.org/#/c/498861/ | |
| 14:12:17 | sdake | stephenfin there is a bar on the left side of replies, - it has nothign to do with 80 chars however the bar can't be broken - if there are 4 layers of replies, there is no way to "put a new reply" in | |
| 14:12:35 | stephenfin | It formats them as HTML | |
| 14:12:44 | bauzas | mriedem: will reviewing them in the next hour | |
| 14:12:47 | bauzas | thanks | |
| 14:12:49 | sean-k-mooney | sdake: this is what it looks like when i reply http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-September/121804.html | |
| 14:13:14 | stephenfin | sdake: Ah, I remember that, though not what I did to resolve it | |
| 14:13:37 | sdake | i am on outlook 2016 | |
| 14:13:44 | sdake | 2016 is where is broke - it worked on 2013 and prior | |
| 14:13:53 | openstackgerrit | Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez proposed openstack/os-vif master: Add VersionedObjectPrintable mixin https://review.openstack.org/493082 | |
| 14:13:54 | bauzas | FWIW, I now have again an Entry button \o/ | |
| 14:14:04 | sdake | it even worked briefly for 2016 | |
| 14:14:08 | sdake | sean-k-mooney are ou using 2016 outlook? | |
| 14:14:26 | stephenfin | sdake: Maybe it's a feature, heh | |
| 14:14:27 | sean-k-mooney | sdake: no still on 2013 i am afraid | |
| 14:14:37 | stephenfin | For what it's worth, I ended up using Mutt for everything except openstack-dev in the end (ovs-dev, patchwork, dpdk-dev etc.) | |
| 14:14:39 | sdake | sean-k-mooney if you want a sane mail client don't upgrade | |
| 14:14:59 | sdake | i just use gmail for mailing lists - since i can actually reply | |
| 14:15:06 | openstackgerrit | Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez proposed openstack/os-vif master: Migration from ``ip`` commands to ``pyroute2`` https://review.openstack.org/484386 | |
| 14:15:27 | sean-k-mooney | sdake: if i do an os reinstall or upgrade ill just setup tunderbird. but since outlook is not currently broken im not going to change it | |
| 14:15:48 | stephenfin | Exchange is still an excellent protocol (at least from a usability perspective), but the lack of things like auto-wrap in Outlook makes it tough to work with | |
| 14:15:59 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: Good luck. That is also terrible, IMO | |
| 14:17:03 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: well i have been usingin it since i created my first email account at home so im used to it. it works for me. | |
| 14:18:04 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: Ah, then you're not too badly off. I thought it was ugly as sin and calendering with Gmail was seriously broken. Evolution would be excellent if it just weren't so damn buggy :( | |
| 14:20:25 | sean-k-mooney | im currently in a "its not broke so im not going to fix it" mode with my apps and workflow. eventully ill upgrading things when i have too. | |
| 14:22:21 | sean-k-mooney | its kindo fo like openstack. our dev cloud has been running on newton rc1 for almost a year. it is now finally beging to have issue so im going to go strait to stable pike once kolla-ansible make its release but while it was working no need to upgrade it | |
| 14:24:33 | openstackgerrit | Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Moving more utils to ServerResourceAllocationTestBase https://review.openstack.org/499539 | |
| 14:24:34 | openstackgerrit | Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Test resource allocation during soft delete https://review.openstack.org/495159 | |
| 14:24:34 | openstackgerrit | Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Refactor ServerMovingTests for non-move tests https://review.openstack.org/498596 | |
| 14:33:29 | sdake | stephenfin i used thunderbird for 10 years - your correct it is awful :) | |
| 14:34:05 | sdake | if i relaly feel like osme pain I use mac mail for responding to mailing lists and outlook for reading | |
| 14:34:24 | sdake | wish i could find a mail client that worked with exchange that was good | |
| 14:34:40 | sdake | there is this rockin mac client, however, it lacks exchange support...... | |
| 14:34:52 | sdake | in other words, its useless :) | |
| 14:36:37 | openstackgerrit | Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Remove compatibility code for flavors https://review.openstack.org/460377 | |
| 14:37:09 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: by the way, you mentioned before that we can associate multiple email accounts with a singel openstack account correct? do you have a link to how to do this. if not ill just google it | |
| 14:38:13 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: Sure. Sec | |
| 14:38:55 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: So I _think_ you do it from Launchpad. Go to https://launchpad.net/ and click your user in the top right | |
| 14:40:12 | stephenfin | That'll bring you to your profile. Emails are listed on the left. IIRC, this gets propagated to Gerrit | |
| 14:41:45 | dansmith | hope you guys don't mind me interrupting the email chat to talk about nova... | |
