| 17:17:21 | jaypipes | mriedem: I will | |
| 17:17:35 | jaypipes | mriedem: can one be too uncool for school? | |
| 17:17:43 | jaypipes | mriedem: cuz I would be that. | |
| 17:18:13 | mriedem | that question is too philosophical for me to think about right now | |
| 17:18:43 | mriedem | dansmith: i'm sure you'd like to propose a "nova at the edge?!" forum session | |
| 17:18:50 | mriedem | you could even dress up like the edge | |
| 17:18:53 | dansmith | mriedem: I'm sure you're wrong | |
| 17:19:21 | mriedem | what if, we do a reenactment of the movie 'the edge' from the 90s though? | |
| 17:19:28 | mriedem | i'll be alec baldwin | |
| 17:19:53 | dansmith | :| | |
| 17:20:04 | mriedem | we need an anthony hopkins and a bear | |
| 17:20:24 | mriedem | bauzas: ... | |
| 17:20:43 | dansmith | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn8-4tjPxD8 | |
| 17:20:55 | bauzas | hum, I can wait for shaving | |
| 17:21:04 | mriedem | https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3s9vt2 | |
| 17:21:12 | dansmith | keep thinking I need to be working that in .. the U2 edge thing is already played | |
| 17:21:34 | mriedem | if we're going to talk about stevie nicks i can't let the fajita roundup go unnoticed | |
| 17:26:42 | aspiers | kashyap (or anyone): need advice on how to reuse some code from libvirt.driver._get_machine_type() inside libvirt.host | |
| 17:27:13 | kashyap | aspiers: Afraid, I'm totally spent for the day :-( And about to go for some air and food | |
| 17:27:24 | aspiers | kashyap: OK maybe someone else can help | |
| 17:27:40 | kashyap | If it's on a particular review, think out loud. I'll see tomm. | |
| 17:27:52 | aspiers | no, it's on how to write my code | |
| 17:28:17 | aspiers | I want to reuse these two lines https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py#L4262 | |
| 17:28:32 | aspiers | but from Host class, which doesn't have access to the driver AFAICS | |
| 17:28:48 | aspiers | maybe there's a utils class or something | |
| 17:28:57 | aspiers | oh look at that, there is :) | |
| 17:29:21 | aspiers | ah no, because it needs access to _machine_type_mappings() also | |
| 17:29:40 | aspiers | hrm, maybe that can also be moved to utils | |
| 17:29:42 | aspiers | I'll try that | |
| 17:36:57 | openstackgerrit | Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Allow utime call to fail on qcow2 image base file https://review.openstack.org/641315 | |
| 17:41:37 | sean-k-mooney | mriedem: just reading you reminder tread. regarding melwitt's change to add the user_id to the instance mappings in the api db i assume we shoudl add a nova-status check for that right? | |
| 17:42:18 | sean-k-mooney | mriedem: we said we would add a blocker migration but this is the kindof thing nova-status should be checking before an op does an upgrade correct? | |
| 17:42:29 | dansmith | sean-k-mooney: for train you mean right? | |
| 17:42:33 | sean-k-mooney | ya | |
| 17:44:02 | sean-k-mooney | we wanted to make the colume non nullable after train so on an upgrade to U we should have a nova-status check to make sure you have run the data migration to populate the colume so that the schame migration can work | |
| 17:44:31 | sean-k-mooney | no one memtioned nova-status the other day so i just tought i would bring it up | |
| 17:45:00 | dansmith | I did in IRC actually, but .. we need to land that in train nova-status, not right now | |
| 17:45:26 | sean-k-mooney | oh ok i missed that then. cool | |
| 17:46:06 | dansmith | adding it in stein would tell them they need to do something they can't do until they deploy stein code | |
| 17:46:45 | sean-k-mooney | right because we are only adding the column in stien | |
| 17:49:10 | jaypipes | dansmith, mriedem: bottom 3 +W. still plowing through the nova-manage migration in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/633351... | |
| 17:51:17 | openstackgerrit | Matthew Booth proposed openstack/nova master: Allow utime call to fail on qcow2 image base file https://review.openstack.org/641315 | |
| 17:51:42 | mriedem | jaypipes: don't make me get you a mr plow jacket | |
| 17:51:46 | mriedem | so you can strut around | |
| 17:52:07 | mriedem | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhW3OyifFBE | |
| 17:54:24 | dansmith | mriedem: how would you communicate with the other members of the tribe if you didn't have the simpsons and every snippet documented on youtube? | |
| 17:54:34 | mriedem | grunts | |
| 17:54:43 | mriedem | flute sounds | |
| 17:55:05 | jaypipes | heh | |
| 17:55:44 | mriedem | jaypipes: so i think i'll abstain from proposing a unified limits session, it's out of my ability to lead that | |
| 17:57:28 | jaypipes | mriedem: I can participate in such a session. | |
| 17:58:04 | mriedem | i'm going to go participate in a bowl of chili | |
| 17:58:45 | jaypipes | :) | |
| 17:59:04 | cdent | a forum session with a chili bakeoff would be pretty cool | |

| 18:03:59 | jaypipes | mriedem_afk, dansmith: please see my question on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/633351/. it's the only part of that migration I don't get... | |
| 18:06:06 | dansmith | jaypipes: replied | |
| 18:08:34 | jaypipes | dansmith: thx | |

| 18:41:54 | mnaser | i'm dealing with a sorts of 'usability' issue. booting a cinder volume from a glance image (where the image is stored on local disk) | |
| 18:42:08 | mnaser | cinder eventually creates the image, but it takes around 15 minutes because it has to download+upload | |
| 18:42:35 | mnaser | nova times out waiting for the volume, even though it's in `downloading` state | |
| 18:42:39 | smcginnis | mnaser: Do you have image cache enabled? | |
| 18:42:50 | smcginnis | That will help after the first one at least. | |
| 18:43:01 | mnaser | smcginnis: interesting, i don't think image cache is enabled for this deployment, but yes, that's a good idea | |
| 18:43:19 | smcginnis | Creating the boot volume via Nova timing out is a known issue of sorts. | |
| 18:43:27 | smcginnis | You need to tweak the timeouts if you do it that way. | |
| 18:43:36 | mnaser | the type of user is one who refuses to create a volume and wait for it to then attach it is the one i'm dealing with :) | |
| 18:43:39 | smcginnis | Really recommended to create the volume first, then boot from it. | |
| 18:43:51 | mnaser | "it should just work <insert a ton of exclamation marks>" | |
| 18:44:16 | mriedem | mnaser: sure, just tell them to pre-cache their images :) | |
| 18:44:19 | smcginnis | I've actually been meaning to see how difficult it would be to just update horizon to look like it's the one path, but do the two separate steps under the covers to make it less likely to time out. | |
| 18:44:55 | mnaser | i'm just trying to see if we can have a better way in terms of usability, if cinder is reporting that its' still 'downloading' really | |
| 18:45:15 | mnaser | also, another fun thing is that it seems like it doesn't properly clean up as it tries to request a delete on a volume that's in downloading process | |
| 18:45:26 | mriedem | mnaser: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#DEFAULT.block_device_allocate_retries and https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#DEFAULT.block_device_allocate_retries_interval are the related nova-compute options | |
| 18:45:27 | mnaser | so seems like volumes end in error downloading state or something along those lines, but i haven't dug that far yet | |
| 18:45:56 | mriedem | it's this code https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/compute/manager.py#L1308 | |
| 18:46:06 | smcginnis | Hmm, error downloading sounds like a bigger issue to address first. | |
| 18:46:43 | mnaser | i just want to avoid changing the timeout to '15 minutes' because they will bring bigger images and then ask me to bump the timeout to '30 minutes' lols | |
| 18:46:51 | mnaser | smcginnis: yeah, let me see if i have tracebacks for that too | |
| 18:47:06 | mriedem | mnaser: this is the code that does the waiting and cleanup https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/block_device.py#L689 | |
| 18:47:17 | mriedem | nova won't delete the volume if delete_on_termination is False | |
| 18:47:20 | mriedem | which it is by default i think | |
| 18:51:21 | mnaser | i guess the cleanest way is image cache *but* that does involve booting it once still | |
| 18:51:38 | mnaser | we didn't have this issue when using cinder backend for glance | |
| 18:51:57 | mnaser | but then we have the issue with glance buffering a whole image to disk and then pushing to array | |
| 18:52:25 | smcginnis | I think I've been told if you use ceph it helps a lot. | |
| 18:52:36 | mnaser | yes we're hoping to kill off their dell ps array | |
| 18:52:44 | mnaser | ceph is wonderful for all of this | |
| 18:52:55 | smcginnis | That might be good anyway. PS is no longer going to be supported. | |
| 18:53:11 | mnaser | good, then we can force them to get off | |
| 18:53:12 | mnaser | :-P | |
| 18:53:23 | smcginnis | ;) | |
