#openstack-nova - 2019-05-31
22:23:10 mnaser efried: I realize this is probably not much of your thing but I noticed some commits to openstack-ansible with the PowerVM driver around 1.5 years ago by IBM-ers .. is there someone I can talk to about the usage of it (if any left..?)
22:23:44 efried mnaser: Who were the IBMers?
22:24:24 efried mnaser: The PowerVM driver is still changing hands. Evidence is that the new maintainers are still... very new and ramping up. But they are ramping up.
22:24:52 efried If you're asking about the actual PowerVM driver, I can probably help you. (I know nothing about ansible, though)
22:25:00 mnaser efried: I see https://review.opendev.org/#/c/518980/ and https://review.opendev.org/#/c/455350/ and https://review.opendev.org/#/c/450298/ as small things here and there
22:25:23 mnaser well, OSA apparently supports deploying it.. but it has absolutely zero testing, so I'm a bit curious if we're just maintaining something that no one is using or if there's usage behind it
22:25:36 mnaser and 'maintain' is a strong word because more like have no idea if any of it works :)
22:26:06 efried interesting question.
22:26:24 efried So yeah, Adam and Eric are long gone at this point.
22:27:04 efried And as of today, I know for sure the OOT driver is broken, because of this patch to fix it: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/662393/
22:27:39 efried does osa "support" the in-tree or out-of-tree driver?
22:28:35 mnaser efried: looking at the code, we install nova-powervm and set the compute driver to 'powervm.driver.PowerVMDriver'
22:28:59 efried wow
22:29:13 efried mnaser: at what openstack version?
22:30:01 mnaser efried: nova-powervm is installed without constraints so I guess it'll always pull in latest
22:30:30 mnaser and this code has been around for a while, still in master
22:30:31 efried cause I'm pretty sure you can't use the oot driver at that path
22:30:46 mnaser yeah, googling around apparently it should be powervm_ext
22:30:49 efried To use oot, you would have to say powervm_ext.driver.PowerVMDriver; and to use
22:30:49 efried yes
22:30:59 efried so here's my best guess
22:31:16 mnaser so it is functionally broken since $release_that_added_ext
22:31:34 efried yeah, that was like 2015 or 16
22:31:45 efried I'm guessing we put this stuff together to force some distro (like RHEL) to include nova-powervm in packaging, knowing it would never work as is
22:32:06 efried so that we could install PowerVC (management GUI) into that distro
22:32:14 efried PowerVC would fix up all the stuff
22:33:11 efried anyway, if you wanted to rip all that stuff out, I think you would be justified in proposing that patch, but it would be nice to poke the ML first.
22:33:45 mnaser I think ill push a patch and poke the ML because if no one proposes fixing it then it sitting around doesn't help
22:41:52 efried agreed
22:46:52 mnaser efried: http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-May/006797.html fyi :)
22:47:01 efried ack

06:41:03 mandre hi folks, what would be the recommended way to provide a relatively big file (hundreds of kb) to an instance at boot time?
06:42:06 mandre the --file option to openstack server create looks promising but it seems I'm hitting the size limit...

09:03:38 kashyap aspiers: --^ :-)
09:03:45 kashyap (Morning, BTW)
09:04:31 kashyap cdent: Thanks for putting the above through.
09:04:41 cdent pleasure
09:05:15 kashyap cdent: Now, I think aspiers needs a new release of 'os_traits' with the above patch.
09:05:23 cdent yeah, doing that now
09:05:46 kashyap Ah, you're already 3 steps ahead; thanks!
09:28:24 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova stable/rocky: Block swap volume on volumes with >1 rw attachment https://review.opendev.org/662333
09:44:17 kashyap alex_xu: Hi, when you're about: hope I answered your question here, on the MDS doc: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/661574/3
10:10:24 aspiers bah, my znc crashed, no idea why
10:10:51 aspiers cdent: thanks for taking care of 0.13.0!
10:11:45 cdent you're welcome
10:12:39 aspiers cdent, kashyap: I guess we should have been using reno in os-traits, or is the policy not to bother?
10:13:10 cdent we've not bothered for the addition of traits
10:13:27 kashyap aspiers: I welcome using 'reno' where possible.
10:13:35 aspiers cdent: any particular reason why not?
10:13:49 aspiers might be useful for distro packages at least
10:13:50 cdent because it would be duplicating the contents of the files, almost verbatim
10:14:06 aspiers well, the contents of the commit messages maybe
10:14:09 cdent if there were something other than a list of strings in the package, it would make sense
10:14:24 aspiers no great loss I guess
10:14:39 aspiers although it doesn't sound like much additional effort either
10:14:46 cdent the reason we encourage the comments linking to docs is so that the point of the trait is obvious, with the trait
10:15:05 cdent I'd really rather not add that much redundancy
10:15:23 aspiers I'm thinking from the distro packager and operator perspective, not for developers
