13:58:22 bauzas surze
13:58:29 bauzas but that's a waaaay more complicated
13:58:34 efried baby steps
13:58:51 sean-k-mooney efried: babysteps that predate placement
13:58:59 sean-k-mooney we keep putting that off
13:59:36 sean-k-mooney it prevents all the races that placemetn will eventurally solve
14:00:20 sean-k-mooney if we do claim for instance in teh conductor via an rpc to the compute we nolonger race on any pci or numa resouce
14:00:31 mriedem meeting?
14:00:48 artom meating.
14:00:57 efried oh, craaap
14:01:25 alex_xu ok, that is my fault :)
14:11:38 mnaser i'm really curious if there's a possible case where nova-compute gets a request an complains abut InstanceActionNotFound_Remote
14:13:10 mnaser it means that the instane action was *not* created (or committed to db) when the rpc request was recieved ?
14:27:58 mriedem check the request id - the actions are keyed by request id so if the request id isn't the same for some reason it wouldn't be found
14:28:27 mriedem e.g. a periodic task in compute using an admin context with a generated request id hitting some method that expects an action to exist
14:46:52 bauzas efried: FWIW https://review.opendev.org/#/c/552924/
14:47:13 bauzas it needs a bit of caring ^
14:47:18 efried ah, nice bauzas, thanks.
14:52:04 bauzas mriedem: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/645520/35/doc/api_samples/servers/v2.74/server-create-req-with-only-host.json I thought we were no longer accepting to only provide a host field without also providing the node name ?
14:52:12 bauzas lemme look at the spec
14:52:39 openstackgerrit Matt Riedemann proposed openstack/nova master: Convert nova-next to a zuul v3 job https://review.opendev.org/670196
14:53:10 bauzas mriedem: hell, yeah, I already had that concern https://review.opendev.org/#/c/645458/18/specs/train/approved/add-host-and-hypervisor-hostname-flag-to-create-server.rst@125
14:54:16 mriedem bauzas: not sure what you're talking about
14:54:31 bauzas mriedem: asking a destination by only the 'host' field
14:55:07 mriedem so what? for non-ironic the host == hypervisor_hostname
14:55:12 mriedem so why require the user to specify both?
14:55:15 mriedem that's just shitty ux imo
14:55:37 bauzas mriedem: I'm all good with only providing the node name
14:55:54 bauzas what I'm concerned is by only asking for a service name
14:56:14 bauzas and depending on the virt driver, the service name can be different from the node name
14:56:26 mriedem only for ironic, right?
14:56:30 bauzas I don't recall which one specifically
14:57:22 mriedem if you're using kvm, requesting the server land on a particular host is the same as asking that it land on a given node since they are the same thing
14:57:41 mriedem if you're using ironic, you can ask that it land on a particular compute service host meaning it will use a particular ironic cluster, you don't care which node,
14:57:51 mriedem or you can ask for a node and we'll lookup the host
14:57:58 mriedem or you can ask for both if you know exactly where it goes
14:58:05 mriedem as you'd do today for ironic
14:58:09 mriedem with the forced stuff for the JsonFilter
14:58:12 mriedem query hint
14:59:16 sean-k-mooney bauzas: we still hit the schdler so if we just pass the service name the schduler could chose a host managed by that ironic compute service
14:59:52 sean-k-mooney and ya i know that the hyperviors hosts can move between teh compute service but its proably still makes sense
15:00:27 mriedem i really really don't want to encode/enforce some dumb "you have to specify both host and node because of ironic" thing in the api
15:00:31 bauzas I just feel we're regressing with https://review.opendev.org/#/c/645520/35/nova/scheduler/host_manager.py
15:00:42 mriedem how?
15:00:47 sean-k-mooney oh and mriedem already said that above :)
15:03:52 kenperkins can someone point me to where in the instance create codepath the password gets generated when not provided?
15:04:26 sean-k-mooney do we always generate one?
15:04:54 sean-k-mooney i assumed not
15:05:05 kenperkins if we don't where does it come from?
15:05:08 bauzas mriedem: actually, if we need to keep the same UX as it is now, nodename is optional
15:05:19 kenperkins maybe it's baked into the image? <thinking>
15:05:36 sean-k-mooney some images have it backed in yes
15:05:56 sean-k-mooney we may always generate one but i was not expecting us too
15:06:15 artom donnyd, so, just to be clear, http://project.fortnebula.com/ is your personal project with your personal hardware, and... you're the sole sysadmin for it?
15:07:10 donnyd yep
15:07:29 kenperkins sean-k-mooney https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/servers.py#L581 perhaps?
15:07:56 kenperkins then here i think https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/servers.py#L1206
15:08:09 artom donnyd, I'm worried about gate resources with a 1 person bottleneck :) For your sanity as much as cloud stability
15:08:33 donnyd artom: I am also the sole funder, maintainer, electrician, and cooling engineer
15:08:36 donnyd LOL
15:08:46 sean-k-mooney kenperkins: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#libvirt.inject_password
15:09:04 sean-k-mooney kenperkins: by defualt we do not inject admin password in the vm wit libvirt
15:09:11 artom donnyd, the bus factor is *really* high with you :)
15:09:21 kenperkins where is the default libvirt config in code? :D
15:09:37 donnyd Well openstack isn't very hard, so maintenance is pretty low
15:09:42 sean-k-mooney and its a libvirt specific option so other virt dirvres proably dont do this
15:10:09 sean-k-mooney donnyd: artom just be aware that we cant have any voting jobs without at least 2 providers
15:10:17 mriedem bauzas: hypervisor_hostname *is* optional in the new microversion
15:10:20 mriedem as is host
15:10:21 artom donnyd, I'll trust you on that one - my experience has been with devstack mostly, and maintenance is definitely *not* low
15:10:28 mriedem same as it is with the zone:host:node hack
15:10:35 mriedem you can specify zone:host only, or zone::node only
15:10:38 kenperkins @sean-k-mooney thx for the pointer re: libvirt config
15:10:48 mriedem the *only* difference is in how the scheduler processes it
15:10:51 bauzas mriedem: yeah, that's what I just said
15:11:05 artom sean-k-mooney, yeah, that's fine, just having a thing in experimental that we can run as-needed is a great 1st step
15:11:09 sean-k-mooney kenperkins: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/conf/libvirt.py#L139 it there but we should not change it
15:11:14 sean-k-mooney in code that is
15:11:17 bauzas force_hosts supports only host, and evacuate/livemigrate do support only host too
15:11:24 sean-k-mooney kenperkins: feel free to set it in you local config
15:11:52 mriedem bauzas: force_hosts is only *hosts* because we also have the force_nodes field
15:11:59 mriedem you can also just have force_nodes
15:12:02 mriedem b/c zone::node
15:12:26 bauzas yup, and https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/compute/api.py#L958 allows you to only check the HostMapping
15:12:34 mriedem i don't see what evacuate and live migrate really have to do with this, you can't force those anymore on the latest microversion
15:12:47 mriedem and node doesn't really matter for those since migrations aren't supported for ironic anyway
15:12:55 mriedem evacuate might be, but who knows if it actually works
15:13:06 kenperkins wait, that contradicts a little bit sean-k-mooney; that link says that `False`: Allow the injection of an admin password for instance only at ``create`` and
15:13:06 kenperkins ``rebuild`` process.
15:13:19 kenperkins which reads like one value is only create/rebuild, the other is at any time
15:13:41 bauzas mriedem: well, we use the same internal object than livemig/evac https://review.opendev.org/#/c/645520/35/nova/compute/api.py@1056
15:13:57 mriedem bauzas: yes i know
15:13:59 mriedem and cold migrate
15:14:00 donnyd artom: Just lmk if you need anything custom, or a space to play
15:14:21 mriedem and rebuild if we'd get https://review.opendev.org/#/c/650376/ in
15:14:22 donnyd just an FYI I can only offer ipv6 access publically
15:14:30 sean-k-mooney kenperkins: the docs say "False: Disallows the injection. Any via the REST API provided admin password will be silently ignored."
15:14:32 artom donnyd, flavors with 2 NUMA nodes. This implies nested virt.
15:14:50 donnyd I don't have a bunch of ipv4 address because they cost lots of the $$$
15:14:53 sean-k-mooney kenperkins: https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/conf/libvirt.py#L158-L159
