16:32:49 stephenfin efried: mriedem_afk: ^
16:33:10 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova stable/rocky: Add useful error log when _determine_version_cap raises DBNotAllowed https://review.opendev.org/679449
16:33:17 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: nova-net: Migrate 'test_attach_interfaces' functional tests https://review.opendev.org/684341
16:33:24 openstackgerrit Eric Fried proposed openstack/nova master: Remove workaround for bug #1709118 https://review.opendev.org/524316
16:33:24 openstack bug 1709118 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "_ContextAuthPlugin needs a refresh" [Low,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1709118
16:33:27 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: nova-net: Migrate 'test_simple_tenant_usage' functional tests https://review.opendev.org/684342
16:33:31 efried stephenfin: fixed pep ---^
16:33:34 openstackgerrit Merged openstack/nova master: trivial: Neutron fixture cleanup https://review.opendev.org/684343
16:34:08 efried mriedem_afk: easy ksa-ish fix: Remove workaround for bug #1709118 https://review.opendev.org/524316
16:36:17 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: im sure ill find an example quickly but we can trivaly rename config vaules while both deprecteint the old name and still supporting it right.
16:36:33 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: im pretty sure we have done that several times in the past
16:36:33 stephenfin sean-k-mooney: deprecated_name='old_name'
16:36:41 sean-k-mooney cool
16:37:12 efried stephenfin, mriedem_afk: Can/should we touch the admin guide as well? (SEV caveat)
16:37:40 sean-k-mooney im wondering if we should rename reserved_huge_pages to reserved_mem_pages give it can be used to reserve mempages of any size not just hugepages
16:37:54 stephenfin fine by me
16:38:18 efried stephenfin: yeah, there's already a section on "Impermanent Limitations"
16:38:46 efried https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/configuration/hypervisor-kvm.html#impermanent-limitations
16:38:52 sean-k-mooney stephenfin: efried did you see my comment on what actully would be broken in the reno patch
16:38:59 efried sean-k-mooney: yeah, he fixed that part
16:39:05 efried would like you to reviow
16:39:07 efried review
16:39:15 sean-k-mooney cool im finding it now
16:39:16 efried but also want to get the admin doc updated in the same patch.
16:39:24 efried sean-k-mooney: https://review.opendev.org/686414
16:40:08 sean-k-mooney thanks i just found it
16:40:49 eandersson dking_desktop, I'll let you know if I find anything
16:41:02 sean-k-mooney am the only comment i would make is ``hw_scsi_model=virtio-scsi`` and ``hw_disk_bus=scsi`` or
16:41:04 sean-k-mooney ``hw_cdrom_bus=scsi``
16:41:15 eandersson efried, you wouldn't happen to know if there has been any recent fixes to instances getting stuck in building / scheduling?
16:41:27 sean-k-mooney should be ``hw_scsi_model=virtio-scsi`` and (``hw_disk_bus=scsi`` or ``hw_cdrom_bus=scsi``)
16:41:32 efried eandersson: depends what you mean by recent, but there have been, yes, stand by...
16:41:38 eandersson :D
16:41:42 stephenfin sean-k-mooney: how about 'and either...'?
16:41:49 stephenfin X and either Y or Z
16:41:56 stephenfin I want to use English :D
16:41:56 sean-k-mooney sure i just want to make that clear
16:41:59 stephenfin yup, agreed
16:42:00 eandersson We are seeing frequent issues with instances stuck in building... with Rocky
16:42:13 sean-k-mooney e.g. hw_cdrom_bugs=scsi wont break it by itself
16:42:17 efried eandersson: oh, I thought it was merged: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/666857/
16:42:28 efried eandersson: does that ^ match your bug/symptom?
16:42:37 efried eandersson: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1833581
16:42:37 openstack Launchpad bug 1833581 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "instance stuck in BUILD state if nova-compute is restarted" [Low,In progress] - Assigned to Balazs Gibizer (balazs-gibizer)
16:42:42 eandersson Yea that sounds like it
16:43:06 eandersson Took you 30s :D
16:44:07 efried eandersson: you could hit the "affects me" button. Not sure if that sends gibi an email or not...
16:44:48 efried cdent: skimming the comments, it looks like maybe we were waiting for you to take a look at that fix --^
16:45:14 openstackgerrit Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova stable/train: docs: Highlight the current broken state of SEV https://review.opendev.org/686414
16:45:19 cdent hello, what? which?
16:45:55 efried cdent: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/666857/
16:46:13 efried I didn't look at why, just saw a comment from mriedem_afk to that effect
16:46:42 cdent k, thanks, reading
16:46:58 efried "Let's wait to get some more feedback from cdent on this for the vcenter case"
16:47:10 efried PS11 9/18
16:49:56 efried 0_0
16:50:35 mriedem https://data.whicdn.com/images/98587406/superthumb.jpg?t=1390970016
16:51:19 mriedem gonna get lunch and check back in a bit
16:51:51 cdent efried: left a +1
16:51:58 efried thanks cdent
16:55:29 eandersson That bug sure looks like the issue. The only thing that concerns me is that we saw this hours after compute restarts, but might just have been delayed reports.
17:06:24 efried eandersson: I was +2 at some point in the past on that fix, and mriedem was just waiting for cdent to ack (I think), so we should be able to merge it fairly soon I would think. Will have to wait until next week to start merging backports, though.
17:07:02 eandersson Sounds good - we do large rolling deployments of computes
17:07:38 eandersson takes forever
17:08:15 eandersson So knowing that it's safe to do so helps a lot. Otherwise we need to disable the apis
17:25:34 donnyd sean-k-mooney: Yea that makes sense to me
17:42:00 efried stephenfin: I really appreciate the cleanup of oldy moldy change sets, but would you mind leaving a one-line reason when you abandon please?
17:47:10 mriedem efried: i'm +2 on gibi's interrupted build fix now https://review.opendev.org/#/c/666857/
17:47:28 efried mriedem: cool, thanks, I'll get back to that in the next few minutes.
17:57:51 efried eandersson: How many instances are you seeing stuck, max?
17:58:07 efried just curious, because it seems like it would be pretty hard to have more than a small number.
17:58:50 eandersson 10+
17:59:29 mriedem ricolin: your fix looks fine but i want to check what tests could be updated to make sure that's not regressed again
17:59:40 eandersson We had a RabbitMQ outage that could have caused some of them as well.
17:59:58 mriedem eandersson: i know you also reported issues with rescheduling failures in conductor recently
18:00:00 efried eandersson: all from the same compute host?
18:00:07 mriedem and we don't put the instances into ERROR state in all cases there
18:00:09 eandersson different hosts
18:00:42 efried okay cool. Trying to assess the probability of the "slow startup" thing noted by cdent and gibi. Seems like it would be pretty low.
18:00:48 ricolin mriedem, thanks
18:01:34 eandersson I was trying to figure out what happened, but couldn't really find anything.
18:01:59 eandersson The VM was in placement, but instance info was not yet updated.
18:02:23 eandersson btw also a lot of VMs stuck in deleting
18:02:26 mriedem ricolin: tbc those jobs were going to fail anyway because of http://status.openstack.org/elastic-recheck/#1844929 but definitely need to get that unboundlocalerror fixed
18:02:31 eandersson but looks like a different issue
18:02:44 eandersson because when VMs are stuck deleting, restarting nova-compute works everytime.
18:03:47 mriedem because the restart code checks for those
18:04:10 eandersson Been unable to figure out why they got stuck in the first place.
18:04:36 eandersson They spiked the hours after a RabbitMQ cluster failed, but seen it before that as well.
18:04:39 mriedem something blow up between the time the api marks the instance as deleting and then rpc casts to the compute?
18:04:58 eandersson Not that I could find.
18:06:10 eandersson I see RabbitMQ connection errors hours, days before that
18:06:32 eandersson but I feel like it shouldn't be the cause, unless RabbitMQ connections just hang dead
18:06:38 eandersson Maybe due to something like https://github.com/openstack/oslo.messaging/commit/26fccea84371a3690a4d7fe970f8d6c5ba9c154b
18:07:50 eandersson I'll try to dig a bit deeper next time it happens.
18:09:03 efried eandersson, mriedem, gibi: +A that fix, but I think we're going to miss the boat on VirtDriverNotReady more frequently than anticipated in ironic cases.
18:12:41 openstackgerrit Rico Lin proposed openstack/nova master: [Gate fix] Avoid use cell_uuid before assignment https://review.opendev.org/686996
18:13:14 ricolin mriedem, just add bug link to https://review.opendev.org/#/c/686996/ .
18:14:26 mriedem ricolin: yeah i'm working on fixing the test that was masking the regression though
18:14:35 ricolin mriedem, feel free to update that patch to update the test/ whatever needed
