| 08:35:06 | kashyap | xiaolin: Hi | |
| 08:35:59 | kashyap | xiaolin: I don't think anyone ever tested Nova with MIPS arch, nor is it officially supported. I'm surprised you've got this far. For the UEFI bits - need to dig more | |
| 08:36:12 | kashyap | xiaolin: Does your patch to libvirt/driver.py fix it? Are you able to boot an instance? | |
| 08:41:36 | xiaolin | kashyap: Yes, it fixed, I can boot an instance. | |
| 08:49:09 | gibi | xiaolin: please file bug an publish the patch connected to that bug if possible | |
| 08:49:35 | xiaolin | Many people around me use hosts with MIPS architecture. I hope the official can add support for MIPS and We can maintain it. Is there a plan? | |
| 08:51:06 | kashyap | xiaolin: Yeah, please do file a bug | |
| 08:53:04 | CeeMac | melwitt: So i did some experimenting with the nova os-simple-tenant-usage api and this pulls back pretty much the exact same usage information as horizon project usage | |
| 08:53:39 | CeeMac | so, sadly, it looks like regardless of if an instance is shelved or not, it still consumes resources :( | |
| 08:53:57 | kashyap | xiaolin: Hmm, for MIPS, the issue is maintainers that will stick around and address the issues :-) | |
| 08:54:12 | kashyap | xiaolin: It's easy to "add initial support" (and let it rot) :-( | |
| 08:54:39 | kashyap | xiaolin: But go ahead and file a bug as gibi suggests, and attach your patch as a comment | |
| 08:57:42 | CeeMac | melwitt: I also don't see any image/snapshot for the shelved instance, should that be visible? | |
| 08:58:02 | CeeMac | s/shelved/shelved_offloaded | |
| 09:00:32 | xiaolin | gibi: kashyap: Thanks for the help. We will stick, as our company produce machines with MIPS architecture, and we believe our company will not go bankrupt :-) | |
| 09:03:15 | aarents | gibi Thanks for this bug confirmation https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1881881 | |
| 09:03:15 | openstack | Launchpad bug 1881881 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "nova api return HTTP 500 error when interface attach failed due to lack of instance PCI slots" [Undecided,New] | |
| 09:03:52 | aarents | gibi So according the thread you're reffering, we can extend the number of pluggable interface by adding pci-bridge, is nova able to do it now? or should we implement something like hw:pci-bridge=2 in order to ask libvirt to add 2 pci-brigde when defining instance. | |
| 09:05:14 | kashyap | xiaolin: :-) Would also be nice to start a discussion on 'openstack-discuss' list -- do you mind starting a thread? | |
| 09:05:38 | kashyap | xiaolin: Put a subject like "[nova][libvirt] Support for MIPS architecture?" or something like that | |
| 09:13:42 | xiaolin | kashyap: It would be nice, but I don`t know how to start a discussion temporarily | |
| 09:13:57 | kashyap | xiaolin: I'm on a call; but it's a mailing list | |
| 09:14:11 | kashyap | I'll link you shortly, unless someone beats me to it | |
| 09:25:52 | frickler | xiaolin: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-discuss , just send a mail with the subject above. you may want to subscribe before to avoid your mail being held in moderation | |
| 09:26:21 | gibi | aarents: I don't think nova can add pci-bridges today. If the limit can be avoided by the q35 machine type then I would take that direction instead | |
| 09:28:32 | bauzas | I do agree with gibi | |
| 09:28:39 | bauzas | the 'pc' machine type is old | |
| 09:28:47 | bauzas | very old, even | |
| 09:28:56 | bauzas | and we shouldn't modify nova because of it | |
| 09:33:23 | xiaolin | frickler: Thanks, I got it :-) | |
| 09:38:37 | aarents | bauzas: gibi oh by simply switch from pc to q35 increase slot availiable? I was thinking we need to 'declare' add some pci-bridge device into root-brigde before have benefit of mode slots, maybe libvirt do it magicly will do some test | |
| 09:39:00 | bauzas | aarents: try with this machine type | |
| 09:39:10 | aarents | yep | |
| 09:55:02 | slaweq | gibi: hi | |
| 09:56:18 | gibi | slaweq: hi! | |
| 09:56:18 | slaweq | gibi: do You want to meet today in Nova or Neutron's room? | |
| 09:56:18 | gibi | slaweq: let's use the nova room. some of the folks had problem with jitsi so we are using zoom | |
| 09:56:18 | slaweq | gibi: works for me | |
| 09:56:18 | slaweq | ok | |
| 09:56:19 | gibi | cool, thanks | |
| 10:23:44 | kashyap | frickler: Thanks! :) | |
| 10:25:10 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: Look what I just found https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/virt/libvirt/host.py#L1104-L1105 | |
| 10:25:31 | stephenfin | https://stackoverflow.com/a/10429736 | |
| 10:25:37 | stephenfin | \o/ | |
| 11:42:33 | sean-k-mooney | wait what does that even do | |
| 11:43:14 | sean-k-mooney | do we return 0 on kernel 4.x and 5.x? | |
| 11:44:11 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: i assume we are just going to nuke that code from orbit and pretend it was never there | |
| 11:46:39 | sean-k-mooney | oh its based on the linux kernel version used to build the python package | |
| 11:46:58 | sean-k-mooney | that even worse | |
| 11:48:34 | gibi | bauzas: left feedback on https://review.opendev.org/#/c/733703 | |
| 11:52:25 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: i guess we technically could do sys.platform.startswith('linux') but since we only support linux for the libvirt dirver we should just remove that code. good find | |
| 12:26:40 | bauzas | gibi: ack, thanks | |
| 12:26:51 | gibi | thanks for starting the spec | |
| 12:33:19 | gibi | nova PTG will continue in less than 30 minutes in the Juno Zoom room with neutron-nova cross project session first and the with cyborg topics | |
| 12:58:17 | openstackgerrit | Stephen Finucane proposed openstack/nova master: Correct reported system memory https://review.opendev.org/733827 | |
| 14:14:14 | bauzas | man, a cross-project session on a Friday late afternoon and discussing about placement workflows, what did I made wrong to have such punishment ? :) | |
| 14:24:07 | dansmith | heh | |
| 14:27:16 | gibi | bauzas: I'm sorry. I owe you a free beer next time we have a face to face PTG | |
| 14:27:40 | bauzas | nah, I have a beer machine at home, I can fix this issue | |
| 14:27:59 | gibi | then we should have the next PTG at your place :D | |
| 14:28:43 | gibi | and then free beer for everybody | |
| 14:29:30 | dansmith | bauzas: I was going to ask if your wife realizes that you're broadcasting her jamming out on her earphones to the world.. | |
| 14:29:54 | bauzas | you did hear her ? | |
| 14:29:59 | bauzas | well, it's encrypted | |
| 14:30:08 | dansmith | no, but we see her | |
| 14:30:11 | bauzas | we call this specific encryption 'French' | |
| 14:30:16 | dansmith | hah | |
| 14:30:24 | bauzas | this way, we're sure nobody can understand us | |
| 14:30:26 | gibi | :) | |
| 14:31:09 | dansmith | hmm, that was some encryption we just heard | |
| 14:31:39 | dansmith | my ciphertext analysis leads to a general message of "No, get out of here, I'm on a call!" | |
| 14:33:15 | bauzas | LOL, yeah, our door doesn't lock unfortunately | |
| 15:21:17 | sean-k-mooney | also sorry to monoplise the cross project so much | |
| 15:21:39 | johnthetubaguy | sorry I missed you all for today, I was in keystone land, and got stuck there | |
| 15:22:01 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: thank you for providing input for all these discussions. | |
| 15:22:28 | sean-k-mooney | my brain is slightly hurting after it all | |
| 15:23:35 | gibi | johnthetubaguy: no worries I think we had proper nova representation on the session | |
| 15:23:51 | TheJulia | random question, are there any thoughts regarding letting a compute driver throttling such that we don't have timeout failures ? Thinking once in a blue moon someone trying to create a 1000 physical machine deployments in ironic and they just want to batch them all up at once. | |
| 15:23:56 | johnthetubaguy | gibi: all good :) | |
| 15:24:58 | sean-k-mooney | TheJulia: there is a config option you can set that kind of does that | |
| 15:25:08 | sean-k-mooney | TheJulia: not sure if it works with ironic | |
| 15:25:11 | TheJulia | oh? | |
| 15:25:27 | sean-k-mooney | https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#DEFAULT.max_concurrent_builds | |
| 15:25:35 | sean-k-mooney | max concurent builds | |
| 15:25:43 | sean-k-mooney | its a compute agent config | |
| 15:26:08 | johnthetubaguy | until recent releases, the scheduler used to fall over first though, in theory better now, but hope to be testing that more soon | |
| 15:26:10 | sean-k-mooney | so you could set that per ironic conpute service | |
| 15:26:28 | sean-k-mooney | johnthetubaguy: multi create still sucks | |
| 15:26:42 | sean-k-mooney | johnthetubaguy: it has less races with plamcnet | |
| 15:27:00 | sean-k-mooney | but unless we change how retires work anti affingity server groups break things | |
| 15:27:14 | TheJulia | sean-k-mooney: I feel like it works, but I'm wondering if someone has that set to like 100... | |
| 15:27:19 | TheJulia | I guess I need more information | |
| 15:28:15 | sean-k-mooney | TheJulia: in the ironic case there is going to be one hell of a power spike too | |
| 15:28:29 | sean-k-mooney | 1000 servers booting at once | |
| 15:29:28 | TheJulia | sean-k-mooney: some people have the power for this | |
| 15:33:36 | sean-k-mooney | TheJulia: yep but i once rebooted half the server on a rack and triped its local breaker | |
| 15:33:43 | sean-k-mooney | that was fun... | |
| 15:33:55 | TheJulia | yeaaaah | |
| 15:34:05 | TheJulia | Been there, I really overengineered power for every rack I built | |
| 15:34:52 | sean-k-mooney | that was when we discover the electian that install it connected it to the wrong ups and it was signifcaly more over subsribed then the lab team tought | |
