15:18:46 sean-k-mooney its other that do
15:19:57 sean-k-mooney fortunetlly DLS will not be a thing in europe after 2021
15:20:27 dansmith hopefully not on the west coast either, but it's not set yet
15:20:56 sean-k-mooney it was ment to happen this year but got delayed so this was ment to be the last switch
15:21:34 sean-k-mooney the current plan is contries adopting permenatn summer time will swap for the last time in the spring
15:21:51 sean-k-mooney and the rest will swap for the last time in the fall
15:32:15 gibi stephenfin, bauzas: spent some time thinking automating to catch bugs like https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1902925 . Besides code review (that fails some time like in this case) what we can do is to extend the grenade testing.
15:32:15 openstack Launchpad bug 1902925 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Upgrades to compute RPC API 5.12 are broken" [Critical,In progress] - Assigned to Sylvain Bauza (sylvain-bauza)
15:32:36 gibi As far as I understand it run livemigration between mixed computes
15:32:41 bauzas sean-k-mooney: I'm against summer time
15:33:01 bauzas gibi: you need then two compute services
15:33:09 gibi bauzas: we have multinode grenade
15:33:10 bauzas and a rolling upgrade scenario
15:33:33 bauzas because the rpc pins will automatically set the version to the oldest compute one
15:33:42 bauzas (if set to 'auto')
15:34:01 gibi I think nova-grenade-multinode does what we need
15:34:11 bauzas and again, tbh, I wonder whether it's just a code review usage
15:34:46 gibi as per https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/d25bc07d26212408211b64953af7ef6047ca3d9d/playbooks/legacy/nova-grenade-multinode/run.yaml#L47-L50
15:34:49 bauzas dansmith: your thoughts on it ? tl;dr: automatical uprade testing vs. asking for functional tests that would verify a RPC version minor bump
15:35:37 bauzas gibi: if we run two computes, then okay, we don't need them to be on separate nodes but the other services
15:35:43 bauzas ie. aio+compute
15:35:53 bauzas which is what grenade-multinode is doing AFAIR
15:35:58 bauzas so you're right
15:36:13 bauzas gibi: but then we need to test all the RPC calls in tempest
15:36:18 bauzas good luck with this
15:36:42 bauzas I just feel the simpliest is just to ask for functests
15:36:53 bauzas I wrote them yesterday night and it took me 20 mins
15:37:27 gibi bauzas: never said that we should not ask for a func test. I'm saying that we tend to forget about it as the current bug shows
15:37:28 dansmith yeah, so we could always pin the version to .0,
15:37:37 dansmith but coverage in tempest will be hard,
15:37:57 dansmith plus tempest needs to be graceful as some api calls will fail expectedly if the version doesn't support the new feature
15:38:00 bauzas technically, we need to set the pin to the previous release version
15:38:09 sean-k-mooney bauzas: same i want to stick on utc in my case
15:38:18 dansmith I'd prefer some test that ensures we've hit all the versions for each call in unit/func or something
15:38:40 bauzas dansmith: that's my thoughts
15:38:55 gibi dansmith: I thinked about that angle as that would be a good thing in my eys
15:38:57 bauzas checking it thru tempest is something I'd love, but I'm pragmativ
15:39:05 bauzas pragmatic
15:39:06 dansmith gibi: yeah
15:39:21 bauzas we honestly have the pattern to ask with my functest
15:39:28 bauzas it's just a simple request
15:39:39 bauzas and I guess (or I hope) none of the cores to miss this
15:39:52 gibi I have my doubt about my memory
15:40:01 sean-k-mooney testing rpc versions? trying to catch up on the converstation
15:40:03 gibi so I won't promise I will always remember
15:40:26 gibi sean-k-mooney: basically avoiding the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1902925
15:40:26 openstack Launchpad bug 1902925 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Upgrades to compute RPC API 5.12 are broken" [Critical,In progress] - Assigned to Sylvain Bauza (sylvain-bauza)
15:40:32 bauzas gibi: well, RPC and DB upgrades are possibly the hugest changes we could review, right?
15:40:40 gibi right
15:40:54 bauzas I could understand this for a simple method
15:41:21 bauzas but for all the manager services, the risk is present
15:41:37 bauzas but either way, the meeting is in 20 mins
15:41:45 bauzas probably the best is to discuss it there
15:41:49 sean-k-mooney that had functional test for what it was worth
15:41:59 bauzas sean-k-mooney: the cyborg patches ? nope
15:42:10 sean-k-mooney my orginial one did https://review.opendev.org/#/c/715326/
15:42:27 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/#/c/715326/29/nova/tests/functional/test_servers.py
15:43:07 dansmith gibi: details of db, rpc, and general upgrade issues in patches have always required lots of human review to get right.. in the early days when we went from not-upgradeable to where we are now.. we added lots of tests where we could, and developer traps like the required db migration tests,
15:43:20 dansmith gibi: but automating all the things is hard and the issues are complex
15:43:45 bauzas sean-k-mooney: you won't catch this error then
15:43:46 dansmith gibi: so I'm all for trying to catch more stuff, especially in a case like this where we just lacked such a test, but ... human review is not replaceable, obviously
15:43:58 bauzas sean-k-mooney: see my regression test, it does capture the bug https://review.opendev.org/#/c/761457/1/nova/tests/functional/regressions/test_bug_1902925.py
15:44:15 bauzas actually https://review.opendev.org/#/c/761457/3/nova/tests/functional/regressions/test_bug_1902925.py
15:45:21 bauzas stephenfin: I don't get your -1 https://review.opendev.org/#/c/761458/3/releasenotes/notes/bug_1902925-351f563340a1e9a5.yaml@11
15:45:36 bauzas stephenfin: the 'fixes' reno section is purposed to show the fixed bugs
15:45:51 bauzas so that's normal we won't show this note until we merge the patch
15:46:10 stephenfin I'm saying that the docs job won't pass until you do what gibi suggested
15:46:34 sean-k-mooney bauzas: becaue it need the version cap to trigger it
15:47:00 stephenfin you need to add a leading to underscore '.. bug 1902925:', i.e. '.. _bug 1902925:'
15:47:00 openstack bug 1902925 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Upgrades to compute RPC API 5.12 are broken" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1902925 - Assigned to Sylvain Bauza (sylvain-bauza)
15:47:01 bauzas stephenfin: ah that, no worries I'll fix it
15:48:05 gibi dansmith: I agree that we need human review. All I want is to aid that huma review _if possible_
15:48:18 dansmith gibi: for sure
15:49:11 sean-k-mooney ok i see what you have changed. hum ok
15:51:10 bauzas sean-k-mooney: I explained the issue in https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1902925/comments/3
15:51:10 openstack Launchpad bug 1902925 in OpenStack Compute (nova) "Upgrades to compute RPC API 5.12 are broken" [Critical,In progress] - Assigned to Sylvain Bauza (sylvain-bauza)
15:51:33 sean-k-mooney ya i just wanted to read the repoducer and code fix
15:52:21 sean-k-mooney i guess we have not extended this api since we did the 5.0 rpc bump
15:52:44 sean-k-mooney none of the other fileds are optional
15:53:07 tobias-urdin any good (and somewhat "supported" way) to extend the nova metadata API to include some custom paths? IIRC some ways of extending nova has been deprecated/removed over the years
15:53:23 sean-k-mooney yes
15:53:58 sean-k-mooney tobias-urdin: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/vendordata.html
15:54:34 sean-k-mooney that or i guess you coudl use middleware
15:54:51 sean-k-mooney but in general nova is not extensible in this way intentionally
15:55:07 noonedeadpunk sean-k-mooney: I think I might figued out why isolated aggregates got instances from time to time. any reason not to pass rebuilds through scheduler? https://opendev.org/openstack/nova/src/branch/master/nova/scheduler/manager.py#L146
15:55:26 sean-k-mooney noonedeadpunk: rebuilds cant change host
15:55:32 sean-k-mooney noonedeadpunk: they are not move operations
15:55:46 sean-k-mooney and they do go to the schduler if the image changes
15:55:49 noonedeadpunk uh.... I see
15:56:14 noonedeadpunk well, I continue get 1 instance per month or smth like that on the isolated aggregate
15:56:16 sean-k-mooney to validate that the current host is still ok with the new image
15:56:22 noonedeadpunk and have no clue how that might happen...
15:57:03 sean-k-mooney are you using the placment way fo doing it
15:57:08 sean-k-mooney or the filter
15:58:06 sean-k-mooney the placement way that should not happen as the traits request should block it but the filter reuires all tenanats to be mapped to an aggreate
15:58:17 sean-k-mooney or unmpped tenants can go to any host
15:58:57 openstackgerrit Sylvain Bauza proposed openstack/nova master: Fix the compute RPC 5.12 issue https://review.opendev.org/761458
15:59:10 bauzas dansmith: gibi: stephenfin: last round, hopefully
15:59:28 bauzas and then I'll backport the changes
15:59:54 gibi thanks
