08:04:33 opendevmeet The meeting name has been set to 'nova_extra'
08:04:44 bauzas good moning folks, I have forgotten to open it :)
08:04:53 bauzas sorry for having it delayed
08:05:05 bauzas I don't have agenda for this meeting
08:05:20 bauzas it's more something like "if you want to discuss with us, let us know"
08:05:34 bauzas do we have Asian contributors here ?
08:06:07 bauzas or any other folks wanting to discuss ?
08:07:27 gibi I can rant about the rainy weather
08:07:40 gibi ;)
08:08:42 sean-k-mooney[m] just looking at the patch submitted above by jingsheng zhang https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/812796
08:08:54 sean-k-mooney[m] is that something we even support
08:09:01 sean-k-mooney[m] ipxe boot of nova vms
08:09:20 bauzas gibi: hah
08:09:28 bauzas we have a good weather here :)
08:09:29 sean-k-mooney[m] i dont know if they are here and could explain there motivation for that
08:09:45 bauzas sean-k-mooney: good question
08:10:25 sean-k-mooney[m] my understandign is the only way to use ipxe is to enable the qemu boot menu
08:10:33 sean-k-mooney[m] and manually select it
08:10:49 bauzas I'm not really sure it's a nova question
08:10:51 sean-k-mooney[m] also this feels like a spec not a bug since it has object changes
08:10:52 bauzas maybe more an image
08:11:37 bauzas I mean, if you want to have instances calling PXE, then you need to have an image booting by it
08:11:57 sean-k-mooney[m] not really
08:12:05 sean-k-mooney[m] that is provided by the qemu seabios image on the host
08:12:08 bauzas sean-k-mooney: but agreed, this isn't a bug, more a new feature
08:12:13 sean-k-mooney[m] its not provide by the glance image
08:12:17 gibi I agree that it feels like a feature
08:12:42 sean-k-mooney[m] we dont officaly support ipxe boot which is why i raised it
08:12:51 gibi when I see ipxe boot with nova that was with a special image booted
08:12:59 bauzas sean-k-mooney: oh, you mean that the host needs to support iPXE ?
08:13:17 sean-k-mooney[m] gibi you can use an ipxe image form glance
08:13:34 sean-k-mooney[m] but seabios i belive support ipex/network boot too
08:13:46 bauzas is this about having guests calling a pxe server or having a way to have a host supporting pxe ?
08:14:18 gibi sean-k-mooney[m]: I see so there is multiple ways
08:14:33 sean-k-mooney[m] its about the guest pxe booting and what happens if you live migrate that guest between hosts
08:15:03 sean-k-mooney[m] if the image was from glance then presumable it would not change between hosts when you live migrate
08:15:20 sean-k-mooney[m] which is why im assumje this is related to teh seabios image form the host
08:15:32 sean-k-mooney[m] it may not be however
08:16:50 sean-k-mooney[m] https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1946298
08:17:00 sean-k-mooney[m] this is the relevent bug report
08:17:18 sean-k-mooney[m] anyway it looks like they are not present to talk about it in the meeting
08:17:27 bauzas yeah
08:17:27 sean-k-mooney[m] so we can disucss it later
08:17:44 bauzas sean-k-mooney: you should review the change and tell me to at least create a blueprint
08:17:53 bauzas to exactly explain their needs
08:18:39 bauzas it looks to me we never supported ipxe booting with libvirt
08:19:03 bauzas libvirt had the knob, but we never exposed it on nova
08:19:33 bauzas so this is fortunate to work, but indeed for move operations, you have to do extra things
08:19:39 sean-k-mooney[m] correct we dont offically support it
08:20:10 sean-k-mooney[m] looking at the bug report then issue is related to the option rom of the network interface which can have different size on diferent hosts
08:20:23 sean-k-mooney[m] but i dd not think we supported enabling that either
08:20:34 gibi I agree with generic sentiment above, so this is a bp at least but most probably a spec
08:21:28 bauzas that's probably a spec indeed, but let's just ask for the blueprint first
08:21:41 bauzas just to understand the needs
08:22:25 bauzas sean-k-mooney: I can triage the bug as Invalid/Wishlist and explain them to open a blueprint
08:22:39 bauzas agreed ?
08:22:56 sean-k-mooney[m] sure
08:23:58 gibi agreed
08:24:14 bauzas ok, anything else to discuss ?
08:24:53 bauzas I'll put a PTG session proposal to discuss the opportunity of the Asian timeslot
08:25:12 bauzas I don't exactly want to kill it, but I wonder how to make it productive if we keep it
08:25:35 bauzas meetings for the sake of meeting seems a bit irrelevant
08:25:47 gibi bauzas: I had the meeting mentioned in the retro part of the etherpad
08:25:52 bauzas cool
08:25:57 bauzas thanks
08:26:18 bauzas it's more or less the question to reach the contributors who don't usually get into IRC
08:26:18 gibi L119
08:26:51 bauzas at least, if we continue, I'll officially name "office hour"
08:27:01 bauzas this sounds more reasonable
08:27:08 bauzas as we don't really have an agenda
08:27:40 bauzas ok, anything to add before I close ?

08:39:58 opendevreview Jinsheng Zhang proposed openstack/nova master: Nova support live-migrate instance between different ipxe efi rom https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/812796
08:50:33 lyarwood gibi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1946339 you might be interested in this
08:54:47 gibi looking
08:56:00 gibi lyarwood: thanks,yes, that is one of the recently added test case
08:56:25 gibi lyarwood: is it high frequency?
09:06:22 opendevreview Dmitriy Rabotyagov proposed openstack/nova master: Ensure MAC addresses characters are in the same case https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/811947
09:17:26 lyarwood gibi: sorry not looked at the frequency, just saw one hit and raised the bug
09:17:33 gibi lyarwood: ack, I will check it
09:18:14 gibi I need to juggle multiple things right now downstream so it will take a bit of time to get to it
09:20:45 lyarwood ack np
09:42:15 stephenfin now that we've forked, any chance we could get these in nice and early? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/810291
09:44:31 gibi stephenfin: I want them, I just need to find the time to review them :/
09:45:43 gibi (there is an ongoing discussion to upgrade a mitaka cloud to victoria downstream in a single step and that discussion is killing meg right now)
09:46:34 opendevreview Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: compute: Update volume_id within connection_info during swap_volume https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/807025
09:46:34 opendevreview Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: fup: Move _wait_for_volume_{attach,detach} to os-volume_attachments https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/810775
