| 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 ? | |
| 08:29:09 | gibi | - | |

| 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 | |
| 09:46:35 | opendevreview | Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: fup: Refactor and simplify Cinder fixture GET volume mock https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/810776 | |
| 10:11:56 | opendevreview | Dmitriy Rabotyagov proposed openstack/nova master: Ensure MAC addresses characters are in the same case https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/811947 | |
| 10:22:26 | opendevreview | Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: zuul: Move live migration jobs back to voting https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/812392 | |
| 10:22:26 | opendevreview | Lee Yarwood proposed openstack/nova master: Revert "zuul: Skip block migration with attached volumes tests due to bug #1931702" https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/812473 | |
| 10:22:40 | lyarwood | ^ also needs the stable/xena backport of my devstack fix to allow grenade to work /o\ | |
| 10:42:11 | opendevreview | sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: Add autopep8 to tox and pre-commit https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/806182 | |
| 10:42:49 | sean-k-mooney | i hope people will be open to ^ | |
| 10:57:29 | sean-k-mooney | well this is new "flake8.exceptions.PluginRequestedUnknownParameters: "pycodestyle" requested unknown parameters causing 'FileProcessor' object has no attribute 'indent_size'" | |
| 10:59:10 | sean-k-mooney | ah ok that with my patch im not capping the deps when installing autopep8 | |
| 11:01:03 | sean-k-mooney | hum no thats not the issue | |
| 11:17:12 | noonedeadpunk | sean-k-mooney: hey! regarding https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/811947 - setting lower would require adjusting a lot of existing unit tests because all of them have assumption about mac being in upper case | |
| 11:17:28 | noonedeadpunk | Having that in mind - should I still convert it to lower()? | |
| 11:18:22 | noonedeadpunk | Because what I didn't want to do - to change tests to fit my change :) | |
| 11:18:41 | noonedeadpunk | But if you think it's fine - no problems | |
| 11:20:59 | sean-k-mooney | i kind of dont like sprinkeling random upper and lower cases converstion in the code in general and would prefer to have normalise utility function that is used consitently | |
| 11:21:26 | sean-k-mooney | i would prefer to have it normalise to lower case but i think your bug is just a sincel case of thsi | |
| 11:21:39 | sean-k-mooney | i think there could be other places that woudl still break | |
| 11:24:21 | sean-k-mooney | noonedeadpunk: with that said i also think this is a neuton bug | |
| 11:24:31 | sean-k-mooney | i think neutron should be normalising this internally themselves | |
| 11:26:56 | noonedeadpunk | Well... Maybe it should, but, we take xml from libvirt and from neutron api. So these are 2 different sources of truth nova takes info from. And current assumption that they shoudl be equal | |
