| 15:41:53 | opendevreview | Merged openstack/nova stable/2023.2: Disconnecting volume from the compute host https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/911396 | |
| 15:55:10 | melwitt | sean-k-mooney: fyi in case you missed it, I updated https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp/unified-limits-nova-unset-limits%22+is:open+project:openstack/nova after we chatted about [workarounds] and a release note | |
| 15:58:19 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: i dont think that is a bug | |
| 15:58:28 | sean-k-mooney | the bdm are not just for cinder | |
| 15:59:01 | sean-k-mooney | you use them ot create multiple ephermaal disk, swap disk and for the root disk | |
| 15:59:42 | stephenfin | Right, I know all that (that's what 'destination_type' is there for, after all). My point is that the nova-api/nova-compute ignores what the user is giving rather than spitting it back at them | |
| 16:00:03 | sean-k-mooney | right so the api is corect to accept it | |
| 16:00:09 | sean-k-mooney | the comptue proably has a bug | |
| 16:00:30 | sean-k-mooney | or there is a bug in how we are merging the bdm and the image | |
| 16:00:44 | stephenfin | Interesting. Are you suggestion I should be able to override $flavor.disk with a BDM? | |
| 16:00:50 | melwitt | yeah, I checked and the api-ref example actually shows boot_index=0 (https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/#id11) however I think what stephenfin is saying is nova isn't taking the disk size from the BDM and is instead using what's in the flavor in the local case? | |
| 16:00:52 | stephenfin | s/suggestion/suggesting/ | |
| 16:01:04 | stephenfin | melwitt: Yes, thanks Mel :) | |
| 16:01:30 | sean-k-mooney | im sayiung that passing image_ref and also providing bdms for the root disk is proably undfiend right now | |
| 16:01:51 | sean-k-mooney | im incined to say that that might be something to reject with a 400 | |
| 16:02:01 | melwitt | seems like a nova bug although if flavor and bdm are in conflict then I guess maybe it should reject it saying conflict because we can't assume which one they really wanted | |
| 16:02:07 | stephenfin | Not so. If I pass destination_type=volume instead of destination_type=local, things work just fine (that's a BFV instance) | |
| 16:02:24 | sean-k-mooney | right | |
| 16:02:35 | sean-k-mooney | but im not sure you should be passsing an image uuid | |
| 16:02:59 | sean-k-mooney | and bdms with srouce type image and a uuid | |
| 16:04:08 | stephenfin | Yeah, fair point. I'm thinking about OSC but from a pure API level, you'd set imageRef to nll and set uuid in the relevant BDM instead | |
| 16:04:16 | sean-k-mooney | https://paste.openstack.org/show/bnHpudm9QI1H7gj7aVAm/ | |
| 16:04:22 | sean-k-mooney | that a pretty print of the payload | |
| 16:04:45 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: so what exactly happens in this case | |
| 16:05:04 | sean-k-mooney | i think the result should be the same since its the same uuid | |
| 16:05:30 | sean-k-mooney | are you expeciting the size to be 6 and your getting the flavor size | |
| 16:06:11 | sean-k-mooney | "destination_type": "local", is really intended only for the addtional ephmeral disks and volume | |
| 16:06:18 | sean-k-mooney | *volume_size | |
| 16:06:25 | sean-k-mooney | in that case is for when you want to have multiple | |
| 16:06:42 | stephenfin | just checking now | |
| 16:06:50 | sean-k-mooney | destination_type=volume volume_size is obvioulsy the cinder volume size | |
| 16:07:52 | melwitt | I guess if we consider how it works for volume (bdm disk size takes precedence) maybe we should do that with local too? rather than it being treated as invalid | |
| 16:08:23 | sean-k-mooney | yep i would expect the bdm to have precidence but it shoudl not be able to exceed flavor.disk_gb | |
| 16:08:30 | melwitt | that would make it consistent. I assume that flavor disk size is ignored for BFV | |
| 16:08:31 | sean-k-mooney | for the non bfv case | |
| 16:08:47 | sean-k-mooney | melwitt: yes and no | |
| 16:08:54 | sean-k-mooney | it mostly is | |
| 16:09:02 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: so the answer is it depends :) | |
| 16:09:04 | sean-k-mooney | you shoudl set it to 0 for bfv flavors | |
| 16:09:15 | stephenfin | if I pass an imageRef, then the BFV is totally ignored | |
| 16:09:33 | sean-k-mooney | in older release we used to claim it if not but in newer release if its BFV even if the falvor is not 0 we 0 it in placment ectra | |
| 16:09:42 | stephenfin | if I do not pass an imageRef, then the server goes to error state due an ImageNotFound error | |
| 16:09:43 | sean-k-mooney | so it depend on how old your nova is | |
| 16:09:50 | melwitt | I see | |
| 16:09:54 | sean-k-mooney | but like train did the right thing | |
| 16:10:18 | sean-k-mooney | so its been correctly ignoring it for bfv for a long time | |
| 16:10:22 | stephenfin | this is using a relatively recent deploy of DevStack (commit 8c4a2e1b4759b9932bcad10810143e61ec9b4c36 from Jul 20) | |
| 16:11:30 | stephenfin | sean-k-mooney: I was thinking that I would get a disk size of 6, but idk if that's necessarily something we want to support. Flavors are there for a reason and allowing users to do this provides a way to side-step what the operators want them to use | |
| 16:11:57 | stephenfin | then again, they could just request N ephemeral disks, so it probably doesn't matter: the operator has to reply on quota to save them | |
| 16:12:04 | sean-k-mooney | stephenfin: they kind of alreayd have that however | |
| 16:12:16 | stephenfin | you mean with Cinder? | |
| 16:12:21 | sean-k-mooney | and we do allow you do do it for the addtional ephmeral disk and for bfv | |
| 16:12:42 | sean-k-mooney | no so you can have a flavor with ephmeral_disk=100GB | |
| 16:12:51 | stephenfin | oh, yes | |
| 16:12:55 | sean-k-mooney | and hten you can subdevided that into multiple disks via the bdm | |
| 16:13:09 | stephenfin | me trying to figure out whether I could do that is what led me down this rabbit hole :) | |
| 16:13:17 | sean-k-mooney | https://docs.openstack.org/nova/train/user/launch-instance-from-volume.html#create-volume-from-image-and-boot-instance | |
| 16:13:46 | stephenfin | fwict, it's not really subdividing it so much as completely ignoring what's in the flavor | |
| 16:14:12 | sean-k-mooney | well if its using 6GB i think that is correct | |
| 16:14:37 | sean-k-mooney | provided the flavor is > 6GB | |
| 16:14:42 | sean-k-mooney | well >= | |
| 16:15:49 | sean-k-mooney | https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/user-guide/cli-nova-launch-instance-from-volume.html | |
| 16:16:13 | sean-k-mooney | the note makes it pretty clear for swap and ephermeral | |
| 16:16:15 | sean-k-mooney | "The flavor defines the maximum swap and ephemeral disk size. You cannot exceed these maximum values." | |
| 16:16:30 | sean-k-mooney | so it looks like we wanted the bdms to have precednce over the flavor | |
| 16:16:48 | stephenfin | Yup. That's what I'm seeing. Good point. I'd missed that nuance | |
| 16:18:44 | sean-k-mooney | i assume you followed the BFV example but changed source ot image and dest to local | |
| 16:18:48 | sean-k-mooney | $ openstack server create --flavor FLAVOR --block-device \ | |
| 16:18:50 | sean-k-mooney | source=SOURCE,id=ID,dest=DEST,size=SIZE,shutdown=PRESERVE,bootindex=INDEX \ | |
| 16:18:52 | sean-k-mooney | NAME | |
| 16:19:51 | stephenfin | sort of - I hacked in a `--root` option to OSC | |
| 16:20:05 | stephenfin | it was easier than figuring out a `--block-device` invocation 0:) | |
| 16:20:21 | sean-k-mooney | ok is there a reason yoru doing this | |
| 16:20:40 | stephenfin | <stephenfin> me trying to figure out whether I could do that is what led me down this rabbit hole :) | |
| 16:20:53 | sean-k-mooney | ok there are some things you can only do via the bdms | |
| 16:21:23 | sean-k-mooney | im confilictedc if i should tell you what those are | |
| 16:21:31 | sean-k-mooney | on one hand you might make it easy to do | |
| 16:21:52 | sean-k-mooney | on the other hand you might make it easy to do and ill have to support people doing it :) | |
| 16:22:57 | sean-k-mooney | the only way to specify a per disk device type is block_device_mapping_v2.device_type i.e. disk, cdrom. | |
| 16:22:58 | stephenfin | that ship has sailed. There are already a load of newish BDM-related options that I added over the past few years (like the `--block-device` option you refer to) | |
| 16:23:05 | sean-k-mooney | you can also set block_device_mapping_v2.disk_bus pre bdm | |
| 16:23:20 | sean-k-mooney | allowign diffent disks to have specific disk bus "fdc, ide, sata, scsi, usb, virtio, xen, lxc and uml." | |
| 16:24:08 | sean-k-mooney | so if you wanted your root disk to use stata and the rest to use virtio-blk or virtio-scsi | |
| 16:24:27 | sean-k-mooney | you should be able to express that in the bdms | |
| 16:25:40 | auniyal | hey elodilles, sean-k-mooney, stephenfin, | |
| 16:25:40 | auniyal | (did not wanted to disturb on-going chat, but its late for me, so when you have some time) can you please look into these https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22lp/2012365%22 ; backports for stable/2023.1 merged in stable/2023.1 | |
| 16:27:42 | elodilles | auniyal: ACK, added to my TODO list, though probably will do only tomorrow | |
| 16:28:42 | auniyal | elodilles, thanks, yeah sure | |
