17:08:50 sean-k-mooney ack
17:09:49 sean-k-mooney im wondering if we could see this in ci. i think this is valid in anycase
17:10:12 sean-k-mooney we could create a repodcuer functional tests. in thoery tempest coudl detect this also
17:10:26 sean-k-mooney we just need to curl the metadata after the resize
17:10:32 sean-k-mooney or check the config drive i guess
17:10:49 sean-k-mooney presumable it workign now because the keypari is already in the authorized keys
17:11:24 Uggla sean-k-mooney, I'd like to try to do a reproducer.
17:11:30 gibi yepp we should be able to catch this in tempest
17:12:16 sean-k-mooney the workaround for now is just pass the keypari again on rebuild i guess
17:12:23 Uggla So if you all agree I will set this bug to valid and I'll try to do a reproducer. But I may need your help.
17:12:38 sean-k-mooney ack, sure shout if you hit issues
17:13:25 Uggla I will also update the bug with the workaround and remind limitation.
17:14:02 Uggla We are overtime, so I think we can wrap for today.
17:14:20 sean-k-mooney im not sure if we have multi cell functional tests today so that could be "fun" to make work
17:14:55 sean-k-mooney reproducing it in tempest will be simpler in this specific case.
17:15:10 sean-k-mooney oh we do https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/tests/functional/test_cross_cell_migrate.py
17:15:29 dansmith matt riedemann did that work, so I was *sure* there was functional testing for it :D
17:16:07 sean-k-mooney ack. getting diffent config to work in the fucntionla tests is still a bit fo a pain so i was unsure if we did or not
17:17:15 Uggla anything else ?
17:17:32 Uggla Thanks all and thanks for the extended time for bug triage.

17:18:31 elodilles thanks o/
17:19:51 masahito thank
17:21:24 gibi Uggla: thanks
17:21:49 Uggla you are welcome.
17:24:11 sean-k-mooney Uggla: so https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/tests/functional/test_cross_cell_migrate.py#L816-L826 test_cold_migrate_target_host_in_other_cell
17:24:36 sean-k-mooney get you to the point where the vm has be moved to a differnt cell
17:24:48 sean-k-mooney you shoudl be able to use that as a baseline to create a repoducer
17:25:08 Uggla ok but it is a fn test right ?
17:25:39 Uggla You have said that a tempest one should be easier.
17:25:44 Uggla Am i wrong ?
17:26:07 sean-k-mooney that was assumign we did nto have functional test coverage for this which we do
17:26:27 sean-k-mooney so it should be pretty simple to extend since all the infra is in place
17:27:14 Uggla ok I will try to reproduce with the fn ones though.
17:27:44 sean-k-mooney _resize_and_validate accepts a server and returns server, source_rp_uuid, target_rp_uuid, old_flavor, new_flavor
17:27:59 sean-k-mooney so you can create a server with a key pair
17:28:07 sean-k-mooney assert that its in the first cell db
17:28:13 sean-k-mooney then call that to move it
17:28:20 sean-k-mooney and then check the second db
17:28:26 sean-k-mooney i think that woudl work
17:29:28 Uggla sean-k-mooney, OK I'll try.
#openstack-nova - 2025-05-21
01:04:54 opendevreview Merged openstack/placement master: improve test logging and replace psycopg2 with psycopg2-binary https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/placement/+/945487
06:33:27 opendevreview Arnaud Morin proposed openstack/nova master: Fix missing marker with instances in build_requests https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/947804
06:34:51 opendevreview Stefan K proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Add Cloud Hypervisor support spec https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/945549
09:24:57 sean-k-mooney Uggla: there are 2 potential specless blueprint for use to consider https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/xml-image-meta which has an implemeation aviabel https://review.opendev.org/q/topic:%22bp/xml-image-meta%22 is the first
09:25:56 sean-k-mooney Uggla: the author reached out druing feature freeze and i chatted to them about it and gave some early feedback but they never procedurlly asked for the blueprint to be specless and for it to be reviewd
09:26:31 sean-k-mooney i suggested that they add it to the next meeting or ask for the approave via the mailing list if they cant attend
09:27:06 sean-k-mooney the ohter is more of a feature request but i think it could be specless https://lists.openstack.org/archives/list/openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org/thread/NSW3OG5ME5RDPQYLHF4T4RCWPQYG57PK/
09:27:39 sean-k-mooney TLDR libvirt can now auto free ram allocated to a geust when the guest releases it internally.
09:27:55 sean-k-mooney you would not really want to do that for realtime vms
09:28:10 sean-k-mooney and you cant do it for hugepage/filebacked vms
09:28:32 sean-k-mooney but for standard vms we proably shoudl just enabel that always
09:28:54 bauzas sean-k-mooney: I need to go to the physio in 30 mins but if you have time, it would be nice if you could help me on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/922140
09:29:03 sean-k-mooney this is more just an fyi that thsoe would both eb low hanging fruite features.
09:29:43 sean-k-mooney bauzas: form the logs the last time it was pretty clear that the isseu was nto with the subnode using the wrong commit
09:30:20 sean-k-mooney i say you said that in the team meeting yesterday but that was no tthe problem previosuly, we coudl see the commit that was beign used in the job output on the ocmptue and it was correct
09:30:26 sean-k-mooney witht hat said sure i can take a look
09:30:59 Uggla sean-k-mooney, Ok I will add them to the doc and we will be able to discuss them in next meeting if it is required.
09:31:23 sean-k-mooney bauzas: i assume you have tired this locally?
09:37:27 sean-k-mooney bauzas: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/d31c2c01045a409a96d9dfd5e8aabbaa/log/job-output.txt#25980 so its defintly using the expected commit on the compute node
09:40:06 sean-k-mooney in the comptue node devstack logs we can also see the tat compilation is enabeld 2025-05-20 12:55:42.033 | ++ /opt/stack/nova/devstack/settings:source:2 : NOVA_COMPILE_MDEV_SAMPLES=True
09:40:51 sean-k-mooney mdevctl is also installed
09:43:09 sean-k-mooney looking at the compiel itesf there are some warning but apprently they were compled and loaded properly
09:43:11 sean-k-mooney https://paste.opendev.org/show/bcAgW92YFhDTcFs5QLDD/
09:45:11 sean-k-mooney the probelm to me look more like libvirt has not detected the mdevs yet and we only see that on the compute beasue there is less of a delay between the devstack stages
09:46:10 sean-k-mooney if i had to guess movign the compilation and install earliyer in devstack or restarting libvirt might fix this.
09:50:51 bauzas sean-k-mooney: sorry I was not notified by my TheLounge instance
09:51:13 bauzas my main wonder is why compute1 says mtty_mtty is a wrong device
09:51:36 bauzas anyway, I need to go to the physio now :(
09:51:42 sean-k-mooney bauzas: ill push a patch while your away
09:51:56 sean-k-mooney we can see if moving the module install before installign libvirt fixes it
09:52:17 bauzas I don't think this is the problem but let's see
09:52:20 sean-k-mooney i think its due to caching fo the device and a race between nova-comptue starting and libvirt seeing the device
09:52:51 sean-k-mooney bauzas: well i confimed its usign the correct commit, the compile succeed and the kernel modules were loaded
09:53:03 sean-k-mooney so that means the issue is either on the libvirt side or in nova
10:22:18 opendevreview sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: move compile earlier https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/950516
10:23:24 sean-k-mooney if my intuition is correct then ^ will fix it but we may need to keep the compile in install dependin on if we have depenciy issues
12:27:53 opendevreview sean mooney proposed openstack/nova master: move compile earlier https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/950516
14:24:58 gibi sean-k-mooney: dansmith: bauzas: FYI the oslo.service threading backend patch has been merged https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.service/+/945720
14:26:16 dansmith cool
14:30:15 dansmith gibi: pci-in-placement (I think) question
14:30:38 dansmith ...and I'm getting close to being able to do this again, so if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll repro to show you exactly, but:
14:31:10 dansmith since I don't have a lot of identical pci devices to play with, I tried configuring two different ones with the same name for my flavor (they're equivalent, just not identical)
14:31:40 dansmith when I tried to boot with that flavor, I got an error about "only one pci request allowed".. I think it was pci-in-placement specific
14:32:36 dansmith I always thought one of the benefits of symbolic naming for the pci devices was so you could use something like "nvme256G" and even if you had multiple generations of hardware, you'd get a suitable device
14:32:58 dansmith is that a pci-in-placement restriction or am I mistaken about that normally working?
14:33:33 gibi is it two aliases with the same name but different request?
14:33:56 dansmith right
14:34:21 gibi https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2102038
14:35:36 gibi it is definitely does not work with pci in placement. Without it it is accepted but based on Sean this never really fully worked there either
14:36:13 bauzas gibi: dansmith: in a current meeting but looking
14:36:14 dansmith hmm, okay
14:36:35 dansmith gibi: I thought you could also specify devices in alias by address, but maybe that's not right
14:36:35 gibi https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/944062 see the comments from sean-k-mooney
14:36:57 gibi dansmith: I don't have the full picture of this without PCI in Placement
