| 11:18:34 | sean-k-mooney | well it basiclly woudl be that | |
| 11:18:48 | sean-k-mooney | glance supprot referencig an image on an external web sever | |
| 11:19:03 | sean-k-mooney | im just talkign about the same capablity in nova directly | |
| 11:19:24 | noonedeadpunk | but also creating a voilume from iso usually kinda works for vmware migrations.... or rescue at worst... | |
| 11:19:58 | noonedeadpunk | well in Glance one can disable that quite easily, just to mention that | |
| 11:20:22 | sean-k-mooney | ya so at server create you can annotat the volume as being an iso or rather disk_type=cdrom | |
| 11:20:38 | sean-k-mooney | we just dont expost that filed form the bdm on volume attach and we shoudl | |
| 11:20:48 | sean-k-mooney | there are other disk types like lun | |
| 11:21:05 | noonedeadpunk | but actually - that is kinda a good point, of why multiple volumes can't be attached on boot... | |
| 11:21:07 | sean-k-mooney | which can ony be set on boot too that are needed for scsi v3 command instead of scsi v2 | |
| 11:21:21 | sean-k-mooney | you can have multipel volumes | |
| 11:21:58 | sean-k-mooney | so you can have the root be a image or a volume and you can have arbitry number of addtional cinder data volumes | |
| 11:22:14 | noonedeadpunk | ah, indeed, you can pass block_device_mapping_v2 | |
| 11:22:16 | sean-k-mooney | that what peole do when migrating they create 1 volume per disk in vmware | |
| 11:22:44 | sean-k-mooney | noonedeadpunk: yep but even without that you can use the syntatic sugar commadn in osc | |
| 11:22:55 | sean-k-mooney | you just repeate --volume for each addtional volume | |
| 11:24:26 | sean-k-mooney | osc will internally comptue the block_device_mapping_v2 object for you, that what it alwasy doing when you use volumes internally | |
| 11:25:07 | sean-k-mooney | the issue with the attach api is we only expose some of the filed setable via BDMv2 structure | |
| 11:25:52 | sean-k-mooney | so nova hwas the ablity at server create to create more complex topolgies then you can create post boot via attach | |

| 15:08:40 | gibi | ^^ this last one is not a pure eventlet removal so I can accept a request to split the commit to two one that is independnet form the eventlet series and one that just adds the related tests back to the threading job after the first patch lands | |

| 19:33:13 | sean-k-mooney | melwitt: so preserving the tmp data as distastful as it may be is probely technialy a feature not a bug | |
| 19:33:53 | sean-k-mooney | all the code i have looked at point to use assumign the data is preerved but the libvirt code never did that by default | |
| 19:34:28 | sean-k-mooney | that means however that vTPM in nova is unsutable for storign encyption keys like those used by bitlocker | |
| 19:35:18 | sean-k-mooney | adn its only sutable today to provide storage for messuered boot or to provide cyrpograpic random numbers | |
| 19:37:08 | sean-k-mooney | the nvram sitution i have not had time to track down | |
| 19:37:41 | sean-k-mooney | it may hae been a simialr logic on libvirt side where they assuemd it was oke to delet ewhen the domain in undefined and we assuemd it would be preserved like the disks | |
| 19:38:52 | sean-k-mooney | melwitt: if we cant backport supprot for this upstream because we agree its a feature not a bug i think we at least need to backport a warning in our docs | |
| 19:56:58 | clarkb | isn't the problem that operating systems like windows will use it without your input? | |
| 19:57:17 | clarkb | so while it may not be suitable today their decisions may force a behavior choice? | |
| 22:50:42 | melwitt | I'm seeing the grenade-skip-level-always job failing a lot lately on "2025-07-25 19:16:25.748 | + inc/upgrade:save_mysql_dbs:45 : timeout 120 mysqldump -uroot -psecretdatabase neutron" | |
| 22:57:43 | melwitt | sean-k-mooney: thanks for digging into it. I agree on backporting at least a warning in the docs. personally I would support backporting use of the VIR_DOMAIN_UNDEFINE_KEEP_TPM flag given the severity of the unexpected behavior but I'm not sure if there could be any other issues with doing that | |
| 23:08:27 | gmaan | melwitt: yeah, it is known issue in grenade job. gibi added timeout to DB dump so that job will fail early than waiting for long time | |
| 23:08:43 | gmaan | and this is one fix he is trying https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/grenade/+/955865 | |
| 23:11:06 | melwitt | gmaan: ahh ok, thanks! I was looking but did not find any hint about it | |
| 23:11:36 | gmaan | yeah, unfortunately nothing much in logs whihc can help to debug | |

| 10:04:40 | sean-k-mooney | clarkb: yes thats part of the porblem. you have to opt in to vtpm but if its there it will be used by windows. everything i have reviewed on the nova side seams to have exepcted it to not be delete when we hard reboot butthat was obvioulsy an oversight on our part | |
| 10:04:48 | sean-k-mooney | clarkb: i would like to fix this as a bug fix | |
| 10:06:08 | sean-k-mooney | but im just pointing out that looking at libvirt c code and nova code i could find no evidance that it ever worked in the past the way we expected and therefor it technially not a regression. but to me it fundemently breaks how a tpm should work so while its tecnially a "feature" im very open to say this is a bug | |
| 10:08:14 | sean-k-mooney | its one of those things wehre the letter of the law says it a feature but being pragmatic and reflecting on both the enduser and operator impact combined with our orginal in tent i think it a bug, even if that was a bug in the orginal spec because we did not account for the deletaion on domain undefine | |
