| 13:04:16 | sean-k-mooney | just doing a little quick resarch qemu/libvirt wont do the resize for you you have to do that manually today before bindign the device to vfio-pci. second there is a limisation in ovmf by default where the adress apce resverd sames to default to 32GB for mmio mappings https://edk2.groups.io/g/discuss/topic/59340711 | |
| 13:05:37 | sean-k-mooney | we do not allow any use of <qemu:commandline> in nova so you woudl need that to be supproted in libvirt nativly before turnign the mmio apature via "fw_cfg name=opt/ovmf/X-PciMmio64Mb,string=65536" coudl be supproted | |
| 13:05:56 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: | |
| 13:06:07 | gibi | thanks for the review in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/954149 | |
| 13:06:42 | gibi | I responded inline. bottom line your reserved idea is probably correct, but I'm afraid of the complexity of the patch already | |
| 13:07:08 | sean-k-mooney | gibi: that not a blocker | |
| 13:07:16 | sean-k-mooney | we can consider it in a followup | |
| 13:07:24 | sean-k-mooney | i was jsut trying to think is there a way to close that gap | |
| 13:09:21 | grami[m] | sean-k-mooney: Yeah had to add that Nvidia says it's a requirement for the larger gpus | |
| 13:09:50 | sean-k-mooney | grami[m]: based on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578278 it looks lime https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/2023.1/approved/libvirt-maxphysaddr-support.html may also impact that | |
| 13:09:57 | sean-k-mooney | but i dont think the two ar the same | |
| 13:10:12 | grami[m] | Already have a patch for this but it's medieval in its method but works for now. | |
| 13:10:16 | sean-k-mooney | we cant accapt any change that uses raw <qemu:commandline> elements in nova | |
| 13:10:52 | sean-k-mooney | so if we need to tweak the ovmf parmater seperatly form teh cpu adress space | |
| 13:10:58 | sean-k-mooney | we will need to modify libvirt first | |
| 13:11:52 | grami[m] | Ah thanks for that | |

| 13:40:42 | opendevreview | ribaudr proposed openstack/nova master: Update compute rpc alias for epoxy https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/959181 | |
| 13:41:01 | gibi | sean-k-mooney: it is the freqency and the impact of the gap vs. my fears of the complexity to close and test that gap is what makes me reluctant | |
| 13:45:44 | gibi | bauzas: re | |
| 13:45:45 | gibi | 10:32 < bauzas> honestly, I don't have any number, if the job works up to tomorrow, then if so, let's leave it to be voting :) | |

| 16:04:25 | Uggla | Anythink special with the gates ? | |
| 16:04:33 | Uggla | Anything special with the gates ? | |
| 16:04:34 | gibi | just a heads up | |
| 16:05:15 | gibi | that I see multiple cases when the ceph multistore job failed due to volume build issues and mostly in the encrypted volume tempest tests | |
| 16:05:41 | gibi | I did not dig deeper but I feel it is a pattern | |
| 16:07:06 | Uggla | an idea of the success/failure rate ? | |
| 16:07:30 | gibi | https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=nova-ceph-multistore&project=openstack/nova | |
| 16:07:33 | gibi | not terrible | |
| 16:08:49 | gibi | I will try to dig into the failure tomorrow | |
| 16:08:59 | Uggla | ok thanks gibi | |
| 16:09:16 | Uggla | although that looks not easy. | |

| 16:18:24 | Uggla | Bug to review are in the doc, but we may focus on the following ones: | |
| 16:18:26 | Uggla | #link 699176: Faults from cell DB missing in GET /servers/detail | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/699176 | |
| 16:18:33 | Uggla | #link 955657: Preserve vTPM state between power off and power on | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/955657 | |
| 16:19:48 | Uggla | The latest one was really wanted by the author. | |
| 16:20:55 | Uggla | and gmaan if you can have a look at there 2: #link 952894: Reproducer for bug 2114951 | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/952894 & 952895: Fix bug 2114951 | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/952895 | |
| 16:21:18 | jayaanand | i am from NetApp. Multiple customers asking for extending NFS volumes attached to instances | |
| 16:21:40 | gmaan | right, I opened those when you added me in review and then got distracted, will check those | |
| 16:21:51 | Uggla | gmaan 👍 | |
| 16:22:14 | jayaanand | Is it possible in G release | |
| 16:22:50 | Uggla | jayaanand, it is a feature if I'm not wrong. | |
| 16:23:17 | jayaanand | Related to spec https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/949504 | |
| 16:26:12 | Uggla | ok I'll put that in the PTG topic, it is in the pipe for quite a long time. So I'll try to set it as a "priority". | |
| 16:26:29 | Uggla | Any draft patches already attached to it ? | |
| 16:28:15 | jayaanand | Thank you! We don't have any draft patch | |
| 16:29:20 | dansmith | jayaanand: you don't have draft patches because... you expect someone else to work on it? | |
| 16:29:44 | jayaanand | We have partial fix proposed https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/680648 for a Bug related to NFS extension. Is it possible to merge | |
| 16:30:41 | Uggla | jayaanand, there are 2 x -1 so it looks difficult. | |
| 16:30:48 | jayaanand | Reviewers pointed to this feature | |
| 16:31:29 | dansmith | well, some discussion is definitely required.. and that discussion should happen before we try to give you any sort of idea about when it could land | |
