| 11:20:37 | iurygregory | Hello nova folks, just a reminder that today at 15:30 UTC we have cross-project session with ironic, where? Mitaka room | |
| 12:00:05 | sean-k-mooney | https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-ptg#L93 | |
| 12:00:20 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: it says nova host in the grizzly room | |
| 12:00:46 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory:but that really means join https://meetpad.opendev.org/nova-2026.1-ptg | |
| 12:01:32 | sean-k-mooney | since we are not using zoom rooms and are usign the meetpad/jitis rooms instead | |
| 12:12:08 | iurygregory | sean-k-mooney, oh ok! | |
| 12:13:47 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory:oh uyou sadi 15:30 | |
| 12:13:54 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: for that we are in your room | |
| 12:13:57 | sean-k-mooney | https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/nova-2026.1-ptg#L104 | |
| 12:14:13 | sean-k-mooney | i looked at teh mainilla session sorry | |
| 12:14:25 | iurygregory | oh ok | |
| 12:14:32 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: so we shoudl be joining https://meetpad.opendev.org/oct2025-ptg-ironic at 15:30 | |
| 12:14:37 | iurygregory | yeah | |
| 12:14:59 | iurygregory | I will join the nova room to remind about it | |
| 12:15:09 | sean-k-mooney | oh you were not askign where it is you were saying it was in mitaka before | |
| 12:15:24 | iurygregory | yeah =) | |
| 12:16:35 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: so im proably still going ot be in the watcher room at that point so i likely wont be able to attend but i think i replied in supprot fo the ironic topic on the ml? unless im misrememebring | |
| 12:17:02 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: the restore backups to a different availability zone topic if for cinder right? | |
| 12:17:11 | iurygregory | sean-k-mooney, you did | |
| 12:17:35 | sean-k-mooney | given you cant use AZ with ironic really since you cant really use host aggartes with ironic | |
| 12:17:42 | sean-k-mooney | on the nova side | |
| 12:18:16 | sean-k-mooney | its proably less broken then it was in the past now that we supprot the ironic sharding feature | |
| 12:18:18 | iurygregory | yeah, we only have two topics the graphical console and boot the machines from NVMe-over-TCP (nova+cinder) | |
| 12:18:27 | sean-k-mooney | cool | |
| 12:18:48 | iurygregory | feel free to add info in the etherpad if you want also | |
| 12:18:55 | iurygregory | https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/ironic-ptg-2026.1#L667 | |
| 12:19:23 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: this might be of relevence to ironichttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/471815 | |
| 12:20:06 | iurygregory | sean-k-mooney, for which topic? | |
| 12:20:14 | sean-k-mooney | although that more about supproting the vlan trunk info for neutron trunk ports in genreal in the metadata | |
| 12:20:54 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: not for any of the current ones it just hat mentionign it because one of the use cases is "Once the BM server is booted up with Ironic, its networking interfaces can be | |
| 12:20:56 | sean-k-mooney | automatically configured and brought up." | |
| 12:21:34 | sean-k-mooney | iurygregory: i belive ye implented a feature very much like this on your side in the last release or twoo so this may now onlybe relevent to other virt drivers | |
| 12:21:40 | sean-k-mooney | just sharing for awareness | |
| 12:26:35 | iurygregory | ack | |
| 12:26:46 | iurygregory | tks sean-k-mooney | |
| 12:26:52 | iurygregory | fyi TheJulia ^ | |
| 12:49:41 | TheJulia | cardoe: w/r/t the spec sean mentioned, any n-g-s impact anticipated? | |
| 12:50:19 | cardoe | The vlan trunk? No | |
| 12:50:40 | cardoe | We run the patches and Mirantis runs the patches in prod for well over a year. | |
| 12:50:42 | TheJulia | but shouldn't there be switch configuration to represent it? | |
| 12:51:11 | cardoe | Of course. But this is about passing the trunk port data to the server so it knows how to configure its interfaces. | |
| 12:51:46 | sean-k-mooney | TheJulia: the vlan that is presented to the guest is a public atibute of neutorn turnk prot api meaning the end user get to choose it | |
| 12:51:46 | cardoe | This is just representing what’s in neutron to the server. | |
| 12:51:57 | sean-k-mooney | n-g-s would have to cofnigure that mapping on the switch port | |
| 12:52:12 | sean-k-mooney | but that seperate form passing the infor to the vm in the metadta | |
| 12:52:21 | cardoe | Exactly | |
| 12:54:12 | TheJulia | Okay, looks like there is already code there to handle trunks specifically | |
| 12:54:13 | cardoe | TheJulia: https://github.com/openstack/networking-generic-switch/blob/master/networking_generic_switch/trunk_driver.py | |
| 12:54:22 | cardoe | There's the implementation of n-g-s handling it already. | |
| 12:54:34 | TheJulia | yeah, I found that and in the mech driver, I just haven't had time and caffination to compeltely wrap my head around it so far this morning | |
| 12:54:57 | TheJulia | Anyway, thanks for the quick responses! | |
| 12:55:19 | cardoe | Yeah we implemented this ages ago in there. | |
| 12:55:38 | cardoe | Along with tests and tests for tempest which depend on the change to nova. | |
| 12:56:37 | cardoe | There’s additional tests for neutron as well and bug fixes for some corner cases with neutron and its trunk handling. | |
| 12:56:41 | TheJulia | ... yeah, I remember now | |
| 12:56:49 | TheJulia | I had to fix the tests from blindly running | |
| 12:57:22 | cardoe | Neutron accepted the change to tighten up the spec on their side as well. | |
| 12:58:49 | cardoe | It was a series of patches developed by Mirantis, Red Hat and another company. The unnamed company is who I pressed on their CTO to stop developing OpenStack downstream and get involved upstream. To pus their developers to join the projects. | |
| 13:00:48 | cardoe | I naively said I just got elected to the TC. Let me show you how it’s not hard to engage the community and get a benefit from that. I thought this has a spec and patches written by a group covering multiple companies. It’ll be easy. | |
| 13:02:45 | cardoe | I pointed the CTO to asks by projects for more people to get engaged. He told me their work just gets ignored. I thought I could get more developers to engage nova and neutron. | |
| 13:03:19 | cardoe | I was proven wrong. | |
| 13:42:41 | Uggla | Info: Start of PTG session in ~20mn | |
| 13:42:50 | Uggla | Topic: Discuss if the CPU comparison beetween src host and dst host can not be improved or is it still relevent ? | |
| 14:03:22 | nisha04 | uggla: Hi regarding the session schedule on etherpad. Japan morning with US folks also works for me. I can also join the original PTG timeslot (14:00 to 18:00 UTC) on Thu/Fri if the morning session is difficult. What do you think? | |
| 14:50:35 | nicolairuckel | How can I see which room I have to join for my topic? | |
| 14:50:44 | nicolairuckel | For the PTG | |
| 14:51:27 | nicolairuckel | Uggla, do I just join the Nova room? | |
| 14:51:39 | auniyal | https://ptg.opendev.org/ptg.html - | |
| 14:51:46 | auniyal | you can join here https://meetpad.opendev.org/nova-2026.1-ptg | |
| 14:52:11 | nicolairuckel | thanks! | |
| 14:52:21 | Uggla | nicolairuckel, yes please join using the link above from auniyal | |
| 14:52:38 | Uggla | We are still in the cinder/nova x team session. | |
| 15:41:39 | opendevreview | melanie witt proposed openstack/nova master: libvirt: add configuration option for volume AIO mode https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/964848 | |

| 16:05:17 | dansmith | Uggla: man, feels like this is not the best use of nova's time, eh? | |
| 16:07:37 | Uggla | dansmith it was not what was expected. | |
| 16:08:25 | Uggla | cinder should join later. | |
| 16:08:27 | dansmith | were there specific topics we were supposed to be getting discussed? because if so, we should probably decide if we're going to discuss those and if not, bail | |
| 16:08:32 | dansmith | cinder is on the call | |
| 16:08:41 | dansmith | this is all ironic->cinder discussion AFAICT | |
| 16:11:34 | Uggla | yep they have requested us too. But I agree. | |
| 16:11:56 | Uggla | I just hope this topic will stop soon to discuss ours. | |
| 16:15:58 | tkajinam | :-P | |
| 16:52:49 | gibi | I guess we break until the top of the hour | |
| 17:03:14 | bauzas | Uggla: where is the nova-neutron discussion ? | |
| 17:03:21 | bauzas | I joined the neutron room but I was alone | |
| 17:03:45 | Uggla | nop it is manilla one | |
| 17:03:48 | Uggla | on our room | |
| 17:03:57 | Uggla | bauzas ^ | |
| 17:25:08 | dansmith | Uggla: is there a link to the room somewhere? I'm missing it | |
| 17:26:09 | bauzas | Uggla: I think we could discuss the AZ-soft-anti-affinity topic from noonedeadpunk at the very beginning of the nova sessions tomorrow | |
| 17:26:30 | Uggla | dansmith: https://meetpad.opendev.org/oct2025-ptg-neutron | |
| 17:26:46 | bauzas | 2 hours for confidential computing topics seems to be good, but we could throw 30 mins from that and give it to the AZ thing | |
| 17:27:26 | Uggla | bauzas, I agree but more at the end. Because confidential computing owners are located in Japan | |
| 17:27:31 | dansmith | Uggla: thanks, might be good to have these all linked | |
| 17:27:56 | Uggla | dansmith, https://ptg.opendev.org/ptg.html | |
| 17:28:15 | dansmith | I know where to find them, I mean on the etherpad :) | |
| 17:28:32 | Uggla | dansmith, you are a bit hard with me today. :) | |
| 17:30:24 | dansmith | not intending to be | |
| 17:40:53 | noonedeadpunk | bauzas: Uggla would be great to get info about timing today, as it would highly influence my plans for tomorrow (need to have a 8h drive during tomorrow, so need to schedule it or stops) | |
