15:47:08 dansmith leave it linked in the LP blueprint though so we have an easy reference for it
15:50:32 Uggla Hi dansmith, no it is ok. I'll approve the BP if it is not.
15:50:48 dansmith Uggla: okay I thought we were good to go.. yeah if you could approve I'd appreciate it
15:57:08 gibi ohh cool, then I can upgrade my vote

16:13:39 razoff Hi there !
16:13:39 razoff At my company I developed a backup solution (through a proxy instance) for openstack instances and I have one question for you.
16:13:39 razoff I've been struggling to run efficient incremental backups.
16:13:39 razoff Is it possible in any way to access dirty blocks of volume mounted on an instance through openstack API ?
16:13:40 razoff I am asking this on the Nova channel because I noticed that you are using libvirt for virtualization and I know that it is possible to get dirty blocks from that lib.
16:13:43 razoff Thank you in advance !
16:20:21 dansmith Uggla: can you do the needful? https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/libvirt-parallel-migrate
16:26:09 Uggla dansmith, I think that's ok
16:28:28 dansmith Uggla: oh, did you change it to approved? I was looking at "approver" and it is still empty so maybe I missed that it flipped state, thanks
16:28:55 dansmith ah I see the comment in the whiteboard too.. I'm not subscribed so I didn't get the detailed notification
16:30:46 Uggla dansmith, should be fully completed, I have added also that this is a specless BP.
16:31:20 dansmith thanks

#openstack-nova - 2025-11-10
07:15:30 vsaienko Hello nova team, I'm checking VDPA on Mellanox connect6-dx card, and found that it works only when mac address on VDPA device matches VM mac address. Currently nova does not update mac address of neutron port (like its done with sriov). Am I missing something or how its intended to work?
08:53:55 gibi aand we have a full green nova-next run with native threaded nova-compute. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/965467/11 (There is a lot of cleanup work left but the direction seems good)

09:53:34 razoff Hi there !
09:53:34 razoff At my company I developed a backup solution (through a proxy instance) for openstack instances and I have one question for you.

09:53:38 razoff Thank you in advance !
11:59:59 gibi razoff: OpenStack does not provide such APIS
12:04:11 razoff @gibi Thanks for the answer is there any plans to add such capabilities in the future ?
12:09:11 gibi I haven't heard about such plans. Also this sounds like a pretty low level API so it is not really fits into nova's high level APIs i.e. starting and stopping VMs.
12:10:03 gibi razoff: if you can integrate with libvirt to get it and such interaction does not affect the state of the domain, then my suggestion is to try to integrate with libvirt
12:10:33 gibi if you need information or action from nova to help such integration then that can be raise
12:28:50 sean-k-mooney razoff: change block tracking is more or less unplanned to be supported in the future
12:29:18 sean-k-mooney razoff: we have discussed the idea of have a proxy server to explore it and apis but its unlikely to proceed
13:01:16 razoff sean-k-mooney: Alright thanls a lot for the answers

13:36:55 vsaienko sean-k-mooney: hello, I've seen you was involved in VDPA implementation maybe you can help? I'm checking VDPA on Mellanox connect6-dx card, and found that it works only when mac address on VDPA device matches VM mac address. Currently nova does not update mac address of neutron port (like its done with sriov). Am I missing something or how its intended to work?
13:38:48 sean-k-mooney vsaienko: correc tthat is becasue updating the mac is ment ot be done by qemu
13:39:43 sean-k-mooney this used to be done automaticaly and memonox broke the kernel driver compatiablity at some ponit when they added the ablity to set the mac viat the vdpa tool
13:40:04 sean-k-mooney https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240617094314-mutt-send-email-mst@kernel.org/T/
13:40:51 sean-k-mooney is related but nova intentionally does not use that as its libvirts/qemus role to set that. we set the mac in the xml
13:42:11 sean-k-mooney https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-7298 may be the rhle tracker for this https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-7298
13:45:43 vsaienko sean-k-mooney: hm.. it does not look like qemu/libvirt can set mac address on vdpa device by itsown. At least when I create VDPA device without specifying MAC and later when starting VM (with mac from openstack) traffic simply no passing. And vdpa device config shows not mac on vdpa device.
13:46:35 opendevreview Max proposed openstack/nova master: performance: reduce calls to libvirt / add caching https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/922855
13:46:41 vsaienko there are some open patches to qemu but they not yet merged https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/qemu-devel/list/?series=453198
13:49:50 sean-k-mooney vsaienko: right so as i said this was a kernel driver regression where they broke userspace
13:49:52 sean-k-mooney https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OSP-31614
13:50:38 sean-k-mooney orginally when we intergated vdpa it 3as not possibel to set the mac or queue via anwty8in other then qemu
13:51:05 sean-k-mooney and it "just worked" at the time
14:16:15 vsaienko many thanks sean-k-mooney
15:05:11 Uggla Hi elodilles, could you have a look at 966518: Add Nova deadlines to the official schedule | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/966518

15:28:38 yuval_ yo nova wizards
15:28:45 yuval_ whats up
15:29:05 yuval_ I have a question which is simple but may have a complicate answer
15:29:54 yuval_ I want to edit my vm xml to have some custom properties, then create 5 more vm's with the same xml - is that possible?
15:30:26 yuval_ bauzas: ?
15:30:43 yuval_ eharney: what you think?
15:33:02 dansmith yuval_: no, specifically disallowed and nova will overwrite your properties the next time it has a chance
15:34:16 yuval_ dansmith: what my options?
15:34:31 yuval_ I need fork nova and patch the driver.py?
15:35:40 Uggla Info: Nova meeting in ~30mn
15:41:51 elodilles Uggla: hi o/ yepp, will review it ASAP :)
