| 14:26:58 | LarsErikP | hello! I've asked this before, but I would really love to have nova >= 31.1.0 in UCA. especially to get this fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2098496 | |
| 14:27:13 | LarsErikP | who do we talk to in order to get that going? | |
| 14:29:28 | dansmith | someone at canonical I imagine, but not here | |
| 14:31:57 | LarsErikP | right.. hmm | |
| 15:15:32 | haleyb | LarsErikP: so you're asking about Epoxy? it's going EOL in April so doubtful to get a point release before that imo. we would typically do an SRU for a single change, but i haven't seen that one reported by a customer | |
| 15:17:50 | LarsErikP | I've tried reach out to jamespage over on #ubuntu-server at least. We have just upgraded from Caracal to Epoxy, and encountered this... | |
| 15:18:13 | haleyb | LarsErikP: james no longer works at canonical... | |
| 15:18:17 | LarsErikP | oh... | |
| 15:18:34 | LarsErikP | he was listed here :P https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/SRU/reference/exception-OpenStack-Updates/ | |
| 15:19:02 | LarsErikP | I guess, don't trust stuff you read on the internet | |
| 15:19:41 | haleyb | i think only two of the people in that list still work here | |
| 15:19:50 | LarsErikP | who? (A) | |
| 15:20:32 | haleyb | well, i don't know who icey is to start | |
| 15:21:55 | LarsErikP | james is the only one of them, that's actually present on #ubuntu-server right now :P | |
| 15:24:41 | haleyb | right, and corey is at mozilla | |
| 15:25:06 | haleyb | like i said, for epoxy there won't be much desire | |
| 16:36:32 | melwitt | jkulik: thanks for the reminder, I will try to look soon | |
| 18:33:42 | opendevreview | Lajos Katona proposed openstack/nova master: Use SDK for Neutron networks https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/928022 | |
| 20:07:09 | Zhan[m] | while checking the live migration related stuff, I noticed that there are some features/params that are available on libvirt but not yet available in nova (e.g., additional auto converge params, compressions, etc.). I see recently that the parallel connection feature was added in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/955784, so I'm thinking about just adding all features that are available on libvirt to nova. do we have plans | |
| 20:07:10 | Zhan[m] | regarding this, or if not then maybe I can pick this up? thanks :D | |
| 20:28:04 | dansmith | just because it's in libvirt doesn't necessarily mean it should be in nova, and also, we won't generally add things that are in versions of libvirt that are not yet in an enterprise distro | |
| 20:28:31 | dansmith | best thing would be to identify important missing and relevant things and write a small spec explaining how they would be configured and what benefit they bring | |
| 20:45:30 | Zhan[m] | make sense. in terms of the versions, I'm assuming I should check https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/libvirt-distro-support-matrix.html? | |
| 21:11:09 | dansmith | sure, but those are old, so best to look in the code to see what current master is currently targeting (which may be currently still set to the previous release) | |

| 21:26:23 | gmaan | melwitt: commented on vtpm 'deployment' security change ( 942021), am i missing something on testing the no-vtpm to/from vtpm resize ? they should be supported right? | |
| 21:29:30 | melwitt | gmaan: cool thanks, I will look. basically all resizes are supported _except_ resizes that would need a change in secret ownership. 'deployment' secret owner is the nova service user, 'host' and 'user' secret owner is the normal user | |
| 21:31:21 | melwitt | gmaan: there is a patch at the end of the series which enables resize from TPM 'deployment' => TPM 'host' or 'user' and TPM 'host' or 'user' => TPM 'deployment'. it's just initially not supported bc it is a lot of code and I suspect will be the most difficult part to review | |
| 21:35:32 | gmaan | melwitt: I think that is ok but the test I pointed in review is asserting that the no-vtpm <-> 'deployement' is unsupported unless i missed to understand the tetst | |
| 21:39:10 | melwitt | gmaan: ok I think the confusion is the difference between "instance has no TPM" and "instance has a TPM but secret_security=None bc the user didn't specify one" | |
| 21:39:52 | melwitt | gmaan: if the instance has a TPM and the user did not specify a secret security type (i.e. secret_security=None) then they get the default policy of 'user' | |
| 21:41:15 | melwitt | so TPM 'user' <=> TPM 'deployment' is not allowed for now. no TPM <=> TPM 'deployment' is allowed | |
| 21:43:41 | Zhan[m] | dansmith: spot checking some features, the newest one I found (zlib/zstd compression) is in the NEXT_MIN_{LIBVIRT/QEMU}_VERSION of 2025.2, and it is also in Ubuntu Noble and Debian Trixie so I think it's cool. will run some tests to see how effective they are though. | |
| 21:43:46 | dansmith | melwitt: ohh.. confusing | |
| 21:45:34 | gmaan | melwitt: ohk, i missed to see 'hw:tpm_version' in extra spec of initial server creation. | |
| 21:45:38 | melwitt | yeah. not sure if test names can be improved to something less confusing. at a minimum I could rewrite the docstrings to say more clearly if a test is about TPM <=> TPM vs no TPM <=> TPM | |
| 21:47:52 | gmaan | yeah, that will be helpful, I think renaming test to test_resize_vtpm_server_secret_security_deployment_* can help (*_server* -> _vtpm_server*) | |
| 21:49:02 | melwitt | sure, I can do those. thanks for suggesting | |
| 21:49:25 | gmaan | thanks | |

| 08:52:47 | zigo | Hi there! | |
| 08:52:47 | zigo | Has any of you already encounter this ? | |
| 08:52:47 | zigo | https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/2138923 | |
| 08:59:27 | gibi | zigo: does not ring a bell to me | |
| 09:14:52 | obre | Hi! Are there any chance to get this fix in the G-release? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/916409 | |
| 09:15:00 | obre | It seems to be 90% there | |
| 09:15:01 | obre | ? | |
| 09:16:26 | gibi | obre: I see dansmith has some unanswered comment in the patch. I think the next step there is to handle that | |
| 10:37:46 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: i have only seen that if there is a qemu crash | |
| 10:38:40 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: i.e. the isntance was not found because the domain terminated following the crash | |
| 10:38:53 | sean-k-mooney | it might happen other ways btu that the only time i have seen that | |
| 10:53:49 | opendevreview | Takashi Kajinami proposed openstack/nova stable/2024.2: libvirt: Skip unsupported firmware types https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/974409 | |
| 11:20:53 | zigo | tkajinam: What's your patch about ? UEFI variables ? | |
| 11:23:01 | sean-k-mooney | zigo: are you askign about https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/974409 | |
| 11:23:08 | zigo | yeah | |
| 11:24:03 | sean-k-mooney | its a temory fix to make sure the firmware that is selected by nova is compatibel with the vm devition if your using the stateless firmware option | |
| 11:24:10 | sean-k-mooney | so yes it for uefi guest | |
| 11:24:27 | sean-k-mooney | we are planning to delegate this logic back to libvirt now that it supprots it | |
| 11:24:44 | sean-k-mooney | i.e. allowign libvirt to selct the correct firmware based on the funcitonaltiy you have requested | |
| 11:26:17 | sean-k-mooney | for example if you request secure boot we have to select the secure boot enabeld ovmf uefi firmware or it wont work i belvie the opiste it ture as well if you have it disabled then we need to use the non secure boot version | |
| 11:27:20 | sean-k-mooney | when you enabel stateless vms for confidental compute you similarly need to select the correct firmware file. this is fixing that in nova before we adtop the libvirt feature so it can potitrally be backported | |
| 11:28:06 | sean-k-mooney | well its already being backported but you get the point we exended nova logic before riping it out beacuse we are not backporting the use of the new libvirt feature | |
| 11:29:22 | zigo | Ok, thanks for explaining. | |
| 11:56:31 | opendevreview | Merged openstack/nova stable/2024.2: Fix bug 2000069 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/970634 | |
| 12:01:57 | DominikDanelski[m] | sean-k-mooney: Sorry, could you go through my replies to your comments in https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/969251?tab=comments ? I think it's very close to being merged after I addressed your questions there, I hope. | |
