#openstack-nova - 2026-03-09
13:49:39 sean-k-mooney but nice to have rahter then mvp
13:50:21 sean-k-mooney cardoe: ill see if i can get to that again this week. i dont think it has chagne much since i was orginally +2
13:52:37 cardoe literally not a character has changed since it was +2. The only thing that changed is the version its targeting.
13:53:26 cardoe I agree there's ambiguity but the ambiguity that folks have an issue with is fields that currently exist in the metadata and the current spec is ambiguous.
13:53:34 sean-k-mooney well litrally that not quite ture https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/471815/10..12/specs/2026.2/approved/expose-vlan-trunking.rst but they were just typo/spelling/grammer fixes like adding puncution
13:54:31 sean-k-mooney cardoe: the reason im not restoreing my +2 is i have not re read it to see if any of the changes we have made in the last 2 cycles break any of the assumations or behvioir
13:54:41 cardoe That's fine.
13:54:54 sean-k-mooney cardoe: im not aware of any of the top of my head
13:55:12 cardoe I just don't want to be on the hook to fix ambiguity in the current metadata format in this spec.
13:55:29 cardoe I'm all for fixing the ambiguity but that's something different because that's touching a different part of the metadata.
13:55:29 sean-k-mooney right i dont think you are
13:55:39 cardoe So I would do that in a follow on.
13:56:07 cardoe Cause that would involve changing the "eth" type (I might be wrong on the name but whatever the regular network interface name is).
13:57:12 sean-k-mooney your fering to modifying the value of link to somethign that make sense to the guest?
13:57:39 sean-k-mooney or how we ferencie things in the id fields?
13:58:24 sean-k-mooney cardoe: i will not that ironic decieed to implemnt this on there side last cycle or the one before and they now rewite this contnet and use the uuids i belive
14:01:15 cardoe Well the feedback I got was that "id" exposed hypervisor specific info to the guest since it did {"id": "tap143d8632"} but that's how the libvirt driver works today. The only part of the spec that makes mention of that is that we use the id to say "this VLAN is on that interface"
14:01:53 cardoe Folks didn't like that the spec had {"vlan_link": "tap143d8632"} but that's literally just the reference back.
14:02:02 sean-k-mooney ya so that specifc calue is coming form neutron
14:02:07 cardoe I'm all for changing the value "tap143d8632" but that's a follow on.
14:02:13 cardoe Make sense?
14:02:16 sean-k-mooney and its the name of the device on the host which wont be visable on the guest
14:02:26 sean-k-mooney yep
14:03:05 sean-k-mooney that is fine what im tellign you is that if your primay use case is for ironic they now add some of this info to the metadata and mofiy what nova returns
14:03:24 sean-k-mooney and i belvie htey brok compatiyblity when they did that and change the value of it
14:03:39 cardoe My primary use case is Ironic but it's still a valid libvirt use case (honestly when I worked on Xen this would have been a great use case there as well)
14:03:43 sean-k-mooney that does not mean we shoudl not do this feature without changing that initally for neutorn in general
14:03:52 sean-k-mooney and then we can decied on normalisting the value seperately
14:04:33 cardoe Yep. I'll work with ya on a follow up.
14:06:05 sean-k-mooney https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/ironic/+/946677 that provides part of the info right, the mtu specificly bu tyour going beyond that and providign the vlan subport configution based on neutron trunks
14:11:03 Uggla elodilles sorry I missed your earlier message. Can we hold the patch for now. There is something to discuss in today's meeting.
14:11:42 elodilles Uggla: sure, no problem, i was just asking to not forget about it o:)
14:26:43 elodilles Uggla: also note, that RC1 patches are proposed for nova and placement on openstack/releases repository o:)
14:27:04 Uggla elodilles 👍
14:32:36 sean-k-mooney cardoe: +1 on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/471815 can you confirm or document what type:ovs means in the metadata that really my main open quetion
14:44:01 cardoe I can remove that. I believe the author intended for that to be clear that was on the hypervisor side it was being trunked.
15:02:50 sean-k-mooney well i think you need to represent the guest interface that the vlans are commign form i just dont know what the type shoudl be
15:04:20 sean-k-mooney we just need ot docuemtn what will be generated and what the expected behvior is
15:13:06 sean-k-mooney cardoe: ok i have foudn the anser sort of in the schema
15:21:43 Uggla Reminder: Nova meeting in ~40mn
15:26:42 ralonsoh sean-k-mooney, ping me tomorrow about the vif type virtual thing
15:26:59 ralonsoh in a nutshell, we use it for the OVN virtual ports
15:27:01 sean-k-mooney ralonsoh: i think it may be buggy
15:27:06 ralonsoh why?
15:27:09 sean-k-mooney or logiclly incorrect
15:27:37 sean-k-mooney well how do you handel the same ip beigin allowed to fail over between 2 vms
15:27:44 sean-k-mooney where im using vrrp or somiler in the guest
15:28:14 ralonsoh sean-k-mooney, I don´t get your point
15:28:15 sean-k-mooney we cant assuem that allowed_address_pair values are uniquce on a network or subnet
15:28:26 ralonsoh yes
15:28:34 sean-k-mooney so we can assuem the port is bound to only one host
15:28:41 sean-k-mooney but its fien we can chat tomorrow
15:28:54 ralonsoh yeah, I need to go to the doctor in some minutes, sorry
15:28:56 sean-k-mooney ill read the bug report
15:29:13 ralonsoh add any comment there, please
15:29:20 ralonsoh I'll check it tomorrow morning

15:56:40 Uggla Hi elodilles
15:57:02 Uggla Do you have a specific deadline for RC1 ? Is Thursday ok ?

15:58:01 elodilles Uggla: thursday is OK
15:58:08 elodilles that is the official deadline
15:58:33 elodilles if you want to include something that is not yet merged, then add a -1 to the patch and we can wait a bit
15:58:45 Uggla elodilles ok it is what I thought, but I'd like to crosscheck.
15:58:51 elodilles +1
15:59:07 Uggla We will discuss that in the meeting.
15:59:17 elodilles ACK :)
16:00:17 tkajinam I always feel I get extra bonus when people are talking about "deadline"
