| 16:16:40 | nicolairuckel | Even though you scared me a bit. For a few minutes I thought I'd have to go back to work on that after telling everyone it was done and merged. :D | |
| 16:16:45 | dansmith | heh | |
| 18:21:59 | gmaan | does anyone knows why we are keeping nova/keymgr/conf_key_mgr.py ? https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/keymgr/conf_key_mgr.py | |
| 18:22:33 | gmaan | I think it is only for testing and because barbican ins not installed by default in devstack, devstack also use this as key_manager backendhttps://github.com/openstack/devstack/blob/master/lib/nova#L460C23-L460C34 | |
| 18:23:47 | gmaan | melwitt: ^^ maybe you know, as enabling the barbican in vTPM jobs modify the key_manager backend to barbican which actually test the secrets store/get etc https://github.com/openstack/barbican/blob/master/devstack/lib/barbican#L94 | |
| 18:24:48 | gmaan | any other place we use this fixed_key backend (nova/keymgr/conf_key_mgr.py) then testing in unit/functional or devstack testing? | |
| 18:25:29 | gmaan | or stephenfin ^^ as you modified it last (though 3 years ago :)) | |
| 18:42:31 | stephenfin | gmaan: yeah, it's purely for testing. I think I had plans to move it to castellan (e.g. castellan.test) but there were a few references in other projects, as you've seen | |
| 18:44:04 | gmaan | stephenfin: ack, thanks. that is enough information for now. but ++ on moving | |
| 20:00:29 | melwitt | Uggla, gmaan: I noticed a pending spec amendment patch and thought it should merge first before the "spec move" patch. it will cause a merge conflict in the "spec move" patch, sorry about that https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/978144 | |
| 20:01:51 | gmaan | melwitt: oh, there is another one. I thought vtpm amendment was the only one left | |
| 20:02:31 | melwitt | yeah, I noticed it :/ | |
| 20:02:50 | melwitt | alternatively we could move the specs and then make the amendment have to update | |
| 20:03:44 | gmaan | as amenedment one is in gate, maybe let's merge that and Uggla can rebase the spec move one | |
| 20:05:55 | melwitt | I thought it should go first and then second guessed it. | |
| 20:06:22 | gmaan | yeah | |
| 20:07:31 | melwitt | I did not expect it to merge conflict bc the spec move is just renaming files. but I guess the file content at the time matters too | |

| 09:03:05 | rmnijgh | Hi! It came to my attention that nova live migrate also calls the periodic task update_available_resource() in the post_live_migration... | |
| 09:03:44 | rmnijgh | However, this tasks can take a few minutes. And in those minutes the migration task is still seen as running, even though the migration is already finished. | |
| 09:04:21 | rmnijgh | Is this necessary to run at post_live_migrate? Since this task already runs periodically (I believe every 2 minutes by default) | |
| 09:05:16 | rmnijgh | Not having this function at post_live_migrate completes migration tasks significantly faster | |
| 09:49:06 | rmnijgh | I've just found a bug report with the exact problem I am experiecing #2085709 :D | |

| 10:50:15 | sean-k-mooney | rmnijgh: it calls it because it was oen of the ways we heal the resouces asyncornsly, it runs every 5 mintues by defualt. it used to be used to move pci device form claimed to allocated. although on newer release i belive we do that seperatly | |
| 10:51:51 | sean-k-mooney | i dont think that call shoudl be needed in antelop+ possibly a little eailer but | |
| 10:52:04 | sean-k-mooney | we have not exaimed if it can be remvoed again | |
| 11:05:53 | rmnijgh | I can confirm this bug report #2085709, we have a large kolla-ansible openstack cluster. And nodes with 50+ instances take ages to migrate (or even timeout), but also the regular periodic task update_available_resource takes ages. Can the reviews in this report perhaps get review priority? I think I'm able to make changes in these two commits when neccesary. | |

| 13:59:27 | zigo | Building Nova backport to Trixie leads me to these unit test failures: | |
| 13:59:27 | zigo | https://paste.opendev.org/show/bgO4WRXAvotrU1s66cx8/ | |
| 13:59:27 | zigo | sean-k-mooney: Does some of them ring a bell? | |
| 14:04:51 | zigo | As much as I can see, I have 5 types of failures. | |
| 14:07:41 | nicolairuckel | elodilles: Thanks for restarting the pipeline. The same test failed a few times already though so I'm wondering if that's a bigger issue with the CI. And when it doesn't fail, another (unrelated) test fails. | |
| 14:14:21 | elodilles | nicolairuckel: i was having the same feeling - that something introduced a bug in tempest (?) - but then i saw a successful job run on stable/2025.2 branch, so it's either got fixed, or it's disappeared somehow o:) so i gave it another try now :) | |
| 14:19:19 | zigo | The aquire_lock thingy looks like probably comming from the fasterners version, I'm fixing that. | |
| 14:26:00 | nicolairuckel | Fingers are crossed that it works now. :D | |
| 14:27:00 | elodilles | nicolairuckel: grenade-skip-level passed already ( https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/337549cbec7f480a8f36bba5cd23f208 ) now only the others should do the same. fingers crossed, indeed ;) | |

| 14:56:44 | zigo | Ok, that fixed 10 unit tests, now only got the oslo.middleware api-paste.ini loading thingy to fix ... (plus one unit test that looks like non-deterministic). | |
| 15:05:28 | zigo | The healthcheck thing is probably due to my own patch. | |
| 15:11:48 | zigo | Yeah, all is passing now. :P | |
| 15:13:11 | zigo | Any reason why oslo.policy was taken away from nova.conf namespace list when generating it? | |
| 15:13:22 | zigo | Is this handled in nova.conf namespace? | |

| 15:32:52 | worteks-thidem | Hey, I try to propose a PR for rotatation rate in Libvirt, I know it is a old subject. But I have few applications use this informations to make a choice on specific scheduler. My PR is here : https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/979693.
