LiangLuHi08:03
yasufumFirst, I do not update topics on etherpad. Sorry08:04
*** tsukasasa has joined #openstack-meeting08:04
yasufum#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tacker-meeting08:04
yasufumThere are no topics for today on the etherpad08:05
yasufumbut, do you have any topic?08:05
LiangLuI have one topic to discuss, should I go on?08:06
yasufumyes, please08:06
LiangLuhttps://etherpad.opendev.org/p/tacker-meeting#1408:06
LiangLuL14~08:06
LiangLuIt is about a parameter changing in patch K8s-mgmtdriver08:07
yasufum#topic Existing code parameters changing in sample patch  K8s-mgmtdriver08:07
*** openstack changes topic to "Existing code parameters changing in sample patch K8s-mgmtdriver (Meeting topic: tacker)"08:07
LiangLuhttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tacker/+/771434/5/tacker/vnflcm/vnflcm_driver.py#50308:07
LiangLuhere is the patch08:07
LiangLuas :yoshito-ito mentioned in last meeting, this patch will published as a sample of tacker, due to cannot run FT on Zuul08:08
LiangLuHowever, this patch is adding new parameters in vnflcm_driver, to make sure logic in vnflcm interfaces methods runs well08:09
LiangLulike the code above, vim_connection_info is added in instantiate_end calling08:10
LiangLuFirstly I would like to confirm is it good to add parameters for sample patch use..08:11
yasufumis that all?08:14
LiangLuyes08:14
yasufumI cannot get your point actually…08:15
yasufumWe cannot merge the patch from yoshito-ito because of failrue of FT08:16
yasufumHowever, it will used as a sample instead.08:16
yasufumSo, your patch also should be merged for the samle, right?08:17
LiangLuI'm sorry... actually I am talking about yoshito-ito's patch, same to last meeting08:18
LiangLuthus, it will be used as a sample08:18
*** macz_ has joined #openstack-meeting08:19
LiangLuHowever, that patch is add new paramters from vnflcm_driver to be used in patch, thus, this sample patch is fixing existing code08:20
LiangLusorry for confusing... my point is should we avoid fixing existing code/parameters for sample patches?08:21
*** macz_ has quit IRC08:23
yasufumDo you mean the sample cannot run without your fixes, right?08:25
LiangLuyes, exactly08:25
yasufumIf so, it should be merged.08:25
LiangLuThanks for advise!08:26
LiangLuSo, I will upload patch for this vnflcm_driver parameter fix, separate from sample patch ,is that OK?08:27
yasufumThe reason of adopting sample code is we cannot deploy network configs on Zuul env, and it is not related to tacker’s changes.08:28
yasufumSo we do not need to consider a sample or not.08:28
yasufumIncluding as a sample is a workaround currently, and it will be merged with FT hopefully.08:29
LiangLuGot it, thanks for advise again08:30
yasufumthanks!08:30
yasufumWe can go on to the next topic.08:32
yasufumIs there any other topic?08:32
uehaContinuing from last week, could you review the cnf scale patch.08:33
uehahttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tacker/+/76578608:33
uehaHowever, I am getting a RETRY_LIMIT error in FunctionalT after rebase...08:34
yasufumOK, can you give us your topic shortly for setting “topic”?08:34
takahashi-tscYes, if no more topics, I'd like to confirm current Zuul status... Almost patch are failed with RETRY_Limit..08:35
uehaZuul FT RETRY_LIMIT erorr08:35

*** openstack changes topic to "Zuul FT RETRY_LIMIT erorr (Meeting topic: tacker)"08:35

uehaIt seems to be occurring in other patches as well, does anyone know any solution?08:35
*** tsukasasa has quit IRC08:35
uehaWhen I built it in the local environment, there was no particular problem.08:36
ueha.08:36
yasufumI have noticed the problem, but cannot find the cause yet.08:37
*** rpittau|afk is now known as rpittau08:37
yasufumit looks something happens while db migration of nova on controller node08:39
*** rcernin has quit IRC08:40
uehayes.08:40
uehaI suspect that the following commits from devstack, which was merged on 2/11, may have affected it.08:40

*** masazumi-ota has joined #openstack-meeting08:44

yasufumThanks08:49
takahashi-tscYes, I'd like to continue to investigate.08:49
uehaOK, I will also continue to search for a solution. thanks!08:50
yasufumIs there any topic, or asking for review?08:51
uehaI also posted a patch for cnf heal yesterday. https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tacker/+/77565608:51

rbuddenTime splicing here as well, but it’s been too long, so I wanted to at least lurk!21:05
martial_not meetings but multiple terminals :)21:06
jandersg'day team!21:06
oneswigThe Baremetal SIG has taken the initiative with a nice video.  Back in January there was a thought we could do something similar.21:06
*** e0ne has joined #openstack-meeting21:06
oneswigHey janders, nice to see you21:06
martial_exiting topics for today's agenda21:06
oneswigWell I wonder what SIG members might be able to present on in a similar manner to help raise the SIG's profile.21:08
oneswigUser stories perhaps, or specific pieces of tech and method21:08
* janders is quickly grabbing a coffee, just woke up21:08
oneswigI was showing a work colleague the SIG's book yesterday - reminded me how cool that was as a group effort21:12
trandlesI should have more real world use case stories later this year, now that we're _finally_ getting a production deployment.21:13
oneswigtrandles: that's great to hear.21:13
trandleswe have multiple projects in flight that will take advantage of this infrastructure21:13
oneswigHow have things progressed in the last couple of weeks?21:13
rbuddenWe should have our new cloud Explore up and running this year, so use cases, and possibly some migration war stories of combining two clouds21:13
oneswigrbudden: migrating users and projects from one cloud to another?21:14
trandleswe just blew up a fairly fundamental road block on our deployment last week, so progress had been slow but will accelerate now21:14
rbuddenoneswig: yes, migration two OpenStack clouds into a single consolidate cloud21:14
rbudden*consolidated21:14
oneswig#link priteau came across this a while back and it looks handy (but haven't tried it myself) https://github.com/os-migrate/os-migrate21:15
trandlesI'm looking forward to learning from Mike's upcoming deployment at Indiana. Also, Chris Layton should be doing at least one new deployment in the coming weeks.21:15
rbuddenInteresting, I’ll have to take a look at this21:15
rbuddenThanks oneswig !21:15
oneswig+121:16
trandlesChris is at Oak Ridge...forgot to mention that21:16
oneswigtrandles: is ORNL doing an Ironic deploy like yours?21:16
trandlesI think ORNL will be RHOSP 16.1 like mine21:17
oneswigNice work.21:17
trandlesMike is planning to do everything IPv6, so there might be lots to come from that work. I wish he was here...21:17
oneswigWe have a project with a /28 public IPV4 allocation - so that'll be mostly IPV6 as well21:18
oneswigNot quite getting started on that part yet.  But perhaps it won't be the last machine where I have about as many IPV4 addresses as I have fingers and toes21:19
rbuddenWe’re currently doing some IPv6. It’s a bit gnarly, but functional. I’ll be curious to see Mike’s work as well.21:19
*** belmoreira has quit IRC21:20
*** rcernin has joined #openstack-meeting21:20
oneswigI do wonder if IPV6 is hugely neglected in network security21:20
oneswig(I'm sure not by you guys)21:21
trandlesoneswig: our network security plan actually says "disable IPv6"21:21
oneswigthat solves the issue21:22

oneswigtrandles: had some discussion recently on the ramdisk driver.  Do you know of other sites using it?21:24
trandlesoneswig: I do not21:24
oneswigAh, too bad.  Let's keep an eye out.21:24
trandlesThere may be some news RE: kexec deploy in the next week or two.21:25
oneswigThat would be good.  One of our team was raising earlier the provisioning cycle times were ~35 minutes on a bare metal system.  Anything to help with that is good - although does it only work in flat networking?21:27
jandersthat's a lot of awesome projects going on! :)21:27
trandlesoneswig: I can't answer that question at this point. That's a Julia question probably.21:28
trandlesall of my ironic stuff with clusters is no-op networking21:29
*** rcernin has quit IRC21:29
janderstrandles - kexec -  awesome!21:29
jandersoneswig with 35 minute deploys, how much of this is due to reboots between BIOS/RAID config etc?21:29
jandersfast track, kexec (and soon nvme cleaning) can help rapid node turn around, but hardware config might not be keeping up with that pace :/21:30
oneswigI don't know at this stage, just heard it this afternoon.  It might possibly be a dependency in Terraform causing nodes to be deployed in phases.  I'm speculating21:30
jandersI'm just thinking aloud: for low-latency high-turnover provisioning, it would likely make sense to come up with uniform BIOS/RAID/... config and simplify deploy and cleaning steps as much as possible, to avoid reboots21:31
oneswigThis kit is old.  NVMEs are a mirage on the horizon21:31
oneswigjanders: now you're caffeinated, shall we move on?21:32
jandersoneswig yes! :)21:32

jandersoneswig this brings memories... hard to believe how much the World changed since (intl travel = foreign concept :/)21:35
oneswigOver here we've been wrangling for ages with ways to improve the flexibility in systems mixing virt and bare metal21:35
oneswigjanders: sadly true21:35
oneswigjohnthetubaguy sends apologies, he was hoping to come along but was feeling rough this evening.21:36
oneswigBut I can tell you he's followed similar principles to SuperCloud in a couple of recent projects requiring mixed workloads of HPC and virt21:37
oneswig#link CSD3 and UM6P systems https://www.openstack.org/videos/summits/virtual/Lessons-learnt-expanding-Cambridge-Universitys-CSD3-Supercomputer-with-OpenStack21:37

*** rcernin has quit IRC21:39
oneswigThe major difference in approach I think relates to Ethernet vs IB networking.  Working with Ethernet requires more consideration for switchport configs.  IB IIRC had considerations of its own...21:39

jandersat the time of the Denver demo I had some little hacky manual cleanup to handle that IIRC21:40
jandersI remember discussing this in the Nova PTG and there were some fixes on the way, but never got to deploying a solution fully based on Nova handling appearing/disappearing hypervisors without out-of-nova manual tweaks21:41
oneswigjanders: I'm not aware of issues there.  The major piece of work is in bringing nodes in and out of the Ansible inventory for OpenStack service deployment.21:41
*** jmasud has quit IRC21:42
jandersRight. Nice! I was always a fan of keeping a singificant proportion of complexity/logics in the deployment&management playbooks instead of tweaking OpenStack code too much, so all for that21:42
jandersoneswig what are the main challenges with ethernet multi-tenant networking?21:42
jandersI was hoping to have dual IB+eth SDN, but firmware bugs in CX6 prevented that and then I moved on to my current role, so I never got to work on it21:43
oneswigThere have been issues with changing port config efficiently for multi-node deployments.  For the networking-generic-switch driver this led to development of better batching of transactions so that a rack could be provisioned without 52 individual port operations21:45
jandersoneswig what switching did you use if I may ask?21:46
oneswigFor hypervisors, typically they are members of several VLANs.  That config is applied outside of Ironic.21:46
oneswigCumulus in a couple of cases and Arista in another21:47
jandersunfortunately I have to say these are all the same old problems :/21:47
janders(and some of this seems inherent to BM SDN scalability in general - I've seen some of this on IB)21:47
jandersI ended up wiring up to four ports per node so that I can get a node into up to four different networks even though trunking wasnt working21:48
jandersI was lucky I had all that kit sitting around from past projects, so cost wasnt an issue21:48
oneswigTo be fair I think Ironic is developing significantly.  A lot of progress has been made in the last few years.  The first time we attempted this in production at scale, it was a lot harder!21:49
jandersand BM SDN getting out of sync has been a concern across many solutions21:49
oneswigjanders: That's certainly true.21:49
jandersare those improvements happening in Ironic itself, or in Neutron & drivers?21:50
oneswigProgress on all fronts, but especially with Ironic's capabilities21:51
janderswould you be able to point me to specific changes? I'd be interested to read up (I might have missed some of these)21:52
jandersthis is great news21:52
jandersregarding port config batching, are the switches able to do this on a port range basis?21:53
*** jmasud has joined #openstack-meeting21:53
jandersI've seen cases where that was a bottleneck also21:53
*** e0ne has joined #openstack-meeting21:53
oneswigHere's a couple - https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/networking-generic-switch/+/743269 - cumulus support for NGS21:53
jandersI wonder if the driver is inefficient because of catering for the lowest common denominator21:53
oneswigAnd https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/networking-generic-switch/+/743283 - batching transactions (think this one is yet to merge)21:54
jandersah, different repo - this is why I missed it21:54
jandersis there an IRC channel for this project? I'd assume so?21:54
oneswigjanders: the networking drivers are dumb.  For example, they save the config after every operation.21:55
jandersouch!21:55
janderss/supercomputing/supercongestion....21:55
jandersbeing mindful of time, I wanted to throw one more topic into the mix21:56
oneswigRight... so without some awareness the Neutron port wiring suddenly becomes a lengthy serialised process21:56
oneswigjanders: go ahead, hope it's a small one :-)21:56
jandershow would container-based ephemeral hypervisors fit into your use cases?21:56
jandersits big but we can just touch on it and continue another time :)21:56
jandersas you may know RHAT is pouring a lot of effort into KNI (Kubernetes Native Infrastructure)21:57
oneswiglike kube-virt?21:57
jandersKubevirt is also related to that21:57
jandersspot on oneswig21:57
janderssimilar end game, different implementation21:57
jandersif majority of workloads on the system are containerised I think it is a strong option21:58
janders(if not, SuperCloud may be more flexible still)21:58
jandersbut I wonder what your thoughts are?21:58
*** e0ne has quit IRC21:58
janderswe can add this topic to agenda for the meeting in two weeks time if you like :)21:59
jandersmy bad for not raising this earlier, though I find SDN discussions fascinating!21:59
oneswigIt hasn't been a consideration so far.  We certainly have users with a high-performance kubernetes focus, but I wouldn't plumb our control plane networks into that world without thinking about it...22:00
jandersthis is a great answer, thank you22:00
oneswigjanders: same time 2 weeks hence?22:00
jandersyes!22:00
jandersthank you all22:00
oneswigSounds good to me22:00
