16:06:29 <Sukhdev> #topic: Agenda
16:06:48 <Sukhdev> I have not prepared any agenda today and wanted to keep it open
16:07:15 <Sukhdev> We will discuss things based upon the attendees
16:07:23 <Sukhdev> #topic: Announcements
16:07:41 <Sukhdev> rkukura is out today and will not be attending today's meeting
16:07:54 <trevormc> o/ sorry im lat
16:07:56 <trevormc> e
16:08:02 <Sukhdev> We'll keep the meeting short
16:08:08 <trevormc> yeah not much from me.
16:08:09 <Sukhdev> trevormc : hi
16:08:33 <sadasu> trevormc: carver is here
16:08:45 <Sukhdev> Anybody has any announcements?
16:09:27 <trevormc> nothing from me
16:09:39 <Sukhdev> I was out last last week - so, do not have much
16:10:12 <Sukhdev> #topic: RFEs/Bugs
16:10:41 <Sukhdev> trevormc : I have not had a chance last week to sync up on any of your stuff - sorry about that
16:11:07 <trevormc> Sukhdev: I haven't been able to move forward with it yet... I'm trying to gather some hardware
16:11:12 <trevormc> so no worries
16:11:47 <Sukhdev> trevormc : Do you want to share your update as to where things stand and what do you need help with?
16:12:37 <trevormc> I know the port mirroring functionality for VFd is underdevelopment
16:12:44 <trevormc> but they plan to use direct ports.
16:12:57 <trevormc> so the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/tap-as-a-service/+bug/1693248 is still what I want.
16:12:58 <openstack> Launchpad bug 1693248 in tap-as-a-service "[RFE] Mirror VF Ports" [Undecided,New]
16:13:27 <trevormc> although, I haven't used the project and am not familiar with the API. Ian wells said something about it not being able to work. So there are some doubts.
16:14:44 <pcarver> Mirroring using the NIC hardware presents some challenges, not the least of which is that it depends on what capabilities specific hardware has.
16:15:11 <pcarver> Ideally we'd like to abstract it, but the abstraction still needs to be constrained by what the hardware can actually do.
16:16:19 <pcarver> But the basic idea is that if hardware is able to provide some form of mirroring, we'd like to be able to use it in cases where the VM port is an SR-IOV VF that bypasses any vSwitch/vRouter on host.
16:17:14 <Sukhdev> I just read ijw comment and am bit confused -
16:17:49 <trevormc> sukhdev, I think it has to do with the switching technology built into the switch
16:18:01 <trevormc> NIC
16:18:07 <trevormc> built into the NIC. sorry
16:18:27 <Sukhdev> I see -
16:18:58 <trevormc> Jumping ahead here, For https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1693240 we were planning on querying trunk ports and creating a list of VLANs to filter based on that. Then passing that information to VFd.
16:18:59 <openstack> Launchpad bug 1693240 in neutron "Support SRIOV VF VLAN Filtering" [Wishlist,Confirmed] - Assigned to Trevor McCasland (twm2016)
16:19:21 <Sukhdev> So, one of the things we discussed in the last meeting - my suggestion was to have a test system and setup the Tass API and see what works and what holes need to filled
16:19:51 <trevormc> definitely agree
16:20:19 <trevormc> I requested to have a server until the feature-freeze for this cycle. hopefully i get it.
16:21:00 <Sukhdev> trevormc : as to the second bug, you are right on - that is what we discussed in the last meeting
16:21:17 <trevormc> oh whoops, I forgot. time flies when you're having fun :)
16:21:31 <Sukhdev> trunk ports will give you the list of vlans
16:21:53 <Sukhdev> trevormc : I had suggested to speak with Rosella - did you have a chance to sync up with her?
16:22:20 <trevormc> Sukhdev, shoot! no I did not.
16:22:50 <trevormc> I'll ask her for her opinion on the two bugs mentioned above.
16:23:27 <Sukhdev> trevormc : I would strongly encourage you to reach out to her. She and I discussed the trunked port implementation and APIs
16:23:51 * trevormc checks her activity report
16:24:16 <trevormc> ok looks like our times sync up.
16:24:54 <Sukhdev> I was looking for the integration of Ironic (bare metal servers). She and I had a fishbowl session in one of the summit on this topic, hence, she can provide you the right details
16:25:53 <trevormc> ok she just asked me to email her. she is going afk
16:26:33 <Sukhdev> excellent!!
16:27:00 <Sukhdev> trevormc : let me know how it goes
16:27:07 <trevormc> will do
16:27:23 <Sukhdev> Anything else?
16:28:05 <trevormc> no thats all.
16:28:23 <Sukhdev> sadasu : anything on your mind?
16:29:03 <sadasu> catching up on the conversation in the last 5 mins because I was pulled away
16:29:28 <Sukhdev> ah  I see
16:30:09 <sadasu> ok....I don't see a discussion on the SR-IOV VF VLAN filtering
16:31:05 <sadasu> caught up..nothing from me
16:31:27 <Sukhdev> pcarver : anything on your mind to discuss?
16:32:02 <pcarver> Sukhdev: Nope. I'm just here in case trevormc wanted any background info
16:32:18 <Sukhdev> perfect!!
16:32:22 <trevormc> thanks for joining pcarver, I appreciate the support!
16:32:41 <Sukhdev> #topic Open Discussion

16:33:32 <Sukhdev> Looks like we are done
