I wasn't until just now 14:14:01 okay. 14:14:15 Wanna wait a week, I can be +2 :) 14:14:24 esberglu actually you go ahead and add vscsi to the runway 14:14:30 Oh yeah congrats efried! 14:14:31 efried oh? :) 14:14:36 congrats then! 14:14:42 thanks, provisionally. The nom is out on the ML. 14:14:52 hadn't noticed yet... that's awesome 14:15:13 I'm right chuffed, as they used to say on the east side (of London) 14:15:21 as you should be 14:16:33 one thing about localdisk 14:17:02 did we work out what we're doing so that conf settings don't conflict between IT and OOT? 14:17:32 Oh right. No we didn't 14:18:08 are you going to try my suggestion of an OOT change to check and see if the setting is already defined and if so not redefine it? 14:18:36 Sure 14:18:45 ok, let us know how that goes 14:18:51 anything else for IT? 14:18:52 That doesn't sound like it'll work. I don't think you can predict the load order. 14:19:06 Perhaps ask around in -oslo 14:19:08 that was my fear 14:19:17 Or on the dev ML. 14:19:23 I bet dhellmann has this answer off the top. 14:19:26 I thought maybe we could assume nova was loaded before a nova virt driver, though 14:19:38 We could name the IT group something slightly different 14:19:43 yeah, he'd be the person I'd go to 14:19:57 esberglu I really don't want to name things differently if we can avoid it 14:20:05 Namespacing would be okay, except we really want the in 14:20:12 in-tree one to be called [powervm] 14:20:15 a) I want consistency 14:20:25 oh, now I remember. 14:20:27 b) I like the existing names better than anything else I've thought of 14:20:47 (edmondsw We wouldn't have to change the conf option names, just the group name. But even so) 14:21:04 I remember how we need to tackle this. 14:21:05 efried right... but like you said, we want the group name to stay the same 14:21:14 Because we already lockstep nova and nova-powervm. 14:21:28 We introduce the conf option into nova and then *remove* same from nova-powervm. 14:21:31 Can we just add it to nova and remove from nova-powervm 14:21:33 Yeah 14:21:52 Those patches land in quick succession and we're good. 14:22:11 except for the time between the first merge and the second 14:22:32 efried: There might still be a problem with that, the group would get registered twice I think 14:22:33 which should be negligible. Put Depends-On from the nova-powervm patch to the nova patch. 14:22:43 and CI will be failing OOT for the IT change 14:23:06 which I guess we can ignore 14:23:14 yeah 14:23:34 esberglu: Not sure about the group redef thing. Another one for dhellmann. 14:23:36 do we have Depends-On working? 14:23:53 no 14:23:58 oh, right. No. But that's okay. We'll just land 'em quickly. 14:24:00 yeah, I didn't think so 14:24:07 k 14:24:35 so esberglu will check with dhellmann on the group redef thing 14:24:40 and we'll take it from there 14:25:09 #topic Out-of-tree Driver 14:25:21 https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/powervm-oot-todos 14:25:48 or just try it 14:26:22 we've got a couple things waiting for the pypowervm bump 14:26:46 already said that should release today, so the bump should happen later this week 14:27:34 I think a couple of us have dropped more comments on the volume refactor, and it will need to be rebased again 14:27:54 Are we really going forward with that? 14:28:09 I mean, I'm all for the idea, but does tjakobs really have the bandwidth to go test all the drivers live? 14:28:21 he hasn't said otherwise 14:28:29 he was willing 14:28:40 I thought there was something in slack the other day suggesting otherwise 14:28:42 okay, wfm. *I* ain't gonna do it. 14:28:54 we'll see how that goes, but I would really like to see that merge 14:29:04 (once thoroughly tested) 14:29:25 yeah, cause I'm going to be pretty hardline about not merging it unless it's tested. 14:29:31 same 14:29:42 I think everyone's in agreement there 14:29:52 besides tjakobs, I want PowerVC to test it 14:30:03 so we know the things they use are still working 14:30:14 that should give us another layer of confidence 14:30:32 anything else OOT? 14:31:01 oh chhagarw is working on some stuff for iscsi that I should bring up 14:31:54 we've got an issue there where I don't think it will be possible to setup the same volume through both NovaLink as a VIOS and through traditional VIOS 14:32:01 so we're trying to work out how to handle that 14:32:08 at the same time? 14:32:29 uh, sorry, maybe that didn't make any sense at all. 14:32:30 Never mind. 14:32:55 k 14:33:12 at any rate, there will be nova-powervm changes coming for iscsi in one form or another 14:33:30 anything else OOT? 14:33:35 nope 14:33:51 #topic Device Passthrough 14:34:06 I haven't been able to do much here the last week 14:34:09 efried you have anything? 14:34:43 Today is spec review day. Tomorrow runways start. Other than continuing to shepherd outstanding patches and review related stuff, no update from last time. 14:35:03 update_provider_tree is queued up for the first runway, I think. 14:35:09 yep, saw that 14:35:15 very good 14:35:17 So I expect that to be merged within the next week or two. 14:35:27 But progress on NRP-in-a_c is still very slow. 14:35:38 And that's going to be a prereq for... everything else. 14:35:44 a_c ? 14:35:44 Including granular 14:35:50 GET /allocation_candidates 14:35:54 ah 14:36:01 The placement API that does scheduling 14:36:04 basically 14:36:49 meanwhile pretty much every spec on the slate talks about using granular as if it's already a thing 14:36:51 So no pressure. 14:37:23 :) 14:37:33 alright, moving on to CI 14:37:38 #topic PowerVM CI 14:37:39 https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/powervm_ci_todos 14:37:41 esberglu? 14:37:55 Top priority is the network hotplug CI 14:37:59 +1 14:38:04 Then I can hop back into the nodepool update 14:38:47 Everything is running smoothly again for the most part 14:39:05 IT and OOT are actually seeing the vOPT naming conflict thing at about the same rate 14:39:11 Meaning https://review.openstack.org/#/c/540453/ isn't really doing anything 14:39:22 And that it might not be the naming conflict we thought it was 14:39:52 hmm 14:40:57 Need to hop back into that and debug 14:41:39 should we prioritize multinode testing over the nodepool update? 14:42:24 edmondsw: I really wanted to finish the mgmt service upgrade and queens upgrade first 14:42:31 But keep getting pulled off elsewhere 14:42:56 think we're getting close there? 14:42:58 Probably time to start weighing that choice though 14:43:27 Idk it depends on if the management service update fixes the issues that the queens undercloud is seeing 14:43:40 you've already got a commit up for resize, and it will need multinode CI before it has a chance of merging 14:44:41 edmondsw: Yeah I will start looking at it more in depth, I'll try to have a plan moving forward for next weeks meeting 14:44:47 sounds good 14:45:04 Nothing else from me 14:46:05 #topic Open Discussion 14:46:34 efried and I just got approval to book travel for the summit 14:46:44 Oh, cool, hadn't seen that. 14:46:54 should be in your inbox 14:47:02 222 unread as of right now. 14:47:23 I plan to go ahead and do that today, see how booked the hotels are (probably full) 14:47:37 will let you know what I find 14:47:56 anything else to discuss? 14:47:57 I may ping you later for info about which hotels etc. I don't remember seeing anything on the website last time I looked. 14:48:17 hmm... I registered, but haven't looked for flights/hotels yet 14:48:26 * efried headless chicken / one-armed wallpaper hanger / one-legged man in ass-kicking contest today 14:48:41 yeah, today is gonna be rough for me too 14:49:13 have a dentist appointment, Ben is visiting so we have extra meetings with that, etc. 14:49:25 so, let's close this down if nothing else to discuss (that can't wait) 14:49:33 yep 14:49:36 #endmeeting
