[all][Virtual PTG] Notes from the 'Running Virtual Meetups' session
by Artom Lifshitz 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hey all, Last week, Red Hat hosted a 'Running Virtual Meetups' virtual session, with presenters from both Red Hat and others in the industry. I attended, hoping to gleam potentially interesting insights into how we can run our virtual PTG. Here are my notes: In real PTG, the physical and geographical aspects of it make it much easier to separate from our usual work. The usual calls, tickets, emails, whatever, take a back seat due to the constraints of a PTG setting. In a virtual PTG, with us sitting at our usual desks, this will become much harder. This leads into the next point - participant engagement. Having technical conversations for 8 hours a day is already hard enough when you're in the same room as the people you're conversing with. When those people are pixels on your screen, it becomes even harder. The session I attended was geared more towards presentations than PTG-style roundtable discussion, so I'm not sure that the proposed mitigations would apply to us. For instance, live polls make no sense in a PTG context. One interesting suggestion was to do physical movement between topics/sessions. The online attention span of a human is estimated to be around 10-15 minutes, so having participants stand up and walk around their desk/kitchen/hallway 4 times an hour could be something worth trying. Another way to keep folks engaged is to actually do things besides talking. In our context, this could mean hacking on some POC code together, or collaboratively writing a spec. Again, the session I attended was geared more towards presentations, so the suggestion was to do live debugging. It's actually more engaging when things break and you fix them as a group, than when a presentation goes off without a hitch. That was about it. There was also a list of potentially useful tools, that I'll present here as a link dump because I've never used any of them: https://www.mentimeter.com/ https://pollev.com/ http://roll20.net/ https://obsproject.com/ https://www.sli.do/ The danger is that too much tech brings complexity that's difficult to manage, so sticking to simple well-known tools can also be an advantage. Hope this is useful, cheers!

[neutron][OVN] Multiple mechanism drivers
by Sam Morrison 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

We are looking at using OVN and are having some issues with it in our ML2 environment. We currently have 2 mechanism drivers in use: linuxbridge and midonet and these work well (midonet is the default tenant network driver for when users create a network) Adding OVN as a third mechanism driver causes the linuxbridge and midonet networks to stop working in terms of CRUD operations etc. It looks as if the OVN driver thinks it’s the only player and is trying to do things on ports that are in linuxbridge or midonet networks. Am I missing something here? (We’re using Stein version) Thanks, Sam

[tripleo] old tripleo bugs
by Wesley Hayutin 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Sorry, This time w/ the right filter.. Greetings, As discussed launchpad bugs that are in new or triaged status and were opened over 365 days ago have been moved to incomplete status. The list is here [1] and 286 bugs were moved to incomplete. The subscribed users or reporters can set the bug back to triaged or new, if you need help ping me. Instead of leaving these bugs open forever, it's now up to the owner to flip the status back to something we'll track. We've been kicking hundreds of bugs down each release and that's just silly. Launchpad will expire and close the bugs in 60 days if they are not updated [2]. One note.. there were only 5 bugs in New and opened over 365 days. Thanks all!

[neutron][OVN] Issues trying to migrated to OVN using db sync util
by Sam Morrison 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hi Neutron/OVN devs/ops, We are in the process of migrating to OVN, we are having issues getting all our neutron data into OVN using neutron-ovn-db-sync-util tool Our neutron has: ~250 networks/subnets ~11,000 ports ~53,000 security groups ~200,000 security group rules The issues we have: We get a lot of timeouts with ovsdb transaction so we have made it commit transactions every 50 items. It takes ages to run, we haven’t got a full sync to happen but it has run for over 1.5 hours before we get an error. The main issue is we are getting this error [1] about dictionary changing which is preventing us from completing a full sync. I’m wondering if there are any sites out there running with this size of secgroups/ports etc. We have dedicated hardware for the ovsdb servers etc. so I don’t think it’s something we can chuck more hardware at We are running stein version and wondering if there has been any work in making this better in train or newer? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide us. Cheers, Sam [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/networking-ovn/+bug/1871272
