Live migration fails
by Szabo, Istvan (Agoda) 07 Aug '24

07 Aug '24

Hi, I have couple of compute nodes where the live migration fails with existing vms. When I quickly spawn a vm and try live migration it works so I assume shouldn't be a big problem with the compute node. However I have many existing vms where it fails with a servername not found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.605 227612 ERROR nova.conductor.tasks.migrate [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] [instance: 1517a2ac-3b51-4d8d-80b3-89a5614d1ae0] Unable to find record for source node servername on servername: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host servername could not be found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.605 227612 WARNING nova.scheduler.utils [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] Failed to compute_task_migrate_server: Compute host servername could not be found.: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host servername could not be found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.605 227612 WARNING nova.scheduler.utils [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] [instance: 1517a2ac-3b51-4d8d-80b3-89a5614d1ae0] Setting instance to ACTIVE state.: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host servername could not be found. /var/log/nova/nova-conductor.log:2021-04-21 14:47:12.672 227612 ERROR oslo_messaging.rpc.server [req-f4067a26-a233-4673-8c07-9a8a290980b0 dce35e6eceea4312bb0baa0510cef363 ca7e35079f4440c78bd9870724b9638b - default default] Exception during message handling: ComputeHostNotFound: Compute host am-osfecn-4025 Tried with this command: nova live-migration --block-migrate id.

[all] Dynamic Zuul results table in Gerrit 3
by Radosław Piliszek 05 Aug '22

05 Aug '22

Hello Fellow OpenStack and OpenDev Folks! TL;DR click on [3] and enjoy. I am starting this thread to not hijack the discussion happening on [1]. First of all, I would like to thank gibi (Balazs Gibizer) for hacking a way to get the place to render the table in the first place (pun intended). I have been a long-time-now user of [2]. I have improved and customised it for myself but never really got to share back the changes I made. The new Gerrit obviously broke the whole script so it was of no use to share at that particular state. However, inspired by gibi's work, I decided to finally sit down and fix it to work with Gerrit 3 and here it comes: [3]. Works well on Chrome with Tampermonkey. Not tested others. I hope you will enjoy this little helper (I do). I know the script looks super fugly but it generally boils down to a mix of styles of 3 people and Gerrit having funky UI rendering. Finally, I'd also like to thank hrw (Marcin Juszkiewicz) for linking me to the original Michel's script in 2019.

Nova not updating to new size of an extended in-use / attached cinder volume (Ceph RBD) to guest
by Christian Rohmann 28 Jun '22

28 Jun '22

Hello Openstack-Discuss, after some digging I found out that cinder learned to resize attached (in-use) volumes quite a while ago with the introduction of the initial "extend 'in-use' volume" feature: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/454287/ The support was then extended to also cover Ceph RBD backed volumes with: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/613039/ Since this is only about the cinder part, I was wondering if nova would ever find out and would actively rescan the device / volume and quintessentially present an increased new size to the guest. Apparently this is where a certain volume-extended event comes into play: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/454322/ that is to be emitted by cinder when a volume had been extened. I then went head and tried this with the openstack cli (as Horizon does not seem to support / offer to resize in-use volumes. I run Openstack Train with Ceph RBD as storage. First I ran into an issue with the openstack cli (https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1871759/comments/2 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1871759/comments/2>) but using cinder extend $volumeid $newsize I was able to resize in-use volumes just fine. The only thing missing was the propagation to the guest. I played around with SCSI rescans, but that did not work, reboots also failed to do anyting in this regards. Stopping and starting the VM did work, but why having the capability to online-resize an attached volume when not being able to resize the guest volume as well? Apparently there seems to be an old and somewhat similar observation / bug with https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1369465 So I was simply wondering if this is expected to be working? Are there any special settings / options I need to set to enable this feature? Thanks and with kind regards Christian

[oslo] Propose to EOL stable/queens, stable/rocky on all the oslo scope
by Herve Beraud 25 Jun '22

25 Jun '22

Hi, On our last meeting of the oslo team we discussed the problem with broken stable branches (rocky and older) in oslo's projects [1]. Indeed, almost all these branches are broken. Előd Illés kindly generated a list of periodic-stable errors on Oslo's stable branches [2]. Given the lack of active maintainers on Oslo and given the current status of the CI in those branches, I propose to make them End Of Life. I will wait until the end of month for anyone who would like to maybe step up as maintainer of those branches and who would at least try to fix CI of them. If no one will volunteer for that, I'll EOLing those branches for all the projects under the oslo umbrella. Let us know your thoughts. Thank you for your attention.

[ops][nova][victoria] Power State = Suspended?
by DHilsbos＠performair.com 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

All; I had something unusual happen this morning; one of my VMs was showing "Suspended" under the Power State in the Horizon dashboard. I've never seen that. What does it mean? Any search that I do points me to a bunch of resources for Status Suspended. Thank you, Dominic L. Hilsbos, MBA Vice President - Information Technology Perform Air International Inc.

[nova][dev] Revisiting qemu emulation where guest arch != host arch
by Apsey, Christopher 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

All, A few years ago I asked a question[1] about why nova, when given a hw_architecture property from glance for an image, would not end up using the correct qemu-system-xx binary when starting the guest process on a compute node if that compute nodes architecture did not match the proposed guest architecture. As an example, if we had all x86 hosts, but wanted to run an emulated ppc guest, we should be able to do that given that at least one compute node had qemu-system-ppc already installed and libvirt was successfully reporting that as a supported architecture to nova. It seemed like a heavy lift at the time, so it was put on the back burner. I am now in a position to fund a contract developer to make this happen, so the question is: would this be a useful blueprint that would potentially be accepted? Most of the time when people want to run an emulated guest they would just nest it inside of an already running guest of the native architecture, but that severely limits observability and the task of managing any more than a handful of instances in this manner quickly becomes a tangled nightmare of networking, etc. I see real benefit in allowing this scenario to run natively so all of the tooling that exists for fleet management 'just works'. This would also be a significant differentiator for OpenStack as a whole. Thoughts?

[stable][requirements][zuul] unpinned setuptools dependency on stable
by Balazs Gibizer 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

Hi, The latest setuptools (58.0) removed support for "use_2to3" [1] (deprecated since 46.2). Many OpenStack modules defines decorator==3.4.0 as lower constraints[2]. However, decorator 3.4.0 cannot be installed anymore with the latest setuptool as it depends on "use_2to3". On master, this can be solved easily by bumping the dependency to decorator 4.0.0. On stable/xena we can still solve it the same way with a new RC. But on older stable branches such solution might be against the stable policy as it would require a major bump on our dependencies. This issue is not limited to lower-constraints testing it just hit us there first. A similar break could happen in our upper constraints as well on old stable branches. The root of the problem is that we always use the latest setuptools in our CI testing even on old stable branches. Zuul's ensure-tox task[4] installs tox which installs the virtualenv package which bundles the latest setuptools package. This happens without applying any constraints. Then tox is used to install the project's dependencies under lower or upper constraints with the unconstrained setuptools available. During and after yesterday's nova meeting [3] we discussed possible solutions. Option 1: Bump the major version of the decorator dependency on stable. Pros: * easy to implement Cons: * might against the policy / breaks downstream packagers * needs to be done in each affected project[3] separately * not future proof. After a future setuptools release we can see a similar break with another of our dependencies. @Stable Cores: how do you feel about such bump? Option 2: Pin the setuptools version during tox installation Pros: * single solution for all affected projects * future proof against breaks introduced by future setuptools releases Cons: * complex change as it probably requires to extend the base task in zuul itself Option 3: turn off lower-constraints testing Pros: * easy to implement * some of us want to get rid of lower constraints anyhow Cons: * needs per project changes * not future proof against similar break affecting our upper constraints on old stable branches. Option 4: utilize pyproject.toml[6] to specify build-time requirements Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it is possible to restrict the maximum setuptools version with it As a side note I tried applying [tox]requires in tox.ini to restrict setuptools version[7] but It does not seem to take effect in our case[8]. @Stable Cores: what do you think what could be the way forward? Cheers, gibi [1] https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v58-0-2 [2] https://codesearch.openstack.org/?q=decorator%3D%3D3.4.0&i=nope&literal=nop… [3] https://meetings.opendev.org/irclogs/%23openstack-nova/%23openstack-nova.20… [4] https://opendev.org/zuul/zuul-jobs/src/branch/master/roles/ensure-tox/tasks… [5] https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#conf-requires [6] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0518/ [7] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/placement/+/810293/1/tox.ini [8] https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/build/f78a0300c8734e7c8475309af1d2e1a4…

[puppet] Propose retiring old stable branches(Stein, Rocky and Queens)
by Takashi Kajinami 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Hello, In puppet repos we have plenty of stable branches still open, and the oldest is now stable/queens. However recently we haven't seen many backports proposed to stein, rocky and queens [1], so I'll propose retiring these three old branches now. Please let me know if anybody is interested in keeping any of these three. Note that currently CI jobs are broken in these three branches and it is likely we need to investigate the required additional pinning of dependent packages. If somebody is still interested in maintaining these old branches then these jobs should be fixed. [1] https://review.opendev.org/q/(project:%255Eopenstack/puppet-.*)AND(NOT+proj… Thank you, Takashi Kajinami
