Hello,
This adds support for Horizon https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/horizon/+/749013
Regarding the actual extending of in-use volumes, we had an issue where cinder could not talk to os-server-external-events endpoint for nova because it used the wrong endpoint when looking up in keystone. We saw the error in cinder-volume.log except for that I can't remember we did anything special.
Had to use newer microversion for cinder when using CLI.
cinder --os-volume-api-version 3.42 extend <volume ID or name> <new size in GB>
Best regards

Hello Lee,
thanks for quick response and sorry about the late reaction from my side.

Yes this should work without any additonal changes, can you write up a nova bug with the following output in addition to the bug template:
Your versions of libvirt and QEMU.
Output of the following command *after* requesting a resize:
$ virsh domblkinfo $instance_uuid $target_dev
- Output of the following commands once confirmed the resize didn't happen within the domain:
$ virsh blockresize $instance_uuid $rbd_path $new_size $ virsh domblkinfo $instance_uuid $target_dev
From what you've said above this smells like a libvirt/QEMU bug but I don't have a rbd env to hand to confirm things at the moment.
Cheers,
I have just been trying to reproduce the issue, but in all my new attempts it just worked as expected:
[162262.926512] sd 0:0:0:1: Capacity data has changed [162262.932868] sd 0:0:0:1: [sdb] 6291456 512-byte logical blocks: (3.22 GB/3.00 GiB) [162262.933061] sdb: detected capacity change from 2147483648 to 3221225472
Sorry about the noise then.
The only "bugs" to report are the usability issues of Horizon not offering "in-use" extension of volume as far as I can see and the pending support in the openstack cli (https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1871759).
i have done a live extend using cinder client before.
sean@p50:~$ cinder --help extend usage: cinder extend <volume> <new_size>
Attempts to extend size of an existing volume.
Positional Arguments: <volume> Name or ID of volume to extend. <new_size> New size of volume, in GiBs.
so it does work provided you have not used the nova workaround config options for host mounting the rbd volumens. https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#workarounds... that will go away shortly proably in the xena release but if you enable that you can resize volumnes that are in use.
so ya i think the only bugs are really not bugs but RFEs openstack client does not have parity with cinder client and nor does horizon. a lack of feature in the latter too is not really a bug just no one has implmented it yet so there is a gap.
from the api side and a nova persoection i think it should work you just need to use a clint that supprot it.
Thanks again, Regards
Christian
