About the bind/unbind feature, we have discussed on the nova PTG[1], they are in our task list. Welcome to join us if you have interest.

 

We also use kolla-ansible to deploy cyborg, but found no problem right now, if you meet error, pls report bugs on the launchpad[2] and fix them if you have time.

Yes, Alex, this command does confuse me a bit. 

 

Hope we can support bind/unbind accelerators in the future.

 

I also found some errors in kolla-ansible when deploying cyborg. I want to know how active is the cyborg project? 

 

Shall we fix the deploy bug in kolla-ansible and backport the bug fixes to released branches?

Anyway, we should shield this cmd to avoid misoperation of arq and lead the instance start error for now.

Emm, the arq unbind cmd is used of deleting instance.

Recently we donot support hot-plug/unplug device for instance. We only support binding devices when create instance and unbinding devices when delete instance.

 

Best Regards.

主题: [lists.openstack.org代发][cyborg][nova][qa]Question about Accelerator unbinding

 

hi, Cyborg and nova team:

I am using cyborg with "Wallaby" release to manage my accelerator devices, while I'm trying to unbind the accelerator I found that the device was not actually unbound from the virtual machine. 

Here are my questions:

1. What is the function of the arq unbind command in cyborg ?

2. How to unbind the accelerator which bounded to vm? Does nova or cyborg support this function now

 

Here are my steps:

step1: openstack accelerator arq unbind ed205084-f58d-4fad-99b4-327a1398858f
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field               | Value                                |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+
| uuid                | ed205084-f58d-4fad-99b4-327a1398858f |
| state               | Unbound                              |
| device_profile_name | ssd                                  |
| hostname            | None                                 |
| device_rp_uuid      | None                                 |
| instance_uuid       | None                                 |
| attach_handle_type  |                                      |
| attach_handle_info  | {}                                   |
+---------------------+--------------------------------------+

 step2: login vm and check the device, but it still here.

step3: stop vm and start vm, met the following error:

"nova.exception.AcceleratorRequestOpFailed: Failed to get accelerator requests: Cyborg returned no accelerator requests for instance ca77ef4e-421c-4c6c-9d76-7618a90ec921"
