Scheduler sends VM to HV that lacks resources
If I create 20 VMs at once, at least one of them fails with "Exceeded maximum number of retries." When I look at the logs I see that the scheduler sent the VM to a host that doesn't have enough CPU "Free vcpu 14.00 VCPU < requested 16 VCPU." https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/6N3wcDzlbNQgj6hRApHiDQ I thought that this must be caused by a race condition, so I stopped the scheduler and conductor on 2 controllers, and then created 20 more VMs. Now I see the logs only on controller 3, and some of the failures are now saying "Unable to establish connection to <LB>" but I still see the single scheduler sending VMs to a host that lacks resources "Free vcpu 14.00 VCPU < requested 16 VCPU." https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/lGlVpfbB9C19mMzrWQcHCQ I'm looking at my nova.conf but don't see anything misconfigured. My filters are pretty standard: enabled_filters = RetryFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,CoreFilter,RamFilter,ComputeFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilter,ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter,ServerGroupAffinityFilter,DifferentHostFilter,SameHostFilter What should I be looking for here? Why would a single scheduler send a VM to a host that is too full? We have lots of compute hosts that are not full: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/6SX9pQ4V1KnWfQkVnfoHOw This is the command line I used: openstack server create --flavor s1.16cx120g --image QSC-P-CentOS6.6-19P1-v4 --network vg-network --max 20 alberttestB

Sorry, I should have said: If your deployment is pike or newer then you don't need the CoreFilter or RamFilter. If your deployment is queens or newer then you don't need the RetryFilter. -- Thanks, Matt
Removing these 3 obsolete filters appears to have fixed the problem.

I am running stable Queens with hundreds of ironic baremetal nodes. Things are mostly stable but occasionally some baremetal node provisions are failing.

Your request, is asking for CUSTOM_RRR430 will a value of 2, but it is only available as 1. Have a look at your server create request, there's something, probably your flavor, which is unexpected. Placement and nova scheduler are working correctly with the data they have, the problem is with how inventory is being reported or requested. This could either be with how your ironic nodes are being reported, or with flavors.

https://review.opendev.org/#/c/620111/ comes to mind, I'm not sure if that helps you workaround the problem or not. Be sure to go through this doc as well: https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/queens/install/configure-nova-flavors.html... Specifically the part about overriding the VCPU/MEMORY_MB/DISK_GB values in the baremetal flavors. My guess is maybe you haven't done that and the scheduler is selecting a node based on vcpu/ram/disk that is already fully consumed by another node with the same resource class? Failing all that, it might be an issue due to https://review.opendev.org/#/c/637217/ which I abandoned because I just didn't have the time or will to push on it any further. If nothing else the bugs linked to those patches might be helpful with workarounds that CERN did when they were doing their baremetal flavor migration to custom resource classes. There were definitely bumps along the way. -- Thanks, Matt
Hi Chris, Thanks for the response.
Your request, is asking for CUSTOM_RRR430 will a value of 2, but it is only available as 1. Have a look at your server create request, there's something, probably your flavor, which is unexpected. The requests coming in are "forced host" requests. The PaaS layer maintains an inventory of actual bare-metal available nodes and a user has to explicitly selecta baremetal node. The PaaS layer then makes a nova api call for an instance to be createdon that specific baremetal node. Placement and nova scheduler are working correctly with the data they have, the problem is with how inventory is being reported or requested. This could either be with how your ironic nodes are being reported, or with flavors.As far as I can recall, we've started seeing this particular error only recently after we added another 200 nodes to our flat infrastructure. Thanks,Fred.

To be clear, by forced host you mean creating the server with an availability zone in the format ZONE:HOST:NODE or ZONE:NODE where NODE is the ironic node UUID, correct? https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/availability-zones.html#using-a... Yeah that's a problem because then the scheduler filters aren't run. A potential alternative is to create the server using a hypervisor_hostname query hint that will run through the JsonFilter: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/admin/configuration/schedulers.html#j... Then at least you're not forcing the node and run the scheduler filters. I forget exactly how the scheduler code works in Queens with respect to forced hosts/nodes on server create but the scheduler still has to allocate resources in placement. It looks like we work around that in Queens by disabling the limit we place on getting allocation candidates from placement: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/584616/ My guess is your PaaS layer has bugs in it since it's allowing users to select hosts that are already consumed, or it's just racy. Anyway, this is why nova uses placement since Pike for atomic consumption of resources during scheduling. -- Thanks, Matt
Thanks Matt for the excellent suggestions in this email and the prior one.I am currently trying to eliminate them one by one and will update. Yes, by forced host I do mean creating the server with an availability zone in the ZONE:NODE format. Yes, I understand the scheduler filters aren't run but why should that bean issue? For now, I am tracing all the logs from the PaaS layer all the way to Openstack nova placement API tosee if there is anything unusual. Thanks,Fred.

if you are using placement and you are not using numa or pci pass though, which you do not appear to be based on your enabled filters, then this should not happen and we should dig deeper as there is likely a bug either in your configuration or in nova.

If I create 20 VMs at once, at least one of them fails with "Exceeded maximum number of retries." When I look at the logs I see that the scheduler sent the VM to a host that doesn't have enough CPU "Free vcpu 14.00 VCPU < requested 16 VCPU."
I thought that this must be caused by a race condition, so I stopped the scheduler and conductor on 2 controllers, and then created 20 more VMs. Now I see the logs only on controller 3, and some of the failures are now saying "Unable to establish connection to <LB>" but I still see the single scheduler sending VMs to a host that lacks resources "Free vcpu 14.00 VCPU < requested 16 VCPU."
I'm looking at my nova.conf but don't see anything misconfigured. My filters are pretty standard:
enabled_filters = RetryFilter,AvailabilityZoneFilter,CoreFilter,RamFilter,ComputeFilter,ComputeCapabilitiesFilter,ImagePropertiesFilte r, ServerGroupAntiAffinityFilter,ServerGroupAffinityFilter,DifferentHostFilter,SameHostFilter
What should I be looking for here? Why would a single scheduler send a VM to a host that is too full? We have lots of compute hosts that are not full:
This is the command line I used:
openstack server create --flavor s1.16cx120g --image QSC-P-CentOS6.6-19P1-v4 --network vg-network --max 20 alberttestB
what version of openstack are you running? if its not using placement then this behaviour is expected as the resources are not claimed untill the vm is booted on the node so there is and interval where the scudler is selecting hosts where you can race with other vm boot.
if you are using placement and you are not using numa or pci pass though, which you do not appear to be based on your enabled filters, then this should not happen and we should dig deeper as there is likely a bug either in your configuration or in nova.
