Open Stack

Hello,

we are trying to build our own nova scheduler filter to separate machines to different compute nodes / host aggregates. 
Our setup is based on OpenStack Mitaka and we are using VMware as hypervisor on 3 different compute nodes.

We have created a /etc/glance/metadefs/CV_AggSelect.json file to define the new property "os_selectagg"

{
    "namespace": "OS::Compute::cv-host-agg", 
    "display_name": "CV-CUSTOM: Select Host Aggregate", 
    "description": "Cornelsen CUSTOM: Select Host Aggregate", 
    "visibility": "public", 
    "protected": true, 
    "resource_type_associations": [
        {
            "name": "OS::Glance::Image" 
        }, 
        {
            "name": "OS::Nova::Aggregate" 
        }
    ], 
        "properties": {
            "os_selectagg": {
                "title": "selectagg",
                "description": "Cornelsen CUSTOM: Select Host Aggregate",
                "type": "string",
                "enum": [
                    "windows",
                    "linux",
                    "desktop",
                    "test1",
                    "test2"
                ],
                "default" : "test2"
        }
    },
    "objects": []
}


Getting the details from our image and the host aggregate we see that the property is set correctly:

openstack image show e62da4df-318f-48dc-be26-b634e82ec4a1
+------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field            | Value                                                                                                                            |
+------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
...
| properties       | description='', hw_vif_model='VirtualVmxnet3', hypervisor_type='vmware', os_selectagg='windows',            |
|                  | vmware_adaptertype='lsiLogicsas', vmware_disktype='preallocated', vmware_ostype='windows9Server64Guest
...

We also see the property in the aggregate:

openstack aggregate show 5
+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
| Field             | Value                                            |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
...
| properties        | hypervisor_type='vmware', os_selectagg='windows' |
..

I have created a new simple filter in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nova/scheduler/filters  just to see what properties are set for the current image and the host_state.
The filter is also set in the  /etc/nova/nova.conf and is executed, because I'm getting the logfile that ist created by the filter.

The filter only implements the " def host_passes(self, host_state, spec_obj)" function.

I'm getting the image properties by " image_props = spec_obj.image.properties if spec_obj.image else {} ", but the property "os_selectagg" is missing. All other properties like hw_vif_model='VirtualVmxnet3' are set.

The property is set in the host_state.aggregates list, but not in the spec_obj.image.properties. What do we miss?

With best regards,
Mario Keller.
