Jyotsnatest message 11:10
harshhello.. I see that there is a cinder API : group-type-update which can be used to retype a group. But i don't find the driver.py code for this API which calls the backend driver code. Can someone please point me in the right direction?11:15
JyotsnaHi Everyone, We have proposed new cinder driver (New cinder driver for HPE Alletra MP) which has few critical features which customers are awaiting from long time.11:16

jbernard#topic annoucements14:07
jbernardwe are currently in R12 as per the cycle schedule at https://releases.openstack.org/gazpacho/schedule.html14:08
jbernardmake that R1114:08
jbernardlooking at early Feb (first week) for a midcycle meetup14:09
jbernardhow does that sound? we could do last week of Jan too14:10
yuvalI have a bug fix so my deadline is 20feb?14:10
harshailani0/14:10
jbernardyuval: bug fix in os-brick?14:10
agalicaI personally vote for mid-Feb14:10
yuvalno, cinder14:10
yuvalI also have a change is os-brick though14:11
yuvalI wrote it in the agenda for today meeting14:11
jbernardyuval: ok, hang on for a moment14:12
jbernardagalica: that's doable, it's just a function of how much time we want to have between the meetup and feature freeze14:12
jbernardwhich is last week of Feb14:13
RanjithRethinamHi,can someone pls review this PR https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/971739, its reviewed and approved by Sean, and VMStore CI and Zuul looks happy14:13
agalicaGotcha!14:15
jbernardi will assume silence means any week is fine, mid Feb (13th-ish) unless there are objections, ill send a mail to the list14:15
jayaanandhi14:16
jbernardLuzi: really quick, simon left some formatting comments on your spec, are you able to incorporate those into an update? id like to land that as soon as we can14:16
Luziyeah i will look through it14:16
jbernard#topic yuval's bugfix14:16
jbernardyuval: ^ you're up14:16
jbernardLuzi: thanks!14:16
yuvalyea so basically the change is that I added configuration to os-brick14:17
yuvalits only affecting lightbits driver14:18
yuvalso you can set some variables like port and address service we use14:18
yuvalwe have configuration to many things cinder/nova... I dont see the issue here14:19
yuvalI was requested to bring it up here to discussion14:19
jbernardi don't see a problem what that, are you anticipating pushback?14:20
rosmaitayeah, isn't it a code smell to have config opts in a library?14:20
yuvalyes, there were people with bad feeling about it. so I am here to talk about it14:20
yuvalyea rosmaita14:20
rosmaitaat this point, i don't think any of the specialized connectors have config opts in os-brick14:21
erlon\o late joining ...14:21
rosmaitaso i just want to make sure we think carefully about whether we want to set this precedent14:21
yuvalwe do have opts.py in os-brick14:22
yuvalexample:  cfg.IntOpt('wait_mpath_device_attempts',14:22
rosmaitasure, but that will apply to many connectors14:23
jbernardrosmaita: for hardcoded configuration variables, what is the preferred alternative to effect a change in one of those?14:24
rosmaitamaybe it's just me, but it seems different to have vendor specific opts in os-brick that could be handled by the cinder driver14:24
yuvalonly linuxscsi is using those opts14:24
jbernardrosmaita: wouldn't those need to be duplicated in all services consuming brick in that case?14:25
rosmaitanot sure what you mean, these are lightos specific options we are talking about14:26
yuvalif I will add my opts to opts.py its better?14:26
kaiserso/14:26
rosmaitano, if we allow them, i think they should be defined in with the connector14:27
jbernardrosmaita: if nova calls brick/lightos, then cinder's brick-specific config would not be available?14:27
eharneyyeah, these options would need to be set for both cinder and nova configs right?14:27
erlonI'm also for the opinion that the options should leave either on Cinder or Nova. Especially if it's a driver specific option (for that case in Cinder). You can always pass that option in the connector properties14:27
yuvalI agree so it will stay isolated14:27
jbernardeharney: that's what im getting at14:27
yuvalyea I will set them in both nova.conf and cinder.conf14:27
rosmaitaright, so if we define them in cinder, then like erlon says, they would be passed in the connector properties14:28
yuvalbut I am doing this stuff before I init a connector (If I remember right)14:28
rosmaitaso would only need to be set in one place?14:28
eharneyputting them in brick seems likely to introduce complications if any changes are made in the future, because then you end up with a weird matrix where the nova/cinder conf depends on the version of brick deployed etc14:28
erlonyuval: I didn't find the link for the change can you share?14:30
yuvalhttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/957599/11/os_brick/initiator/connectors/lightos.py#15514:31
agalicaI’m on team erlon, eharney, and rosmaita here14:31
jbernardyuval: is there a technical reason the options cannot be passed in from the caller? that seems to be the perferred approach14:32
yuvalI need to re-check - to answer that fully14:33
eharneyit should be possible14:33
yuvalI will check that14:34
jbernardok, report back and let us know14:35
yuvalok - ok, I will give an example hold on14:35
yuvalthis change was requested because of using cinder/nova inside dockers. so if cinder is on docker a with network A and nova is on docker b on Network B I need to configure it per docker14:36
yuvalI am from that docker want to check some service (we use) is alive through the network14:38
yuvalI need to reach it with context of the Network I live in14:38
opendevreviewEric Harney proposed openstack/cinder master: Prevent database errors when quota fields overflow  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97247614:40
rosmaitaok, so that sounds like you would actually want to be able to set the value in multiple places14:41
opendevreviewNilesh Thathagar proposed openstack/cinder master: Dell PowerFlex: Fixed volume detach issue  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97323214:41
jbernardrosmaita: right, is that preferred over a shared brick config?14:42
yuvalyes, the config files sounds the best way for me14:42
yuvaleach service have its own config14:42
yuvalvalue need to be changed per server14:43
jbernardyes, you just need to make sure they're all in sync14:43
yuvalthe service (discovery-client) is not 1 for all other servicer (cinder/nova) and everybody checks it. the service lives in the machine parallel to the cinder/nova. 1 for each server 14:45
jayaanandneed core attraction for NetApp changes:https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/96883114:45
yuvalok, I understand why its confusing. I guess I didnt explain myself good enough in the commit14:46
rosmaitai think you have made a good case ... would be nice to say something in the commit message about why is makes sense for these to be defined in os_brick14:48
erlonyuval: I don't think I followed your explanation. Could you provide a clearer commit message that explains the problem you're trying to solve and why it needs to be addressed this way?14:48
erlon:)14:48
yuvalI for sure update the commit14:48
jbernard#action yuval to update lightos brick commit message, further discussion if needed14:49
yuvalbut lets wait 2 more minutes - I will explain why its needed so it wont drag to the next meeting14:49
jbernard#action jbernard to send mail about midcycle14:49
jbernardyuval: sure, we have 11 minutes remaining, i thnk that's all on the agenda for today14:50
erlon one thing14:51
yuvalI have an instance with docker network 10.10.10.1 the dc is at 10.10.10.2. I have another nova instance in docker with network 20.20.20.1 with dc in 20.20.20.2. I need to configure os brick to reach them14:51
yuvalI can not put it in the connector14:51
yuvallike in the cinder.conf14:52
erlonI wanted to call attention on this other OS brick patch: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/95537914:52
erlonIt has been the queue for quite some time, and we are getting pressure from our customer to get it fixed 14:52
yuvalso we agree the change is needed?14:54
RanjithRethinam@jbernard can someone pls review this PR for VMStore Cinder driver: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/971739 14:54
yuvalrosmaita: erlon: jbernard:14:54
jbernardRanjithRethinam: can you resolve the merge conflict?14:54
harshailanihello.. just wanted to ask a second +2 on the review: [IBM SVf Driver] Added support for volumegroup-snapshot for temporary volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/92684414:55
jbernarderlon: noted, ill try to mention it to rajat as he has reviewed previously14:56
rosmaitayuval: i think that makes sense ... os-brick has to use the discovery client, the location of the client may be specific to where os-brick is running, the cinder driver only knows the location of the discovery client cinder itself can use, so the driver cannot pass this info, it needs to be defined for each entity running os-brick14:57
rosmaita(that's my understanding, correct me if i'm inaccurate!)14:57
yuvalexactly yea, so I will update my commit with more info, why that is needed + example14:58
yuvalThank you for your time and discussion14:58
rosmaitaok, cool ... also you mention this in your release note, but you might want to say in the commit message that you have defined sensible defaults so that this may not be needed for all installations using lightos14:59
jbernardone minute remaining, last call14:59
raghavendratit would be great to receive review on below patch:14:59

raghavendratWe have kept minimal code. Thanks15:00
rosmaitaerlon: in the [os_brick] section of cinder.conf or nova.conf15:00
rosmaitaboth15:00
