rosmaitaabout https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/926844 ... i am fine with the revision, but assumed that the 1K gerrit update limit will prevent us from merging14:18

raghavendrathttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97100214:28
raghavendratSomeone put a comment: 2024.1 is unmaintained, cinder cannot merge this14:28
yuval_what do we think about AI assisted patches or patches written completely by AI. how do we deal with that?14:28
raghavendratis there any other team that can merge this please?14:28
jbernardraghavendrat: that was me14:28
eharneyyuval_: https://openinfra.org/legal/ai-policy14:29
jbernardraghavendrat: there is a different unmaintained team that has +2 ability, cinder doesn't have that14:29
erlon\o late14:29
raghavendratis there a separate IRC channel for unmaintained ?14:30
yuval_eharney: thanks 14:30
rosmaitaraghavendrat: i think so, check your irc channel list14:30

opendevreviewEric Harney proposed openstack/cinder master: Require Gazpacho oslo.service  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97563714:32
jbernarddone14:32
erlonnp, its been a bit busy around here, so I couldn't get the time I wanted for reviews this week14:33
jbernardi can relate :)14:34
* noonedeadpunk has a couple of review requests as well :)14:35
jbernardnoonedeadpunk: sure14:35
noonedeadpunk#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/95942514:35
noonedeadpunkthe spec for this change has been merged14:35
noonedeadpunkso it would be nice to get it in eventually14:36
noonedeadpunkAnd I assume we're out of spec approval window now, so I guess I need to re-propose second one for 2026.2?14:36
jbernardyep, will do14:36
noonedeadpunk#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-specs/+/96230614:36
jbernardyes, curious if rosmaita and simone have followups14:37
jbernardi think we can technically review and merge a spec before the start of the target cycle14:38
rosmaitawell, i don't like https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-specs/+/962306 but i'm not sure i would block it either14:39
rosmaitait adds some operator responsibility that i think is asking for trouble, but that's just my opinion14:39
opendevreviewEric Harney proposed openstack/cinder-tempest-plugin master: WIP: new extend after snapshot test  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-tempest-plugin/+/97556114:39
rosmaitanoonedeadpunk did answer my concerns on the review, so they are there for other reviewers to think about14:40
noonedeadpunkwell, we kinda want a way to strucutre the backups on underlying systems14:40
noonedeadpunkinstead of placing everything in a single bucket, which is really problematic14:41
rosmaitai agree that the goal is good14:41
rosmaitaand it could be that this is the only way to do it14:41
noonedeadpunkyeah, implementation is kinda limited by current flow...14:41
rosmaitai'm just not sure14:42
opendevreviewHarsh Ailani proposed openstack/cinder master: [IBM SVf Driver] Added support for volumegroup-snapshot for temporary volumegroup  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97563814:42
noonedeadpunkif there's an idea how to do it differently - I'm happy to check on it and re-write the spec14:42
rosmaitanoonedeadpunk: if you dont' get any action on your specs in the next few days, put a discussion on the agenda for the midcycle14:42
erlonnoonedeadpunk: so, just to confirm that doesn't change the default behavior right?14:43
erlonbackup_create_containers=True, means it will continue to create new containers (even that might mean a container with the wrong name, which is what the change is trying to fix)14:44
harshrosmaita jbernard : I created the new review : 975638: [IBM SVf Driver] Added support for volumegroup-snapshot for temporary volumegroup | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/97563814:44
rosmaitaack14:44
noonedeadpunkerlon: no, it does not change the default behavior14:45
noonedeadpunkI think the change tries to allow operator to avoid such cases, while not breaking ones who rely on it14:46
erlonI think that might lead to unpredictable behavior during cloud updates. By leaving the default as false, we still allow those affected by this issue to intentionally 'fix' the behavior for their clouds.14:48
erlonnoonedeadpunk: would that solve the problem for you?14:48
noonedeadpunkerlon: um. I am confused now. today cinder-backup does create containers whenever client asks for it. So `backup_create_containers=True` preserves existing behavior, right?14:50
erlonnow Im confused, lol14:50
noonedeadpunkand your suggestion is to change the behavior or keep it?14:50
noonedeadpunkas I was trying to keep existing thing by default14:51
erlonyes, I think we're talking the same thing. We both want the behavior to be preserved. I asked you to confirm if 'backup_create_containers=True', preserves the current behavior, which seems to be the case.14:52
noonedeadpunkyes, it does preserve the behavior14:52
noonedeadpunk(at least that was the intention :D)14:53
erlonah, ok, it was my understanding from my review as well. so, in that case I think we are good to go in that change.14:53
jbernardcool, noonedeadpunk if you want to retarget the spec, we should be able to reach a consensus quickly14:55
jbernard5 minutes remain, anything else to cover?14:56
kaisersone more small review request: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/967672 (1x +2 so far), would be great to have it reviewed by another core, it's an unsupported flag removal14:56
raghavendrateharney: i tried to address comments on below patch: New cinder driver for HPE Alletra MP14:56
raghavendrathttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/96937314:57
raghavendratIt would be great if you could revisit patch. Thanks.14:57
nimeshdesaiNeed reviews on the register Plugin patches from IBM, these have been discussed in the past and all comments addressed - [IBM SVf driver] Adding support for CINDER plugin registration | https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/95182914:57
erlonraghavendrat: I dropped another review today on that one if you can address those14:57
noonedeadpunkjbernard: if it's too late for this cycle, I'm fine to re-target it14:57
jbernardnoonedeadpunk: hmm, is the code up already?14:58
nimeshdesaiIBM patches are also added in the festival of reviews etherpad14:58
