rosmaitabut it would be worth discussing at the midcycle, Rajat has some ideas but i don't know if he's proposed a spec12:33
Anoop_ShuklaSure. We are discussing this with a customer who wants this feature. They have some ideas they want to vet. May be we can take it up in the mid cycle.12:46
Anoop_ShuklaDo we have the etherpad for mid cycle?12:50

jbernardin place of our review festival, 1400 UTC14:11
jbernardetherpad is here: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-hibiscus-midcycles14:12
jbernardagenda is very thin so far14:12
jbernardwe need to take a look at cinder-spec and make sure they're in good shape14:12
Anoop_ShuklaO/14:13
jbernardlooking at our periodic jobs, things look good14:14
jbernardhttps://zuul.openstack.org/builds?project=openstack%2Fpython-cinderclient&project=openstack%2Fpython-brick-cinderclient-ext&pipeline=periodic-weekly&limit=1414:14
jbernardpy313 retried and passed14:14
rosmaita\o/14:14
rosmaitabtw, i miscounted, that should be "limit=18" to catch all the jobs14:15
agalicaI saw "and passed" out of the corner of my eye and thought someone had died14:15
agalicaI guess it's good news instead of bad news14:15

jbernard#topic ci docs followup with simon14:17
jbernardsimondodsley: i had made a note a few meetings ago to follow up with you14:17
jbernardsimondodsley: any updates or blockers the mention?14:17
jbernards/the/to14:18
simondodsleyyes - i haven't had much chance to work on this, but i di have an engineering resource now who is going to start looking at this14:18
jbernardthat's good news14:18
jbernard#topic boot volume backup/snapshot workflows14:20
jbernardAnoop_Shukla was asking about the status of this effort, if any exists14:21
Anoop_ShuklaI think its blocked based on volume type today?14:21
jbernardi haven't tried recently, is it indeed failing?14:22
Anoop_ShuklaIs there any reason a user cannot power off the vm and still cannot inplace revert a boot volume?14:22
Anoop_ShuklaSnapshoting should work..I think revert_to_snapshot wont.14:23
jbernardwhat error are you seeing?14:23
Anoop_ShuklaIt wouldnt map the volume because map call would not come to driver?14:24
jbernarddoes that imply that nova is holding on to the previous mapping?14:24
auniyalcan you pass link of failing test14:25
auniyallogs14:25
jbernardyes, need to see the error, that would help a lot14:25
auniyaldidn;t get the question actually14:25
simondodsleyi think it is because the volume status is still in_use even when the VM is shutdown, so revert_to_snapshot won't process14:26
simondodsleyshelving the instance should work14:27
Anoop_ShuklaIn an OpenStack-integrated environment using the NetApp Cinder driver, performing a “revert to snapshot” operation causes the original LUN to be destroyed and a new cloned LUN to be created. However, the newly created LUN is not automatically mapped back to the host initiators. As a result, the host loses access to the volume and the multipath devices fail. The issue is reproducible across all tested volumes. 14:27
Anoop_ShuklaManual mapping of the cloned LUN on the storage side restores access successfully.14:27
simondodsleyin your case does the new cloned lun have a different UUID?14:28
Anoop_ShuklaSo this workaround may work on the FC protocol, but iSCSI would require host rediscover14:28
agalicayeah, it's because you're creating a new LUN I suspect14:28
Anoop_ShuklaYes..its a new LUN Path14:29
Anoop_ShuklaWe delete the old LUN after restoring to a new volume14:29
jayaanandyea cloned LUN have different UUID14:29
simondodsleythen that is the issue - Nova retains the UUID of the boot volume, so you can't link the ne wLUN14:30
simondodsleyyou need to change the DB links14:30
jbernardcan we request nova to rediscover?14:30
Anoop_ShuklaIs there an API to rediscover that nova exposes?14:32
jayaanandcan we change UUID to original UUID?hacky?14:32
jbernard^ this might be where some of the work is14:32
Anoop_Shuklahmm14:32
jbernardAnoop_Shukla: you're welcome to propose a spec, there may be some other folks interested in helping get this together as well14:34
eharneyhow many drivers implement revert_to_snapshot by cloning a new volume?14:35
Anoop_ShuklaSure..we will work on a spec but may not be possible by mid cycle..14:35
Anoop_ShuklaBut good to discuss in mid cycle with everyone to answer questions that @eharney has and others may have14:36
jbernardAnoop_Shukla: yeah, it's going to be a non-trivial effort, especially with nova coordination required, but good to get things moving14:36
Anoop_ShuklaCool! Thanks14:37
jbernardAnoop_Shukla: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-hibiscus-midcycles14:37
Anoop_ShuklaI have added this topic under topics list in the mid cycle etherpad14:37
jbernardawesome, thanks14:38
jbernard#topic 2025.1 ci is blocked14:38
jbernardhttps://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=tempest-integrated-storage-ubuntu-jammy&skip=014:38
jbernardalso https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/215512514:38
jbernardthis is not great :)14:40
eharneythat bug is about pyproject.toml but 2025.1 doesn't have pyproject.toml?14:40
jbernardi might have the wrong link14:41
jbernardim not sure who added this item, is there any additional context for this one?14:41
auniyalwas afk, I added it14:42
jbernardi wonder what caused this to recently start failing, that's not supposed to happen on stable branchse14:43
auniyalyeah I didn;t look at bugs details - I saw stable/2025.1 was breaking so created and added it to discuss14:43
eharneythe latest 2025.1 run failed with a dependency error setting up tempest14:44
auniyalI wonder if its something with gmaan email regarding tempest - but not sure14:44
eharney"[qa][stable] Tempest master and stable/2025.1 ubuntu jammy jobs are broken" covers the requirements issue w/ tempest14:45
jbernardi just looked at what we've merged, nothing to suggest it's the cause, it looks like something changed externally14:45
eharneyhttps://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tempest/+/990436  looks like it fixes setuptools complaining about the license field14:47
jbernard^ that merged 5 days ago, but today's run agains 2025.1 is still failing, maybe more is needed14:49
eharneyyeah i'm confused on that part14:49
eharneyoh, no14:50
eharneywe only ran one today and it failed w/ the other bug14:50
jbernardam i right to conclude that we cannot fix this within our branch, we must wait for tempest to resolve?14:51
eharneyso https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tempest/+/991161 says that jammy jobs need to use a specific tempest tag to work now14:53
eharneyand i'm not sure that tempest-integrated-storage-ubuntu-jammy is doing that14:53
eharneygmaan: might be able to confirm14:54
jbernardin parallel, amit has composed a bug template for cinder's use14:55
jbernardhttps://paste.opendev.org/show/bf2pveEtDxaiLA3tmNqF/14:55
jbernardtake a look if you have a sec and post comments14:55
opendevreviewRajat Dhasmana proposed openstack/cinder master: Add contributor doc for OVO  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/99142914:56
auniyaleharney noticed we need to replace freenode with OFTC 14:56
jbernardyep14:57
jbernardotherwise it looks fine to me14:57
jbernardunless there are any comments, ok to put this into use?14:58
eharneyi'm not sure about the sosreport part14:59
jbernardit's stated as optional15:00
auniyalyeah its optional - but if people can provide somehow thats best15:00
gmaaneharney: auniyal let me know if any job failing now, and i can propose fix as i mentioned in email.15:00
erloni would say that markdown is a better more adopted format15:00
gmaantempest changes/fix are merged now15:00
auniyalboth ubunut and fedora family provide utility15:00
jbernardgmaan: our 2025.1 tests are failing15:01
erlonwhere will that one live?15:01

jbernardgmaan: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/builds?job_name=tempest-integrated-storage-ubuntu-jammy&skip=015:01
gmaanjbernard: auniyal ack, will propose fix soon15:01
jbernardthanks15:01
auniyalerlon in lunachpad - https://launchpad.net/cinder, while creating new bug15:02
jbernarderlon: the aim is to gather necessary information early to reduce the back-and-forth of asking for steps, versions, logs, etc15:02
auniyalpeople will see template to fill - it will copy paste and then update15:03
erlonyes, it's a great idea. I haven't looked the contents but the first thing that called my attention was the formatting. 15:03
erlonIs there a way to pre-fill the bug? I have just opened the bug form and today it doesn't pre-fill anything right?15:04
eharneyit mentions creating a "Request for Feature Enhancements" but i'm not sure the term RFE shows up anywhere in our launchpad?15:05
auniyalin general rfe can be used as tag15:06
auniyalonce report is filled people can tag it with rfe - then all rfe's will show up15:06
eharneyi don't think we've done that historically... such items are marked as Wishlist in the importance field15:07
erlonauniyal: jbernard: I think we should create a patch adding that to the cinder contributor documentation. Then we have a place to better discuss it now and improve it in the future if we need. If we decide to put it there, then rst is the best format15:09
jbernarderlon: you're suggesting we add the template to the repo so we can iterate?15:11
erlonyes15:11
auniyalI think it should already be there how to create new bug - but rfe is for sure new. I guess most of the time downstream people start spec directly or discuss it in PTG 15:11
erlonhttps://github.com/openstack/cinder/tree/master/doc/source/contributor15:12
auniyalhttps://github.com/openstack/cinder/blob/master/doc/source/contributor/launchpad.rst#bug-tracking15:12
erlonAs a matter of fact, we already have some documentation for lunch pad 15:12
erlonyep15:12
jbernardwe can update the contributer docs, that seems fine with me15:14
auniyalwe can skip rfe - but I think its good to have, anyway well ask repoter to create spec if dont want to we will discuss the importance of it in PTG. buts its good to see what new people want in Cinder15:15
jbernardwhen it lands we can update the LP config, but someone needs to remember to keep them in sync15:15
jbernardauniyal: i see what you're saying, i dont think we ever used the wishlist tag for that purpose15:16
auniyaljbernard ack, sure we can skip it15:17
auniyalplease check if stuff under Environment is correct - that should help 15:18
auniyalnew people while creating bug they are not sure why its coming15:19
jbernardauniyal: lets get this into a contributer doc patch, that way we can collect comments and have a record15:20
jbernardauniyal: and update LP when it merges, I think it's really close15:20
auniyalyou mean add bug template in user docs ?15:21
auniyal*contributer15:21
auniyalwe can collect comment from etherpad too 15:21
auniyalbut yeah its better to dicuss in sync here 15:22
auniyalsure I'll a patch - but I dont think it should be merged15:22
auniyal*I'll create - we should agree there and then update launchpad15:23
jbernardi think its helpful to have somethign to refer to if we later want to make edits15:23
jbernardsounds good15:23
auniyalack lets start with it - I'll push patch15:23
jbernardauniyal: ack, thanks for this work15:24
auniyal:) 15:24
jbernardok, that's all we've got for agenda and we're over time, anything that /needs/ to be covered right now?15:25
