jbernard#annoucements14:05
jbernardthis week is the D-2 milestone14:05
jbernardwe have extended the spec freeze deadline14:05
* jbernard digs for the link14:06

jbernardi added the weekend to account for the holidays for some this week14:06
jbernardcertainly myself, this weeks is complete chaos over here14:07
whoami-rajati think we meant to say July 07th right?14:07
jbernardyes, what did we say?14:07
whoami-rajatJune 7th?14:07
jbernardyep, i blew it :P14:07
whoami-rajat:D14:07
jbernards/June/July14:07
ybenshimjoin #openstack-meeting-alt14:07
jbernardybenshim: you're already here :)14:08
whoami-rajatno worries, it should be clear enough, or we can add a reply to that thread correcting it14:08
jbernard#action update the list to correct spec freeze typo14:08
jbernardalso14:09
jbernardthis week, according to our schedule, is new driver merge deadline14:09
jbernardwe currently have 2 proposed:14:09
jbernard#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/92102014:10
jbernard^ ceastor14:10
jbernardand14:10
jbernard#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/92301614:10
jbernard^ zte vstorage14:10
jbernardthere has not been any response on ceastor14:10
jbernardand there is currently no CI14:10
whoami-rajati don't see CI on ZTE as well14:11
jbernardnor do i14:11
jbernardwe may miss the deadline for those on this cycle14:12
jbernardand we can begin looking at E for these, that should be enough time to implement CI14:12
jbernardthere is one other question raised related to new drivers, from raghavendra14:13
jbernard#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/91942414:13
jbernard^ this adds NVMe FC support to the HPE 3par driver14:14
jbernardthe question was wether or not this is a new driver, or an addition to an existing one14:14
jbernardi believe this one does have CI coverage from HEP14:14
jbernards/HEP/HPE14:14
simondodsleyThis isn't technically a new driver, just adding a new dataplane to existing driver code, so as long as there is a CI reporting for the new dataplane it should be OK14:16
jbernardi think as the patch is adding nvme.py file to drivers, it looks like a new driver to me14:16
jbernardsimondodsley: ok, im fine with that14:16
*** bauzas_ is now known as bauzas14:16
jbernardeither way, it's passing unit tests and 3rd party CI14:16
whoami-rajatdo we support nvme FC ? -- from os-brick perspective14:16
jbernardwhoami-rajat: an excellent question :)14:17
jbernardim assuming some baseline amount of functionality is present, else their CI would not be passing14:18
simondodsleyno - there is no support for nvme-fc in os-brick14:18
simondodsleyso actually that driver can't work14:18
jbernardis there a related patch to os-brick for that? I'm confused how this is expected to merge without os-brick support14:19
whoami-rajattheir CI is passing but clicking on the logs, it redirects to a github repo which has no content14:19
simondodsleythere is no os-brick patch for nvme-fc.14:20
jbernardthen there you have it :)14:20
jbernard#action add comment to 3par patch (nvme-fc) to request os-brick support and CI coverage14:20
simondodsleyPure are providing Red Hat with an NVMe-FC capable array so they can develop one if they want, but currently Gorka is not allowed to develop it, even though he wants to14:20
raghavendratok14:21
simondodsleythere are specific nvme calls for nvme-fc that os-brick does not yet have. Pure are waiting on this too14:21
jbernardsimondodsley: thanks for the context14:23
jbernard#topics14:23
jbernarda couple of drivers have been deprecated14:23
jbernardmost notably the gluster driver14:24
jbernard#link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/92316314:24
eharneyyeah just wanted to mention this, it's the gluster backup driver14:24
eharneywe got rid of the volume driver a while back14:24
eharneyseems like a good time to do this unless anyone has a reason not to14:24
toskysimondodsley: a clarification about that - are you sure it's Gorka not "allowed" to?14:25
simondodsleyRed Hat won't give hin the time to do it as they don't beleive there are any customers requesting this protocol. He even went and spent his own money on a Gen5 NVMe-FC card14:26
jbernardeharney: +114:26
toskysimondodsley: that's not the story, but I'd advice you talking with him14:27
toskytalking again14:27
simondodsleythat's what he told me a few months ago14:28
simondodsleyi'll re chat with him14:28
geguileoI think I was summoned...14:29
geguileoWhat's up?14:29
simondodsleystatus of os-brick for nvme-fc please...14:29
jbernardgeguileo: a question came up regarding support is os-brick for NVMe-FC14:29
geguileoOh yeah, it's not supported14:30
geguileoI bought an HBA that supported it and could connect one port to the other to work on this14:30
jbernardis there any interest or motivation from others to add support? (in your view)14:30
geguileoBut unfortunately priorities didn't help14:30
rosmaitageguileo: so, in your opinion, a third party CI running nvme-fc is probably not really working if it doesn't include os-brick patches14:31
geguileojbernard: I think customers will eventually ask for it14:31
geguileorosmaita: It cannot work, because it cannot attach volumes14:31
jbernardgeguileo: curious, which HBA did you get?14:31
simondodsleyexactly14:31
geguileojbernard: Once customer start asking for it there will be a justification for me to work on this instead of the other things customers are asking for14:31
geguileojbernard: HPE SN1100Q 16Gb 2p FC HBA14:32
jbernardraghavendrat: are there any efforts on your side to work on this? - as it will be needed in order to land the existing patch to 3par14:33
jbernardgeguileo: thanks14:33
geguileoRight now, if none of our customers are going to use it, then it's not a priority, and I don't have enough cycles right now to work on things just because I want to14:33
jbernardthat's understandable14:34
jbernardim hoping to capture the current state as best we can in this meeting to we can refer back later14:34
jbernardone more minute and we can move onto review requests14:35
simondodsleyas i said Pure are in the process of providing a storage array to Red Hat free of charge that is NVMe-FC capable to help with this effort when it gets started14:35
raghavendratif i understand correctly, with nvme-fc, only create/delete volume will work14:37
raghavendratattach/detach volume won't work. right ?14:37
geguileoraghavendrat: Correct14:37
geguileoCreating a snapshot will also work, although it won't do any good since there won't have any data14:37
geguileoManage/unmanage will work as well14:38
raghavendratfor now, HPE is ok with basic nvme-fc support... we can look for attach/detach later.14:38
geguileoBasically only things unrelated to nvme-fc will work14:38
geguileoraghavendrat: The thing is that it doesn't make sense to have an NVMe-FC driver in Cinder when OpenStack doesn't support the technology14:38
geguileoIt would lead to confussion14:39
jbernardraghavendrat: we need to have basic functionality, which includes attach and detach, to be able to meet the bar for inclusion; that's my view at least14:40
geguileoThough it'd be good to hear other cores opinions14:40
whoami-rajatraghavendrat, so the CI jobs excludes tests related to attachment? the logs are currently unavailable on the git repo mentioned on the CI job so it would better if we can upload it in a similar format as other CIs14:40
msaravanCouple of customers of NetApp, waiting for Cinder NVMe FCP 14:40
geguileojbernard: Yeah, my view as well14:40
geguileomsaravan: Are they RH customers?14:40
geguileoBecause last time I asked Pure's customers interested in it were not RH customers14:41
whoami-rajatattach detach are mandatory operations for a driver to merge https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/reference/support-matrix.html14:41
msaravanOne is RH, and other is using JIJU 14:41
raghavendratthanks geguileo: for sharing details... whoami-rajat: i will look at CI again14:41
msaravan@geguileo : I can share more details offline if required.. 14:42
geguileomsaravan: let's talk offline to see if we can get some traction14:42
geguileooffline == after meeting14:42
msaravan@geguileo : sure, thank you.. 14:42
raghavendratthanks jbernard and simondodsley14:44
jbernardraghavendrat: no problem, it would nice to see these pieces come together14:45
jbernard#topic review request14:45
jbernardthere are a few:14:46
jbernard#link https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-dalmatian-meetings#L10114:46
jbernardfeel free to raise any specific points on any of them14:46
jbernardif anyone has cycles, these are in need of attention this week14:47
jbernardLuzi: your specs are on my list as well14:48
Luzithank you14:48
eharneyit's probably worth mentioning that we have patches for a CVE working their way through the gates this morning:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/205980914:48
jbernardeharney: oh yes!14:49
jbernardI don't think there is anything actionable remaining from cinder, just something to be aware of14:50
eharneyjust baby-sitting gate failures14:50
jbernardand thanks to rosmaita and eharney for working on that14:51
jbernard#topic open discussion14:51
zaitcevjbernard: how do I make sure that my spec is targeted for D-2? https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder-specs/+/86260114:52
whoami-rajatjust wanted to highlight my patch, been sitting for a while, it's a small one, already has a +2 and needed to have SDK support of default volume types https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/cinder/+/92030814:53
andrewbonneyIf anyone has chance, I'd appreciate any thoughts on https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/2070475, just to identify if it looks like a bug or a deployment issue14:53
whoami-rajatshouldn't take more than 2 mins for a core to approve :D14:53
jbernardzaitcev: i think being targeted to D means that it is subject to the milestones and schedule for the current release14:56
jbernardzaitcev: does that answer your question?14:56
zaitcevjbernard: So, what is left for me to do? Just ask for more (re-)reviews?14:57
jbernardandrewbonney: can you add that to the etherpad?14:57
jbernardandrewbonney: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/cinder-dalmatian-meetings#L10114:57
jbernardandrewbonney: even though it's not a patch, it helps to have those requests all in once place14:58
andrewbonneySure, would it be best under this week or a future one?14:58
jbernardzaitcev: beg, barter, pester, whatever you need to do :)14:58
jbernardandrewbonney: this one is fine, just so that it has more visibility14:59
andrewbonneyOk14:59
jbernardandrewbonney: at least for me, i go back through the etherpad and action items later in the week15:00
jbernardok, that's time!15:00
jbernardthanks everyone15:00

whoami-rajatthanks everyone!15:00
whoami-rajatandrewbonney, are you running the online data migrations before doing the db sync?15:04
whoami-rajatadded a comment to the LP bug15:07
andrewbonneyTa. I'll double check and feed anything back there15:11
andrewbonneyIs the upgrade guide at https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/admin/upgrades.html still accurate in that respect? Migrations appear to be a post-maintenance step 15:13
whoami-rajatandrewbonney, those migrations were added in the Yoga release so looks like they were never run15:16
*** bauzas_ is now known as bauzas15:27
andrewbonneyOk. They certainly should have run as they're included as a step in the openstack ansible role, but that gives me something to investigate on a deployment which hasn't been upgraded yet15:38
*** bauzas_ is now known as bauzas23:43
