tafkamaxHi, we have a question regarding live-migrate. Why do some nodes live-migrate really fast and some take many minutes up to 20 or so.08:34
tafkamaxI know it copies over RAM. But an VM with 8gb took many minutes and a vm with 24gb took 40 seconds or so.08:35
tafkamaxIt feels very random.08:35
tafkamaxWhere can I look for how this works and I can find a deterministic way to see why it varies so much?08:39

stephenfingibi: Could you re-apply your +2 on https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/986881? I'd to change two jobs to target py311 instead of py310 (see https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova/+/986881/1..4)13:23

tafkamaxhi nova gurus. I am reading about live migration. Would you recommend setting libvirt.live_migration_permit_auto_converge to true or  live_migration_permit_post_copy13:46
tafkamaxBoth are not silver bullets, but i would like to know you guyses experiences in the wild.13:46
tafkamaxwe have not gotten live migration timeouts13:46
tafkamaxbut some of them take a long time13:46
sean-k-mooneytafkamax: i generally recoemment prefering post copy over auto converge13:53
sean-k-mooneyif you enable both that is what libvirt will do internally13:53
tafkamaxok, i read that in the docs that post-copy seems to be preferred13:54
sean-k-mooneytafkamax: if you have a new enough nova you can also enabel multile tcp connection for live migration which is you pair that with a high bandwith nic helps alot13:54
sean-k-mooneythey are technially for 2 diffent things13:54
sean-k-mooneypost-copy is for memory bound vms which is typiclly the main issue13:54
sean-k-mooneyauto converge is a diffent aprpoch to the same problem where the vm is paused for longer and longer downtimes13:55
sean-k-mooneybasiclly to prevent ti form dirting the memory in the first place13:55
sean-k-mooneybut post-copy has much lower guest performance impact 13:55
tafkamaxok thanks for the info. will look into the tcp connection thing aswell13:56
sean-k-mooneythe tadeoff is that it extend the tiem where if there is a network interuption the guest can crash.13:56
sean-k-mooneythat is a very very rare event13:56
sean-k-mooneybut that is the reason its not on by default upstream13:56
sean-k-mooneywe have had post copy on by defualt in our downstream disto for a few years now13:57

melwittelodilles: hey I saw that you had WIP to fix grenade-skip-level-always on stable/2025.1 but I noticed now the failure looks more fundamental i.e. "AttributeError: module 'setuptools.build_meta' has no attribute 'prepare_metadata_for_build_editable'. Did you mean: 'prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel'?"18:20
melwittnot sure if there is a way to fix this or if this is a situation where the job would be better off removed from the branch. FYI for your interest :)18:21
opendevreviewDan Smith proposed openstack/nova-specs master: Add unpin-az spec  https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/nova-specs/+/98653918:22
