14:17:03 <whoami-rajat_> added
14:17:04 <whoami-rajat_> thanks
14:17:55 <happystacker> thks Rajat
14:18:57 <whoami-rajat_> np
14:19:02 <whoami-rajat_> okay moving on to topics then
14:19:04 <whoami-rajat_> #topic os-brick release
14:19:09 <whoami-rajat_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/releases/+/909400
14:19:21 <whoami-rajat_> as stated earlier, os-brick release is scheduled tomorrow
14:19:34 <whoami-rajat_> we have a few patches that are requested for the release
14:19:46 <whoami-rajat_> which we will need to merge today else it will be hard to make it into the release
14:20:12 <whoami-rajat_> first one is by Takashi, who would like to deprecate the windows driver connector
14:20:13 <whoami-rajat_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/900913
14:20:39 <whoami-rajat_> I'm not sure about our policy on deprecating os-brick connectors
14:20:42 <bryanneumann> Thanks Rajat
14:21:06 <whoami-rajat_> can anyone take a quick look and see if it makes sense?
14:21:51 <whoami-rajat_> generally our connectors are generic (iscsi, fc, nvme) so even though we have deprecated drivers, i never came across a connector deprecation
14:22:43 <eharney> this is only used to run openstack on windows, right?
14:23:00 <whoami-rajat_> that's my understanding
14:23:42 <eharney> the same deprecation warnings are already in oslo libraries, so makes sense to me
14:25:22 <whoami-rajat_> the patches in oslo.concurrency and oslo.log are also merged
14:25:28 <whoami-rajat_> okay, so this seems to be a good idea
14:25:43 <whoami-rajat_> I will review it mentioning our meeting discussion
14:25:49 <whoami-rajat_> need another core to merge it though
14:27:34 <whoami-rajat_> any volunteers? we need to roll out the brick release tomorrow :D
14:27:50 <jbernard> o/
14:28:02 <whoami-rajat_> great, thanks jbernard !
14:28:39 <whoami-rajat_> next, Followup: releasenote for LVM unchecked versions
14:29:06 <whoami-rajat_> so on this patch, eharney mentioned that he has another patch to remove check for more lvm versions
14:29:30 <whoami-rajat_> so i updated the releasenote and rebased on top of eharney's patch
14:29:38 <whoami-rajat_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/891319
14:29:44 <whoami-rajat_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/909612/3
14:29:52 <whoami-rajat_> here are the two patches that needs review
14:30:21 <eharney> the release note looks good -- fwiw, i doubt it's possible to run current cinder/os-brick on any machines that would have versions of LVM this old
14:31:15 <rosmaita> whoami-rajat: my only suggestion would be to add "released in 2015" to the release note, to make it obvious that this change is not a big deal
14:31:52 <whoami-rajat_> i feel the same, but i like geguileo's idea to add it just for awareness
14:32:03 <whoami-rajat_> rosmaita, good idea, updating
14:32:55 <whoami-rajat_> rosmaita, done
14:33:24 <rosmaita> eharney: later, when you have a few minutes, i had a question on the windows deprecation patch https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/900913
14:33:30 <rosmaita> whoami-rajat: ty!
14:37:03 <whoami-rajat_> okay last one
14:37:07 <whoami-rajat_> #link https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/876284
14:37:18 <whoami-rajat_> this one is for the scaleio connector
14:37:36 <whoami-rajat_> i think rosmaita and I already took a look and were waiting for CI to pass
14:37:42 <whoami-rajat_> which i see is reporting now
14:38:11 <whoami-rajat_> yian, is it called the powerflex driver now?
14:38:24 <yian> yes, powerflex driver
14:38:48 <whoami-rajat_> okay thanks
14:38:50 <jproque-dell> historically, there was ScaleIO, VxFlexOS and then finally PowerFlex
14:38:56 <whoami-rajat_> upgraded my vote
14:39:10 <jproque-dell> Thks Rajat
14:39:46 <whoami-rajat_> jproque-dell, yeah, i tend to forget since we never updated the os-brick connector as it's not user facing - but again we have to deal with the confusion
14:39:51 <whoami-rajat_> anyway thanks for clarifying
14:40:21 <whoami-rajat_> i think rosmaita would like to be the second reviewer here?
14:40:25 <jproque-dell> yeah maybe some day we'll need to rebrand it
14:40:41 <rosmaita> yeah, looking now .... trying to remember what was going on there
14:42:08 <rosmaita> just a reminder that it's really important that the third-party CI is green on these patches (failures don't block the openstack gate, so you have to check manually)
14:42:28 <rosmaita> you can see what happened when a patch got merged that didn't have green dell CI
14:43:00 <jproque-dell> absolutely, we have the PowerMax CI which is down because of an unplanned outage last week. Team is currently working on it
14:43:13 <rosmaita> btw, did someone from dell go back and fix that logging patch that got reverted?
14:43:13 <jproque-dell> just to let you know
14:43:28 <jproque-dell> that's in our backlog yes
14:43:55 <rosmaita> great
14:44:28 <rosmaita> ok, https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/876284 is approved
14:44:52 <yian> thank you
14:44:55 <jproque-dell> Excellent
14:45:01 <whoami-rajat_> rosmaita, AFAIR, the new format to read password doesn't return any token and that case wasn't handled
14:45:05 <whoami-rajat_> great
14:45:20 <whoami-rajat_> looks like we are almost ready for the brick release
14:45:58 <whoami-rajat_> that's all i had for this topic, will follow up on the cinder channel
14:46:01 <rosmaita> still need another +2 on your release note, or should i ninja-approve it as a doc change?
14:46:40 <jungleboyj> rosmaita:  Which review.  I can +2
14:46:55 <rosmaita> jungleboyj: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/os-brick/+/909612/4
14:47:18 <jungleboyj> On it.
14:47:40 <whoami-rajat_> thanks rosmaita and jungleboyj
14:48:46 <whoami-rajat_> okay that's all from my side
14:48:47 <whoami-rajat_> next topic
14:48:50 <whoami-rajat_> #topic Any update on defining the correct Ceph auth / caps?
14:49:36 <whoami-rajat_> crohmann would like to know about if anyone is looking into the ceph auth caps
14:49:42 <crohmann> That's me nagging about this again to get this down into a patch towards the docs.
14:51:48 <jproque-dell> guys, I need to drop. Thanks for your help! ttyl
14:51:55 <whoami-rajat_> thanks jproque-dell
14:52:58 <eharney> it's a good idea, i think we should also implement the same minimum caps in devstack-plugin-ceph so we can test it
14:53:15 <crohmann> eharney: yes, that was among the things I complained about ;-)
14:53:41 <eharney> i haven't looked at this deeply enough to know what the difference is between what we do now and what the ideal would be
14:53:42 <crohmann> There is a bug I raised and an ML post (looong). But in the end this is about getting 5 lines of config properly documented and nothing new.
14:54:59 <crohmann> But I think it's sad that there is no reference, but that all them deployment tools start doing something. But it should be the software requiring those caps to define, document and test it.
14:55:07 <crohmann> s/it/them/
15:00:17 <whoami-rajat_> we are out of time
15:00:26 <whoami-rajat_> please take a look at features for next week
15:00:44 <whoami-rajat_> also if there are any client changes, do mention it
15:00:54 <whoami-rajat_> finally take a look at the review request section
15:00:58 <whoami-rajat_> it's a long pile!
15:01:02 <whoami-rajat_> thanks everyone for attending
