16:02:12 <openstack> The meeting name has been set to 'hyper_v'
16:02:19 <primeministerp> hey everyone
16:02:30 <lazy_prince> hi all..
16:02:41 <alexpilotti> hi there
16:02:42 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: hey now
16:03:05 <primeministerp> ociuhandu: hi tavi
16:03:08 <primeministerp> luis_fdez: hi luis
16:03:16 <alexpilotti> primeministerp: lazy_prince is interested in how to test the Windows disk image builder
16:03:22 <primeministerp> o nice
16:03:34 <primeministerp> we can discuss that too
16:04:12 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: do we want to start there?
16:04:18 <alexpilotti> just started the conversation on #openstack-hyper-v and the timing was perfect for bringing it to the attention at the meeting
16:04:22 <lazy_prince> well.. we can discuss that at the end.. after all formal agenda is done..
16:04:24 <alexpilotti> I suggest so
16:04:33 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: we can start here
16:04:56 <primeministerp> #topic windows-disk-image-builder
16:05:29 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: is the discussion still at "where it should ruN"
16:05:37 <lazy_prince> okay.. so right now, openstack is resisting the tool bcoz we dont have testing framework for wordows related stuff there..
16:05:52 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: understood, it's kinda required
16:06:09 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: so you'd like us to pick up those tests in our ci?
16:06:31 <lazy_prince> so i checked with google and there were some linux alternatives available for DISM, WIM etc.. but could not find anything for powershell...
16:06:56 <primeministerp> meaning if you wanted to run the image creation on linux only
16:07:18 <alexpilotti> lazy_prince: there are a bunch of alternatives, but those won’t have MSFT support, which might be a concern
16:07:22 <lazy_prince> yes. i guess, then only openstack will agree for its adoption..
16:07:46 <lazy_prince> ale: yup. i agree
16:08:33 <lazy_prince> but i wanted to have minimal tests in openstack CI using linux tools and a full fleged tests using HyperV ci..
16:09:05 <lazy_prince> so that it gets adopted as well as tested too..
16:09:14 <lazy_prince> does it makes sense..?
16:09:23 <primeministerp> yeah thinking
16:10:11 <primeministerp> so do you know what will be needed to adquately test it?
16:11:02 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: ^
16:11:11 <lazy_prince> yup.. we currently plan to put the code on stackforge. I hope that should not be an issue for integrating with HyperV CI..
16:11:41 <lazy_prince> and so we just need the tool to create a basic image for now and then test it on a VM..
16:12:15 <lazy_prince> later on, we can extend the tests as and when we extend the tool..
16:13:30 <lazy_prince> now the question is where do i start..
16:14:42 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: so my only issue here
16:14:58 <primeministerp> is that we currently already have a set of tools which create windows images
16:15:04 <primeministerp> for anything
16:15:19 <primeministerp> which we currently consume
16:15:35 <primeministerp> and would ideally need to test w/in our ci first
16:15:54 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: would it make sense to discuss combining our efforts there?
16:16:08 <lazy_prince> aha.. thats okay.. i am not asking to update your tests..
16:16:21 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: it's not a matter of updating our tests
16:16:21 <lazy_prince> but all i am asking it to test it..
16:16:33 <primeministerp> we already have stuff for creating windows images
16:16:41 <primeministerp> i.e. a windows-image-builder
16:17:03 <primeministerp> now we create images as virtual
16:17:17 <primeministerp> but they can be preped for physical w/ the exact same code we already ahve
16:17:54 <lazy_prince> ok i get it..
16:18:07 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: I'm looking at it from the perspective it makes sense to collaborate around the one tool which we already use in our ci
16:18:26 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: and not duplicate efforts
16:18:38 <lazy_prince> I can take a look at it if there is a public repo available..
16:18:55 <primeministerp> yes there is
16:19:03 <lazy_prince> however, my goal was to create a tool to generate Image without standing up a VM..
16:19:06 <alexpilotti> lazy_prince: https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-openstack-imaging-tools
16:19:11 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: do you mind sending it to them
16:19:13 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: how?
16:19:19 <alexpilotti> primeministerp: ^
16:19:20 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: that's practically impossible
16:19:38 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: you'd have to dd it off the hw
16:19:41 <lazy_prince> using powershell DISM
16:20:13 <lazy_prince> we can create a vhd and then layoff everything on it using DISM..
16:20:47 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: i'm thinking about the process
16:20:48 <lazy_prince> we have tested it and it is definately possible...
16:20:53 <alexpilotti> lazy_prince: would you mind pasting the link to the repo w your tool?
16:21:07 <lazy_prince> sure.. give me a sec..
16:21:09 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: i'm trying to understand where in the process you are creating an image
16:21:11 <alexpilotti> lazy_prince: it is possible, it’s using standard DISM tools, so it’s all ok
16:21:31 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: on the backside of an unattended install
16:21:32 <alexpilotti> lazy_prince primeministerp we tested it as well
16:21:39 <primeministerp> ^?
16:22:02 <lazy_prince> https://github.com/slokesh184/windows-diskimage-builder.git
16:22:11 <lazy_prince> thats great...
16:23:02 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: reading now
16:23:42 <lazy_prince> from testing perspective, it should be fairly simple.. I think, everyone may need time to go through the tool, experiment with it..
16:24:18 <lazy_prince> and then probably, we can discuss about it in the next meeting.
16:24:26 <lazy_prince> is that okay..?
16:25:41 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: that's fine too
16:25:55 <lazy_prince> the future goal is to bring the tool on par with linux diskimage-builder..
16:25:59 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: let's setup a call if possible to discuss
16:26:17 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: but we'll need to take a look at it first
16:26:30 <lazy_prince> that should be fine with me..
16:26:52 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: perfect, if you want send some times which work for you at ppouliot@microsoft.com
16:27:53 <primeministerp> ok
16:27:58 <primeministerp> let's move on
16:28:03 <primeministerp> #topic development updates
16:28:09 <lazy_prince> sure.. I will check with my team and will send the timings to you.. do you have any prefered time that you want us to consider..?
16:28:18 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: EST is best for me
16:28:22 <primeministerp> I'm on the east coast
16:28:39 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: updates?
16:28:41 <lazy_prince> okay.. well I am on IST..
16:29:09 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: hmm
16:29:13 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: we'll figure something out
16:29:18 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: send some options
16:29:38 <alexpilotti> lazy_prince: are you coming to Paris by any chance?
16:31:35 <lazy_prince> yup.. will do do.. I cant say now, if I will be coming to paris.. but if I or anyone from my team travels, i will ask them to talk to you
16:32:10 <alexpilotti> ok tx!
16:32:46 <alexpilotti> some quick updates, since we started the topic
16:33:19 <alexpilotti> Nova blueprints are all in
16:33:37 <alexpilotti> we have one relatively new one, which is the sofy shutdown
16:33:45 <alexpilotti> *soft shutdown
16:34:13 <alexpilotti> it merged recently for KVM and we sent the patch for Hyper-V
16:34:22 <alexpilotti> should hopefully merge today
16:35:24 <alexpilotti> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/111291/
16:35:34 <alexpilotti> waiting for CI votes
16:36:24 <alexpilotti> on the CInder side, we were blocked by a refactoring patch which merged last Friday
16:36:40 <alexpilotti> we rebased the patches and today they are under review
16:37:00 <alexpilotti> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/106046/
16:37:12 <alexpilotti> #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/106057/
16:37:24 <alexpilotti> (the latter must be rebased on top of the first one)
16:37:44 <alexpilotti> for the rest all teh Tempest and Devstack patches merged
16:37:51 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: awesome
16:37:56 <alexpilotti> we have a new one for Tempest (neutron)
16:38:14 <alexpilotti> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118167/
16:38:31 <alexpilotti> but for Tempest we have no issues with code freeze
16:38:37 <primeministerp> #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/111291/
16:38:45 <alexpilotti> so it’s on a lower priority compared to the remaining BPs
16:38:53 <primeministerp> #link https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118167/
16:39:07 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: ok
16:39:19 <alexpilotti> I’ll add a full report on the bug fixes on teh next meeting
16:39:21 <primeministerp> alexpilotti: also I'm hoping we can light up the livemigration tests next week
16:39:45 <alexpilotti> yep, all teh Tempest work can be used right away in the CI since it merged
16:39:52 <primeministerp> ociuhandu: anything to add?
16:39:56 <primeministerp> luis_fdez: ?
16:40:01 <primeministerp> if not I think we're good for now
16:40:32 <primeministerp> lazy_prince: thanks for participating I look for forward to our followon
