It is +1/+1, and ready for core reviews. I mentioned it in #openstack-nova yesterday, and will bring it up in the meeting on Thursday. 14:05:04 https://review.openstack.org/438598 (#2) is jenkins/CI +1, ready for in-house review. This makes spawn/delete actually create/destroy the LPAR. No TaskFlow, no extra_specs. 14:05:42 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/427380/ is power on/off & reboot, now third in the chain, because why not. It's jenkins/CI +1, ready for in-house review. 14:06:02 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/438729/ adds TaskFlow. Ready for in-house review. 14:06:34 https://review.openstack.org/#/c/391288/ adds flavor extra specs, and brings us up to where that change set was before, with one small exception: no conf. 14:07:32 #action all: Review in-tree changesets 14:07:38 Nod. 14:07:59 I'll continue to work on piling the rest on top. 14:08:21 Now, to smooth the way for core reviews, we got some advice that we should be reviewing their stuff too. 14:08:28 I tried to do some of that yesterday. 14:08:55 TBH, most of it is beyond me. I can check for spelling and formatting errors, or procedural stuff, but that's usually it. 14:09:20 sorry for joining late 14:09:24 But I guess we learn as we go. Thanks tonyb for the tips on reviewing stable/* - will keep that in mind. 14:09:27 efried: Honestly, even that is OK. 14:09:36 with a comment that you just looked at code structure 14:10:14 And I'll pick up on some of the functionality the more I do it, which is overall a good thing. 14:10:23 +1 14:10:36 #action all: Do some nova reviews. 14:11:06 Anything else in-tree? 14:13:37 Not from me. thorst adreznec ? 14:13:53 nada (at end I'd like to propose a new topic be added to the meeting though) 14:13:57 Nope 14:14:24 We got anything OOT? 14:14:48 I don't 14:14:52 if we have new blueprints, it'd be a good time to file them. 14:15:14 there was discussion at the PTG about new blueprints. Some will impact us. We need to do a review and see where we have new work to do there 14:15:24 Yeah, and at some point here we're probably going to want to look over the Pike blueprints in general 14:15:34 adreznec: were you setting something up for that? 14:15:42 thorst: Sure, I can set something up 14:15:45 I get to play the card of, fairly soon I'll be out of here 14:15:50 (baby and all) 14:16:25 Ugh, I have a moldy on my radar for SR-IOV max bandwidth. And another for SR-IOV stats for ceilometer. 14:17:28 I fear that may exceed my max bandwidth. 14:17:31 I'd be more interested in the SR-IOV stats persionally 14:17:46 yeah, lets do a review of the Pike blueprints, because I suspect there are more important things in there. 14:18:10 Looking into ways for us to get more bw as well... 14:18:30 #action all: Review pike blueprints 14:19:18 Don't we normally do that by having someone (adreznec) set up a wiki page with a big table of all the blueprints, and then have a series of calls to discuss them? 14:19:35 efried: Yeah, I'll scrape that data together again 14:19:42 Thanks adreznec 14:21:48 Alright next topic 14:21:56 #topic CI 14:22:08 CI is looking good again after that bug this weekend 14:22:45 One of the ssp groups is down, I'm going to get that back up today 14:23:26 esberglu Gonna tell them what happened there? ;-) 14:23:27 esberglu: Any idea what caused it to go down? Network? SAN? VIOS just angry? 14:23:40 Oh, please, can I? 14:23:54 Haha sure 14:24:23 * thorst curious 14:24:36 esberglu reinstalled one of the nodes, and accidentally specified the SSP repo & one of the data disks as the nvl & VIOS boot disks. 14:24:57 hah 14:25:10 totally understandable that this could happen 14:25:14 Totally. 14:25:17 it should be brought up with Hsien in NL scrum 14:25:18 I blame the installer. 14:25:23 because I could see a user doing that. 14:25:24 tote 14:25:27 totes 14:25:27 Mhm 14:25:28 efried: I went through the installer again yesterday afternoon, didn't see anywhere to specify disks? 14:25:43 Problem is, how would you know if the disks are in use? 14:25:46 esberglu: That's the problem it seems. The installer just picks the 'biggest disk' 14:25:55 and that's a super problem when it comes to SSPs. 14:25:56 Well, no, the repo disk was the smallest by far. 14:26:03 So something else happened there. 14:26:04 maybe its smallest disk 14:26:09 there is some decision logic in there. 14:26:15 we need Hsien/Minh to weigh in 14:26:24 I thought you got the option to select disks 14:26:31 SDE mode you do 14:26:36 ...without actually going into that text file at the end. 14:26:36 not standard. 14:26:38 efried: I don't think we expose that for standard nvl 14:26:46 Wow, that seems like a mistake. 14:26:48 (against my wishes) 14:26:51 Yeah 14:26:55 We should definitely revisit that 14:27:09 Is there a decent way to identify local vs. SAN disks? 14:27:25 Cause that would be a reasonable criterion too, for defaulting. Use local disks first. That would have avoided this problem. 14:27:51 But regardless, we should definitely be prompting the user, I would think. 14:29:06 Okay, so 14:29:23 #action esberglu to re-reinstall that node and rebuild the SSP 14:29:42 #action adreznec thorst to corner @changh & @minhn about disk selection in the installer. 14:30:05 The other thing I wanted to do was track down the neo systems that were slated for OSA CI 14:30:21 I think wangqwsh has neo4 and we were going to use that 14:30:38 and the other was neo50 and I think thorst: has that? 14:30:51 esberglu: I thought that we were just adding them to our overall pool 14:30:59 and that our overall pool actually had enough capacity as is 14:31:07 so if we can keep those systems for other work...I'd like that for now 14:31:16 if we're at capacity and need more, that's another issue 14:31:28 I'd be interested to know what our utilization looks like 14:31:40 especially since we're looking at adding the OSA CI now 14:31:45 On top of the OOT and in-tree runs 14:31:48 right. 14:32:26 so maybe lets first figure out utilization, and then see if we need another pool? 14:32:30 Oh yeah I wanted to mention that. We haven't been running ceilometer / neutron since the in-tree stuff 14:32:53 At all? 14:33:09 We should have enough capacity for all of that once I get this SSP back up 14:33:44 yikes. 14:33:45 Yeah 14:36:29 What else? 14:36:38 Just thinking about the OSA CI development 14:36:51 the OVS bits there...need to dig up those notes 14:36:57 It will really limit us to have to share staging between OSA CI dev 14:36:58 I think we were going to do some deploy with vxlan networks 14:37:10 And testing changes for the current CI 14:37:21 esberglu: I think we can maybe ask qingwu for neo4 to be part of that 14:37:29 I think its essentially free atm 14:37:50 Okay 14:38:19 #action: esberglu: See if we can use neo4 for CI 14:38:33 congrats though on the stability of the CI...I'm pretty impressed with how you've been keeping it going so well 14:38:45 +1 14:39:30 Thanks 14:39:51 time for new topic discussion or other things to move on to? 14:40:03 New topic 14:40:20 so we have nbante and Jay helping us with testing. Which has been great. 14:40:54 but I think that we should add a topic around 'what new functions were added this week that could benefit from a test run from them' 14:41:01 second set of eyes type thing 14:41:47 thoughts? 14:42:13 For sure. At least those two should be involved in this meeting and we should have a topic around what they're up to and what's on their horizon. 14:42:26 How are they testing? Just curious 14:43:11 bjayasan is using devstack, pulling down in-tree change sets, and manually running nova CLI spawn/delete, etc. 14:43:40 He's eventually supposed to be trying to set up and run tempest. 14:44:01 And looking toward potentially developing some PowerVM-specific tempest tests. 14:44:03 yeah...intention is bjayasan uses the in-tree tempest config. nbante deploys via OSA and uses the oot tempest ci config (to give a SDE style env a go) 14:44:17 I sucessfully setup OSA on last Friday , where I able to do some basic deploy using UI 14:44:45 I am exporing those options now. Next step is to configure temptest 14:45:09 nbante: we've got some experience there, so I think we'll be able to help out :-) 14:45:25 that's good 14:45:26 nbante Can you coordinate with esberglu and bjayasan to get that going for both of you? 14:45:35 sure 14:45:42 Thanks. 14:45:51 I can help out too if esberglu is overloaded. 14:46:04 FYI - I need to drop here. :-( 14:46:13 but sounds like everything is in pretty good order. :-D 14:46:17 sure, will check. Thanks 14:46:20 Are we about done? 14:46:24 I think we are wrapping up anyways 14:46:32 Any final topics? 14:49:14 #endmeeting
