Upgrade to WildFly 14.0.1
by Martin Perina 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hi, WildFly 14 packages are already available for both CentOS 7 and FC28, both oVirt engine master and 4.2 already contain fixes for compatibility with both WildFly 13 and 14, but please update your development machines to contain both ovirt-engine-wildfly-14.0.1 and ovirt-engine-wildfly-overlay-14.0.1 packages. Patch adding requirement for WildFly 14 is prepared [1], it should be merged tomorrow (Thursday), backport to 4.2 will follow immediately. Anyway if you find any issues related to this WildFly upgrade, please report a bug on it asap, we need to have everything fixed in 4.2.7. Thanks Martin [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/94824 -- Martin Perina Associate Manager, Software Engineering Red Hat Czech s.r.o.

diskunmap hooks and oVirt Node
by Sandro Bonazzola 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hi, we just got Bug 1638317 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1638317> - "missing VDSM hook diskunmap in Node NG releases" opened as a bug, not an RFE, because "Pass discard from guest to underlying storage <https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/pass-disc…>" features introduced in oVirt 4.1 is not yet implemented for Cinder storage, for which Bug 1440230 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1440230> - "[RFE] Allow "Pass discard from guest to underlying storage" for Cinder. " has been opened. I'm writing to people involved in the hook introduction ( https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/29770/) to understand how safe is to include the hook in oVirt Node as default installed hook. I understand that the hook is going to add "discard=unmap" always, not only on Cinder. I don't know the implications of it being enabled other than supposedly fix the issue with Cinder storage. Looking at the feature page looks like this won't work with NFS storage, but other than not working, will it cause issues? I see Bug 1440230 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1440230> is un-targeted, is there any plan to get it into oVirt 4.3? We support Cinder/Ceph since 3.6 and pass discard is supported since 4.1, not sure about what prevented the pass discard to be implemented for Cinder as well in 4.1. Can someone elaborate?

discussing the future of the upgrade suite in ost
by Dafna Ron 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hi All, I was reviewing the upgrade suites in ost and there are some issues that I am seeing in the suite tests-scenarios which I want to discuss and decide the future of. At it current state, I think we should remove the upgrade suite or most of the post test-scenarios as it is not testing what it should. The tests currently only test engine upgrade and basic sanity after the upgrade. This is problematic in a few ways: 1. upgrade should test the upgrade of rhv and not just a clean engine upgrade (i.e host, storage, vm). 2. as we have limited resources I do not think that the upgrade suite should be longer then the basic suite (and as we are currently running the basic suite after the upgrade it is longer) That brings me to question what should be essential to test in upgrade in the CI? I would also need someone in dev to volunteer and take ownership of the testing scenarios for upgrade - is there anyone that can help? Thanks, Dafna

It should work in the opposite way, you change the schema, and generate new code frome schema. Threre are existing tools like grpc and thrift that work in this way. For long term we should drop our jsonrpc/stomp stack and move to grpc. For short term we can just fix the schema to reflect actual engine interaction. when engine and schema do not match, engine is usualy right. For responses, if engine can handle the response the code is right. Please do not make RPC code more complex and inefficient for improving schema issues detection. I would rather remove this code instead. Before we can do that though, we need to address the inconsistencies first. >> >> >> https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/status:open+project:vdsm+branch:master+topic:v… >> >> This is a series of patches that helps fixing schema issues.

[VDSM] Do not use commands.execCmd(cmd, sync=False) or AsyncProcessOperation
by Nir Soffer 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

I just found that this patch was merged last month: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/94269/ Adding another use of commands.execCmd(cmd, sync=False) and AsyncProcessOperation. These APIs are deprecated and will be removed soon, please do merge any code using them. Also running commands anachronistically with a timeout is a bad idea in general. If the command is stuck on storage, we will created huge amount of commands. We have the same bad pattern in storage (iscsi/fcp rescan), it should be replaced by running command synchronically (sync=False) in a dedicated thread, and never running more then one command if the command get stuck. Marcin is working on the new improved infrastructure for running commands, based on https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/83923. Nir
