Hello, I would like to update on this week's failures and OST current status. This week I am sending the report a bit earlier due to the holidays. We had a few failures this week but I am glad to report that the issues were fixed quickly. on 23-03-2018 we started getting a random failure which seems to be an issue with the ost test hotplug_cpu This fix was submitted by Milan to fix the issue: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/89589 On the 27-03-2018 we had a failure on basic_sanity.disk_operations This seems to be related to locking race and was fixed by Benny on 3 different fixes: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89534/ https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89537/ https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89577/ There was an issue with build-artifacts on the vdsm project which was an infra failure as well as a code issue (2 different builds). this was also resolved quickly. Infra issues: The ci team discovered and fixed a failure in container cleanup on the the hosts. Daniel submitted this patch: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89402/ and it seemed to have resolved the issue. Gal has been investigating an issue which causes failure due to lack of memory on the host. for now, Gal submitted a fix: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89588/ Lastly we had a packaging issue on 4.2 which was resolved as well. *Below you can see the chart for this week's resolved issues but cause of failure:Code* = regression of working components/functionalities *Infra* = infrastructure/OST Infrastructure/Lago related issues/Power outages *OST* Tests - package related issues, failed build artifacts *Below is a chart of resolved failures based on ovirt version* *Below is a chart showing failures by suite type: * *Thanks, * *Dafna*

Hi, We have a failure that seems to be random and happening in several projects. from what I can see, we are failing due to a timing issue in the test itself because we are querying the vm after its been destroyed in engine. looking at engine, I can see that the vm was actually shut down, I would like to disable this test until we can fix the issue since it already failed about 7 different patches from different projects. *Link to Job:http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-master_change-queue-tester/6521/ <http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-master_change-queue-tester/6521/>Link to all logs:http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-master_change-queue-tester/6521/art… <http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-master_change-queue-tester/6521/artifact…>(Relevant) error snippet from the log: <error>* *engine: 018-03-23 14:44:14,156-04 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.DestroyVDSCommand] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-5) [] Failed to destroy VM '7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7' because VM does not exist, ignoring2018-03-23 14:44:14,156-04 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.DestroyVDSCommand] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-5) [] FINISH, DestroyVDSCommand, log id: 646766a2018-03-23 14:44:14,156-04 DEBUG [org.ovirt.engine.core.common.di.interceptor.DebugLoggingInterceptor] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-5) [] method: runVdsCommand, params: [Destroy, DestroyVmVDSCommandParameters:{hostId='c40b11df-7053-437e-8acc-c5e91c1694bc', vmId='7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7', secondsToWait='0', gracefully='false', reason='', ignoreNoVm='true'}], timeElapsed: 14ms2018-03-23 14:44:14,156-04 DEBUG [org.ovirt.engine.core.common.di.interceptor.DebugLoggingInterceptor] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-5) [] method: getVmManager, params: [7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7], timeElapsed: 0ms2018-03-23 14:44:14,156-04 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.monitoring.VmAnalyzer] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-5) [] VM '7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7'(vm2) moved from 'Up' --> 'Down'2018-03-23 14:44:14,156-04 DEBUG [org.ovirt.engine.core.common.di.interceptor.DebugLoggingInterceptor] (ForkJoinPool-1-worker-5) [] method: getVmManager, params: [7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7], timeElapsed: 0ms2018-03-23 14:44:14,177-04 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (default task-4) [a463501f-f01a-4048-93ca-02647308394b] EVENT_ID: USER_STOP_VM(33), VM vm2 powered off by admin@internal-authz (Host: lago-basic-suite-master-host-0).* *vdsm: 2018-03-23 14:44:14,024-0400 INFO (libvirt/events) [virt.vm] (vmId='7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7') Changed state to Down: Admin shut down from the engine (code=6) (vm:1684)2018-03-23 14:44:14,028-0400 INFO (jsonrpc/1) [api.virt] FINISH destroy return={'status': {'message': 'Machine destroyed', 'code': 0}} from=::ffff:192.168.201.4,53454, flow_id=a463501f-f01a-4048-93ca-02647308394b, vmId=7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7 (api:52)2018-03-23 14:44:14,028-0400 INFO (jsonrpc/1) [jsonrpc.JsonRpcServer] RPC call VM.destroy succeeded in 1.72 seconds (__init__:311)2018-03-23 14:44:14,031-0400 INFO (periodic/2) [Executor] Worker was discarded (executor:305)2018-03-23 14:44:14,033-0400 INFO (libvirt/events) [virt.vm] (vmId='7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7') Stopping connection (guestagent:440)2018-03-23 14:44:14,033-0400 ERROR (libvirt/events) [vds] Error running VM callback (clientIF:666)Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/clientIF.py", line 629, in dispatchLibvirtEvents v.onLibvirtLifecycleEvent(event, detail, None)AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'onLibvirtLifecycleEvent'2018-03-23 14:44:14,078-0400 INFO (jsonrpc/4) [api.virt] START destroy(gracefulAttempts=1) from=::ffff:192.168.201.4,53454, vmId=7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7 (api:46)2018-03-23 14:44:14,078-0400 INFO (jsonrpc/4) [api] FINISH destroy error=Virtual machine does not exist: {'vmId': u'7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7'} (api:127)2018-03-23 14:44:14,079-0400 INFO (jsonrpc/4) [api.virt] FINISH destroy return={'status': {'message': "Virtual machine does not exist: {'vmId': u'7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7'}", 'code': 1}} from=::ffff:192.168.201.4,53454, vmId=7020944f-cd26-4c31-b381-0ce6be733fd7 (api:52)* *</error>*

[ENGINE] JUnit version upgrade
by Allon Mureinik 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi oVirt Engine developers, I've just merged a patch to bump oVirt Engine's JUnit requirement to the latest available 5.1 GA. As a first step, I've integrated the vintage engine, which is a drop-in replacement that can run old JUnit 4 (and even JUnit 3!) tests, just with a newer runtime engine. This isn't the final goal, but a first step towards moving to the newer Jupiter engine, which won't be a clean dependency replacement. Please let me know if you encounter any problem. Regards, Allon

Hello, I would like to update on this week's failures and OST current status. On 19-03-2018 - the CI team reported 3 different failures. On Master branch the failed changes reported were: *core: fix removal of vm-host device - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89145/ <https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89145/>* *core: USB in osinfo configuration depends on chipset - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/88777/ <https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/88777/>* *On 4.2 *branch, the reported change was: *core: Call endAction() of all child commands in ImportVmCommand - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89165/ <https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89165/>* The fix's for the regressions were merged the following day (20-03-2018) https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89250/- core: Replace generic unlockVm() logic in ImportVmCommand https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/89187/ - core: Fix NPE when creating an instance type On 20-03-2018 - the CI team discovered an issue on the job's cleanup which caused random failures on changes testing due to failure in docker cleanup. There is an open Jira on the issue: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1939 *Below you can see the chart for this week's resolved issues but cause of failure:*Code = regression of working components/functionalities Configurations = package related issues Other = failed build artifacts Infra = infrastructure/OST/Lago related issues *Below is a chart of resolved failures based on ovirt version* *Below is a chart showing failures by suite type: * Thank you, Dafna

First of all sorry for such wide = distribution, but apparently that's the best way to make = sure we cooperate nicely.  So please be considerate as this is a cross-post between huge amount of mailing lists. After some discussions with developers from = different projects that work with libvirt one cannot but = notice some common patterns and workarounds. So I set off = to see how can we make all our lives better and our coding more effective (and maybe more fun as well).  If all = goes well we will create a project that will accommodate = most of the defaulting, policies, workarounds and other = common algorithms around libvirt domain definitions. =  And since early design gets you half way, I would like to know your feedback on several key points as well as on the = general idea. Also correct me brutally in case I'm = wrong. In order to not get confused in the = following descriptions, I will refer to this project idea = using the name `virtuned`, but there is really no name for = it yet (although an abbreviation for "Virtualization Abstraction Definition and Hypervisor Delegation" would suit = well, IMHO). Here are some = common problems and use cases that virtuned could solve (or = help with).  Don't take it as something that's impossible to = solve on your own, but rather something that could be = de-duplicated from multiple projects or "done right" = instead of various hack-ish solutions. 1) = Default devices/values Libvirt itself must = default to whatever values there were before any particular = element was introduced due to the fact that it strives to keep the guest ABI stable.  That means, for example, = that it can't just add -vmcoreinfo option (for KASLR = support) or magically add the pvpanic device to all QEMU = machines, even though it would be useful, as that would = change the guest ABI. For default values = this is even more obvious.  Let's say someone figures out some "pretty good" default values for various HyperV = enlightenment feature tunables.  Libvirt can't = magically change them, but each one of the projects = building on top of it doesn't want to keep that list updated= and take care of setting them in every new XML.  Some projects don't even expose those to the end user as a knob, while = others might. One more thing could be = automatically figuring out best values based on libosinfo-provided data. 2) = Policies Lot of the time there are parts of = the domain definition that need to be added, but nobody = really cares about them.  Sometimes it's enough to have= few templates, another time you might want to have a policy per-scenario and want to combine them in various ways. =  For example with the data provided by point 1). For example if you want PCI-Express, you need = the q35 machine type, but you don't really want to care = about the machine type.  Or you want to use SPICE, = but you don't want to care about adding QXL. What if some of these policies could be specified once (using = some DSL for example), and used by virtuned to merge them = in a unified and predictable way? 3) Abstracting the XML This is = probably just usable for stateless apps, but it might happen that some apps don't really want to care about the XML at = all.  They just want an abstract view of the domain, = possibly add/remove a device and that's it.  We could = do that as well.  I can't really tell how much of a = demand there is for it, though. 4) = Identifying devices properly In contrast to = the previous point, stateful apps might have a problem identifying devices after hotplug.  For example, let's = say you don't care about the addresses and leave that up = to libvirt.  You hotplug a device into the domain and = dump the new XML of it.  Depending on what type of = device it was, you might need to identify it based on different values.  It could be <target dev=3D''/> for disks, = <mac address=3D''/> for interfaces etc.  For = some devices it might not even be possible and you need to = remember the addresses of all the previous devices and then parse them just to identify that one device and then throw = them away. With new enough libvirt you = could use the user aliases for that, but turns out it's = not that easy to use them properly anyway.  Also the aliases won't help users identify that device inside the = guest. <rant> We really = should've gone with new attribute for the user alias instead of using an existing one, given how many problems that is = causing. </rant> 5) = Generating the right XML snippet for device hot-(un)plug <br= class=3D"">This is kind of related to some previous points. When hot-plugging a device and creating an XML = snippet for it, you want to keep the defaults from point = 1) and policies from 2) in mind.  Or something = related to the already existing domain which you can describe systematically.  And adding something for identification = (see previous point). Doing = the hot-unplug is easy depending on how much information about that device is saved by your application.  The less you = save about the device (or show to the user in a GUI, if = applicable) the harder it might be to generate an XML that = libvirt will accept.  Again, some problems with this = should be fixed in libvirt, some of them are easy to workaround.  But having a common ground that takes care = of this should help some projects. Hot-unplug could be implemented just based on the alias. =  This is something that would fit into libvirt as = well. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D To mention some pre-existing = solutions: - I understand OpenStack has = some really sensible and wisely chosen and/or tested = default values. - I know KubeVirt has = VirtualMachinePresets.  That is something closely = related to points 1) and 2).  Also their abstraction of the XML = might be usable for point 3). - There was an effort on creating policy based configuration = of libvirt objects called libvirt-designer.  This is = closely related to points 2) and 3).  Unfortunately = there was no much going on lately and part of = virt-manager repository has currently more features implemented with the same ideas in mind, just not exported for public use.

[VDSM] Remove fcraw build as gating
by Edward Haas 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Hi All, Fcraw build on VDSM check-patch has been failing recently (again). fcraw cannot act as gating to the VDSM CI, as it is unstable (by definition). If there is a strong interest for some to track VDSM against this unstable distribution, it better be performed in parallel to the VDSM developing flow. With the current state, we are unable to trust the CI and it causes us to either overwrite its output (which I consider very bad) or just get stuck frequently. Could we please move this job to be triggered once a day as a nightly job and whoever is interested in its output to get notifications for it? Please. lets not make it a gating to VDSM development. Thanks, Edy.
