Re: [Openstack] Quantum -. Multi-Plugin and support for provisioning of other devices.

2012-09-09 Thread Tim Bell 
 

There has been some load balancing discussion and more is due at the summit.
The various current activities are summarised in
http://wiki.openstack.org/Quantum/LBaaS

 

Can you explain what you mean by storage devices with respect to Quantum ?
The storage activities are underway as part of Cinder.

Subject: [Openstack] Quantum -. Multi-Plugin and support for provisioning of
other devices.

 

Hi, I am wondering if there are any community plans to support to use
Quantum to provision up interfaces on other devices in areas of say
LoadBalancers, Storage devices etc and if there are plans to support
multi-active plugins in Quantum for this?

 

Is there a timeframe maybe?

Re: [Openstack] novnc for Ubuntu 12.04 and Folsom

2012-09-09 Thread Robert Garron 

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the great and fast response!

Well nova-volume was not working because in the instructions it never 
stated to "start" the service in the first place!
So when it stated on page 20 to "restart" the services it failed because 
the service was never running in the first place.
I fixed this obviously very simply by typing "sudo start nova-volume" 
and then the "sudo restart etc etc etc was all working fine.
So it goes with documentation - steps, procedures, methodologies, and 
the details always count in computing.


Next --
root@yyy:/# sudo restart nova-volume
nova-volume start/running, process 20214

root@yyy:/# apt-cache search novnc
novnc - HTML5 VNC client
python-novnc - HTML5 VNC client - libraries

So the packages are there, but why did the command sudo apt-get install 
.. novnc  fail?
Should I run an update or upgrade or remove and reinstall on this to 
insure that the packages are completely and correctly installed?


Thanks for you help!!
Regards,
Robert

P.S.  How do I send a fix into the documentation group to have them add 
that one needs to start a service before you restart it OR is there a 
bug in the start/stop/restart script of nova-volume to sense that if not 
started it should be started?

Hi Robert,

You are correct that novnc is not related to nova-volume not working. Check
/var/log/nova/nova-volume.log to see why nova-volume is not starting.

Regarding the novnc package, novnc is part of the regular ubuntu package
repository. If you do "apt-cache search novnc", do you see two results?

Thanks,
Joe

For the instance_id and flavor_id, I'm not sure which table are you talking

Sorry Yunhong, it was my mistake. I was able to get it to work with your

I am a little confused by the terminology of "instance_id" and "flavor_id" in

Well, Yunhong added the API to allow you to update the extra specs table so he 
should be able to give you the details on that (he's in China, he might not get 
back to you until next week).

Also, make sure you add a scope (where scope is a string followed by a `:' at 
the beginning of the key) to whatever key you are adding to the extra specs 
table, otherwise your key will create problems with some of the scheduler 
filters.

Re: [Openstack] One potential issue on the normalize_time() in timeutils

2012-09-09 Thread Jiang, Yunhong 
Rob, thanks for comments.
I totally agree with you that aware datetime object is better than naive one. 
The key thing is, utcnow() will return naive object, that means in some time, 
we have to use naive object to compare with utcnow(), and we need a conversion 
function to convert from aware to naive. The normalize_time() is the best 
candidate for this purpose, but it will fail to convert to naive datetime 
object in some situation. That's why I send the mail. I just want to change the 
normalize_time() to make sure it will always return naive object.

Thanks

You are probably better off creating an aware datetime object, and
using them pervasively across the codebase, than using naive objects.
As you note, they are not interoperable, and I've seen countless bugs
where folk try to mix and match. If we want to show local date time to
users *anywhere*, we'll need TZ aware objects, which is why that
variation is the one to standardise on. Otherwise, you end up with
multiple conversion points, and you can guarantee that at least one
will get it wrong.

2012-09-09 Thread Endre Karlson 
Hi, I am wondering if there are any community plans to support to use
Quantum to provision up interfaces on other devices in areas of say
LoadBalancers, Storage devices etc and if there are plans to support
multi-active plugins in Quantum for this?

Is there a timeframe maybe?

[Openstack] One potential issue on the normalize_time() in timeutils

2012-09-09 Thread Jiang, Yunhong 
Hi, Eoghan and all, 

When I implement an enhancement to trusted_filter, I need utilize 
timeutils() to parse ISO time. However, I suspect there is one potential issue 
in normalize_time() and want to get some input from your side.

In normalize_time(), if the parameter "timestamp" is an aware object 
(http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html) , it's output will vary depends 
on the input. If the timestamp is UTC time, it will be return as is without 
convention, i.e still an aware object. However, if it's not an UTC time, it 
will be converted to be a naive object.
This mean that the function will return different type depends on 
input, that's not so good IMHO.

The worse is, any compare/substract between naïve object and aware 
object will fail. Because the timeutils.utcnow() and datetime.datetime.now() 
returns naive object, so compare/substract between the uctnow() and 
normalize_time() may fail, or not, depends on input from the API user. I'm a 
bit surprised that changes-since works on such situation :)

I suspect this is caused by the "if offset". When timestamp is naïve 
object, the offset is None. Thus check "if offset" will avoid operation type 
exception. However, if the timestamp is UTC time, the offset will be 
date.timeslot(0), which will return false also for "if offset". 

Are there any special reason that we need keep aware object if input is 
at UTC time already? Can I changes the function to always return naive object? 
If yes, I can create a patch for it.

Thanks

Re: [Openstack] [Nova] Instance Type Extra Specs clarifications

2012-09-09 Thread Jiang, Yunhong 
Glad that the patch works for you.

For the instance_id and flavor_id, I'm not sure which table are you talking 
about. But I think flavor_id is same as "instance_type_id", while instance_id 
is purely an id for an instance, which is usually created based on an 
instance_type (or, flavor).

Thanks

Sorry Yunhong, it was my mistake. I was able to get it to work with your 
changes.
I am a little confused by the terminology of "instance_id" and "flavor_id" in 
the tables. Either their meaning is crossed or I am not reading it right.

Thanks Yunhong,

I picked your changes for flavors.py from your review to give it a try in my 
setup. I wrote a little python script to create a flavor id and set_key using 
the new RESTful apis that you defined. After creating the flavor, when I try to 
set the key I am getting error message from the nova side.
Do I need pick to any changes from nova side to make it work? I can send you my 
sample code and error message privately or put it on the mailing list if that

Well, Yunhong added the API to allow you to update the extra specs table so he 
should be able to give you the details on that (he's in China, he might not get 
back to you until next week).

Also, make sure you add a scope (where scope is a string followed by a `:' at 
the beginning of the key) to whatever key you are adding to the extra specs 
table, otherwise your key will create problems with some of the scheduler 
filters.

Subject: Re: [Openstack] [Nova] Instance Type Extra Specs clarifications

Hello all,

I am part of the SF south bay meetup group and trying to add a Disk I/O QoS 
feature which is based on the blkiotune in libvirt.
We would like to add flavor types in which we specify the blkiotune in the 
create flavor screen. After reviewing the discussions and some emails it 
appears that it makes sense to use the "instance_type_extra_specs" to add the 
blkiotune as a key/value pair instead of extending the "instance_type" table in 
nova db.

I am able to use nova-manage to create instance type and use "set_key" to add 
extra specs. The set_key seems to make a direct call to the db to insert the 
keys whereas the instance_type create takes the more traditional path through 
the flavomanage controller. However I notice that there is no documentation on 
how to add the extra_specs keys using a RESTful api. Is this something still in 
discussions?

Thanks
Vinay

Patrick-

We've enhanced `nova-manage' to manipulate the `extra_specs' entries, c.f. 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/update-flavor-key-value,   You can 
add an `extra_specs' key/value pair to a flavor with the command:

nova-manage instance_type add_key m1.humongous cpu_type itanium

And delete a key/value pair with the command:

nova-manage instance_type del_key m1.humongous cpu_type

We're in the process of enhancing `python-novaclient' and Horizon with similar 
capabilities and hope to have them ready for the Folsom release.

Currently, there's no hook to set `extra_specs' through the `nova.conf' file, 
the mechanism is to dynamically add the `extra_specs' key/values after the 
administrator has created a flavor.

Currently, the keys are completely free fo

Yeah, I've seen the checksum issue on > 3.2 kernels, but it's there also on
3.2 which works fine. Maybe they've added a more strict check.
A temp workaround is to put the interface in promiscous mode which some
