Re: [Openstack] [openstack][nova] Compute node update interval

2014-06-30 Thread Dugger, Donald D
Kai-

Looking at the code the 60 second interval is hard coded and not changeable via 
a config parameter.

Having said that, and given that it’s a fairly expensive operation to update 
the DB for `every` compute node in the system, maybe the better question is why 
do you want to increase the update frequency?  Do you really expect to be 
creating/deleting instances so fast on a single node that a 60 second latency 
in the update of the stats is really a problem?

Subject: [Openstack] [openstack][nova] Compute node update interval

Hi,

how can I specify the interval in which the (free) resources of my compute 
nodes are updated and written into the DB?
I looked into nova.conf doc and already changed the following attributes:

heal_instance_info_cache_interval = 20

service_down_time = 20

periodic_fuzzy_delay = 20

qpid_heartbeat = 20

scheduler_driver_task_period = 20



call_timeout = 20

db_check_interval = 20

But the update interval in which the resources are written into the database 
still is about one minute.

Which parameters should I change? Or is this configuration done somewhere else 
than in nova.conf?

Kind regards
Kai

Re: [Openstack] Custom Nova Scheduler Weigher

2014-08-04 Thread Dugger, Donald D
Danny-

People have been thinking about affinity/anti-affinity scheduling so this is a 
good area to look at but we might want to think of a general approach that 
addresses this and other issues.  I know that Yathi & Debo have proposed a BP:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/solver-scheduler

you might want to check it out and see how it relates to your issues.

Subject: [Openstack] Custom Nova Scheduler Weigher

I am in the process of implementing a custom weigher class. I have created a

(think GroupAntiAffinityFilter but for weight).

I know the python is at least close to correct because the scheduler service 
wouldn't even restart until it was. After I got the bugs worked out of the 
module, I added modified the /etc/nova/nova.conf file to have the custom 
weigher like so:
scheduler_weight_classes=nova.scheduler.weights.all_weighers,nova.scheduler.AntiAffinityWeigher

Re: [Openstack] Scheduler try and error with compute nodes in different subnets/physnet's

2014-09-16 Thread Dugger, Donald D
There is a project, gantt, to split out the scheduler but it will be a while 
before it is capable of making cross project scheduling decisions.  I'll be 
happy if we just have the current Nova scheduler capabilities available in a 
separate Gantt scheduler by the Kilo release, more advanced capabilities will 
have to come later.

As suggested, using aggregates would be your best option for now.

yes, but nova does not know the matching between the subnet and the physical 
port, neutron knows that.

as Jay previously told you, the only thing you can do now is to use host 
aggregates.

i think there is a project to split the scheduler from nova to make it a 
service, it could take the information from different services (nova, neutron, 
cinder) to make the decision

Re: [Openstack] Devstack start

2014-11-06 Thread Dugger, Donald D
Rim-

The log message `start_glance' immediately followed by errors was the 
indicator, your glance didn't start.  `devstack' uses `screen' to create 
console logs for the various components that you use, switch to the `g-api' 
screen and you should see more detail on what went wrong.

Re: [Openstack] Questions from a newbie

2015-03-16 Thread Dugger, Donald D
Silvia-


1)  Not totally sure what you’re asking.  When `devstack’ completes there 
should be an instance of Horizon running on that machine.  You can then connect 
to that Horizon from any other machine on that network, assuming your host has 
a routable IP address (using 127.0.0.1 as the HOST_IP would make Horizon only 
available from that machine).  Note, by default Horizon listens on port 9000 so 
make sure you are trying to connect to 10.1.115.126:9000

2)  Yes, currently the host information is stored in the DB but there is a 
lot of work going on in that area.  We hope to move to an object model where 
the compute nodes will be sending state information directly to the scheduler 
in the Kilo release.

I’d be curious to know what it is about the scheduler that you are planning on 
working on.  I should also point out that we have a weekly IRC meeting to 
discuss scheduler issues at 1500 UTC at #openstack-meeting (the meeting is 
titled Gantt which is the name of the new scheduler project we are creating), 
you’re welcome to join if that time zone works for you.

Hi,
I'm completely new in OpenStack's Universe and I need to understand a lot of 
things!
Bust let's start with a couple of questions.
1. I have installed OpenStack using DevStack in a physical machine (I have 
already an Ubuntu system). At the end of the installation there was written the 
address where I can open Horizon (e.g. 10.1.115.126). What happens if I connect 
my laptop from another network? Does it remain the same? Or should I do a 
specific configuration?
2. I will work with nova in particular, especially in the scheduling part. I 
would like to know where the scheduler take the information about the state of 
the host to assign it after the filter & weight.
I think that those parameters about the status of the host are memorised in the 
database, but it's only my hypotheses, I haven't read anything about it.
And if it's so, how are collected those information? By who?
Sorry if I did some silly question, but I would like to well understand the 
basis.
Let me also know if exist a good guide that explains how to start with 
OpenStack from zero!
Thank you

Re: [Openstack] Questions from a newbie

2015-03-17 Thread Dugger, Donald D
Duh, I must have been asleep when I wrote that.  The meeting is on Tuesdays, 
look for Gantt on the OpenStack meetings page:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings


1)  It all depends upon how routable the IP address is for the host running 
Horizon.  Since 10.x.x.x is not routable and only visible from other nodes on 
the 10.x.x.x network then moving from the office to your home you probably 
won’t be able to see it without setting up some sort of tunnel so that you can 
get to your Horizon machine from the outside.  Talk to your network people 
about how to get a routable IP address.

2)  Your best option would be to look at the code.  Check out the main 
filter scheduler in the current Nova source tree at:
nova/scheduler/filter_scheduler.py
and then look at one of the filters such as:
nova/scheduler/filters/ram_filter.py

If you look at the tracking page for the priority work for Nova for the Kilo 
release at:

https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/kilo-nova-priorities-tracking

There’s a large section on the scheduler, you can follow the blueprints in that 
sections to see what work we are doing for the next release.

process? And how it will be managed in the future?

I started my internship just one week ago, they told my that the purpose is add 
a feature that will consider also the network link status togheter with the 
host status. So I think that the scheduler should interact also with the
