Re: [ceph-users] Havana RBD - a few problems

2013-11-08 Thread Jens-Christian Fischer
Hi Josh

 Using libvirt_image_type=rbd to replace ephemeral disks is new with
 Havana, and unfortunately some bug fixes did not make it into the
 release. I've backported the current fixes on top of the stable/havana
 branch here:
 
 https://github.com/jdurgin/nova/tree/havana-ephemeral-rbd

that looks really useful. I have tried to patch our installation, but so far 
haven't been successful: First I tried to replace the whole 
/usr/share/pyshared/nova directory with the one from your repository, then only 
the changed files. (Ubuntu Saucy). In both cases nova-compute dies immediately 
after starting it. There is probably a really simple way to install your 
version on an Ubuntu server - but I don't know how...

 2) Creating a new instance from an ISO image fails completely - no
 bootable disk found, says the KVM console. Related?
 
 This sounds like a bug in the ephemeral rbd code - could you file
 it in launchpad if you can reproduce with file injection disabled?
 I suspect it's not being attached as a carom.

Will try to reproduce as soon as I have the patched version


 You're seeing some issues in the ephemeral rbd code, which is new
 in Havana. None of these affect non-ephemeral rbd, or Grizzly.
 Thanks for reporting them!

thanks for your help

ok - got it working by cherry picking the last few commits, and then replacing 
only the 5 affected files. 

Resize of disk on instance creation works! Yay

Re: [ceph-users] Havana RBD - a few problems

2013-11-08 Thread Jens-Christian Fischer
and one more:

boot from image (create a new volume) doesn't work either: it leads to a VM 
that complains about a non-bootable disk (just like the ISO case). This is 
actually and improvement: earlier, nova was waiting for ages for an image to be 
created (I guess that this is the result of the glance - cinder RBD 
improvements)

Re: [ceph-users] Havana RBD - a few problems

2013-11-07 Thread Dinu Vlad
Under grizzly we disabled completely the image injection via 
libvirt_inject_partition = -2 in nova.conf. I'm not sure rbd images can even be 
mounted that way - but then again, I don't have experience with havana. We're 
using config disks (which break live migrations) and/or the metadata service 
(which does not) in combination with cloud-init, to bootstrap instances.
