allow_resize_to_same_host doesn't force resize to same host

[Dafna Ron]

I created a setup with 3 computes but configured nova.conf with the following on each of the computes:
allow_resize_to_same_host=True
scheduler_default_filters=AllHostsFilter

when I try to resize I failed constantly on ssh-key error so I added this on my hosts:

[root@orange-vdsf ~(keystone_admin)]# cat /var/lib/nova/.ssh/config
Host *
StrictHostKeyChecking no
#UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null

after adding the config
it seems that sometimes we are trying to migrate an instance - which still fails migration and therefor we fail the resize and other time we resize locally and that succeeds.
I could not understand when we select to migrate and when we select to resize locally but it might be a scheduler issue.

Hi, this sounds like a misunderstanding of the configuration setting.

The configuration help in nova/compute/api.py reads:

    cfg.BoolOpt('allow_resize_to_same_host',
                default=False,
                help='Allow destination machine to match source for resize. '
                     'Useful when testing in single-host environments.'),

It means it is allowed to resize to the same host. It doesn't mean it will *only* resize to the same host. Given that, do you still think there is a bug?

[Dafna Ron (dron-3)]

I do. but perhaps a discussion is needed on weather this configuration should change to resize on same host only or if we need to create a blueprint to create a new option for migrating to the same host only.

my opinion is that when someone configure same host resize they expect that to happen every time and not for some of the instances to fail at times and for some to succeed (especially when they cannot predict which would do what) we should fix this behaviour :)

[melanie witt (melwitt)]

What I'm saying is, if you configure allow_resize_to_same_host, it means that it will add the same host to the destination options.

If you have compute1, compute2, and compute3 and the instance resides on compute1, here is how it looks:

With allow_resize_to_same_host=False, compute2 and compute3 are the possible destinations.

With allow_resize_to_same_host=True, compute1, compute2, and compute3 are the possible destinations.

You are not configuring same host resize. You are configuring that same host is legal. By default, it is not.

But I guess you are asserting that the meaning of the config setting is not expected by a user.

I'm going to mark this as Invalid since it's not a bug given the meaning of the configuration setting. Please post on the mailing list if you'd like to start a discussion around the config setting.

[Dafna Ron (dron-3)]

Melanie, just because I disagree with the design does not mean that I did not understand the explanation.

As I said, I think that we should either change the current design of the option or we should create a new one allowing resize without migration.

I will open a blueprint.

[melanie witt (melwitt)]

Dafna, I understand that. This was opened as a bug/defect and the system is functioning as intended, hence this launchpad bug is Invalid.

To discuss a change in the design, the dev mailing list is an appropriate forum, as is proposing a blueprint to nova-specs, which you are going to do.

[Daniel Berrange (berrange)]

Proposing a blueprint/nova-specs is only appropriate if the submitter actually intends to provide a solution. We're not wanting nova-specs for arbitrary user reported wish-list items.

For user wish list items like this, they should be status: confirmed/triaged, importance: wishlist

[melanie witt (melwitt)]

@Daniel I thought the submitter intended to propose a solution, so sorry for that.

[Davanum Srinivas (DIMS) (dims-v)]

fyi, there's an effort to eliminate the flag - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/118604/

[Stephen Gordon (sgordon)]

Isn't that removing allow_migrate_to_same_host, not allow_resize_to_same_host which is the topic of this bug?

[Sean Dague (sdague)]

Right. allow_resize_to_same_host is pretty clear what it does, the statement even says when it is useful. This is not a bug that we're going to fix.
