I am on stx7. While adding a dell r7415 as worker node, sysinv agent fails to get inventory.
I gather from sysinv.log on the worker node that there is an uncaught OSError raised by sysinv/agent/node.py. This is due to line 427 only concerned with IOError. On my system, there is no /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages dir (it's at node1). The missing dir raises OSError, not IOError.
Workaround: added `except OSError...` to node.py after IOError, recompile and reboot. |

This is due to sysinv unable to work with multiple numa nodes per socket. It errors out on sysinv/agent/node.py#427 with uncaught OSError and cannot get host memory because it expects dir /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages, which may not exist (mine is on node1).
With chiplet design being more common these days, it makes sense to not assume 1 numa node per socket.
Workaround: modify bios memory interleaving so it presents a single numa node per socket, or if bios doesn't support that like mine, add `numa=off` to grub boot params. Both results in decreased performance. |
