18:17:30 <dfarrell07> #info Welcome back jamoluhrsen, mgkwill :)
18:17:49 <mgkwill> :)
18:25:19 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 and Jamo talk about Hello World job triggering
18:25:36 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 thought Apex should be triggering it, but that's not true, it's manual
18:25:51 <dfarrell07> #info but jamoluhrsen checked manual triggering and that fialed, pod 2 is dead
18:26:15 <dfarrell07> #info mgkwill notes that pod was online for a while, then back off -what's up?
18:26:36 <dfarrell07> #info jamoluhrsen will work on getting job running against a different pod, or working pod 2, next week
18:29:23 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 gives overview of Nikos recent switch scale results
18:29:46 <dfarrell07> #info Vary switches, number of containers, types of isolation (vms vs containers)
18:29:58 <dfarrell07> #info VMs and containers scale about the same, which is good for us in OPNFV
18:30:19 <dfarrell07> #info opnfv test tools typically go in containers, so that works for us
18:30:28 <dfarrell07> #info more isolation gives better results
18:31:01 <dfarrell07> #info future work around keeping container count high, and changing the rate of switch add and group size to find quickest way to scale to largest number
18:31:24 <dfarrell07> #info LuisGomez talks about infra setup, how we might could do this in ODL
18:33:18 <dfarrell07> #info LuisGomez talks about how to very number of switches  in these scale test, Nikos answers that they count switches in ODL datastore
18:33:53 <dfarrell07> #info none of these tests add hosts, LuisGomez talks about different tests that add hosts
18:34:18 <dfarrell07> #info LuisGomez reports that host tests would require L2Switch, which isn't so good, so they don't use in CSIT (maybe demos)
18:35:43 <dfarrell07> #info Nikos talks about how they currently vary many, many params when doing NSTAT tests, basically all combinations. Thinking about moving to smarter techniques sub-sampling tech, like hill climbing to find local maxes
18:36:09 <dfarrell07> #info this better to find limits
18:37:39 <dfarrell07> #info august is vacation month in much of EU, Nikos reminds ;)
18:38:33 <dfarrell07> #info Nikos resumed work on latte this week, has made good progress, has logic to match pkt ins with flow mods, written unit tests that work, seeing some errors when running IT with real multinet traffic
18:39:25 <dfarrell07> #info Nikos is also working on decoupling main logic and logic that extracts matching fields from matches, user could write those extraction logic things and tool could use them to look at arrival times, latencies, etc
18:40:07 <dfarrell07> #info al and nikos talk about which fields to use, as transaction ID, buffer ID, etc would not work and couldn't be made to work by changing ODL, Nikos is using src and dst macs in pktins and flowmods
18:40:20 <dfarrell07> #info Nikos also using IP and port number of switches, to be more sure
18:42:34 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 asks mgkwill about status of netvirt scale testing intel is doing
18:42:48 <dfarrell07> #info Matt W on call has been working on this
18:43:09 <dfarrell07> #info have scaled up to 40+ compute nodes on one setup, mgkwill says
18:43:35 <dfarrell07> #info matt gets mic, has been bringing up VMs with virst/libvirt, use those as hosts, spin up instances in those, have been looking at using containers as alt
18:44:13 <dfarrell07> #info matt is spinning up legit compute nodes with all openstack services, running nova compute nodes in VMs
18:44:30 <dfarrell07> #info Another person has 3 physical systems with 20+ compute nodes each
18:44:37 <dfarrell07> #info mgkwill talks about moving all this to use containers
18:44:57 <dfarrell07> #info spin up as many compute nodes as possible, hook up to odl, see what blows up
18:45:03 <dfarrell07> #info mgkwill has golden number of 500 or so
18:45:27 <dfarrell07> #info would then spin up networks, how long that takes with all these nodes already up, etc
18:45:37 <dfarrell07> #info first step is to get to that scale, 500+
18:46:41 <dfarrell07> #info mgkwill has been working on spinning up ODL with Rally, would give some more info
18:48:12 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 is now catching up on notes from start of meeting, when he was talking not writing
18:48:20 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 has been talking to David, OPNFV Rel Manager, about CPerf in/out of C-release
18:48:30 <dfarrell07> #info David was interested in how ODL releases work with testing projects
18:48:34 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 described ODL SRs, how we have SRs/milestones for parts of ODL that are tightly coupled, have API agreements they need to make
18:48:41 <dfarrell07> #info ODL's testing, packaging and similar projects don't take part in SR, because they need to work with all releases/branches
18:48:46 <dfarrell07> #info ODL test projects work with master branch only, and change test code to run against various releases if/where necessary
18:49:02 <dfarrell07> #info David says that OPNFV TSC has been looking at different sets of milestones for test projects, or generally making the release process work better for test projects
18:49:07 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 ended up talking about this on TestPerf subgroup call this morning
18:49:12 <dfarrell07> #info Al, David, dfarrell07 talked about using JIRA to track progress, not having milestones/SR overhead
18:49:19 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 wrote updates for all JIRAs with a quick dump of progress. Please go add details/info to ones you own, and let's all try to keep them up-to-date.
18:49:26 <dfarrell07> #info Keeping JIRAs up-to-date is our main way to communicate with OPNFV community about what we're up to
18:50:23 <dfarrell07> #info Ran out of time, here are some teasers for stuff we didn't have time to talk about
18:50:25 <dfarrell07> #info Great discussion on integration-dev mailing list about Luis' OpenFlow tests, feedback from Al et al about timing/metrics/tests
18:50:30 <dfarrell07> #link https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/yardstick/How+to+store+other+project%27s+test+results+in+InfluxDB New wiki about how to store results in OPNFV DB
18:50:34 <dfarrell07> #link https://etherpad.opnfv.org/p/qtip-overview QTip asks to give feedback about our projects and how they can/should interact with QTip
18:50:39 <dfarrell07> #info dfarrell07 (well, CPerf) is scheduled to chair TestPerf meeting next week. Yay. :|
