[Bug 1724589] [NEW] Unable to transition to Ironic Node Resource Classes in Pike
Public bug reported:
In Pike we ask people to:
* Update Ironic Node with a Resource Class
* Update flavors to request the new Resource Class (and not request VCPU, RAM, DISK), using the docs: https://docs.openstack.org/ironic/latest/install/configure-nova-flavors.html#scheduling-based-on-resource-classes
Consider this case:
* some old instances are running from before the updates
* some new instances are created after the updates
In placement:
* all inventory is correct, new resource class and legacy resource classes are both present
* old instance allocations: only request
In nova db:
* old instances and new instances correctly request the new resource class in their flavor
* new instances also include the anti-request for VCPU, DISK and RAM
Now this is the flow that shows the problem:
* get list of candidate allocations
* this includes nodes that already have instances on (they only claim part of the inventory, but the new instance is only requesting the bit of the inventory the old instance isn't using)
* boom, scheduling new instances fails after you hit the retry count, unless you got lucky and found a free slot by accident
Possible reason for this:
* Pike no longer updated instance allocations, if we updated the
allocations of old instances to request the new custom resource class
allocations, we would fix the above issue.
Possible work around:
* in the new flavor, keep requesting VCPU, RAM and CPU resources for
pike, fix that up in queens?
