[Bug 1894771] Re: Hypervisor shows negative numbers after launching instances on baremetal nodes

 

This is expected behavior. The ironic driver does not report free disk,
RAM and memory via the 'get_available_resource' driver API [1] which
means the resource tracker is essentially subtracting usage from 0.
That's considered okay though [2].

In general, the 'os-hypervisors' API, which the 'nova hypervisor-show'
command uses, is considered very broken and will likely be removed in a
future release. You should rely on placement for an authoritative view
on resource consumption.

Title:
  Hypervisor shows negative numbers after launching instances on
  baremetal nodes

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Testing with Train version with ironic driver.
  Before launching instances on baremetal nodes, # nova hypervisor-show <uuid> command shows 0 for vcpus, memory and disk fields, which are set to zero in ironic.driver code.
  This is still acceptable as baremetal resources are counted in resource class, however, after launching instance on the baremetal node, the vcpu/mem/disk fields appear to be negative in hypervisor-show details, and the negative numbers correlate with the flavor's vcpu/mem/disk fields.

  The hypervisor detail does not affect the functions of baremetal instances, but is quite confusing.
  Besides, nova quotas and usages are also affected by the baremetal flavor's vcpu/mem/disk fields, which maybe not able to describe the resources that the instance occupies.
