[Bug 1969461] Re: Enable systemd-detect-virt to detect OpenStack instance

 

OpenStack Nova is the name of the product while OpenStack Compute is the
name of the project (group of people) maintaining OpenStack Nova and
related packages. I think it is OK to grep for 'OpenStack' in the dmi as
that string is set by OpenStack Nova via the libvirt.

I'm setting this bug as invalid as this is not a bug. If you have
further questions please post to the mailing list[0] or joins to the
#openstack-nova channel on the OFTC IRC server[1].

Title:
  Enable systemd-detect-virt to detect OpenStack instance

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  We are using dracut on an OpenStack Nova to build images. dracut will
  call `systemd-detect-virt` to determine whether it is working on a
  virtual machine. Currently, systemd-detect-virt can't figure out
  OpenStack correctlly.

  I have made a PR on upstream systemd
  (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/23117), but some detail
  information are needed. I don't know the difference between OpenStack
  Nova and OpenStack Compute.

  Is it suffisient to determine it's a virtual machine if we can grep
  `OpenStack` from /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name
