For background, this was discussed in bug 1750623 and deemed to be a separate bug which requires its own fix. As far as I can tell, this has been a problem since NUMA support was added, which I think was Juno.

The complication here is that there are a number of image properties which might affect the instance resource consumption (in conjunction with a suitable flavor): hw_numa_nodes=X hw_numa_cpus.X=Y hw_numa_mem.X=Y hw_mem_page_size=X hw_cpu_thread_policy=X hw_cpu_policy=X Due to the assumptions made in the rest of the code, we need to add a check to ensure that on a rebuild the above image properties do not differ between the old and new images. While they might look suspicious, I think that the following image properties *should* be allowed to differ, since they only affect the topology seen by the guest: hw_cpu_threads hw_cpu_cores hw_cpu_sockets hw_cpu_max_threads hw_cpu_max_cores hw_cpu_max_sockets hw_cpu_realtime_mask To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1763766/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team Post to : yahoo-eng-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yahoo-eng-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
