Doc Text:
A new Compute (nova) parameter is now available, max_disk_devices_to_attach, which you can use to specify the maximum number of disk devices that can be attached to a single instance. The default is unlimited (-1). The following example illustrates how to change the value of max_disk_devices_to_attach to "30": parameter_defaults: ComputeExtraConfig: nova::config::nova_config: [compute]/max_disk_devices_to_attach: value: '"30"'

Hi guys,

we're wondering if there is any ETA in fixing this issue, also what's the expected version?

Thanks,
Cristian

Hi, this feature is included in version openstack-nova-19.0.0-0.20190322080331.c993d4f.el8ost (as shown in the "Fixed In Version" in this rhbz). Are you asking about an ETA for QE verification, or something else?

Hi, I was looking to an errata. The actual version i my last ticket is RHOSP10. My understanding is the fix will be for RHOSP15, so my next question is a back-port solution is possible and to what OpenStack version?
Thanks,

Understood. Let me double check with the team on when we should expect the feature to appear in errata.

The feature is being backported to OSP14 [1] and OSP13 [2] but will not go back further, as OSP10 is in maintenance support.

Comment 13 Kashyap Chamarthy 2019-10-14 12:26:24 UTC
There is a libvirt regression in RHEL 7.7 (and also affects RHEL 8.1):

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1741782
    Cannot hotplug disk with address at unit=7

tl;dr: It used to be the case that the 'unit' 7 was reserved and
couldn't be used by QEMU, but that limitation no longer applies,
and must be removed by libvirt.

There's an upstream libvirt patch series to address it:
