      Again, you can check the "result" on the "Advanced" tab of your SR in XO 🙂

        Hi mbt,

        Recently I have had this problem a lot.

        in XOA, bring up "Storages" and locate the SR. Click on Advanced and see if that VHD is showing up as needing to be coalessed. Does the depth oscillate between 1,2,1,2,1,2,etc.?

        If so, shutdown the VM, and force a rescan of the SR.

        There will be a 5 minute pause between the time the GC goes quiet to when it goes active. Let the system do a offline coalesce on the VHD and see if that clears it.

          I also find:

          tail -f /var/log/SMlog | grep SMGC
          

          to be my friend... Worrying... But hypnotic to watch at 3AM 8-)

            Hi Peg,

            thanks for the information!
            The situation stayed the same, so the online coalescing for this paricular vm still doesn't work right now and therefore it gets skipped by the daily delta backup job.
            I think yesterday I saw the depth oscillate for a splitsecond down to 1 and then back to 2.

            Unfortunately the VM is in access 24/7 by users in all kinds of time zones around the world. I'll have to schedule a maintenance window with the customer and hope this gets the job done. Not being able to backup a vm makes me nervous.

            -alex

              The only reason I know for this case would be: creating more new blocks than the SR can coalesce. You can isolate this VM on another SR to see if the situation is improved.

                Now something strange happened:

                To have at least some sort of recent backup I started a vm copy to the other host. It is currently only 10% through but while it was working I saw some activity in the SMLog and one after another, the stalled coalesce jobs disappeared.

                I'll wait for the copy to finish and see if backup is now working again.

                I'm with you Olivier, on "creating more new blocks than the SR can coalesce", but there's only double digit or low triple digit IOPS on the sr, barely throughput, etc. So there's very low load. Whenever some of the other vms' vdis get coalesced or when they are backupped stats pick up and we get several thousand IOPS, etc.
                That's why I'd say that bare metal performance can't be the issue here.

                  It's not bare metal perf, it's how coalesce prio is set with hard limits in the code. Feel free to dig inside it, I never had the time to do it myself 🙂

                    Hi mbt,

                    Sadly, when thing get that messy for me, I find that the only solution is to export the VM and then import. Thats one the (longest but most reliable) ways of de-leafing the tree.

                    Now, a trick I use, if downtime is an issue, is to do a Disaster Recovery backup to the same machine or SR. Once the backup is complete, I copy the MAC addresses for the network cards to the new VM (it will complain, but its OK), clear the blocked operations on the new VM, shutdown the original and then start the new.

                    If you use the above method, you can clear the blocked operation by using CLI:

                    xe vm-param-clear param-name=blocked-operations uuid=<NEW UUID>
                    

                    If you are using the "enterprise" or open source version, you can eliminate the amount of data that will be missing from the point of starting the DR backup and the starting up of the new server by performing a Continuous Replication while the server is still running and after the replication is finished, shut the server down, do a second Continuous Replication to sync the images and then perform the steps I mentioned above.

                    If you do the above, your downtime is in minutes and not longer.

                    I hope that helps a bit,
                    Peg

                      We are not aware of that kind of coalesce issues, what kind of SRs do you have?

                        Hi Oliver,

                        The problem is of my own making and in no way blame XO for this. Its a perfect storm of events that caused my problem. Basically, I had a schedual that did delta backups to a local NFS repo. Later that night, I have 2 other jobs that do Cont Replication to 2 other DC's. Lastly, I have a monthly backup that spools to another NFS Repo that we backup to DLT tapes.. Basically what happened is some of the jobs got delayed finishing and they over-ran and were running on top of each other. The GC got overloaded and started to throw "Exception Timeout" and the situation just kept building and got worse. As a consequence, I started to get "Weird" things happening in the running VM's (long delays, sluggishness, crashing of daemons, etc..) Once I realized what was going on, it was to late and I am doing the above to about 200+ VM's to get it fixed.

                        We are using LLVMoiSCSI on Equal Logic PS6000's as the backend

                        If you want a laugh, this is what one of my VDI tree's looks like:

                          IIRC, we got a protection on the same job to re-run on itself. But not between jobs.

                          I'm a bit surprised that our VDI chain protection didn't prevent this scenario.

                            <looks sheepishly as he admits> It probably would have.... The Cont replication jobs were running on a opensource version (different appliance) while the incremental and full (monthly) exports were being run on a Enterprise version.

                            Not sure if the VDI protection would pick up the other XOA jobs.

                              Mixing jobs in various XO isn't a good idea in any case.

                                For the records:

                                After the vm copy that somehow seems to have triggered the coalescing the delta backup job and another weekly full backup job ran without any issues.

                                Today is going to be interesting. The daily deltas only run weekdays (Mo-Fr), the full backup on Sundays. The deltas ran fine, the full backup afterwards, too. But now I again see stuck vdi coalesce jobs on the sr's advanced tab.
                                Looks the same as last Monday. If it doesn't clear over the day I'll try the same trick from Friday and see if that works again.

                                Interesting, that now twice in a row this happens after the full backup job.

                                  Same as Friday. I started a copy of the vm and immediately the coalescing began and finished successfully shortly after.

                                    mbt,

                                    How are you copying the VM? Are you using XC or XO and are you doing a fast clone or a full copy? If you have the same problem as I do at the moment, using fast clone will not help your situation as it will not create a new tree for the VHD.

                                    It does not surprise me that you are seeing the SMGC kick in. Some operations will ask the SM to re-scan the SR and this will also cause the SMGC to start. If you previously had a stuck job that "Exceptioned" the GC will try again, and if the VM is shutdown, it will be able to do a offline coalesce.

                                    See if you can get a tree view of your VDI's and look for something that has a lot of indents in it.. What type of SR do you use? iSCSI or NFS?

                                      Hi Peg:
                                      I did a full copy in XO.

                                      Coalescing of the vm's vdis is blocking the backup again. 😞

                                      I can tell from the log, that SMGC ist doing something. In htop I can also see the "vhd-util check" running at 100% cpu, then stopping, then a "vhd-util coalesce" runs and does the reading / writing.
                                      When I wrote here last week, there was always only a "vhd-util check", no coalesce, until I did the VM copy.

                                      May it be the "vhd-util check" is taking too long? This is what I see consuming most of the time. The actual coalescing of maybe 100MB, 200 MB is done in a splitsecond.

                                      How do I get a tree view of my vdis?

                                      The system is a brand new 2x Intel Xeon Silver 4110 8Core, 2.1GHz. The sr is a local LVM sr and sits on a 4x 1.9TB SATA SSD hardware RAID and 128 GB RAM. Both pool members are identical.

                                      Here is a part of the log as example:

                                      So yes, it seems like Olivier said, that the system is not coalescing fast enough. The most time seems to be spent in "vhd-util check". I assume that is a process that checks for changed blocks?

                                      What I am not getting is:
                                      Why is it too slow?
                                      Why now?

                                      The vm has no heavier usage compared to the past years. It's been running without such problems on SAS HDDs with XCP-ng 7.x and Xenserver using XO before.

                                      Btw. I'm seeing exceptions again (they were gone last week after the vm copy):

                                        Do you have the same issue on the other host on its local SR?

                                          I moved the vm last week to the other host and checked if the delta job worked but it didn't. But I didn't give it time to maybe coalesce. I'll migrate the vm and check that out.

                                          One question for my understanding:
                                          The line "Coalesced size = xxx" - does it mean how much of the vhd size is coalesced right now?
                                          I can see that number in the logs slowly increasing over time.

                                          For example:

                                          And I got 475 entrys from 4 a.m until now (11 a.m.).

                                          FYI: There's a total of 12 VMs on both pool members, including the XO vm.

                                            Not sure if this is the vdi tree you mentioned, but I get this when triggering a sr rescan in the log:
