VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors) when you run scheduled backup
-
Have recreated using XOA; unfortunately failed as described above. I'm afraid this is going to be a long painful post with lots of logs so my apologies in advance, but hopefully someone cleverer than I can see something that I can't.
Setup: Cleaned all the remnant VMs and VDIs from before starting the backup (for some reason seem to get a lot that aren't listed in the GUI but show up in the CLI); same for the halted VMs.
Objective: Three VMs are being backed up from source (xen11-lon1 in the logs) via CR to an identical host target (xen12-lon2 in the logs) on the local LAN, 1st backup (VM: 98gb) succeeds - 98gb, second (68gb) fails after 7 minutes - this is the one we're discussing - and the third automatically cancels. Concurrency in this scenario is set to 1 whereupon we get a failure probably 50% of the time, if concurrency is set to 2 it fails every time.
Outcome:
Attached is the backup log from XOA: backup NG.log.txt
Looking through the source's logs, quite a few storage errors repeating all the way through xensource.log eg :

XOA syslog, only line that refers to the failure is
xo:xo-server ERROR unhandled error event { error: Cancel { message: 'aborted' } }fsck shows disks as being clean, dom0 has 16gb of memory allocated. I've tried numerous variations, cleaning the target down, fresh install of XCP-ng, etc.
If anyone has any ideas or other areas I should be looking, please do jump in. I'm out of ideas
-
Forgot to say - the duplicate referred to in the error is the “[Importing...BackupProcessName-timestamp] halted VM that the backup process itself creates - ie the remnants that I spoke of at the outset that needed to be removed that don’t show in the GUI but can be seen via CLI using
xe vm-list power-state=halted -
Have just updated the hosts with the swathe of patches that came out this morning, and tested with a fresh build from master as of today.
Unfortunately still getting these VDI_IO_ERROR errors when running CR, be it from a trial XOA install or from the latest build from master (rebuilt this morning); nothing particularly helpful jumping out of the logs:
2021-01-23T15_43_13.502Z - backup NG.log.txt
Question to the community - are other people seeing the same VDI_IO_ERROR error occasionally, or is this a unique case? Even if you can't provide access to your logs for privacy reasons, it would be interesting to know if others are seeing it. Of course, that relies upon others seeing this message....
Thanks!
-
Check the usual logs (SMlog and
dmesg) to see if we can spot the root cause. -
@olivierlambert Nothing jumps out from dmesg and nothing useful in SMlog when running the CR, however do get the following exceptions in SMlog upon boot (same error for each disk array):

xapi-explore-sr does not show anything interesting
Thanks chap; v kind of you
-
@shorian said in VDI_IO_ERROR(Device I/O errors) when you run scheduled backup:
SR 7e772759-f44e-af14-eb45-e839cc67689c not attached on this host
Weird. Is it a shared SR? If it's the case, the
masternode need to have access to the SR (because coalesce mechanism works on the master). -
@olivierlambert Nope, not shared. Standalone box with two local disk arrays, both reporting the same error on boot / reattaching, yet seem performant for normal operations. We only get the exception error in SMlog when booting and frequent (but not always) VDI_IO_ERRORs when taking backups. VMs themselves seem to be fine. Quite strange
Both SRs are ext4 in RAID1, one array of 2xSSD and one of 2xSATA.
Should I try reinstalling the host?
-
That's weird. Can you double check there's no "ghost" host that have been there bore? Eg with
xe host-list.Also a
xe sr-param-list uuid=7e772759-f44e-af14-eb45-e839cc67689cto see if we can spot anything. -
@olivierlambert Afraid nothing interesting:

Indeed, nothing special here.

I'll try a fresh install over the next couple of days and see if it reoccurs. Looking at the other boxes, I have the same error on one of the other hosts, but it's not across all of them despite identical installs and hardware.
Thanks for your efforts and help, shame there wasn't an easy answer but let's see if it reoccurs after a completely fresh install.
-
Please keep us posted
-
Have just run a clean install - identical error in SMlog
Following was the last message in dmesg which seems counter to the SMlog error
EXT4-fs (dm-0): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)Can send full SMlog and anything else you can think of - but it's either a hardware error (in which case why identical error accross two hosts?) or an incorrect setting in the install process. I'm at a loss
-
Have tried reformatting disks after changing the boot record - previously was GPT with ext4, have tried using MBR instead but no difference, even after another fresh install.
I'm going through a comparison with another machine that is identical kit but doesn't have those errors, but can't see any differences whatsoever
-
Do you have a 4K sector disk?
-
The (large) SATA drives are, but the SSDs are not; problem is reported for both.

So the problem is consistent across the entire estate.
-
Before refocusing on the original issue, the SMlog error you have on reboot/boot, is it preventing you to use the SR?
-
No, everything seems to work just fine, except for the failure errors when running CR backups, and the messages in the logs when booting / attaching. The VMs themselves are performant, can be migrated on and off the host, and are handling production loads. If it wasn't for the CR errors, I would never have noticed them.
Meanwhile I've dug through the old Xen bug lists and found some similar SR issues but they seem to result in failure to mount but nothing that matches our specific situation.
