@AudleyElwine said in XOSTOR hyperconvergence preview:
Really strange... Maybe there is a lock or another issue with LINSTOR. In the worst case you can retry after a reboot of all hosts. If it's always stuck I can take a look using a support tunnel, I'm not sure to understand why you have this error. -
@ronan-a I started updating xcp-ng so it can both restart and update on my four nodes (eva, phoebe, mike, ozly).
The nodes were updated with the rolling method, and all three node updated fine, except the forth (mike) (different that the ones that refuses to connect the PBD(eva)) since it is task was stuck at 0.000 progress for 3 hours, so i restarted the toolstack for it(mike) but it didnt do anything, so i restarted the master(eva) node stack. Then when I went to manually update it from XOA, it gives me this error.-1(global name 'commmand' is not defined, , Traceback (most recent call last): File "/etc/xapi.d/plugins/xcpngutils/__init__.py", line 101, in wrapper return func(*args, **kwds) File "/etc/xapi.d/plugins/updater.py", line 96, in decorator return func(*args, **kwargs) File "/etc/xapi.d/plugins/updater.py", line 157, in update raise error NameError: global name 'commmand' is not defined )The good news is, the linstor controller have moved to a different node(phoebe) from the old one(mike) and I was able to delete all volumes in the
linstor --controllers=... resource-definition listexcept for the database, yet the PBD(eva) could not be connected. And the XOA still shows me a lot of disk, and when I scan it I get this errorSR_HAS_NO_PBDS.So now mike server cant update, and eva server cant connect its PBDs while all the other servers are connected. Note eva was the server that I started my linstor installation on.
Do you have any thoughts on what I can do to fix this without reinstalling xcp-ng on mike?
-
Figured out the issue, when I tried to update it from the cli instead. the
/var/logpartition was full due to/var/log/linstor-controllerhaving something like 3.5G+ data (90% of the/var/logvolume). maybe it is due to the past errors it accumulated. I deleted these logs and mike updated normally.Now regarding plugging the PBD to eva (the one host that is not connecting to it). it says the following error.
Error code: SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_202 Error parameters: , General backend error [opterr=Base copy 36a23780-2025-4f3f-bade-03c410e63368 not present, but no original 45537c14-0125-4f6c-a1ad-476552888087 found],this is what linstor resource-definition is showing

So yeah happy ending. Will try the next beta version. Thank you @ronan-a for your work.

@TheiLLeniumStudios In this case, if DRBD is completely stuck, you can reboot your hosts. There is probably a lock or processes that have a lock on them.
-
@AudleyElwine Thank you for your feedbacks, I will update the script to handle the journal cases.
-
@ronan-a 2 of the nodes broke after restarting. I just kept getting the blinking cursor at the top left of the screen for hours. I'm going to have to reprovision all the nodes again sadly
-
Hey @ronan-a ,
What should I do to lower the chance of something in the past installation of xostor to affect my new installation?
lsblkis still showing the linstor volumes,vgsis also showinglinstor_group.
Will awipefs -afbe enough? Or is the "Destroying SR" button in XOA is enough? -
@AudleyElwine The PVs/VGs are kept after a
SR.destroycall but it's totally safe to reuse them for a new installation. The content of/var/lib/linstoris not removed after a destroy call, but it's normally not used because the linstor database is shared between hosts using a DRBD volume and mounted in this directory by the running controller. So you don't have manual steps to execute here.Of course if you want to reuse your disks for another thing,
wipefsis nice for that. -
@TheiLLeniumStudios There are always a solution to repair nodes, what's the output of
linstor --controllers=<HOST_IPS> node list?(Use a comma separated values for HOST_IPS.)
-
We just hit a weird issue that we managed to fix, but wasn't really clear at first what was wrong, and might be a good idea for you guys to add some type of healthcheck / error handling to catch this and fix it.
What happened was that for some unknown reason, our
/var/lib/linstormount (xcp-persistent-database) became read only, but everything kinda kept working-ish, but some stuff would randomly fail, like attempting to delete a ressource. Upon looking at the logs, saw this :Error message: The database is read only; SQL statement: UPDATE SEC_ACL_MAP SET ACCESS_TYPE = ? WHERE OBJECT_PATH = ? AND ROLE_NAME = ? [90097-197]We did a quick write test on the mount
/var/lib/linstorand saw that it was indeed in RO mode. We also noticed that the last update time on the db file was 2 days ago.Unmounting the mount and remounting it had the controller start back again, but the first time, some nodes were missing from the node list, so we restarted the linstor-controller service again and everything is now up and healthy.
-
I think we have a relatively important number of updates coming, fixing various potential bugs
Stay tuned! -
@olivierlambert any eta for the next beta release? Looking forward to test it.
-
Very soon

@Maelstrom96 said in XOSTOR hyperconvergence preview:
What happened was that for some unknown reason, our /var/lib/linstor mount (xcp-persistent-database) became read only
There is already a protection against that: https://github.com/xcp-ng/sm/commit/55779a64593df9407f861c3132ab85863b4f7e46 (2021-10-21)
So I don't understand how it's possible to have a new time this issue. Without the log files I can't say what's the source of this issue, can you share them?
Did you launch a controller manually before having this problem or not? There is a daemon to automatically mount and start a controller:
minidrbdcluster. All actions related to the controllers must be executed by this program.Another idea, the problem can be related to: https://github.com/xcp-ng/sm/commit/a6385091370c6b358c7466944cc9b63f8c337c0d
But this commit should be present in the last release. -
@ronan-a Is there a way to easily check if the process is managed by the daemon and not a manual start? We might have some point restarted the controller manually.

Edit2 : Also, I don't believe that service would've actually caught what happened, since it was mounted first using RW, but seems like DRBD had an issue while the mount was active and changed it to RO. The controller service was still healthy and active, just impacted on DB writes.
-
@Maelstrom96 It's fine to restart the controller on the same host where it was running. But if you want to to move the controller on another host, just temporarily stop
minidrbdclusteron the host where the controller is running. Then you can restart it.The danger is to start a controller on a host where the shared database is not mounted in
/var/lib/linstor.To resume, if the database is mounted (check using
mountpoint /var/lib/linstor) and if there is a running controller: no issue.Edit2 : Also, I don't believe that service would've actually caught what happened, since it was mounted first using RW, but seems like DRBD had an issue while the mount was active and changed it to RO. The controller service was still healthy and active, just impacted on DB writes.
So if it's not related to a database mount, the system may have changed the mount point to read only for some reason yes, it's clearly not impossible.
Also, what logs would you like to have?
daemon.log, SMlog, kern.log, (and also drbd-kern.log if present)
-
@ronan-a I will copy those logs soon - Do you have a way I can provide you the logs off forum since it's a production systems?
