Hi team,
I'm currently testing xostor on a three nodes xcp-8.2.1 pool
Before adding any new vm, i replaced a node (xcp-hc3)
Since everything seems to be ok, i've added two vms.
But I think that a diskless resource is missing for "xcp-persistent-database"
Is there a way to resolve this situation ?[10:23 xcp-hc1 ~]# linstor resource list

I am getting :
WARNING: Pool zeroing and 1.00 MiB large chunk size slows down thin provisioning. WARNING: Consider disabling zeroing (-Zn) or using smaller chunk size (<512.00 KiB).How do I change Chunk Size and/or zeroing ?
Can this be done 'on the fly' (without loosing data) ?

This post is deleted! -
This thread has grown quite large and has a lot of information in it. Is there an official documentation chapter on XOSTOR available anywhere?
-
For now it's within this thread
Feel free to tell us what's missing in the first post! -
@BHellman The first post has a FAQ that I update each time I meet users with a common/recurring problem.

Thanks for the replies. My issues are currently with the GUI so I don't know if that applies here. This is all from the GUI, so please let me know if that's outside the scope of this post and I can post elsewhere.
One issue is upon creating a new XOSTOR SR, the packages are installed, however the SR creation fails due to one of the package, sm-rawhba, that needs updating. You have to apply patched through the GUI then reboot the node, or execute "xe-restart-toolstack" on each node. You can then go back and create a new SR, but only after wiping the disks that you originally tried to create the SR on; vgremove and pvremove.
I'm planning on doing some more testing, please let me know if GUI issues are appropriate to post here.

@BHellman It's fine to post simple issues in this thread. For complex problems a ticket is probably better.
One issue is upon creating a new XOSTOR SR, the packages are installed, however the SR creation fails due to one of the package, sm-rawhba, that needs updating.
Not totally that, sm-rawhba is added to the list because the UI installs a modified version of sm with LINSTOR support.
The real issue is that xe-toolstack-restart is not called during the initial setup, a method is missing in our updater plugin to check if a package is present or not, I will add this method for the XOA team. -
I'm not sure what the expected behavior is but....
I have xcp1, xcp2, xcp3 as hosts in my XOSTOR pool, using an XOSTOR repository. I had a VM running on xcp2, unplugged the power from it and left it uplugged for about 5 minutes. The VM remained "running" according to XOA, however it wasn't.
What is the expected behavior when this happens and how do you go about recovering from a temporarily failed/powered off node?
My expectation was that my vm would move to xcp1 (where there is a replica) and start, then outdate xcp2. I have "auto start" enabled under advanced on the VM.
-
@BHellman
"auto start" means that when you power up the cluster or host node that VM will be automatically started.I think you're describing high availability, which needs to be enabled at the cluster level. Then you need to define a HA policy for the vm

I did those commands on xcp1 (pool master) and on the SR that was XOSTOR (linstor) and powered off xcp2. At that point the pool disappeared.
Now I'm getting the following on the xcp servers console:
Broadcast message from systemd-journald@xcp3 (Thu 2024-02-08 14:03:12 EST): xapi-nbd[5580]: main: Failed to log in via xapi's Unix domain socket in 300.000000 seconds Broadcast message from systemd-journald@xcp3 (Thu 2024-02-08 14:03:12 EST): xapi-nbd[5580]: main: Caught unexpected exception: (Failure Broadcast message from systemd-journald@xcp3 (Thu 2024-02-08 14:03:12 EST): xapi-nbd[5580]: main: "Failed to log in via xapi's Unix domain socket in 300.000000 seconds")After powering up xcp2 the pool never comes back in the XOA interface.
I'm seeing this on
xcp1:[14:04 xcp1 ~]# drbdadm status xcp-persistent-database role:Secondary disk:Diskless quorum:no xcp2 connection:Connecting xcp3 connection:Connectingxcp2 and 3
[14:10 xcp2 ~]# drbdadm status # No currently configured DRBD found.Seems like I hosed this thing up really good. I assume this broke because XOSTOR isn't a shared disk technically.
[14:15 xcp1 /]# xe sr-list The server could not join the liveset because the HA daemon could not access the heartbeat disk.Is HA + XOSTOR something that should work?

Hello!
I am attempting to update our hosts, starting with the pool controller. But I am getting a message that I wanted to ask about.
The following happens when I attempt a
yum update--> Processing Dependency: sm-linstor for package: xcp-ng-linstor-1.1-3.xcpng8.2.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: xcp-ng-linstor-1.1-3.xcpng8.2.noarch (xcp-ng-updates) Requires: sm-linstor You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigestOnly reference I am finding is here: https://koji.xcp-ng.org/buildinfo?buildID=3044
My best guess is I need to do two updates, the first one skip broken. But wanted to ask to be sure as to not put things in a weird state.Thanks in advance!

@Jonathon Never use
--skip-broken. -
@Jonathon What's the output of
yum repolist? -
@stormi said in XOSTOR hyperconvergence preview:
