@ronan-a Thanks that fixed it and all hosts now have the SR connected.
Running
linstor node list
only works on node XCPNO01, on the other 4 nodes I get the errorError: Unable to connect to linstor://localhost:3370: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address
still. Is this expected? -
@geoffbland Yeah, you can only have one running controller in your pool, so you can use the command like this to use the controller remotely:
linstor --controllers=<node_ips> ...
Where
node_ips
is a comma-separated list. -
@ronan-a you can only have one running controller in your pool
OK, got it, that makes sense. I think it is time I started reading up on Linstor rather than bugging you with what are probably easy questions to answer if I just read up a bit more. Thanks.

What is the URL for the GitHub repo for XOSTOR in case I find some issues and need to report them? I looked under the xcpng project - only sm (Stroage Manager) seemed relevant.
-
@geoffbland Yes, https://github.com/xcp-ng/sm is the right repository.
-
@ronan-a Thanks.
There's no Issues tab on this repo so no way to open issues on this repo. Are Issues turned on for this? -
@geoffbland The entry for issues is this repo: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp
The sm repo is used for the pull requests. -
First tests with XOSAN with newly created VMs have been good.
I'm now trying to migrate some existing VMs from NFS (TrueNAS) to XOSAN to test "active" VMs.
With the VM running - pressing the Migrate VDI button on the Disks tab, pauses the VM as expected but when the VM restarts the VDI is still on the original disk. The VDI has not been migrated to XOSAN.
If I first stop the VM and then press the Migrate VDI button on the Disks tab, I then do get an error.

Exporting the VDI from NFS and (re)importing as a VM on XOSTOR does work.
I'm guessing this is not a problem with XOSTOR specifically but with XO or NFS, still I would like to work out what is causing migration and how to fix it?
Also I have noticed that the underlying volume on XOSTOR/linstor that was created and started to be populated does get cleaned up when the migrate fails.
This is using XO from the sources - updated fairly recently (commit 8ed84) and XO server 5.92.0.
-
It could be interesting to understand why the migration failed the first time. Is there absolutely no error during this first migration?
-
@olivierlambert Thanks for the prompt response.
I am pretty sure there was no error reported but as I cleared down the logs when I retried from on export/import I can't be 100% sure.
So I tested migration on another VM to try and replicate this and this time migration worked OK.
The only difference I can think of is that the failure occurred on a VM created quite a time ago - whilst the working VM had been created recently.
I will do a few more tests and see if I can replicate this again.
-
Okay great If you can reproduce, that would be even better to try to do the migration with
xe
CLI, this way we remove more moving pieces in the middle -
@olivierlambert Sorry, took some time to get around to this. But trying to migrate a VDI from an NFS store to XOSTOR is still failing most of the time. This is a VM that was created some time ago - it I do the same with the VDI of a a recently created VM the migration seems to work OK.

Running this I see the VM pause as expected for a few minutes and then it just starts up again. VM is still running with no issues - it just did not move the VDI.
What is the resource with UUID
735fc2d7-f1f0-4cc6-9d35-xxxxxxxxec6c
that it is trying to find? That UUID does not match the VDI.The VDI must be OK as the VM is still up and running with no errors.
As this is probably not an XOSTOR issue - should I raise a new topic for this?
-
It's hard to tell. If you can migrate between non-XOSTOR SRs and see if you reproduce, then it's another issue. If it's only happening when using XOSTOR in the loop, then it's relevant here

@geoffbland I can't reproduce your problem, can you send me the SMlog of your hosts please?

It seems like xe may be getting mixed up between where a host is running and where the XOSTOR storage is held.
Apologies if I have misunderstood and done something wrong here - but I think this migration should have worked.
I created a new VM on one of my hosts XCPNG05 using XOSTOR as the VDI RS. I can see that the linstore volumes are on hosts XCPNG01, XCPNG03 and XCPNG05.
XCPNG05 is an Intel server, XCPNG01 and XCPNG03 are AMD. The VM is running on XCPNG05.
Now when I try to migrate the VM's VDI from XOSTOR onto a local VDI on the same host the VM is currently running on I get a warning about incompatible CPUs.To replicate the issue:
Create new VM test05 on XOSTOR.
