Hi,

I ran OST on my physical server.
I'm experiencing probably the same issues as described in the thread below.

On one of the hosts:

[root@lago-basic-suite-master-host-0 tmp]# ls -l /rhev/data-center/mnt/
ls: cannot access '/rhev/data-center/mnt/192.168.200.4:_exports_nfs_share1': Operation not permitted
ls: cannot access '/rhev/data-center/mnt/192.168.200.4:_exports_nfs_share2': Operation not permitted
ls: cannot access '/rhev/data-center/mnt/192.168.200.4:_exports_nfs_exported': Operation not permitted

d?????????? ? ?    ?    ?            ? 192.168.200.4:_exports_nfs_share2
drwxr-xr-x. 3 vdsm kvm 50 Nov 27 04:22 blockSD

I think there's some problem with the nfs shares on engine.

I can mount engine's nfs shares directly from server's native OS:

➜  /tmp mkdir -p /tmp/aaa && mount "192.168.200.4:/exports/nfs/share1" /tmp/aaa
➜  /tmp ls -l /tmp/aaa
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 5 36 kvm 4096 Nov 27 10:18 3332759c-a943-4fbd-80aa-a5f72cd87c7c
➜  /tmp

But trying to do that from one of the hosts fails:

[root@lago-basic-suite-master-host-0 tmp]# mkdir -p /tmp/aaa && mount -v "192.168.200.4:/exports/nfs/share1" /tmp/aaa
mount.nfs: timeout set for Wed Nov 27 06:26:19 2019

mount.nfs: prog 100003, trying vers=3, prot=6
mount.nfs: portmap query failed: RPC: Remote system error - No route to host

On the engine side, '/var/log/messages' seems to be flooded with nfs issues, example failures:

I've just merged https://gerrit.ovirt.org/105111 which only silence the issue, but we really need to unblock OST, as it's suffering from this for more than 2 weeks now.

Tal/Nir, could someone really investigate why the storage become unavailable after some time? It may be caused by recent switch of hosts to CentOS 8, but may be not related

Thanks,
Martin

So you think adding vNIC failed because the VM was paused?


Yes, because of the error message "Cannot add a Network Interface when VM is not Down, Up or Image-Locked."

Is this related to the paused vm?


The log entry : '{"status": "Paused", "pauseCode": "EOTHER", "ioerror"' makes me thinking this.
 
You did not provide a timestamp for the engine event above.



I can't find last weeks log, maybe they are faded out already.
Please find more recent logs in

This show that storage was not accessible for 60 seconds (ioprocess
uses 60 seconds timeout).

60 seconds timeout is bad. If we have leases on this storage domain
(e.g. SPM lease) they will
expire in 20 seconds after this event and the vdsm on the SPM host
will be killed.

Do we have network tests changing the network used by the NFS storage
domain before this event?


No.
 
What were the changes the network tests or code since OST was successful?


I am not aware of a change, which might be relevant.
Maybe the fact that the hosts are on CentOS 8, while the Engine (storage) is on CentOS 7 is relevant.
Also the occurrence of this issue seems not to be 100% deterministic, I guess because it is timing related.

The error is reproducible locally by running OST, and just keep the environment alive after basic-suite-master succeeded.
After some time, the storage will become inaccessible.

Do we run the ovn tests after the UI tests?
