Hi all, In the end, I ran this on each host node and is what worked: systemctl stop glusterd && rm -rf /var/lib/glusterd/vols/* && rm -rf /var/lib/glusterd/peers/* Thanks so much for your help. P.S. I work as a sys admin for the San Jose library. Part of my job satisfaction comes from knowing that the work I do here goes directly back into this community. We’r fortunate that you, your coworkers, and Red Hat do so much to give back. I have to imagine you too feel this sense of satisfaction. Thanks again… P.S.S. I never did hear back from users(a)ovirt.org mailing list. I did fill out the fields on this page: https://lists.ovirt.org/ mailman/listinfo/users. Yet, everytime I send them an email I get: Your message to Users awaits moderator approval. Is there a secret handshake, I’m not aware of?

Are the hostname same for two hosts ? I tried a gluster volume stop test1, with this result: volume stop: test1: failed: Another transaction is in progress for test1. Please try again after sometime. can you restart glusterd and try to stop and delete the volume? The etc-glusterfs-glusterd.vol.log shows no activity triggered by trying to remove the test1 volume from the UI. The ovirt-engine.log shows this repeating many times, when trying to remove the test1 volume from the UI: 2017-04-12 07:57:38,049-07 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.lock.InMemoryLockManager] (DefaultQuartzScheduler9) [ccc8ed0d-8b91-4397-b6b9-ab0f77c5f7b8] Failed to acquire lock and wait lock 'EngineLock:{exclusiveLocks='[ b0e1b909-9a6a-49dc-8e20-3a027218f7e1=<GLUSTER, ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_GLUSTER_OPERATION_INPROGRESS>]', sharedLocks='null'}' can you restart ovirt-engine service because i see that "failed to acquire lock". Once ovirt-engine is restarted some one who is holding the lock should be release and things should work fine. Last but not least, if none of the above works: Login to all your nodes in the cluster. rm -rf /var/lib/glusterd/vols/* rm -rf /var/lib/glusterd/peers/* systemctl restart glusterd on all the nodes. Login to UI and see if any volumes / hosts are present. If yes, remove them. This should clear things for you and you can start from basic.

Can you go to gluster nodes and check for the following: 1) gluster volume list -> should not return anything since you have deleted the volumes. 2) gluster peer status -> on all the nodes should show that all the peers are in connected state. can you tail -f /var/log/ovirt-engine/ovirt-engine.log and gluster log and capture the error messages when you try deleting the volume from UI?

I didn’t see any errors. So, I ran a tail -f on the log as I tried to remove the volume using the web UI. here is what was appended: [2017-04-11 19:48:40.756360] I [MSGID: 106487] [glusterd-handler.c:1474:__ glusterd_handle_cli_list_friends] 0-glusterd: Received cli list req [2017-04-11 19:48:42.238840] I [MSGID: 106488] [glusterd-handler.c:1537:__ glusterd_handle_cli_get_volume] 0-management: Received get vol req The message "I [MSGID: 106487] [glusterd-handler.c:1474:__ glusterd_handle_cli_list_friends] 0-glusterd: Received cli list req" repeated 6 times between [2017-04-11 19:48:40.756360] and [2017-04-11 19:49:32.596536] The message "I [MSGID: 106488] [glusterd-handler.c:1537:__ glusterd_handle_cli_get_volume] 0-management: Received get vol req" repeated 20 times between [2017-04-11 19:48:42.238840] and [2017-04-11 19:49:34.082179] [2017-04-11 19:51:41.556077] I [MSGID: 106487] [glusterd-handler.c:1474:__ glusterd_handle_cli_list_friends] 0-glusterd: Received cli list req I’m seeing that the timestamps on these log entries do not match the time on the node. The next steps I stopped the glusterd service on the node with volume test1 I deleted it with: rm -rf /var/lib/glusterd/vols/test1 I started the glusterd service. After starting the gluster service back up, the directory /var/lib/glusterd/vols/test1 reappears. I’m guessing syncing with the other nodes? Is this because I have the Volume Option: auth allow * Do I need to remove the directory /var/lib/glusterd/vols/test1 on all nodes in the cluster individually? thanks ------------------------------ *From:* knarra <knarra(a)redhat.com&gt; <knarra(a)redhat.com&gt; *Sent:* Tuesday, April 11, 2017 11:51:18 AM *To:* Precht, Andrew; Sandro Bonazzola; Sahina Bose; Tal Nisan; Allon Mureinik; Nir Soffer *Cc:* users *Subject:* Re: [ovirt-users] I’m having trouble deleting a test gluster volume On 04/11/2017 11:28 PM, Precht, Andrew wrote: Hi all, The node is oVirt Node 4.1.1 with glusterfs-3.8.10-1.el7.

What happens if I follow the four steps outlined here to remove the volume from the node *BUT*, I do have another volume present in the cluster. It too is a test volume. Neither one has any data on them. So, data loss is not an issue. Running those four steps will remove the volume from your cluster . If the volumes what you have are test volumes you could just follow the steps outlined to delete them (since you are not able to delete from UI) and bring back the cluster into a normal state. ------------------------------ *From:* knarra <knarra(a)redhat.com&gt; <knarra(a)redhat.com&gt; *Sent:* Tuesday, April 11, 2017 10:32:27 AM *To:* Sandro Bonazzola; Precht, Andrew; Sahina Bose; Tal Nisan; Allon Mureinik; Nir Soffer *Cc:* users *Subject:* Re: [ovirt-users] I’m having trouble deleting a test gluster volume On 04/11/2017 10:44 PM, Sandro Bonazzola wrote: Adding some people Il 11/Apr/2017 19:06, "Precht, Andrew" <Andrew.Precht(a)sjlibrary.org&gt; ha scritto: > Hi Ovirt users, > I’m a newbie to oVirt and I’m having trouble deleting a test gluster > volume.

Can you please check /var/log/glusterfs/glusterd.log file if there is any error present? The test volume was distributed with two host members.

And before doing the above make sure that you do not have any other volume present in the cluster. Above steps should not be run on a production system as you might loose the volume and data. Now removing the host from UI should succed. > P.S.
