Fwd: [Gluster-users] Announcing Gluster release 5.5
by Darrell Budic 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

This release of Gluster 5.5 appears to fix the gluster 3.12->5.3 migration problems many ovirt users have encountered. I’ll try and test it out this weekend and report back. If anyone else gets a chance to check it out, let us know how it goes! -Darrell > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Shyam Ranganathan <srangana(a)redhat.com> > Subject: [Gluster-users] Announcing Gluster release 5.5 > Date: March 21, 2019 at 6:06:33 AM CDT > To: announce(a)gluster.org, gluster-users Discussion List <gluster-users(a)gluster.org> > Cc: GlusterFS Maintainers <maintainers(a)gluster.org> > > The Gluster community is pleased to announce the release of Gluster > 5.5 (packages available at [1]). > > Release notes for the release can be found at [3]. > > Major changes, features and limitations addressed in this release: > > - Release 5.4 introduced an incompatible change that prevented rolling > upgrades, and hence was never announced to the lists.

Have you checked this one -> https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=48532 It might help you in your journey. The thread is for CentOS, so if you run a Debian port - won't help you.

unable to put node 4.3.0 host into maintenance for upgrade, Image transfer in progress
by Edward Berger 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

When trying to put a node 4.3.0 into maintenance, I get the following error: -- Error while executing action: Cannot switch Host winterfell.psc.edu to Maintenance mode. Image transfer is in progress for the following (2) disks: 8d130846-bd84-46b0-9a45-b6a2ecf66865, 35fd6f8f-65f5-49e7-ae5a-9b10c5c0a38f Please wait for the operations to complete and try again. -- Attached is an image of the disks UI for those, showing their status. From the engine UI there seems to be no way to clean out "completed" or "failed" uploads/downloads. I tried running the taskcleaner.sh and unlock-entity disk UUIDs but I still get the error. Not sure what to try next...

SR-IOV and linux bridges
by opiekelly＠hotmail.com 21 Mar '19

21 Mar '19

Hello, I believe I have setup my environment to support SR-IOV. I am not sure why the system creates a linux bridge when you setup and bind a VM network to a virtual function on the NIC. I have 2 VLANs 102 and 112 however, there are linux bridges now setup. I would assume with SR-IOV the VF would be connected only to the VM.

Unfortunately, the ideal scheduler really depends on storage configuration. Gluster, ZFS, iSCSI, FC, and NFS don't align on a single "best" configuration (to say nothing of direct LUNs on guests), then there's workload considerations. > > The scale team is aiming for a balanced "default" policy rather than one which is best for a specific environment. > > That said, I'm optimistic that the results will let us give better recommendations if your workload/storage benefits from a different scheduler I completely disagree ! If you use anything other than noop/none (depending if multiqueue is on), your scheduler inside the VM will reorder and delay your I/O. Then the I/O will be received by the Host and this repeats again. I can point to SuSe and Red Hat knowledge base where both vendors highly recommend noop/none as schedulers for VM. It has nothing in common with the backend - that's in control of the hosts I/O scheduler. Can some one tell me under which section should I open a bug ? Bugzilla is not newbie-friendly and I should admit that opening bugs for RHEL/CentOS is far easier. The best bug section might be ovirt appliance - related , as this is only valid for VMs and not bare-metal Engine. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Hi Darrel, Still, based on my experience we shouldn't queue our I/O in the VM, just to do the same in the Host. I'm still considering if I should keep deadline in my hosts or to switch to 'cfq'. After all, I'm using Hyper-converged oVirt and this needs testing. What I/O scheduler are you using on the host?
