Hello:
I've been having some cluster and gluster performance issues lately. I
also found that my cluster was out of date, and was trying to apply updates
(hoping to fix some of these), and discovered the ovirt 4.1 repos were
taken completely offline. So, I was forced to begin an upgrade to 4.2.
According to docs I found/read, I needed only add the new repo, do a yum
update, reboot, and be good on my hosts (did the yum update, the
engine-setup on my hosted engine). Things seemed to work relatively well,
except for a gluster sync issue that showed up.
My cluster is a 3 node hyperconverged cluster. I upgraded the hosted
engine first, then engine 3. When engine 3 came back up, for some reason
one of my gluster volumes would not sync. Here's sample output:

---------
Its been in this state for a couple days now, and bandwidth monitoring
shows no appreciable data moving. I've tried repeatedly commanding a full
heal from all three clusters in the node. Its always the same files that
need healing.
When running gluster volume heal data-hdd statistics, I see sometimes
different information, but always some number of "heal failed" entries. It
shows 0 for split brain.
I'm not quite sure what to do. I suspect it may be due to nodes 1 and 2
still being on the older ovirt/gluster release, but I'm afraid to upgrade
and reboot them until I have a good gluster sync (don't need to create a
split brain issue). How do I proceed with this?
Second issue: I've been experiencing VERY POOR performance on most of my
VMs. To the tune that logging into a windows 10 vm via remote desktop can
take 5 minutes, launching quickbooks inside said vm can easily take 10
minutes. On some linux VMs, I get random messages like this:
Message from syslogd@unifi at May 28 20:39:23 ...
kernel:[6171996.308904] NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for
22s! [mongod:14766]
(the process and PID are often different)
I'm not quite sure what to do about this either. My initial thought was
upgrad everything to current and see if its still there, but I cannot move
forward with that until my gluster is healed...
Thanks!
