Re: [ovirt-users] LVM structure

Hello, I'm still coping with my qemu image corruption, and I'm following some Redhat guidelines that explains the way to go : - Start the VM - Identify the host - On this host, run the ps command to identify the disk image location : # ps ax|grep qemu-kvm|grep vm_name - Look for "-drive file=/rhev/data-center/0000000 1-0001-0001-0001-00000000033e/b72773dc-c99c-472a-9548- 503c122baa0b/images/91bfb2b4-5194-4ab3-90c8-3c172959f712/ e7174214-3c2b-4353-98fd-2e504de72c75" (YMMV) - Resolve this symbolic link # ls -la /rhev/data-center/00000001-0001-0001-0001-00000000033e/b7277 3dc-c99c-472a-9548-503c122baa0b/images/91bfb2b4-5194-4ab3- 90c8-3c172959f712/e7174214-3c2b-4353-98fd-2e504de72c75 lrwxrwxrwx 1 vdsm kvm 78 3 oct. 2016 /rhev/data-center/00000001-000 1-0001-0001-00000000033e/b72773dc-c99c-472a-9548-503c122baa0 b/images/91bfb2b4-5194-4ab3-90c8-3c172959f712/e7174214-3c2b-4353-98fd-2e504de72c75 -> /dev/b72773dc-c99c-472a-9548-503c122baa0b/e7174214-3c2b-4353 -98fd-2e504de72c75 - Shutdown the VM - On the SPM, activate the logical volume : # lvchange -ay /dev/b72773dc-c99c-472a-9548-5 03c122baa0b/e7174214-3c2b-4353-98fd-2e504de72c75 - Verify the state of the qemu image : # qemu-img check /dev/b72773dc-c99c-472a-9548-5 03c122baa0b/e7174214-3c2b-4353-98fd-2e504de72c75 - If needed, attempt a repair : # qemu-img check -r all /dev/... - In any case, deactivate the LV : # lvchange -an /dev/... I followed this steps tens of times, and finding the LV and activating it was obvious and successful. Since yesterday, I'm finding some VMs one which these steps are not working : I can identify the symbolic link, but the SPM neither the host are able to find the LV device, thus can not LV-activate it : # lvchange -ay /dev/de2fdaa0-6e09-4dd2-beeb-1 812318eb893/ce13d349-151e-4631-b600-c42b82106a8d Failed to find logical volume "de2fdaa0-6e09-4dd2-beeb-18123 18eb893/ce13d349-151e-4631-b600-c42b82106a8d" Either I need two more coffees, either I may be missing a step or something to check. Looking at the SPM /dev/disk/* structure, it looks like very sound (I can see my three storage domains dm-name-* series of links). As the VM can nicely be ran and stopped, does the host activates something more before being launched? -- Nicolas ECARNOT _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
