[ovirt-users] Re: Scale out ovirt 4.3 (from 3 to 6 or 9 nodes) with hyperconverged setup and Gluster

Hey Sahina, it seems that almost all of my devices are locked - just like Fred's. What exactly does it mean - I don't have any issues with my bricks/storage domains.

Гринуич+3, Sahina Bose < sabose(a)redhat.com&gt; написа: To scale existing volumes - you need to add bricks and run rebalance on the gluster volume so that data is correctly redistributed as Alex mentioned. We do support expanding existing volumes as the bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471031 has been fixed As to procedure to expand volumes: 1. Create bricks from UI - select Host -> Storage Device -> Storage device. Click on "Create Brick" If the device is shown as locked, make sure there's no signature on device. If multipath entries have been created for local devices, you can blacklist those devices in multipath.conf and restart multipath. (If you see device as locked even after you do this -please report back). 2. Expand volume using Volume -> Bricks -> Add Bricks, and select the 3 bricks created in previous step 3. Run Rebalance on the volume. Volume -> Rebalance. On Thu, May 16, 2019 at 2:48 PM Fred Rolland <frolland(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote: Sahina, Can someone from your team review the steps done by Adrian?

It's a linux issue , and not oVirt one. In your case you had something like this: /dev/VG/LV /dev/disk/by-id/pvuuid /dev/mapper/multipath-uuid /dev/sdb Linux will not allow you to work with /dev/sdb , when multipath is locking the block device.

However as a work around, on the newly added hosts (3 total), I had to manually modify /etc/multipath.conf and add the following at the end as this is what I noticed from the original 3 node setup. ------------------------------------------------------------- # VDSM REVISION 1.3 # VDSM PRIVATE # BEGIN Added by gluster_hci role blacklist { devnode "*" } # END Added by gluster_hci role ---------------------------------------------------------- After this I restarted multipath and the lock went away and was able to configure the new bricks thru the UI, however my concern is what will happen if I reboot the server will the disks be read the same way by the OS? Also now able to expand the gluster with a new replicate 3 volume if needed using http://host4.mydomain.com:9090. thanks again On Thu, Apr 25, 2019 at 8:00 AM Strahil Nikolov <hunter86_bg(a)yahoo.com&gt; wrote: In which menu do you see it this way ?
