Subject: [Users] VM has paused due to unknown storage error
H i everyone,
Sunday fun : )
One of our cr itical Linux VMs ran out of disk space. I cleared up
space by removing old application logs within the guest, rebooted
the g uest and was presented with the following information message
during bootup when the filesystem ext3/ 4 scan runs:
Clearing orhpaned inode .....
Shortly after this message the the guest is p aused by oVirt and the
"VM has paused due to unknown storage error" message is displayed in
the oVirt web GUI.
On the physical node itself, I fo und t he following error in
/var/log/vdsm/vd sm.log:
libvirtEventLoop:: <a class=3D"moz-txt-link-freetext"
href=3D"INFO::2012-12=
-02">INFO::2012-12-02</a
09:05:50,296::libvirtvm::1965::vm.Vm::(_onAbnormalStop)
vmId=3D`23b9212c-1e25-4003-aa18-b1e819bf6bb1`::abnormal vm stop device
ide0-0-1 error eother
Any ideas on how to get more inf ormation on what exactly the error
is?
I've tried booting the guest into r es cue mode , run a manual fsck
on the logical v olume but each time the guest is automaticall
paused due to the "unknown storage error".
We are using a FC SAN for s torage , s o what I've decided to try is
expo rt the disk using "dd" on the physical node and t hen try
repairing it by mounting it as a loop filesystem on a nother
physical ser ver , and then use "dd" to import it back in again.
Is this the right approach to take to get the system back online?
