Hi all,
I've deployed the ovirt Version 4.2.4.5-1.el7 on a small cluster and I'm
trying to use as datastorage domain a configured Spectrum Scale (GPFS)
distributed filesystem for test it.
Hi, welcome to oVirt community!
I've completed the configuration of the storage, and the filesystem
defined are correctly mounted on the client hosts as we can see:
gpfs_kvm gpfs 233T 288M 233T 1% /gpfs/kvm
gpfs_fast gpfs 8.8T 5.2G 8.8T 1% /gpfs/fast
The content output of the mount comand is:
gpfs_kvm on /gpfs/kvm type gpfs (rw,relatime)
gpfs_fast on /gpfs/fast type gpfs (rw,relatime)
I can write and read to the mounted filesystem correctly, but when I try
to add the local mounted filesystem I encountered some errors related to
the mounting process of the storage.
The parameters passed to add new storage domain are:
Data Center: Default (V4)
Name: gpfs_kvm
Description: VM data on GPFS
Domain Function: Data
Storage Type: Posix Compliant FS
Host to Use: kvm1c01
Path: /gpfs/kvm
VFS Type: gpfs
Mount Options: rw, relatime
The ovirt error that I obtained is:
Error while executing action Add Storage Connection: Problem while
trying to mount target
On the /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log I can see:
2018-07-05 09:07:43,400+0200 INFO (jsonrpc/0) [vdsm.api] START

/gpfs/kvm,\n missing codepage or helper program, or other error\n\n
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try\n dmesg |
tail or so.\n')
I know, that from previous versions on the GPFS implementation, they
removed the device on /dev, due to incompatibilities with systemd. I don't
know if this change affect the ovirt mounting process.
Can you help me to add this filesystem to the ovirt environment?
Adding Nir and Tal for all your questions.
In the meanwhile, can you please provide a sos report from the host? Did
dmesg provide any useful information?
The parameters that I used previously are ok? Or i need to do some
modification?
Its possible that the process fails because i dont have a device related
to the gpfs filesystems on /dev?
Can we apply some kind of workaround to mount manually the filesystem to
the ovirt environment? Ex. create the dir /rhev/data-center/mnt/_gpfs_kvm
manually and then mount the /gpfs/kvm over this?
It's posible to modify the code to bypass some comprobations or something?
Reading the available documentation over Internet I find that ovirt was
compatible with this fs (gpfs) implementation, because it's POSIX
Compliant, this is a main reason for test it in our cluster.
It remains compatible on the actual versions? Or maybe there are changes
that brokes this integration?
Many thanks for all in advance!
Kind regards!
