Hi all,
Last week we had problem on our ovirt infrastructure. The hosted engine didn't came up
after the reboot of the host which hosted it. With the help of some people on #ovirt IRC
channel (msivak, nsoffer and some others, thank to all of them) i managed to have my
hosted engine up and running, but the underlying problem is still there. I think there is
an inconsistency between sanlock ID of the hosts.
Some background:
We installed ovirt in 3.5 on CentOS 7 about 9 month ago. We have one DC with two
clusters:
cluster 1: 4 hosts (virt1, virt2, virt3, virt4) that were installed with
'hosted-engine --deploy' so there are capable to run the engine VM.
cluster 2: 2 hosts (virt6 and virt7) that were installed via the webui, so are
'normal' ovirt hosts.
Since that we have successfully upgraded ovirt to 3.6 and set our cluster to 3.6
compatibility mode.
Some weeks after something broke and the virt4 host rebooted. After some help on the IRC
channel, i managed to get the engine vm up and running. After that i dug into the problem
that seems to be around the sanlock part.
After explanations, that i understand is:
sanlock manage locks at DC level. there is an hosted_engine lock to manage who run the VM
and there is a vdsm level lock on the hosted_engine disk (or any other VM disks) to know
who can write to the disk.
The problem in my case is that on some hosts that were installed in 3.5, the hosted_engine
ID and the vds_spm_id are not the same, and some other host have it vds_spm_id identical
to some other host hosted_engine_id. So in some case, some host can't acquire the lock
on some disks and have different IDs in the sanlock space.
Example, im my case:
#
# For the hosted_engine hosts:
#
[root@virt1 ~]# grep host_id /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf
host_id=1
[root@virt2 ~]# grep host_id /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf
host_id=2
[root@virt3 ~]# grep host_id /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf
host_id=3
[root@virt4 ~]# grep host_id /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf
host_id=4
#
# For all hosts, including hosted engine:

So, in this case, for example, the host virt4 have host_id=4 and vds_spm_id=6, so this
host have these 2 ids in sanlock
So my questions are:
* How can i get out of this behaviour ?
* As i didn't find the vds_spm_id on any hosts, can i modify this value in the
database to make them identical to host_id ?
* This strange behaviour is a possible side effect of the upgrade in ovirt in 3.6 and the
import of hosted engine storage in ovirt engine ?
Any pointers are welcome.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
