Subject: [ovirt-users] Rebooting gluster nodes make VMs pause due to storage error
Hi,
We're using ovirt 3.5.3.1, and as storage backend we use GlusterFS. We
added a Storage Domain with the path "gluster.fqdn1:/volume", and as
options, we used "backup-volfile-servers=gluster.fqdn2". We now need to
restart both gluster.fqdn1 and gluster.fqdn2 machines due to system
update (not at the same time, obviously). We're worried because in
previous attempts, when restarted the main gluster node (gluster.fqdn1
in this case), all the VMs running against that storage backend got
paused due to storage errors, and we couldn't resume them and finally
had to power them off the hard way and start them again.
Gluster version on gluster.fqdn1 and gluster.fqdn2 is 3.6.3-1.
Gluster configuration for that volume is:
Volume Name: volume
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: a2d7e52c-2f63-4e72-9635-4e311baae6ff
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 1 x 2 = 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: gluster.fqdn1:/gluster/brick_01/brick
Brick2: gluster.fqdn2:/gluster/brick_01/brick
Options Reconfigured:
storage.owner-gid: 36
storage.owner-uid: 36
cluster.server-quorum-type: server
cluster.quorum-type: none
network.remote-dio: enable
cluster.eager-lock: enable
performance.stat-prefetch: off
performance.io-cache: off
performance.read-ahead: off
performance.quick-read: off
We would like to know if there's a "clean" way to do such a procedure.
We know that pausing all the VMs and then restarting the gluster nodes
work with no harm, but the downtime of the VMs is important to us and we
would like to avoid it, especially when we have 2 gluster nodes for
that.
Any hints are appreciated,
Thanks.
Hi Nicolas,
I'd suggest to try asking in the gluster mailing list as unless there is some
misconfiguration or a problematic version of any of the components is in use, the scenario
you specified should work (assuming that you are waiting for the server heal process to
end after it comes up). And i'd advise to use a 3 nodes cluster.
Regardless of your question I suggest you to take a look at the gluster
virt store usecase page -
