Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 4 master storage down - unable to activate after power loss

First off, a replica 2 gluster volume is not recommended if you want to survive power loss - you need to have a replica 3 gluster volume. From engine logs, I see "Could not connect host to Data Center(Storage issue)" but there are no errors in the attached vdsm.log. Can you provide the relevant vdsm log and also the gluster mount logs? What's the output of "gluster volume heal <volname> info" ? ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Robin Vanderveken" <rvanderveken(a)dlttechnologies.com&gt; > To: users(a)ovirt.org > Sent: Monday, July 25, 2016 2:01:24 PM > Subject: [ovirt-users] oVirt 4 master storage down - unable to activate after power loss > > Dear oVirt users > > I've been having several problems with my oVirt nodes utilising GlusterFS > after simulating a power loss. > > Our testing setup for oVirt consists of 3 nodes, 2 with GlusterFS storage and > 1 just for computing.
