Re: [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. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
