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.
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:

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?
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!

Elad, do we test GPFS?
You should start with mounting the file system manually. When you have a
working
mount command, you may need to add some mount options to the storage domain
additional mount options.

Hi Nir, thanks for your help.
You can find vdsm mount command in supervdsmd.log.
I checked the file at: /var/log/vdsm/supervdsm.log, but without any relevant information
about mount or gpfs, including other words like: mnt, posix, domain or file. If you
consider, we can add it too.

Did you look in /var/log/messages or demsg as the error message

As I commented before, i can't find any relevant messages on the dmesg output when I
tried to add a new storage domain. The only reports that I can saw, was on the vdsm.log

You should start with mounting the file system manually. When you have a
working
mount command, you may need to add some mount options to the storage domain
additional mount options.
Apparently, on some documentation I read that GPFS is fully supported with Ovirt and RHEV
environments, so I consider that GPFS is a POSIX compliant filesystem. In addition, when I
configured the fs, I defined the type POSIX for two parameters during the creation:
-D posix File locking semantics in effect
-k posix ACL semantics in effect
On the ovirt Add Storage Domain Form, I put on Custom Connection Parameters, the flags
that I encountered on the mount entry for the two GPFS file systems:
rw,relatime
I'm looking for a workaround to try to add this fs on the environment. If you consider
that I can collaborate checking other confs or files, I'm ready to do that.
Kind regards and thanks in advance!

Hi, welcome to oVirt community!
Hi Sandro, Nir and Tal, thanks in advance for your help,
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?
I search on the dmesg output without results, I can't find relevant
messages at the moment when I try to add the new storage domain or
later. As you say, I attached a sosreport on this webpage (due to limits
on the mailserver), maybe it's useful to find the cause of the problem.
If you need more logs, confs, etc, I can add it without problems because
we are on a testing environment.

Hi Sandro,
I finally mounted the GPFS Filesystem as a Data Domain using this parameters on the form
for New Domain :
Domain Function: Data
Name: name_of_the_domain
Storage Type: Posix Compliant FS
Path: gpfs_kvm (the name of the "device"/"filesystem" created, not an
absoluthe path)
VFS Type: gpfs
Mount Options: rw,relatime,dev=gpfs_kvm (the dev parameter is the key to mount the
filesystem).
Due to a changes implemented on the Spectrum Scale / GPFS last versions, removing the
block device on /dev, you must to specify this last parameter to mount correctly the
filesystem. Another point is to check the correct privileges and ownership of the
directory, to allow Ovirt to mount it correctly, is recommended to mount firts manually
the filesystem with mmmount, and change the owner and privileges over the mountpoint.
Thanks for your help.
I consider that this thread is closed.
