[ovirt-users] I’m having trouble deleting a test gluster volume

Hi all,
The node is oVirt Node 4.1.1 with glusterfs-3.8.10-1.el7.
On the node I can not find /var/log/glusterfs/glusterd.log However, there is a /var/log/glusterfs/glustershd.log

What happens if I follow the four steps outlined here to remove the volume from the node BUT, I do have another volume present in the cluster. It too is a test volume. Neither one has any data on them. So, data loss is not an issue.

Hi Ovirt users,
I’m a newbie to oVirt and I’m having trouble deleting a test gluster volume. The nodes are 4.1.1 and the engine is 4.1.0

When I try to remove the test volume, I click Remove, the dialog box prompting to confirm the deletion pops up and after I click OK, the dialog box changes to show a little spinning wheel and then it disappears. In the end the volume is still there.
with the latest version of glusterfs & ovirt we do not see any issue with deleting a volume. Can you please check /var/log/glusterfs/glusterd.log file if there is any error present?


The test volume was distributed with two host members. One of the hosts I was able to remove from the volume by removing the host form the cluster. When I try to remove the remaining host in the volume, even with the “Force Remove” box ticked, I get this response: Cannot remove Host. Server having Gluster volume.

What to try next?
since you have already removed the volume from one host in the cluster and you still see it on another host you can do the following to remove the volume from another host.

1) Login to the host where the volume is present.
2) cd to /var/lib/glusterd/vols
3) rm -rf <vol_name>
4) Restart glusterd on that  host.

And before doing the above make sure that you do not have any other volume present in the cluster.

Above steps should not be run on a production system as you might loose the volume and data.

Now removing the host from UI should succed.


P.S. I’ve tried to join this user group several times in the past, with no response.
Is it possible for me to join this group?

Regards,
Andrew
