[ovirt-users] Fwd: ISCSI storage with multiple nics on same subnet disabled on host activation

Mon Jul 17 14:56:29 UTC 2017

Hello, Can any one please help us with the problem described below? 

Nir, I'm including you since a quick search on the internet led me to think that you have worked on this part of the project. Please forgive me if I'm off topic. 

(I incorrectly used below the expression "patch" when I meant "configure". it's corrected now) 

cordialement, regards,

Objet: [ovirt-users] ISCSI storage with multiple nics on same subnet disabled on host activation 

Hello, 

In our oVirt hosts, we are using DELL equallogic SAN with each server connecting to SAN via 2 physical interfaces. Since both interfaces share the same network (Equalogic limitation) we must configure sysctl to to allow iSCSI multipath with multiple NICs in the same subnet : 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
net.ipv4.conf.p2p1.arp_ignore=1
net.ipv4.conf.p2p1.arp_announce=2
net.ipv4.conf.p2p1.rp_filter=2

net.ipv4.conf.p2p2.arp_ignore=1
net.ipv4.conf.p2p2.arp_announce=2
net.ipv4.conf.p2p2.rp_filter=2 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

This works great in most setups, but for a strange reason, on some of our setups, the sysctl configuration is updated by VDSM when activating a host and the second interface stops working immeadiatly : 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
vdsm.log 
2017-06-07 11:51:51,063+0200 INFO  (jsonrpc/5) [storage.ISCSI] Setting strict mode rp_filter for device 'p2p2'. (iscsi:602)
2017-06-07 11:51:51,064+0200 ERROR (jsonrpc/5) [storage.HSM] Could not connect to storageServer (hsm:2392)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/vdsm/storage/hsm.py", line 2389, in connectStorageServer
    conObj.connect()
  File "/usr/share/vdsm/storage/storageServer.py", line 433, in connect
    iscsi.addIscsiNode(self._iface, self._target, self._cred)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/iscsi.py", line 232, in addIscsiNode
    iscsiadm.node_login(iface.name, target.address, target.iqn)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/iscsiadm.py", line 337, in node_login
    raise IscsiNodeError(rc, out, err) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

"strict mode" is enforced for second interface, and it no longuer works... 
Which means - at least - that there is no redundancy in case of hardware faillure and this is not acceptable for our production needs. 

What is really strange is that we have another "twin" site on another geographic region with simillar hardware configuration and same oVirt installation, and this problem does not happen. 
Can this be really random? 
What can be the root cause of this behaviour? How can I correct it? 

our setup: 
oVirt hostedEngine : Centor 7.3, ovirt 4.1.2 
3 physical oVirt nodes centos 7.3, ovirt 4.1.2 
SAN DELL Equalogic
