Hi Wei,

This was with both 0.9.8 as with 1.0.2

Haven't been able to dig into this deeper yet.

Wido,

Could you tell me the libvirt version?
For our platform with this issue, the libvirt version is 0.9.13

There is already quite a bit of logging around this stuff, for example:

                 s_logger.error("deleteStoragePool removed pool from
libvirt, but libvirt had trouble"
                                + "unmounting the pool. Trying umount
location " + targetPath
                                + "again in a few seconds");

And if it gets an error from libvirt during create stating that the
mountpoint is in use, agent attempts to unmount before remounting. Of
course this would fail if it is in use.

             // if error is that pool is mounted, try to handle it
             if (e.toString().contains("already mounted")) {
                 s_logger.error("Attempting to unmount old mount
libvirt is unaware of at "+targetPath);
                 String result = Script.runSimpleBashScript("umount " +
targetPath );
                 if (result == null) {
                     s_logger.error("Succeeded in unmounting " +
targetPath);
                     try {
                         sp = conn.storagePoolCreateXML(spd.toString(), 0);
                         s_logger.error("Succeeded in redefining storage");
                         return sp;
                     } catch (LibvirtException l) {
                         s_logger.error("Target was already mounted,
unmounted it but failed to redefine storage:" + l);
                     }
                 } else {
                     s_logger.error("Failed in unmounting and
redefining storage");
                 }
             }


Do you think it was related to the upgrade process itself (e.g. maybe
the storage pools didn't carry across the libvirt upgrade)? Can you
duplicate outside of the upgrade?

Does this only happen with isos?


Yes, it does.

My work-around for now was to locate all the Instances who had these ISOs
attached and detach them from all (~100 instances..)

Then I manually unmounted all the mountpoints under /mnt so that they
can be
re-used again.

This cluster was upgraded to 4.1 from 4.0 with libvirt 1.0.2 (coming from
0.9.8).

Somehow libvirt forgot about these storage pools.

Hi,

So, I just created CLOUDSTACK-2893, but Wei Zhou mentioned that there
are
some related issues:
* CLOUDSTACK-2729
* CLOUDSTACK-2780

I restarted my Agent and the issue described in 2893 went away, but I'm
wondering how that happened.

Anyway, after going further I found that I have some "orphaned" storage
pools, with that I mean, they are mounted and in use, but not defined
nor
active in libvirt:

What happens here is that the mountpoints are in use (ISO attached to
Instance) but there is no storage pool in libvirt.

This means that when you try to deploy a second VM with the same ISO
libvirt will error out since the Agent will try to create and start a
new
storage pool which will fail since the mountpoint is already in use.

The remedy would be to take the hypervisor into maintainence, reboot
int
completely and migrate Instances to it again.

In libvirt there is no way to start a NFS storage pool without libvirt
mounting it.

Any suggestions on how we can work around this code wise?

For my issue I'm writing a patch which adds some more debug lines to
show
what the Agent is doing, but it's kind of weird that we got into this
"disconnected" state.
