Jonas Pfefferle commented on CRAIL-93:
--------------------------------------
Regarding having two subsystems one without one with the port. Sorry I did not
clarify this I start the datanode with "-nqn" (this overwrites whatever is
specified in the config) and set it to the subsystem + port. This way both the
datanode and the client connect with subsystem + port. (However the
configuration file has to be kept to only subsystem w/o port)
As for the Host NQN and Host ID to be required or not, take a look at
[https://nvmexpress.org/wp-content/uploads/NVMe_over_Fabrics_1_0_Gold_20160605-1.pdf]
page 22 following it does not say anywhere that these are optional. Maybe I
missed it?
I probably have some time tomorrow to fix both issues, so stay tuned ;)
You are correct "client" in the slidedeck means e.g. Spark using Crail. Btw
only input/output use the HDFS interface in Spark our shuffle and broadcast
plugin directly use the Crail API to get the best performance.
> Using Crail with NVMf, the Default NQN also attaches the port number to the
> name.

> Key: CRAIL-93
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRAIL-93
> Project: Apache Crail
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Environment: I'm running crail nodes with docker containers, on a
> Ubuntu 18.04 base.
> Reporter: David Crespi
> Assignee: Jonas Pfefferle
> Priority: Critical
>
> This is the version I'm actually using: v1.1-2-gf0afadc
> I'm set up to use spdk on the backend to crail. When attempting to attach,
> it appears that crail needs two subsystems to achieve the connection. Instead
> of allowing the default name, I have the system variable set: -e
> NVMF_NQN="nqn.2017-06.io.crail:cnode"
> 1) subsystem NQN: nqn.2017-06.io.crail:cnode
> 2) subsystem NQN: nqn.2017-06.io.crail:cnode4420
> 19/03/01 17:46:45 INFO crail: CrailHadoopFileSystem fs initialization done..
> 19/03/01 17:46:45 INFO crail: Connecting to NVMf target at Transport address
> = /192.168.2.104:4420, subsystem NQN = nqn.2017-06.io.crail:cnode4420
> It appears that the initial connect/discovery of the subsystem uses #1, but
> using the
> crail commands (crail fs -mkdir /test) uses #2.
> Both have to have a valid namespace attached as well.
>
> It also appears that when using my own subsystem NQN (NVMF_NQN) name, crail
> wants to generate its own Host NQN. A new one every time. First, how do you
> learn of that
> NQN, and 2nd, it would be great to disable it if spdk has "allow any hosts"
> set. It refuses
> to connect to spdk.
