[Bug 1032550] Re: [multipath] failed to get sysfs information
Hi Ronald, Sorry I haven't been timely, this is the best I can do with community level support If kdump isn't launching even in the most trivial case then you have to start from zero. is crashkernel even configured? * grep crash /proc/crashkernel How much memory do you have, could you assign more memory to the crash kernel? * http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.7.1/Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt#L270 * 256MB would be preferable Can you even kexec at all? * kexec -p # loads the panic kernel, man kexec If you boot your system with maxcpus=1 (I think that's it) and pretend you're a uniprocessor system, will kexec load? Can you attach a serial console to your machine and post the output? In /etc/init.d/kdump # Append kdump_needed for initramfs to know what to do, and add # maxcpus=1 to keep things sane. APPEND=$APPEND kdump_needed maxcpus=1 irqpoll reset_devices Start adjusting these variables, like remove 'reset_devices', reload the kexec kernel (service kdump restart), and systematically remove variables (except kdump_needed) noting the change in the kernel output. Is this an enterprise server with an NMI button? If you configure panic on nmi pressing that button, that will definitely change the base variables used to launch kexec. Folks thought Stratus was a bit overkill, having a complete mirror of CPU/Memory operating in lockstep for HA. The nice thing about it is if the primary ever did crash, we would literally hold that unit in stasis, reboot on the other unit, and reap the dump from it's preserved memory, works 100% and automatic.

[Bug 1032550] Re: [multipath] failed to get sysfs information
@Ronald
First, please attach http://www.rmoesbergen.nl/vmcore-crash.tgz to the bug,
launchpad
can handle it just fine. Also, this is going to take awhile. We're off all next
week so don't
expect any movement on this until early-mid Jan. Feel free to ping me if I
forget.
Also, at what time did your testing start? I'm seeing this everywhere almost
immediately
emc: ALUA failover mode detected
Could you also illustrate what the steady state target distribution
should be?
I see targets like this:
sd 3:0:0:0: [sdb] 41943040 512-byte logical blocks: (21.4 GB/20.0 GiB)
in the minority compared to
sd 3:0:0:1: [sdc] 419430400 512-byte logical blocks: (214 GB/200 GiB)
Wondering if your SAN is misreporting READ CAPACITY.
The dump looks good. Immediately I can tell you that all the scsi hosts
are still RUNNING and not in error handling. It looks like I'll have examine
the scsi target states and the dm tables.
So there are these stuck processes
crash ps | grep UN
1530 2 0 880415ef9700 UN 0.0 0 0 [jbd2/dm-1-8]
2180 2 1 88040613ae00 UN 0.0 0 0 [flush-252:1]
4739 1 2 880418e7 UN 5.8 16426520 1029488 mysqld
Which adds up, you can't write back.
This also looks really suspicious.

This might be self inflicted. First, we have really good multipath documentation now. You're better off following our docs first and then supplementing it with the vendor docs if it doesn't work. Many popular SANs have built-in support. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/dm-multipath-chapter.html HP MSA's are already included in the built-in DB, your config file is likely not needed so lets start by eliminating that as a variable by following these directions. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/multipath-setting-up-dm- multipath.html#multipath-setup-overview plus your path alias, and, # update-initramfs -u -k all To copy the multipath.conf to the ramdisk. Make all these changes, reboot, and before you shutdown again grab: * sudo dmsetup table * sudo udisks --dump * sudo -i; echo 'show config' | multipathd -k and attach to the bug. Thanks.

[Bug 1178721] Re: multipathd fails to create mappings when multipath.conf is present
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/multipath-devices.html You cannot have a default LVM config co-exist with multipath. They will race to grab the SD device for map creation and whoever gets there first wins; they both use device mapper. LVM is configured using UDEV so it's the first pass, multipath in run by legacy rc script. You must configure LVM to blacklist all SD devices. Then, you must configure LVM to use allow the disks necessary for the root volume using the UDEV names e.g. /dev/disk/by-id SD names are never deterministic, sorry, that's what udev us for. When the multipath volume is not root, you can easily test the config per the documentation. Any time a change is made to either multipath.conf or lvm.conf, the initrd must be updated; also in the documentation. Multipath usually runs last, so if you didn't push the lvm blacklist to the ramdisk, by the time multipath runs there's nothing left for it to attach to. Your virtual multipath is bogus, there's nothing that will arbitrate write ordering, the block names aren't deterministic, and they never can be because they don't have make/model/serial# which udev uses to create unique names. You could easily multipath your root disk + a MP leg and be left with swiss cheese based on scan ordering or hotplug events. If you remove LVM from the stack and follow the directions for properly propagating multipath to the ramdisk, it will work. Start small, then add an additional layer of complexity. There does not exist a tool which integrates the deployment of LVM + multipath anywhere, you have to understand both and configure by hand. It is challenging to deploy an LVM config that co-exits with multipath.

Re: [Bug 1178721] Re: multipathd fails to create mappings when multipath.conf is present
At this point I would seriously consider obtaining commercial support. This is clearly a support issue and not a bug and has been closed as invalid. LVM could have easier to grok filtering but it does work, you just have to get creative by changing the scan directory. For example: UNTESTED scan = [ /dev/mapper] filter = [ a|^/dev/mapper/mpath.*|, r/.*/ ] pvscan -vvv is your friend. Concerning your other SAN question, please seek professional support or seek forums (google) where SAN admins gather. We can't know how to configure *every single SAN on the market*. Again, LVM multipath are distro agnostic, *any other distro doc will do*. e.g. https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en- US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Logical_Volume_Manager_Administration/lvm_filters.html On 06/10/2013 03:33 PM, Jernej Jakob wrote: Thank you for your help. I wasn't aware of the limitation (incompatibility) caused by co-deploying LVM and multipath, it was my assumption that multipath would be configured to take precedence over LVM for having PVs on multipath block devices, as having it the other way around, as in multiple paths over LVM logical volumes would not make sense. I can assume that this would be a pretty common scenario, as for example, you may have one volume mapped from SAN over FC on which the tools that LVM offers would be valuable. It would seem that a simple check at boot time, checking whether LVM and multipath are co-deployed, starting multipath first, letting it create paths and then adding those found to LVM's filter. I understand however that this is in no way common usage and requires a skillful enough administrator to be aware of the possible scenarios caused. Regarding the multipath config itself, this is the default config, functionally the same as the one proposed for MSA2012fc by HP. The virtual one is of course bogus... not to be used, just to demonstrate the failure mode. The actual servers will have a dual-port FC HBA with each port going to separate zones on a switch, with itself being connected with 2 cables each to the 2 controllers (4 in total) of the SAN, so there will be 2 paths for each volume. This is required for this SAN in order to have redundancy for controller failure. I just tried this with the physical server, and it still doesn't work as it should. In lvm.conf, blacklisted all the sd* devices and allowed only /dev/disk/by-id. Or should even the id's of the MP volumes be blacklisted, only allowing the one single PV's id? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1178721 Title: multipathd fails to create mappings when multipath.conf is present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1178721/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 985741] Re: multipath can't show device on which is setup lvm
I don't think you need to upgrade at all, your multipathd is sufficiently modern and not much different from the version in 12.04. Interesting, I see that you're using user_friendly_names, though since you're also using LVM, it kind of makes that feature redundant as the LVM is now your user friendly name, and having that multipath feature adds another level of complexity when UDEV is creating devices. Please set user_friendly_names no in /etc/multipath.conf, and update your initrd update-initramfs -k all -u. The last part is important as the multipath.conf is copied to the initrd and used as the basis for any blacklists or additional UDEV juggling. What might have happened is you didn't update the initrd since you created the initial multipath config. Since the default is no, the ramdisk creates the normal long style WWID names, then it mounts root, multipathd starts which finds user friendly names set and then begins destroying the original WWID names in exchange for the mpathx versions. If LVM has claimed the MP device by then, destruction of the original name (and dmtable entry) will be blocked by reference counting. In general, it's imperative that you update the initramfs whenever lvm.conf or multipath.conf is changed, especially when you're using them together. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/multipath-devices.html #multipath-devices-in-logical-volumes Also, please adjust your local character encoding to a western font.

[Bug 927540] Re: multipath ignores blacklist in multipath.conf
multipath supports POSIX regexp: libmultipath/regex.c so you do need
the . to inform the wildcard what it's matching against e.g. (1+ more
characters).
There are also examples in the multipath.conf.defaults file that provide
examples
of regexp like:
# device {
# vendor HP
# product LOGICAL VOLUME.*
# getuid_callout /lib/udev/scsi_id --whitelisted
--device=/dev/%n
and
# device {
# vendor DGC
# product .*
# product_blacklist LUNZ
If you want to wildcard an entire field, leaving out the dot works, but when you
start matching within strings, you need to specify what it is you're matching.
#blacklist {
# devnode ^(ram|raw|loop|fd|md|dm-|sr|scd|st)[0-9]*
# devnode ^hd[a-z]
# devnode ^dcssblk[0-9]*
#}
You could try a dramatically simplified multipath.conf like this:
blacklist {
device {
vendor *
product *
}
}
blacklist_exceptions {
device {
vendor NETAPP
product LUN
}
}
The continue configuring your SAN under a new devices{ device {} } section.
In my case I just take the defaults. to prove to yourself that this works,
stop multipath server, flush all paths (multipath -F), and then change
the config file to include only the blacklist (exclude everything), run
multipath -v4 and observe.

[Bug 585027] Re: Race condition with dmsetup causes 'map already present' messages
In examining the ioctl interface to device mapper (kernel), I have not found any architecture that assures that when a device mapper device has been marked for deletion, that this information is relayed back to userspace so it can block on this deletion. An example will clarify things. In SD we have a state machine the details the teardown of a SCSI device. Deletion is latched in two FSM states, SDEV_CANCEL and SDEV_DEL. The first state tells everyone that this device is on it's way out and to stop trying to use it, DEL is the final state where callbacks start the kobj destruction process. In this model, it's easy to determine that a device is being deleted by examining the state variable in sysfs. It's of little consequence here as SD devices are not deterministic, the same name need not be used, if sdd was being deleted, and another hotplug create event was generated, SD would hand you sde. Deterministic names are left to udev. In the device mapper case, the WWID is a deterministic and unique name, there is no substitute. Once the device has been marked for deletion, there's no readily apparent way to verify that it has in fact been marked for deletion. dev_status is the closest we can get, and the flags it provides are not clear enough to determine that a device is being deleted. Therefore, the mechanism does not exist to even poll for the destruction of a dm name, as we can't even determine that the dm name is being destroyed. We couldn't wait for deletion if we wanted to. http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.4.4/drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c#L656 So this really isn't a bug, it's an example of DM's current design. If we want to address the issue then we'll have to propose an enhanced tear down protocol, and then update any device mapper consumers to use this protocol. There might be a way to infer a deletion state from a combination of flags, but that will take a concentrated effort to determine. This issue is a synthetic fault at best, there's no real impact to the user. ** Changed in: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585027 Title: Race condition with dmsetup causes 'map already present' messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/585027/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 585027] Re: Race condition with dmsetup causes 'map already present' messages
@Alasdair
It's buried in the description:
We were attempting variants of 'while true; do sudo multipath -F; sudo
multipath -v4 ; done' to create a set of udev add/remove events and
noticed that shortly after starting, no output appeared within the
'udevadm monitor' command.
So it appears that multipath is sending a DM ioctl to create a map with the
same wwid,
that should have been completely removed at the exit of 'multipath -F'.
There's
no dmsetup command executing out of band unless there's some udev rule
misbehaving.
The udev rules managing dmsetup are /lib/udev/rules.d/55-dm.rules
I'm not familiar with the cookie feature you mentioned, but we appear to have
some of the
capability here. I haven't compared it to upstream yet.
55-dm.rules
# Decode udev control flags and set environment variables appropriately.
# These flags are encoded in DM_COOKIE variable that was introduced in
# kernel version 2.6.31. Therefore, we can use this feature with
# kernels = 2.6.31 only.
ENV{DM_COOKIE}==?*, IMPORT{program}=/sbin/dmsetup udevflags $env{DM_COOKIE}
ENV{DM_COOKIE}==?*, RUN+=/sbin/dmsetup udevcomplete $env{DM_COOKIE}
and compared to our packaged source in precise:
12:29:34multipath-tools-0.4.9$ grep -R cookie .
./kpartx/devmapper.c:dm_simplecmd (int task, const char *name, int no_flush,
uint32_t *cookie) {
./kpartx/devmapper.c: if (udev_wait_flag !dm_task_set_cookie(dmt, cookie,
0))
./kpartx/devmapper.c: mode_t mode, uid_t uid, gid_t gid, uint32_t *cookie)
{
./kpartx/devmapper.c: if (task == DM_DEVICE_CREATE
!dm_task_set_cookie(dmt, cookie, 0))
./kpartx/kpartx.c: uint32_t cookie = 0;
./kpartx/kpartx.c:0, cookie)) {
./kpartx/kpartx.c: buf.st_gid,
cookie)) {
./kpartx/kpartx.c:1, cookie)) {
./kpartx/kpartx.c:cookie);
./kpartx/kpartx.c:
cookie);
./kpartx/kpartx.c: dm_udev_wait(cookie);
./libmultipath/config.h:uint32_t cookie;
./libmultipath/devmapper.c: if (udev_wait_flag !dm_task_set_cookie(dmt,
conf-cookie, 0))
./libmultipath/devmapper.c: !dm_task_set_cookie(dmt, conf-cookie, 0))
./libmultipath/devmapper.c: if (!dm_task_set_cookie(dmt, conf-cookie, 0))
./multipath/main.c: dm_udev_wait(conf-cookie);
This cookie mechanism is news to me, I'll take a closer look, thanks.

[Bug 585027] Re: Race condition with dmsetup causes 'map already present' messages
So when this bug was first reported we were using multipath 0.4.8, it doesn't appear to have this cookie mechanism. 0.4.9 does (oneiric and higher); I have been unable to reproduce the issue with 0.4.9. Going back through the logs... From 8d63b33d0996e141a2451df552b062b908db15bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Marzinski bmarz...@redhat.com Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 14:03:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] multipath: add udev sync support. device-mapper in now able to synchronize operations through udev. This patch allows multipath and kpartx to make use of this feature. If kpartx is run with -s, it waits for the partitions to be created before returning. Multipath will now always wait for the devices to be created before returning. This feature requires dm_task_set_cookie() which was finalized in device-mapper version 1.2.38 Appears to be where cookie support was initially added. I'll retest with 0.4.8 to verify that the fault still exists (probably) and take it from there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585027 Title: Race condition with dmsetup causes 'map already present' messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/585027/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1020436] Re: Cannot read superblock after FC multipath failover
Your blacklist definition is wrong. You provided.
blacklist {
wwid 3600605b0039afe20ff54052e7d38
vendor SMART
product SMART
}
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
}
wwid cites an entire device, vendor product cite a different device and must
be
included in device { } block. If you look at the show config output, you'll
note
that your blacklisted device by vendor/product isn't there.
Change to:
blacklist {
wwid 3600605b0039afe20ff54052e7d38
device {
vendor SMART
product SMART
}
}
defaults {
user_friendly_names yes
}
update your initrd (multipath.conf is copied there) and reboot.
Also, it would be nice to see a list of all your storage devices. I prefer
lsscsi, e.g.
root@nashira:~# lsscsi
[0:0:0:0]cd/dvd hp DVD A DS8A5LH 1HE3 /dev/sr0

[5:0:0:0]diskNETAPP LUN 8020 /dev/sdc
[5:0:1:0]diskNETAPP LUN 8020 /dev/sde
Finally, since this is FC, how is it zoned? Detailed port level topology please.

The way multibus works is a lot like network bonding link aggregation, io is simply steered down the remaining paths. What might have happened is the LVs backed by this mpath device somehow got deactivated and that's why the filesystem can't write back. Try this for me please. Shutdown those paths and keep them down, then after about a minute, run. # lvs -o lv_attr We should see w and a for every volume, if not, that's the problem. Also, while in the failed state, see if you can do a dd read from one of the mpaths? like dd if=/dev/mapper/mpath0 of=/dev/null count=10. If that works, try the same thing with a random sd device. I don't see anything amiss in the strace. The SG ioctls look OK and the ioctls made to DM make sense. We want to determine at which level that sending block ios is hung up. ** Changed in: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020436 Title: Cannot read superblock after FC multipath failover To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1020436/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Using the lucid kernel, I was able to reproduce, though it took a lot longer than original report implied, easily over an hour, probably more than 3 I wasn't watching it the entire time. multipath-tools 0.4.8-14ubuntu4.10.04.2 kernel 2.6.32-41-generic udevadm monitor simply stops responding. I cannot remove the dm maps, they say busy/in use. They are not mounted or used by anyone. Using the same kernel and multipath 0.4.9-3ubuntu5 I was unable to reproduce the issue.

I assume dm-4 is the LV that XFS is mounted on, did you run the dd test
on that?
I'm starting to wonder if the LVM device filter is lying to us, after failover,
something
changes which misrepresents the LV and then XFS bails out.
If you can perform that DD for every PV that backs dm-4 successfully then
there's
something wrong with the DM map for those LVs after failover occurs.
OK, what I need from you now is a before and after (same fault injection
method) of:
0) ls -lR /dev/ dev_major_minor.log
1) lvs -o lv_attr
2) pvdisplay -vvv
3) lvdisplay -vvv
4) dmsetup table -v
5) dd test on all block devices: lv, mp, sd
6) dmesg output
Please attach this as a single tarball, that has a timestamp in the filename
and has a directory structure of:
foo.tgz
before/
after/
If this all checks out, then what's probably happening is the when
multipath begins the failover process, there's enough of a delay that
XFS simply bails out early before IO is ready to be sent down the
remaining paths. group by priority may perform better here and is
something you can test.
I looked at the XFS mount arguments and didn't find anything that would
make it more lenient in these situations.
If you can manage it, a LUN formatted with ext3 under these circumstances
would help in ruling out whether the filesystem is part of the problem.
Thanks.

[Bug 1020436] Re: Cannot read superblock after FC multipath failover
It doesn't look like your lvm.conf filter is working. (pvdisplay) /dev/sdb: block size is 4096 bytes /dev/sdb: lvm2 label detected Ignoring duplicate PV RLOhdDURbD7uK2La3MDK2olkP0BF2Tu7 on /dev/sdb - using dm /dev/mapper/mpath0 Closed /dev/sdb Opened /dev/sdc RO O_DIRECT the sd names shouldn't even be seen. from the output of vgscan -vvv you should see something like this: /dev/ram15: No label detected Closed /dev/ram15 /dev/sdc: Skipping (regex) /dev/sdc1: Skipping (regex) Change your filter to what's documented in the multipath guide. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/multipath-devices.html #multipath-devices-in-logical-volumes filter = [ r/block/, r/disk/, r/sd.*/, a/.*/ ] Run vgscan -vvv after to verify, those pvdisplay errors should also go away. If you want it to be extra quiet, you can filter out ram devices too, here's mine on an hp server with the following filter. filter = [ r/block/, r/ram.*/, r/disk/, r/cciss/, r/sd.*/, a/.*/ ] The thing to know about sd names is that they are not deterministic, ever, so to keep sda as part of your vg set you'll need to determine it's unique udev name and filter that in. Looking back at your original filter, I can see that it's wrong now. # By default we accept every block device: filter = [ a/.*/, r|/dev/sd[b-z]| ] It should be # By default we accept every block device: filter = [ a/.*/, r/sd.[b-z]/ ] Again, if you hotplug sda, or reverse scan your busses, this ceases filter accurately, use the unique udev names. Beyond that, everything looks good, all block devices are responding, that are left, after failover. I tested failover using lvm + xfs using multipath 0.4.8 with both multibus and priority grouping, I could not reproduce the issue. Load test was iozone -a in a loop. I just realized, you didn't describe what load these were under during the failure, or how many failovers are required to reach the fault. You're dmtables look sane. -0 1048576000 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 round-robin 0 4 1 8:64 1000 8:16 1000 8:96 1000 8:160 1000 +0 1048576000 multipath 1 queue_if_no_path 0 1 1 round-robin 0 2 1 8:64 1000 8:16 1000 You can tell that it's all in one group via the single round-robin directive, which marks the beginning of all paths in that group, clearly you went from 4 - 2. The fact that the map is updated at all means multipathd did it's job. multipathd's main job is the patch checking, and managing the policy we define for those paths by updating the dm tables as needed. DM then simply operates on what it has for a table definition and keeps chugging along until that table changes. back to the original multipathd output you provide DM_STATE=active and DM_SUSPENDED=0, that map was never deactivated. I tried pushing my queue up to 1000 from 128 for rr_min_io, no change. If it's not the lvm filter then it's something else very subtle. Unless you're comfortable with upgrading to multipath 0.4.9 via apt pinning (done this before with lucid, very stable, and better) as I described in comment #16, the only way we'll get to the bottom of this is if we're hands on; which necessitates an Ubuntu Advantage agreement. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1020436 Title: Cannot read superblock after FC multipath failover To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1020436/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1030040] Re: multipath-tools create duplicate device
Hmm, A reproduction case is going to be necessary, there are some
weird things going on in syslog.2 which I'm unfamiliar with. Unfortunately,
I don't have access to a symmetrix either. I really need to have multipathd
running
in the foreground, with full logging to a file, to catch what went down.
From 7/27/12 00:38:48 -- 00:38:58 I just see lines and lines of this:
Jul 27 00:38:58 Linux51 multipathd: mpath12: sdm - emc_clariion_checker:
Logical Unit is unbound or LUNZ
For about every block device, this messages means the path is down. It's safety
against issuing IO
to a LUNZ which will block forever.
libmultipath/checkers/emc_clariion.c
if ( /* LUN should at least be bound somewhere and not be LUNZ */
sense_buffer[4] == 0x00) {
MSG(c, emc_clariion_checker: Logical Unit is unbound
or LUNZ);
return PATH_DOWN;
}
After a few filters...
Jul 27 05:45:36 Linux51 kernel: [188724.191711] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access
DGC LUNZ 0532 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4

DGC LUNZ 0532 PQ: 0 ANSI: 4
ok, that's 4, but there were dozens in the logs, which means the rest
were unbound.
Then there's this,
Jul 27 00:39:49 Linux51 udevd[26799]: timeout '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p
/dev/dm-53'
Jul 27 00:39:49 Linux51 udevd[26794]: timeout '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p

...
Something is off, if multipath did create two maps to the same device I suspect
it to be a victim
of these path availability issues.

That can't be right.

[Bug 1057054] Re: poor performance after upgrade to Precise
That's never how it works. multipath has no kernel module loading ability. Would make a nice feature though. I admit that discovering which dh is the necessary one is a bit arcane and not well documented anywhere. The best practice here is to load the necessary device handler into your initrd so it's attached at the same time the SD devices are initially discovered. You still need to have this module loaded to provision additional luns at runtime and not have their performance plummet. Also, I discovered a typo in the multipath documentation. https://bugs.launchpad.net/serverguide/+bug/1057071 Had that worked to begin with, you would have never encountered this issue in the first place. Closing this issue as Invalid as it's not a bug.

[Bug 1057054] Re: poor performance after upgrade to Precise
There is no feature, that has ever existed, that has the capacity to *at runtime* examine all attached disks, and cross reference their SCSI INQUIRY data to a table of available device handlers. That table does not exist, if it did, it would be miserable to maintain. I checked the udev rules and initramfs scripts from lucid - precise. We never loaded dh modules automatically. The multipath C code has no facility to modprobe or insmod anything. So the only logical conclusion left is that the module was loaded without your knowledge, which means your configuration as it was would never survive a reboot. If that's not true, and you can reproduce that, I would be interested to see it. However, even if I had the answer, that doesn't completely make up for a complete lack of vendor participation in qualifying your SAN with our operating [1]. We cannot be expected to regression test every SAN in creation and rely on users like you (or vendors) to test and stay engaged. Please contact your vendor expressing support for official Ubuntu support for your SAN multipath-tools is supported by the Community, not Canonical, I volunteer to maintain it. That multipath section in the server guide? I wrote it with the next precise LTS as the deadline, months of effort. multipath as a whole is light years better than it was in lucid, or ever for that matter (many helped). I'm not disagreeing with you that things are missing and there's certainly room for improvement. You've pointed out several issues, like the dialog box,man page etc, that's all good stuff, please file a separate bug for each so we can track them. It's simply a matter of triage and bandwidth, a good multipath bug can soak weeks of time, so configuration polish like you mentioned falls to the way side. However, that sort of work is low hanging fruit, and doesn't require kernel storage engineer with years of experience to accomplish. Contributions are most certainly welcome. FYI, there really isn't a hard spec for multipath.conf, it actually functions a lot like YAML where keywords are globbed, the values integrated and override the defaults. There's no one place in the code where you can go and discover this is how config works, it's scattered everywhere which makes creating regression tests prohibitive if not practically impossible. 1. The implication is that multipath may have changed so dramatically from 0.4.8 to 0.4.9 that the scsi_dh_rdac driver may not have been as necessary. There's no way we could have caught that on code review, testing was required. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1057054 Title: poor performance after upgrade to Precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/1057054/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1057054] Re: poor performance after upgrade to Precise
Hmm, that's interesting, does that mean that after reboot scsi_dh_rdac is
loaded?
Please verify.
Yes, it is available with the lucid kernel. Also note that if you were to
reference
your vendor documentation, it would probably recommend that you load
rdac driver (been around for a long time actually).
NOTE: multipath is basically the same on every distro, so instructions for RH
provided by your vendor are just as good for Ubuntu etc. However kernels
change frequently which is why vendors and others need to be involved.
Let's assume that rdac is never loaded and life is good on lucid. That leaves
multipath itself and the Linux kernel, both of which have jumped dramatically
between lucid and precise. Since there's no real regression tests for HW SAN,
and
the vendors aren't pitching in, it's easily possible that something weird
like this could occur.
It's my opinion that if you're using ALUA, it's up to you to determine whether
an additional device handler is necessary. What may have happened is multipath
in lucid was biasing the primary storage controller and forcing a trespass
unbenounced to you. This would have made ALUA irrelevant and ping ponged your
luns behind the RAID for a period of time, it also means you weren't using both
your
storage processors like you intended. That would have been a bonafide bug in
lucid.
It's likely that it was rectified in precise considering the outcome. Going
back and
finding it is an academic exercise as no matter what I find, it'll probably
break
lucid. RDAC must be loaded.
[ALUA architecture example]
http://virtualgeek.typepad.com/virtual_geek/2009/09/a-couple-important-alua-and-srm-notes.html
As for the kernel, it does what it's told, something with that horrendous an
impact would have likely impacted your non-san disks as well, if it affected
only
one that would be double weird :) So it likely comes down to how the IO was
queued
to begin with, and multipathd is responsible for that.
Between the two MP versions, your SAN actually got a codified config, meaning
you don't need to provide your own if you don't want to, it's built in. 0.4.8
didn't
have this.
[libmultipath/hwtable.c]
{
/* DELL MD3000 */
.vendor= DELL,
.product = MD3000,
.getuid= DEFAULT_GETUID,
.features = 2 pg_init_retries 50,
.hwhandler = 1 rdac,
.selector = DEFAULT_SELECTOR,
.pgpolicy = GROUP_BY_PRIO,
.pgfailback= -FAILBACK_IMMEDIATE,
.rr_weight = RR_WEIGHT_NONE,
.no_path_retry = 15,
.minio = DEFAULT_MINIO,
.checker_name = RDAC,
.prio_name = PRIO_RDAC,
.prio_args = NULL,
},
Your config is overridding any member you defined, the rest are coming through,
like
minio.
BTW you might wish to double check exactly what your SAN can do. Active/Active
isn't what it used to be and is really dual active.

[Bug 1057054] Re: poor performance after upgrade to Precise
Then we might have a distro bug here, which is weird as I've done hundreds of
SAN installs with lucid and have had to manage the scsi_dh modules everytime.
So on your lucid system, /etc/initramfs-tools/modules should be empty
except for the commented out examples.
The next thing to check is the initram disks themselves, assuming there's no
directives in the previous config file, the presence of the scsi_dh kos in
the initrd would indicate that they were be globbed in by another
initramfs helper.
Actually...

lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_emc.ko
64508 blocks
OK, I'm surprised :)
In my 2.6.32 initrd I find:
root@nashira:~/2.6.32# cat conf/modules
scsi_dh_alua
which I suppose prompts my device handler to be installed. Which is driven
by 'modules' and 'modules.d' in /usr/share/initramfs-tools. So the modules
apparently have always been there, thanks to this hook script.
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions
scsi)
copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/scsi
for x in mptfc mptsas mptscsih mptspi zfcp; do
manual_add_modules ${x}
done
;;
Which is how the scsi_dh_* kos got on the initramfs, but that doesn't
explain how it was loaded. That directive had to come from somewhere,
so it's either already in your /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules|modules.d
or it's in your /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.d|modules and you missed it.
*something* has to be prompting it's inclusion.
What's the output of, as root?
grep -Rl scsi_dh /etc /usr/share/initramfs-tools/

[Bug 1057054] Re: poor performance after upgrade to Precise
Then the only possible actors left are the actual initramdisk contents e.g. zcat initrd | cpio -id and examine all the scripts (init, conf/modules) to determine how it could be loaded. The absence of the module reference in all of /etc and /usr/share/initramfs-tools/ tell me that whatever is loading that module is doing so as a side effect or an administration artifact e.g. someone wrote a udev rule and forgot. Another possible source and this is also way out in left field is if modules.dep was compromised and scsi_sh_rdac was added as dependency of another module and thus loaded indirectly. root@nashira:/lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic# grep scsi_dh modules* modules.builtin:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh.ko modules.dep:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_rdac.ko: modules.dep:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_hp_sw.ko: modules.dep:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_emc.ko: modules.dep:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_alua.ko: Binary file modules.dep.bin matches modules.order:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_rdac.ko modules.order:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_hp_sw.ko modules.order:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_emc.ko modules.order:kernel/drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_alua.ko root@nashira:/lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic# vim modules.dep root@nashira:/lib/modules/2.6.32-41-generic# vim modules.builtin Fine here. concerning boot probe, scsi discovery is asymmetric, there's no expectation of order.

Excellent, you're still interested. I've got a fix for you to try.
Attached is a custom version of mpath_prio_netapp that should
not generate any more change events for you. Please post
for comparison that this new version returns the same data
as the old one.
move the old mpath_prio_netapp to /sbin/mpath_prio_netapp.old
cp the new one into sbin.
post the results of the following script
(adjust device range accordingly)
for i in sd[a-z]; do /sbin/mpath_prio_netapp.old $i; done
for i in sd[a-z]; do /sbin/mpath_prio_netapp $i; done
Verify that the same values are returned from each run,
and update the bug with your results.
Once you verify that the updated prio checker no longer
generates change events, start up multipathd again and
verify that this continues to be true. Thanks!

[Bug 644489] Re: constantly changes /dev/disk/by-id/{scsi, wwn}-* LUN symlinks with multipathing
I can understand that. Attached is a debdiff of the updated package.
I must stress that may not be the final form of the solution. I'm
chatting with Douglas Gilbert (sg io maintainer) now about this.
So far it appears that using an SD device as the target for sg io
can have unintended side effects, like the ones we've been observing.
If the corresponding SG device was used to begin with, this problem
would have never occurred.
See for yourself, mpath_prio_netapp /dev/sg0
In the meanwhile, this patch adjusts the open flag s.t. the side effect
no longer occurs. What's annoying is the upstream multipath (0.4.9) is
still using SD devices for this work but they did change all of their
open flags to O_RDONLY. Which leads me to believe they worked around
this side effect too, perhaps unaware of the fact that they were causing
these events to begin with by using sd devices by default.
You can simply build the mpath_prio_netapp straight from
path_priority/pp_netapp/ assuming build deps are met.

[Bug 644489] Re: constantly changes /dev/disk/by-id/{scsi, wwn}-* LUN symlinks with multipathing
After chatting with Douglas Gilbert on this I know have a better
understanding of the problem. This very issue has been raised by
him before on linux-scsi and it never saw final resolution.
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-scsi/2010/2/15/6778453
When the file descriptor to the SD device is closed, the change
event occurs, presumably because it was opened with O_RDRW
to begin with, though nothing actually changed.
By changing that flag to O_RDONLY, no udev events are generated
when the fd closes. It doesn't address the root cause but it's
sufficient to get us unjammed safely while we continue to work
on a better solution. That solution may be adjusting the multipath
priority checkers to use the corresponding sg devices when
presented with an sd device. Either way, there's more work to do.
Since all the priority checkers amount to different degrees of
scsi inquiry, and vendor specific san interrogation commands. I
believe we're safe with the O_RDONLY approach. All data
direction flags for sg io in this case are SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV
or SG_DXFER_NONE.

[Bug 824790] Re: IBM DS3400 Will Not Bring Up Second Path
So the paths not showing up with a config file error, a few well
placed regexp and a proper blacklist to filter out the internal disks
solved that. Also added scsi_dh_rdac to initial ramdisk. Now the paths
are up, and stay up. However when we tried testing failover using
a scsi delete of the primary member. The secondary never became
active.
We asked the customer to check with any additional SAN side
config, like automatic lun transfer, is necessary. Depending on how
that turns it we may actually have a real failover bug.
Working multipath config, taken almost verbatim from the IBM
documentation: Section 5-10.

[Bug 641151] Re: multipath flush always returns 1
SRU Justification: * During development where a customer is aiming to automate storage provisioning that includes a multipath component. Politely tearing down the dm table before physically removing the device is part of best practices for removing devices at runtime. Since multipath -f/-F always returns 1, the customer assumed that the return code was irrelevant and continued with device removal. In the cases where DM really wasn't finished flushing the outstanding I/O, a kernel crash occurred, since the customer essentially tore the backing store out from under multipath while there was pending I/O. All based on the faulty return value of multipath -f/-F. * The patch is pulled from upstream, with only minor modification to suit our older codebase. We're simply forwarding the return value from this dm table operation instead of dropping it. * Regression possibility is low, and the corrected return behavior may prevent further unnecessary kernel triage in the future. * TEST CASE: Make a multipath device busy, flush it, and immediately remove it, physically. * Inadvertent regression potential: None, if anything it'll improve best practices. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641151 Title: multipath flush always returns 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/multipath-tools/+bug/641151/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

stops working.

[Bug 1233831] Re: maas doesn't return zookeeper instances for newly provision environment
@John, I don't dispute that the tools aren't there, but I'm starting to think
juju-core
isn't able to find it.
I created a saucy VM to try and drive this MAAS, it still won't find the
arm tools.
@John (anyone), have you actually seen this work?

[Bug 690387] [NEW] udev block naming breaks failover and sd kref release cycle
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: multipath-tools This was exposed on the Intel IMS SAN which is an ODM'd Promise Vtrak variant on 10.04 server. The SAN has Active/Standby capabilities and is configured for failover. It probably affects other SANs too. Setup: multipath'd SAN consisting of SD block devices. Symptoms: On failover, multipath isn't gettng the right signals to tear down the defunct path. This was traced down to the fact that the path UDEV was presenting to multipath was different from what it was expecting. It simply dropped the request to gracefully remove the device, and instead responded to the SCSI mid-layer SD IO state change, SDEV_CANCEL/DEL which puts the device offline. Problem is device mapper still has an handle on the SD device, as can be seen from /sys/block/dm-x/slaves, and as a result, scsi_target_destroy is never called. The outward symptom of this is the SD suffix is not recycled because of course the previous reference never dropped. Solution: A fix was developed independently of upstream by Serge Hallyn, later it was found that it was fixed upstream, in 2008. The patch is: commit 7fa7affc3d23dd9dc906804d22a61144bca9f9b9 Author: Benjamin Marzinski bmarz...@redhat.com Date: Thu Dec 11 16:03:28 2008 -0600 Fix for uevent devpath handling This is necessary to make uevents work on fedora, since devpath appears as something like: '/devices/pci:00/:00:0a.0/:06:00.0/host11/rport-11:0-1/target11:0:1/11:0:1:0/block/s It simply strips off the everything up to the /block. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski bmarz...@redhat.com It integrates simply and can be found in PPAs here: ppa:peter-petrakis/storage ** Affects: multipath-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: High Assignee: Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn) Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to multipath-tools in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/690387 Title: udev block naming breaks failover and sd kref release cycle -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
