[ovirt-users] Re: storage high latency, sanlock errors, cluster instability
Usually I would blacklist the Gluster devices by creating the necessary stanzas in /etc/multipath/conf.d/blacklist.conf This way you will keep the situation simple. For your problem, it's hard to odentify the problem based on the e-mails.What are your symptoms ? To debug GlusterFS, it is good to start from the brick logs (/var/log/gluster/bricks) and the current heal status. On a 3-way replica volume heals should be resolved by GlusterFS - if not, there is a bug.

The problem I have is, that I don't know where is the root of this problem and if recreating would fix the issue in longer terms.

I still have the same problems, but it look like that the errors comes a bit less often. I'm starting now to migrate the disk images to a NFS storage. When there is no other way, I would recreate the glusterFS cluster. The problem I have is, that I don't know where is the root of this problem and if recreating would fix the issue in longer terms.

This procedure I have done on all 3 nodes. When use_devicesfile (default in 4.5) is enabled, lvm filter is not used. During installation the old lvm filter is removed. Can you share more info on why it does not work for you? The problem was, that the node could not mount the gluster volumes anymore and ended up in emergency mode. - output of lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 1.8T 0 disk `-XA1920LE10063_HKS028AV 253:0 0 1.8T 0 mpath |-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda_tmeta 253:16 0 9G 0 lvm | `-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda-tpool 253:18 0 1.7T 0 lvm | |-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda 253:19 0 1.7T 1 lvm | |-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_lv_data 253:20 0 100G 0 lvm /gluster_bricks/data | `-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_lv_vmstore 253:21 0 1.6T 0 lvm /gluster_bricks/vmstore `-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda_tdata 253:17 0 1.7T 0 lvm `-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda-tpool 253:18 0 1.7T 0 lvm |-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda 253:19 0 1.7T 1 lvm |-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_lv_data 253:20 0 100G 0 lvm /gluster_bricks/data `-gluster_vg_sda-gluster_lv_vmstore 253:21 0 1.6T 0 lvm /gluster_bricks/vmstore sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom nvme0n1 259:0 0 238.5G 0 disk |-nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 1G 0 part /boot |-nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 134G 0 part | |-onn-pool00_tmeta 253:1 0 1G 0 lvm | | `-onn-pool00-tpool 253:3 0 87G 0 lvm | | |-onn-ovirt--node--ng--4.5.0.2--0.20220513.0+1 253:4 0 50G 0 lvm / | | |-onn-pool00 253:7 0 87G 1 lvm | | |-onn-home 253:8 0 1G 0 lvm /home | | |-onn-tmp 253:9 0 1G 0 lvm /tmp | | |-onn-var 253:10 0 15G 0 lvm /var | | |-onn-var_crash 253:11 0 10G 0 lvm /var/crash | | |-onn-var_log 253:12 0 8G 0 lvm /var/log | | |-onn-var_log_audit 253:13 0 2G 0 lvm /var/log/audit | | |-onn-ovirt--node--ng--4.5.0.1--0.20220511.0+1 253:14 0 50G 0 lvm | | `-onn-var_tmp 253:15 0 10G 0 lvm /var/tmp | |-onn-pool00_tdata 253:2 0 87G 0 lvm | | `-onn-pool00-tpool 253:3 0 87G 0 lvm | | |-onn-ovirt--node--ng--4.5.0.2--0.20220513.0+1 253:4 0 50G 0 lvm / | | |-onn-pool00 253:7 0 87G 1 lvm | | |-onn-home 253:8 0 1G 0 lvm /home | | |-onn-tmp 253:9 0 1G 0 lvm /tmp | | |-onn-var 253:10 0 15G 0 lvm /var | | |-onn-var_crash 253:11 0 10G 0 lvm /var/crash | | |-onn-var_log 253:12 0 8G 0 lvm /var/log | | |-onn-var_log_audit 253:13 0 2G 0 lvm /var/log/audit | | |-onn-ovirt--node--ng--4.5.0.1--0.20220511.0+1 253:14 0 50G 0 lvm | | `-onn-var_tmp 253:15 0 10G 0 lvm /var/tmp | `-onn-swap 253:5 0 20G 0 lvm [SWAP] `-nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 95G 0 part `-gluster_vg_nvme0n1p3-gluster_lv_engine 253:6 0 94G 0 lvm /gluster_bricks/engine - The old lvm filter used, and why it was needed filter = ["a|^/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-Nn7tZl-TFdY-BujO-VZG5-EaGW-5YFd-Lo5pwa$|", "a|^/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-Wcbxnx-2RhC-s1Re-s148-nLj9-Tr3f-jj4VvE$|", "a|^/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-lX51wm-H7V4-3CTn-qYob-Rkpx-Tptd-t94jNL$|", "r|.*|"] I don't remember exactly any more why it was needed, but without the node was not working correctly.

Can you share more info on why it does not work for you? - output of lsblk - The old lvm filter used, and why it was needed - output of vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter If using lvm devices does not work for you, you can enable the lvm filter in vdsm configuration by adding a drop-in file: $ cat /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf.d/99-local.conf [lvm] config_method = filter And run: vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to configure the lvm filter in the best way for vdsm. If this does not create the right filter we would like to know why, but in general you should use lvm devices since it avoids the trouble of maintaining the filter and dealing with upgrades and user edited lvm filter. If you disable use_devicesfile, the next vdsm upgrade will enable it back unless you change the configuration. Also even if you disable use_devicesfile in lvm.conf, vdsm still use --devices instead of filter when running lvm commands, and lvm commands run by vdsm ignore your lvm filter since the --devices option overrides the system settings. ... > I notice some unsync volume warning, but because I had this in the past to, > after upgrading, I though after some time they will disappear.
