Hi,I have some issues with hosted engine status. oVirt hosts think that hosted engine is down because it seems that hosts can't write to hosted-engine.lockspace due to glusterfs issues (or at least I think so). Here's the output of vm-status: # hosted-engine --vm-status --== Host 1 status ==-- Status up-to-date : False Hostname : 10.0.200.102 Host ID : 1 Engine status : unknown stale-data Score : 2400 Local maintenance : False Host timestamp : 1397035677 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=1397035677 (Wed Apr 9 11:27:57 2014) host-id=1 score=2400 maintenance=False state=EngineUp --== Host 2 status ==-- Status up-to-date : True Hostname : 10.0.200.101 Host ID : 2 Engine status : {'reason': 'vm not running on this host', 'health': 'bad', 'vm': 'down', 'detail': 'unknown'} Score : 0 Local maintenance : False Host timestamp : 1397464031 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=1397464031 (Mon Apr 14 10:27:11 2014) host-id=2 score=0 maintenance=False state=EngineUnexpectedlyDown timeout=Mon Apr 14 10:35:05 2014 oVirt engine is sending me 2 emails every 10 minutes with the following subjects: - ovirt-hosted-engine state transition EngineDown-EngineStart - ovirt-hosted-engine state transition EngineStart-EngineUp In oVirt webadmin I can see the following message: VM HostedEngine is down. Exit message: internal error Failed to acquire lock: error -243. These messages are really annoying as oVirt isn't doing anything with hosted engine - I have an uptime of 9 days in my engine vm. So my questions are now: Is it intended to send out these messages and detect that ovirt engine is down (which is false anyway), but not to restart the vm? How can I disable notifications? I'm planning to write a Nagios plugin which parses the output of hosted-engine --vm-status and only Nagios should notify me, not hosted-engine script. Is is possible or planned to make the whole ha feature optional? I really really really hate cluster software as it causes more troubles then standalone machines and in my case the hosted-engine ha feature really causes troubles (and I didn't had a hardware or network outage yet only issues with hosted-engine ha agent). I don't need any ha feature for hosted engine. I just want to run engine virtualized on oVirt and if engine vm fails (e.g. because of issues with a host) I'll restart it on another node. Thanks, René
I'm pretty sure we removed hosted-engine on gluster due to concerns around the locking issues.
is the gluster configured with quorum to avoid split brains? _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
