Ok, I thought I was doing something wrong yesterday and just
tore down my 3-node cluster with the hosted engine and started
rebuilding.  I was seeing essentially the same thing, a score of
0 on the VMs not running the engine, it wouldn't allow migration of
the hosted engine.   I played with all things related to setting
maintenance and rebooting hosts, nothing brought them up to a
point where I could migrate the hosted engine.

I thought it was related to ovirt messing up when deploying the
other hosts (I told it not to modify the firewall that I disabled,
but the deploy process forcibly reenabled the firewall which gluster
really didn't like).  Now after reading this it appears my assumption
may be false.

Previously a 2-node cluster I had worked fine, but I wanted to
go to 3-nodes so I could enable quorum on gluster to not risk
split-brain issues.

I'm really having a hard time finding out why it's happening..

If I set the cluster to global for a minute or two, the scores will
reset back to 2400. Set maintenance mode to none, and all will be fine
until a migration occurs. It seems it tries to migrate, fails and sets
the score to 0 permanently rather than the 10? minutes mentioned in
one of the ovirt slides.

When I have two hosts, it's score 0 only when a migration occurs.
(Just on the host which doesn't have engine up). The score 0 only
happens when it's tried to migrate when I set the host to local
maintenance. Migrating the VM from the UI has worked quite a few
times, but it's recently started to fail.

When I have three hosts, after 5~ mintues of them all up the score
will hit 0 on the hosts not running the VMs. It doesn't even have to
attempt to migrate before the score goes to 0. Stopping the ha agent
on one host, and "resetting" it with the global maintenance method
brings it back to the 2 host scenario above.

I may move on and just go back to a standalone engine as this is not
getting very much luck..

But I'm puzzled at how you can reproduce the bug, all was well on my setup
before I've stated manual migration of the engine's vm. Even auto migration
worked before that (tested it). Does it just happen without any procedure on
the engine itself? Is the score 0 for just one node, or two of three of
them?

Ivan, was this also the case with your setup? Engine couldn't access
storage domain?

Interesting, my storage network is a L2 only and doesn't run on the
ovirtmgmt (which is the only thing HostedEngine sees) but I've only
seen this issue when running ctdb in front of my NFS server. I
previously was using localhost as all my hosts had the nfs server on
it (gluster).

If you know another steps to reproduce this error, without blocking
connection to storage it also can be wonderful if you can provide them.
Thanks

I just ran a few extra tests, I had a 2 host, hosted-engine running
for a day. They both had a score of 2400. Migrated the VM through the
UI multiple times, all worked fine. I then added the third host, and
that's when it all fell to pieces.
Other two hosts have a score of 0 now.

I'm also curious, in the BZ there's a note about:

where engine-vm block connection to storage domain(via iptables -I
INPUT -s sd_ip -j DROP)

What's the purpose for that?

I've even tried a gluster mount + nfs server on top of that, and the
same issue has come back.

It was pure NFS on a NAS device. They all had different ids (had no

Thanks Jirka.

I've seen that problem in other threads, the common denominator was
"nfs
on top of gluster". So if you have this setup, then it's a known
problem. Or
you should double check if you hosts have different ids otherwise
they would
be trying to acquire the same lock.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the in depth reply.

I've only seen this happen twice, and only after I added a third
host
to the HA cluster. I wonder if that's the root problem.

Have you seen this happen on all your installs or only just after
your
manual migration? It's a little frustrating this is happening as I
was
hoping to get this into a production environment. It was all
working
except that log message :(

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

this is something that I saw in my logs too, first on one node
and then
on
the other three. When that happend on all four of them, engine
was
corrupted
beyond repair.

First of all, I think that message is saying that sanlock can't
get a
lock
on the shared storage that you defined for the hostedengine
during
installation. I got this error when I've tried to manually
migrate the
hosted engine. There is an unresolved bug there and I think it's
related
to
this one:

[Bug 1093366 - Migration of hosted-engine vm put target host
score to
zero]
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1093366

This is a blocker bug (or should be) for the selfhostedengine
and, from
my
own experience with it, shouldn't be used in the production
enviroment
(not
untill it's fixed).

Nothing that I've done couldn't fix the fact that the score for
the
target
node was Zero, tried to reinstall the node, reboot the node,
restarted
several services, tailed a tons of logs etc but to no avail. When
only
one
node was left (that was actually running the hosted engine), I
brought
the
engine's vm down gracefully (hosted-engine --vm-shutdown I
belive) and
after
that, when I've tried to start the vm - it wouldn't load. Running
VNC
showed
that the filesystem inside the vm was corrupted and when I ran
fsck and
finally started up - it was too badly damaged. I succeded to
start the
engine itself (after repairing postgresql service that wouldn't
want to
start) but the database was damaged enough and acted pretty weird
(showed
that storage domains were down but the vm's were running fine
etc).
Lucky
me, I had already exported all of the VM's on the first sign of
trouble
and
then installed ovirt-engine on the dedicated server and attached
the
export
domain.

So while really a usefull feature, and it's working (for the most
part
ie,
automatic migration works), manually migrating VM with the
hosted-engine
will lead to troubles.

I hope that my experience with it, will be of use to you. It
happened to
me
two weeks ago, ovirt-engine was current (3.4.1) and there was no
fix
available.

Regards,

Ivan

It also appears to occur on the other hosts in the cluster,
except the
host which is running the hosted-engine. So right now 3 servers,
it
shows up twice in the engine UI.

The engine VM continues to run peacefully, without any issues on
the
host which doesn't have that error.

Any ideas?
