Hello, Not sure it is the same issue, but we have had a "major" issue recently in our production system when removing a ISCSI volume from oVirt, and then removing it from SAN. The issue being that each host was still trying to access regularly to the SAN volume in spite of not being completely removed from oVirt. This led to an massive increase of error logs, which filled completely /var/log partition, which snowballed into crashing vdsm and other nasty consequences.
Anyway, the solution was to manually logout from SAN (in each host) with iscsiadm and manually remove iscsi targets (again in each host). It was not difficult once the problem was found because currently we only have 3 hosts in this cluster, but I'm wondering what would happen if we had hundreds of hosts ? Maybe I'm being naive but shouldn't this be "oVirt job" ? Is there a RFE still waiting to be included on this subject or should I write one ? cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 [email protected] www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nir Soffer" <[email protected]> To: "Gianluca Cecchi" <[email protected]>, "Adam Litke" <[email protected]> Cc: "users" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2017 6:32:18 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] best way to remove SAN lun On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 7:25 PM, Gianluca Cecchi <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Feb 21, 2017 at 6:10 PM, Nir Soffer <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> This is caused by active lvs on the remove storage domains that were not >> deactivated during the removal.

I think we should have a script doing all these steps.
