Hi Luca, great idea!

But a dd is more than a lvremove...

But as well it could mean that the deploy script may look for a particular vg which stays present after the dd. Rebooting forces the vgscan not to find this particular vg...

So vgremove is really the good way to clean up a lun, and it should be the official way into the admin guide

Hi all,

I tried to install the Hosted-Engine on a FC lun, and  the first time, it 
failed at the end because of a sanlock issue.
So I fixed it and the re-deoployed from scratch until this new issue
[ ERROR ] Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Physical 
device initialization failed. Please check that the device is empty and accessible by the 
host.]". HTTP response code is 400.

Before, I found that the lun [2] was used:

[ INFO  ] ok: [localhost]
           The following luns have been found on the requested target:
               [1]    36006016039a142001792ac5b1b9e513a    1024GiB    DGC    
VRAID
                   status: free, paths: 8 active

               [2]    36006016039a142006755b25b7505d26b    100GiB    DGC    
VRAID
                   status: used, paths: 8 active

So it was the good explanation for the failure.

Following the admin guide, I cleaned up the lun using

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/36006016039a142006755b25b7505d26b bs=1M 
count=200 oflag=direct

And re-deployed it until it complains the device was not empty despite of before. The 
script still reported that the status of the lun was "used"

Finally, I rebooted the host, and that time the script considered the lun 
status as free.

So there is somewhere a bit of code into the ansible script that keeps the old 
status of the lun before dd, until rebooting.

Hello,

for removing a volume i usually disable the logical volume (vgremove)
and then the physical volume (pvremove). At this point i have the
device marked as clean.

Luca
