Secondary disk unattached if guest unresponsive and killed with 'virsh destroy'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a very strange issue that has plagued our KVM-based hypervisor infrastructure. 

Environment:
- All EL7-based libvirt releases since EL7.0
- Fully patched EL7-based KVM guest on a fully patched EL7-based KVM host.
- Secondary disk attached via 'virsh attach-device guest /vm/guest-with-secondary-disk-01/disk2.xml --persistent' (note --persistent flag here)

Problem Description:
- Guest becomes unresponsive/hangs due to issue on guest. Typically the scenario is that PID1 hangs or goes into a bad state due to a misbehaving application.
- Before virsh destroy, 'virsh dumpxml guest | grep vd[ab]' returns the expected filesystems.
- Guest is destroyed from the hypervisor via 'virsh destroy guest'. 
- With guest still powered off, 'virsh dumpxml guest | grep vd[ab]' only shows 'vda'. 'vdb' now unattached.
- To fix, requires re-run of 'virsh attach-device guest guest-with-secondary-disk-01/disk2.xml --persistent'

Expected Behavior:
- 'virsh destroy guest' does not drop the secondary disk attached to the guest if the node is in a hung state.

Other notes:
- If guest is not in a hung state, 'virsh destroy' does not drop the secondary disk.
- 'virsh reset guest' does not exhibit the same behavior when guest is hung - vdb remains attached.
- No logs produced in /var/log/libvirt indicating an issue, even with debug logging enabled.

Is there any obvious I'm missing? Is this expected behavior?
