resolve split brain situation in ceph cluster

Hi,

I need some help to fix a broken cluster. I think we broke the cluster, but I want to know your opinion and if you see a possibility to recover it.

Let me explain what happend.

We have a cluster (Version 0.94.9) in two datacenters (A and B). In each 12 nodes á 60 ODSs. In A we have 3 monitor nodes and in B  2. The crushrule and replication factor forces two replicas in each datacenter.

We write objects via librados in the cluster. The objects are immutable, so they are either present or absent.

In this cluster we tested what happens if datacenter A will fail and we need to bring up the cluster in B by creating a monitor quorum in B. We did this by cut off the network connection betwenn the two datacenters. The OSDs from DC B went down like expected. Now we removed the mon Nodes from the monmap in B (by extracting it offline and edit it). Our clients wrote now data in both independent clusterparts before we stopped the mons in A. (YES I know. This is a really bad thing).

Now we try to join the two sides again. But so far without success.

Only the OSDs in B are running. The OSDs in A started but the OSDs stay down. In the mon log we see a lot of „...(leader).pg v3513957 ignoring stats from non-active osd“ alerts.

We see, that the current osdmap epoch in the running cluster is „28873“. In the OSDs in A the epoch is „29003“. We assume that this is the reason why the OSDs won't to jump in.


BTW: This is only a testcluster, so no important data are harmed.


Regards
Manuel
