Re: RBD image has no active watchers while OpenStack KVM VM is running

We've seen this.  Our environment isn't identical though, we use oVirt and connect to ceph (11.2.1) via cinder (9.2.1), but it's so very rare that we've never had any luck in pin pointing it and have a lot less VMs, <300.

| 
| $ rbd status volumes/volume-79773f2e-1f40-4eca-b9f0-953fa8d83086
| 
| 'Watchers: none'

| 
| In the meantime the cluster was already upgraded to 10.2.10
| 
| Looking further I also found a Compute node with 10.2.10 installed which also

| 
| Restarting or live migrating the VM to a different host resolves this issue.
|

|
