Considerations about fence_virtd with fence_xvm based guests

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

 



Hello,
I have 2 x rh el 6.0 hosts (rhev1 and rhev2) where I enabled ha and
resilient storage beta channels.
I'm testing from the Beta HA Addon channel the checkpoint backend
This necessary because I want to test managing clusters of rh el 5
guests (where for example I would keep one guest restricted to the
first host and the other one to the another host).
fence_virtd package is in 6.0 official
fence-virtd-checkpoint that I want to use is instead only in beta channels

I see from release notes that probably this feature, that is a tech
preview right now, could become officially supported in upcoming rh el
6.1.
the 2 guests (vorastud1 and vorastud2) compose a rh el 5.6 based cluster
I configured fence-virtd in hosts with its default config using
multicast listener and checkpoint backend
(btw: I had to manually run "chkconfig --add fence_virtd" ... donna if
it is intended due to testing purposes)

Inside the guests I configured the fence_xvm provided by rh el 5.6

Some notes of mine, to share doubts and solutions, if possible:

- the hosts use a bridged device brvlan66 configured with vlan over bonding:
bond0 --> bond0.66 --> brvlan66
(there is a bug opened so far on this config, so at the moment I
ifdown one of the interfaces composing the bond device)

- the hosts use also a bridged device brvlan65 configured with vlan
over bonding on the same bond0:
bond0 --> bond0.65 --> brvlan65

- the guests are configured with production over brvlan66 and cluster
over brvlan65

- To have multicast traffic used by guests' fencing go thorough, I
have to put this rule in /etc/sysconfig/iptables of hosts:
-I INPUT -d 225.0.0.12 -j ACCEPT

I initially tried to log the traffic and got this:
Mar 24 11:04:57 rhev1 kernel: IN=brvlan66 OUT=
MAC=01:00:5e:00:00:0c:00:1e:79:2c:e2:88:08:00 SRC=10.192.15.65
DST=225.0.0.12 LEN=32 TOS=0x00 PREC=0xC0 TTL=1 ID=35426 PROTO=2

So I attempt
-I INPUT -m physdev --physdev-in brvlan66 -d 225.0.0.12  -j ACCEPT
but this doesn't work (it doesn't either log....)

So one question is what would be a more restrictive rule to put?

- considering my guests' cluster nodes
vorastud1==vnode02
vorastud2==vnode01
(it's weird because it is a duplicate of an existing so configured one ;-)

vorastud1 runs on rhev1
[root@rhev1 ~]# virsh list
 Id Name                 State
----------------------------------
  3 vorastud1            running

vorastud2 runs on rhev2
[root@rhev2 ~]# virsh list | grep orast
 10 vorastud2            running

vorastud1 10.4.5.164 (10.4.4.51 on intracluster)
vorastud2 10.4.5.165 (10.4.4.52 on intracluster)
guests' cluster vip 10.4.5.166
No iptables running on guests

my guests' cluster fencing device section is based on what read on
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/XVM_FencingConfig
and
http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/wiki/VMClusterCookbook

               <clusternode name="vnode01" nodeid="1" votes="1">
                        <fence>
                                <method name="2">
                                        <device domain="vorastud2"
name="xvm-rhev2"/>
                                </method>
                                <method name="1">
                                        <device domain="vorastud2"
name="xvm-rhev1"/>
                                </method>
                        </fence>
                </clusternode>

        <fencedevices>
                <fencedevice name="xvm-rhev1" agent="fence_xvm"
key_file="/etc/cluster/rhev1.key"/>
                <fencedevice name="xvm-rhev2" agent="fence_xvm"
key_file="/etc/cluster/rhev2.key"/>
        </fencedevices>

The keys on hosts are different.

I had to configure this double method because sometimes it seems I can
reach a domain only through one host (that not necessarily is the one
where the guest is running).
Could it be considered useful or not in general to have this
redundancy of configuration?
Does it make sense to use an host for guests running on other hosts?

- sometimes fence_virtd seems to hang

[root@rhev1 ~]# strace -p 2849
