Hello, We are running three EL6 clusters using the Red Hat High Availability Add-On, and are encountering issues with locking our clustered VM’s. We followed the virtual machine disk locking documentation (http://libvirt.org/locking.html#sanlockstorage), specifically its recommendation to have sanlock's disk_lease_dir set to a shared GFS2 file system. Ideally we would store the leases on a clustered logical volume block device, but haven’t yet figured out to configure this. Our VM XML definitions are on the same GFS2 file system, and our KVM virtual machines are using clustered logical volumes for their block devices. For example, here are a few configuration excerpts. ——— - From /etc/cluster/cluster.conf: <clusterfs device="/dev/vgift1/cluster" force_unmount="0" fstype="gfs2" mountpoint="/gfs/cluster" name="cluster" options="noatime"/> ... <vm autostart="0" domain="fd14" migrate="live" name="lnx91" path="/gfs/cluster/libvirt/qemu" recovery="relocate”/> - From /etc/fstab: /dev/vgift1/cluster /gfs/cluster gfs2 noatime 0 0 - From /gfs/cluster/libvirt/qemu/lnx91.xml: <disk type='block' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native'/> <source dev='/dev/vgift1/lnx91'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </disk> - From /etc/libvirt/quemu-sanlock.conf: host_id = 3 auto_disk_leases = 1 disk_lease_dir = "/gfs/cluster/libvirt/sanlock" ——— In general this works well, but periodically we see warnings and eventual errors that break sanlock and subsequently each clustered VM. After the problem occurs, recovery involves `service libvirtd restart ; clusvcadm -d vm:lnx91 ; clusvcadm -e vm:lnx91`. This is consistent across all three of our clusters (two at 6.4, one at fully updated 6.5). We see no other indications of problems with our iSCSI setup or GFS2 file systems. Please see below for an example of what we see in /var/log/messages. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions for resolving or debugging this problem on our EL6 clusters. I would be happy to provide entire configuration or log files, or open a bugzilla report if necessary. Many thanks, Devin ——— … May 14 23:32:43 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:43-0400 5909646 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 60 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:44 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:44-0400 5909647 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 61 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:45 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:45-0400 5909648 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 62 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:46 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:46-0400 5909649 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 63 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:47 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:47-0400 5909650 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 64 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:48 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:48-0400 5909651 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 65 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:49 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:49-0400 5909652 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 66 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:50 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:50-0400 5909653 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 67 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:51 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:51-0400 5909654 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 68 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:52 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:52-0400 5909655 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 69 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:53 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:53-0400 5909656 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 70 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:54 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:54-0400 5909657 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 71 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:55 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:55-0400 5909658 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 72 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:56 lnx903 sanlock[8476]: 2014-05-14 23:32:56-0400 5909659 [8476]: s2 check_our_lease warning 73 last_success 5909586 May 14 23:32:57 lnx903 wdmd[3627]: test warning now 5909660 ping 5909650 close 5210877 renewal 5909586 expire 5909666 client 8476 sanlock___LIBVIRT__DISKS__:3 May 14 23:32:57 lnx903 wdmd[3627]: /dev/watchdog closed unclean May 14 23:32:57 lnx903 kernel: iTCO_wdt: Unexpected close, not stopping watchdog!
