Re: [ovirt-users] gluster split-brain on vm images volume

Let me contribute to the upgrade process. In my case I ended up with the same problem, but in my case it was on testing setup. In that case the problem was caused by automatic night upgrade, which I have turned on on my Centos servers. Everytime you release new RPMs my servers automatically upgrade - with minor version it is not problem usually, but major one..

So I would like to suggest to make directory hierarchy according to version .. To provide folders 3.4 / 3.5 / 3.6 / Latest in your repository as other projects do.

This wont resolve this kind of issue, but when you are releasing 3.6 my servers are not going to upgrade automatically in the middle of the night.

Thanks MIlos

Hello,

I'm cross-posting this from ovirt-users:

I have an oVirt environment backed by a two-node Gluster-cluster.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade to from GlusterFS 3.5.1 to 3.5.2, but
that caused the gluster daemon to stop and now I have several lines
like
this in my log for the volume that hosts the VM images, called vmimage:
Did the upgrade happen when the volume is still running?
Yes...
I guess we need to document upgrade process if not already done.

This is the document that talks about how to resolve split-brains in
gluster.
https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/split-brain.md
OK, I will try that.
What I would like to do is the following, since I'm not 100% happy
anyway with how the volume is setup:

- Stop VDSM on the oVirt hosts / unmount the volume
- Stop the current vmimage volume and rename it
Is this a gluster volume? gluster volumes can't be renamed..
That surprise me: in the man page I find this:

volume rename <VOLNAME> <NEW-VOLNAME>
               Rename the specified volume.
One more documentation bug :-(

- Create a new vmimage volume
- Copy the images from one of the nodes
where will these images be copied to? on to the gluster mount? if yes
then there is no need to sync.
OK, I will try to resolve with the guide for split-brain scenarios first.
Let us know if you have any doubts in this document.
- Start the volume and let it sync
- Restart VDSM / mount the volume

Is this going to work? Or is there critical metadata that will not be
transferred with these steps?

Tiemen
