Gluster Infiniband/RDMA Help

[Dan Lavu <dan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm having some major problems with Gluster and oVirt, I've been ripping my hair out with this, so if anybody can provide insight, that will be fantastic. I've tried both transports TCP and RDMA... both are having instability problems.

So the first thing I'm running into, intermittently, on one specific node, will get spammed with the following message;

"[2016-08-08 00:42:50.837992] E [rpc-clnt.c:357:saved_frames_unwind] (--> /lib64/libglusterfs.so.0(_gf_log_callingfn+0x1a3)[0x7fb728b0f293] (--> /lib64/libgfrpc.so.0(saved_frames_unwind+0x1d1)[0x7fb7288d73d1] (--> /lib64/libgfrpc.so.0(saved_frames_destroy+0xe)[0x7fb7288d74ee] (--> /lib64/libgfrpc.so.0(rpc_clnt_connection_cleanup+0x7e)[0x7fb7288d8d0e] (--> /lib64/libgfrpc.so.0(rpc_clnt_notify+0x88)[0x7fb7288d9528] ))))) 0-vmdata1-client-0: forced unwinding frame type(GlusterFS 3.3) op(WRITE(13)) called at 2016-08-08 00:42:43.620710 (xid=0x6800b)"

Then the infiniband device will get bounced and VMs will get stuck.

Another problem I'm seeing, once a day, or every two days, an oVirt node will hang on gluster mounts. Issuing a df to check the mounts will just stall, this occurs hourly if RDMA is used. I can log into the hypervisor remount the gluster volumes most of the time.

This is on Fedora 23; Gluster 3.8.1-1, the Infiniband gear is 40Gb/s QDR Qlogic, using the ib_qib module, this configuration was working with our old infinihost III. I couldn't get OFED to compile so all the infiniband modules are Fedora installed.

So a volume looks like the following, (please if there is anything I need to adjust, the settings was pulled from several examples)

I think that's a good start, thank you so much for taking the time to look at this. You can find me on freenode, nick side_control if you want to chat, I'm GMT -5.

Cheers,

Dan
