Hi
I have a question concerning the 'correct' behaviour of GlusterFS:
We a nice Gluster setup up and running. Most things are working
nicely. Our setup is as follows:
- Storage is a 2+1 Gluster setup (2 replicating hosts + 1 arbiter)
with a volume for virtual machines.
- Two virtualisation hosts running libvirt / qemu / kvm.
Are you using something like oVirt or proxmox for managing your
virtualization cluster?
We are using our own fork of FOSS-Cloud [0]. FOSS-cloud uses libvirt
underneath. We are currently on Qemu 2.1.3 and libvirt 1.2.8.
Now the question is, what is supposed to happen when we unplug one
of the storage nodes (aka power outage in one of our data centers)?
Initially we were hoping that the virtualisation hosts would
automatically switch over to the second storage node and keep all
VMs running.
However, during our tests, we have found that this is not the case.
Instead, when we unplug one of the storage nodes, the virtual
machines run into all sorts of problems; being unable to read/write,
crashing applications and even corrupting the filesystem. That is of
course not acceptable.
Reading the documentation again, we now think that we have
misunderstood what we're supposed to be doing. To our understanding,
what should happen is this:
- If the virtualisation host is connected to the storage node which
is still running:
- everything is fine and the VM keeps running
- If the virtualisation host was connected to the storage node
which is now absent:
- qemu is supposed to 'pause' / 'freeze' the VM
- Virtualisation host waits for ping timeout
- Virtualisation host switches over to the other storage node
- qemu 'unpauses' the VMs
- The VM is fully operational again
Does my description match the 'optimal' GlusterFS behaviour?
Can you provide more details about your gluster volume configuration and
the options enabled on the volume?
We upgraded Gluster from 3.5.X to 3.8.8. After the upgrade we switched
from a two node replicating setup to two nodes + arbiter.
The volume hosting the virtual disks uses the settings from the 'virt'
group, except for 'features.shard' which we disabled. I attached the
exact list of options.
