Hi everybody!
I have a problem with connecting a gluster storage domain during a new
installation of oVirt 4.4. I think i tracked it down to a problem with
Gluster CLI, error message is "Error outputting to xml", thats why i
reach out for help here. [1]
During the setup process the following steps seem to be made (at least
thats what i derived out of my logs):
- The Ansible setup script request GlusterFS address and boot options
from the user
- VDSM asks for connected storage pools and gets back an empty list:
/var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log:
2023-07-18 16:32:35,348+0200 INFO (vmrecovery) [vdsm.api] START
getConnectedStoragePoolsList() from=internal,
task_id=836164a8-882e-47a4-8f22-689f22425a6f (api:48)
2023-07-18 16:32:35,348+0200 INFO (vmrecovery) [vdsm.api] FINISH
getConnectedStoragePoolsList return={'poollist': []} from=internal,
task_id=836164a8-882e-47a4-8f22-689f22425a6f (api:54)
- The newly deployed engine wants to connect to the storage with infos
from the user:
/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/engine-logs-2023-07-18T14:33:50Z/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log:

- VDSM wants to connect to the storage:
/var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log:

task_id=3c24b1e6-fe6a-4987-882a-4392fc920b7e (api:48)
- And finally SuperVDSM calls Gluster CLI to make the request:
/var/log/vdsm/supervdsm.log
MainProcess|jsonrpc/6::DEBUG::2023-07-18
16:32:35,533::commands::153::common.commands::(start) /usr/bin/taskset
--cpu-list 0-3 /usr/sbin/gluster --mode=script volume info
--remote-host=gluster1.martinwi.local gv3 --xml (cwd None)
- And the request fails:
/var/log/glusterfs/cli.log:
[2023-07-18 14:32:35.546068] I [cli.c:722:cli_rpc_init] 0-cli:

I suspected a syntax problem and tried the command "gluster volume info
gv3 --mode=script --remote-host=gluster1.martinwi.local --xml" manually
and some other variants on the oVirt node but got the same error
message. On the Gluster servers i can output the XML.
There doesnt seem to be a network issue, since i can see packets with
the request and the reply with proper volume information (the volume
options are, btw, compliant to the docs, "storage.owner-gid: 36"
"storage.owner-uid: 36" etc).
Used versions:
oVirt Node: GlusterFS 8.6
Gluster servers: GlusterFS 11.0
The Gluster servers worked fine with oVirt 4.3 so i dont think there is
a version incompatibility.
Does anyone have an idea whats going wrong here or where to dig further?
Many thanks in advance :)
Regards,
Niko
