Doc Text:
The domain monitor thread did not provide notifications when going from an unknown state to a known state. The thread would start with a bogus valid state, before checking the domain. If the first domain check found the domain as valid, no notification was emitted. If there were paused virtual machines while connecting to the pool, they were not unpaused as they should be. Now, the monitor thread detects the first state change and emit notifiction with the domain state. Domain state changes are now registered before the monitor threads are started. Paused virtual machines are now unpaused when VDSM starts, and the domain is valid.

vdsm log

Description of problem:
VM is not being automatically unpaused after I/O error. ISCSI environment. 

VM that goes to "paused" state because of I/O problems should be automatically unpaused when the I/O problem solved. It doesn't happen on ISCSI environment.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
is11. vdsm-4.12.0-72.git287bb7e.el6ev.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create VM with thin provisioned disk on ISCSI storage.
2.Install OS on the VM.
3.connect to VM start to write data to its HD (make big file)
4.Block connection to SD from the SPM host while data is being writed to VMs HD.
5.See that VM goes to "paused' state.
6.Resume the connection from SPM host to Storage Domain.

Actual results:
VM stays in "paused" mode.

Expected results:
Once connection to SD resumed ,VM turns from "paused" to "active"


Additional info:
vdsm log attached.

This feature works for me. I checked on is16

Comment 2 Ayal Baron 2013-10-09 12:09:22 UTC
Auto resume depends on domain monitoring (failed domain coming back up causes VMs to be unpaused). The situation here looks like the domain monitoring for this domain stopped for some reason (so naturally the VM wouldn't be resumed.

Comment 3 Katarzyna Jachim 2013-10-16 10:05:10 UTC
From what I have noticed:
* automatic unpausing doesn't work if we have an environment with only one host and one storage domain and we block connection between them - in such case after unblocking the connection DC is eventually up, but VM stays paused
* if we have a DC with one storage domain and two hosts and VM is running on non-SPM, unpausing work fine
* if we have a DC with one storage domain and two hosts and VM is running on SPM, then automatic unpausing doesn't work

It seems to me that when the host is the SPM and the blocked domain is the master what happens is:

- VM is up
- connection to master domain is blocked
- vdsm is restarted (in order to release the SPM role)
- domain state change callback is registered (but the pool is not connected)
- connectStoragePool keeps failing
- the connection to the master domain is unblocked
- connectStoragePool succeeds but there is event about the domains being accessible

I think this goes back to the old discussion about having a "domain is up" event also on connection.

With regard to comment 3, I'd add another test:

- one host only (SPM), two storage domains, block the connection to the non-master domain

In such case the resume should work with the current code.

I also think that this issue is not limited to ISCSI.

Comment 5 Elad 2013-12-15 14:56:02 UTC
Checked on both NFS and iSCSI. After connectivity to master domain is resumed, VM get started from paused state back to up.

Verified using is26
