Description Sakshi 2015-11-16 03:56:02 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #890637 +++

Description of problem:
DHT - rebalance - when any brick/sub-vol is down, rebalance will performing any action but cli says 'Starting rebalance on volume <vol-name> has been successful' .


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.3.0.5rhs-40

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a Distributed volume having 3 or more sub-volumes on multiple server and start that volume.

2. Fuse Mount the volume from the client-1 using “mount -t glusterfs  server:/<volume> <client-1_mount_point>”

3. From mount point create some dirs and files inside it.
4. Bring on of the sub-volume down.
[root@localhost ~]# gluster volume status
Status of volume: defect
Gluster process						Port	Online	Pid
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brick 10.70.35.173:/home/def1				24011	Y	6440
Brick 10.70.35.180:/home/def1				24011	Y	28882
Brick 10.70.35.170:/home/def1				24011	N	27711
NFS Server on localhost					38467	Y	6608
NFS Server on 10.70.35.170				38467	Y	6153
NFS Server on 10.70.35.173				38467	Y	6446


5. Execute rebalance.
[root@localhost ~]# gluster volume rebalance defect fix-layout start
Starting rebalance on volume defect has been successful

6. check status and log
[root@localhost ~]# gluster volume rebalance defect status
                                    Node Rebalanced-files          size       scanned      failures         status
                               ---------      -----------   -----------   -----------   -----------   ------------
                               localhost                0            0            0            1         failed
                            10.70.35.173                0            0            0            1         failed
                            10.70.35.170                0            0            0            1         failed


log:-
[2012-12-28 09:55:48.833293] I [dht-common.c:2337:dht_setxattr] 0-defect-dht: fixing the layout of /
[2012-12-28 09:55:48.833309] W [dht-selfheal.c:603:dht_fix_layout_of_directory] 0-defect-dht: 1 subvolume(s) are down. Skipping fix layout.
  
Actual results:
[root@localhost ~]# gluster volume rebalance defect fix-layout start
Starting rebalance on volume defect has been successful

Expected results:
all sub-vol/bricks should be up is basic condition for rebalance. So when one sub-vol or brick is down, It should give proper message indicating that rebalance is not started as one of the brick/sub-volume is down rather than saying it started



correction:-
Description of problem:
DHT - rebalance - when any brick/sub-vol is down, rebalance will not performing any action but cli says 'Starting rebalance on volume <vol-name> has been successful' .

Comment 5 Nithya Balachandran 2017-08-29 06:36:07 UTC
This is the expected behaviour as glusterd was able to send the rebalance command to all nodes.

Closing this with resolution NotABug.
