RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 David Teigland 2022-11-17 16:37:25 UTC
Can you please describe the use case you have for sanlock?  What other software would use sanlock with this configuration?  sanlock features are often tested and supported as a component of a larger product.

Comment 2 rainzhang2 2022-11-18 02:59:16 UTC
Hi,

We use sanlock+lvmlockd for shared VG.

We have a 2 nodes Active/Standby HA system with shared storage, only one node can access the shared storage at the same time.
So, we use shared VG with sanlock+lvmlockd, then only one node can activate VG at the same time.

In case active node is failed, the standby node should activate VG and take over active role. As current sanlock timer, standby node can not activate VG until the following time passed:
8 * io_timeout_seconds + watchdog_fire_timeout(hardcode 60 seconds)

To decrease the wait time, we need watchdog_fire_timeout to be confiruable.

Comment 3 David Teigland 2022-11-18 15:45:09 UTC
Thanks for the information, we will need to test lvmlockd with the new sanlock timeout settings.  Most new features like this would be added only to RHEL9; very few changes are now added to RHEL8.

You will notice in the commit above that a lower watchdog_fire_timeout should be combined with a shorter io_timeout, e.g. watchdog_fire_timeout=30 and io_timeout=5.  You should also verify that the smaller io_timeout works well with your storage system.  Smaller io_timeouts can trigger unnecessary failures when the i/o response from the storage is slow.
