Guest Configuration with 7 SCSI devices
Created attachment 795208 [details]
Error in scsi page 83h on guest
SCSI page 0x83 for /dev/sdg on the guest is corrupt and cannot be read.
The attached file has the details of the error.
A couple more details: The scsi controller is defined by the virt-install command so the guest can boot to /dev/sda And I am running libvirt verion libvirt-0.10.2-18.el6.9.x86_64 woth Osier's patch to add the -wwn option to attach-disk. After Osier suggestion to update libvirt I built libvirt 1.1.2 on EL 6.4 and upgraded to the newer version. With the updated libvirt the errors: error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error Unable to determine model for scsi controller were resolved and all 38 disks that I tried to attach worked! But the attach-disk command created seven scsi controllers in the guest which severely limits the number of disks that can be attached to the guest because of the limited number of pci slots. With all the disks attached to the guest I then stopped the guest and edited the configuration so that all 38 disks were attached to the first scsi controller by incrementing the target field attaching 7 disks to each target on the one controller and deleted the other six controllers. This also worked! Progress! Next I will try some experiments using attach-device rather than attach disk so I can use all three files of bus:target:unit to attach 260 disks to a single scsi controller. If the attach-devce method of creating xml snippets to attach each disk works, I will then try this method on the version of libvirt that comes with EL 6.4. Comment #4 indicates the root issue was indeed fixed at some point, so closing |
Created attachment 785925 [details] Script to reproduce the attach-disk errors starting with device sdg Description of problem: attach-disk fails with the errors starting with the seventh scsi disk: error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error Unable to determine model for scsi controller Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time the target name is sdg or greater Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a libvirt managed lvm storage pool named GuestVols on an empty partition 2. Create 10 volumes in the pool, one large boot and 9 small volumes 3. Boot a new RHEL 6.4 guest to virtio-scsi disk target sda (req. virt-install v. 0.600.4-1) 3. Use virsh attach-disk to attach the next 5 small volumes using targets sdb through sdf 4. Try to attach the next disk as target sdg and see the errors Actual results: attach fails starting with target sdg Expected results: Should be able to attach 2048 scsi disks Additional info: Results of running the attached script that creates 10 small volumes and attaches them to a guest. ./addVols Vol UEM004-1 created Disk attached successfully virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-1 --target sdb --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 44f568b1da33f551 --serial 678a44f568b1da33f551 --shareable Vol UEM004-2 created Disk attached successfully virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-2 --target sdc --cache none --type disk --config --wwn d8eaa2b4f6f00b64 --serial 993bd8eaa2b4f6f00b64 --shareable Vol UEM004-3 created Disk attached successfully virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-3 --target sdd --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 07abf5f622bb1380 --serial 12eb07abf5f622bb1380 --shareable Vol UEM004-4 created Disk attached successfully virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-4 --target sde --cache none --type disk --config --wwn b5b984b2039f2e80 --serial 71f9b5b984b2039f2e80 --shareable Vol UEM004-5 created Disk attached successfully virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-5 --target sdf --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 1fc7058865439717 --serial c7d11fc7058865439717 --shareable Vol UEM004-6 created Disk attached successfully virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-6 --target sdg --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 4d3ddb9d15b05e7e --serial 62fd4d3ddb9d15b05e7e --shareable Vol UEM004-7 created error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error Unable to determine model for scsi controller virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-7 --target sdh --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 3a08cefb36e36877 --serial 4e8c3a08cefb36e36877 --shareable Vol UEM004-8 created error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error Unable to determine model for scsi controller virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-8 --target sdi --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 66754b95cc0ae1f0 --serial c92866754b95cc0ae1f0 --shareable Vol UEM004-9 created error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error Unable to determine model for scsi controller virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-9 --target sdj --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 0a5d1f3351b38680 --serial a2470a5d1f3351b38680 --shareable Vol UEM004-10 created error: Failed to attach disk error: internal error Unable to determine model for scsi controller virsh attach-disk --domain UEM004n1 --source /dev/GuestVols/UEM004-10 --target sdk --cache none --type disk --config --wwn 02a54ec5fd4928e0 --serial 705d02a54ec5fd4928e0 --shareable
