oVirt gerrit 59498 0 master MERGED engine: enforce bricks are not from same server 2016-08-23 06:43:05 UTC

Description Paul Cuzner 2015-01-15 00:26:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Although the UI warns when creating a replica set containing bricks from the same server - it should actually fail the request when the nodes are gluster and virt i.e. hyper-converged,


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5

How reproducible:
n/a

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a replicated volume by providing all bricks from the same node
2. UI provides a warning (Replicate Confirmation dialog) which the user can ignore
3.

Actual results:
Volume can be created

Expected results:
Volume made from multiple bricks from the same server in a converged use case represents a data loss or service loss risk. The UI should enforce sensible decisions to safeguard service availability.

Comment 1 Red Hat Bugzilla Rules Engine 2015-10-19 11:01:50 UTC
Target release should be placed once a package build is known to fix a issue. Since this bug is not modified, the target version has been reset. Please use target milestone to plan a fix for a oVirt release.

Comment 2 Sahina Bose 2016-03-31 14:38:40 UTC
Bricks from same server in a replica set should be blocked

Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2016-05-02 10:10:26 UTC
Moving from 4.0 alpha to 4.0 beta since 4.0 alpha has been already released and bug is not ON_QA.

Comment 4 Yaniv Lavi 2016-05-23 13:26:24 UTC
oVirt 4.0 beta has been released, moving to RC milestone.

Comment 5 Yaniv Lavi 2016-05-23 13:26:46 UTC
oVirt 4.0 beta has been released, moving to RC milestone.

Comment 6 Emma Heftman 2017-01-22 09:55:43 UTC
Hi Sahina
Can you please confirm whether this chapter of the Administration Guide will need to be updated to support this new behaviour:  https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/single/administration-guide/#sect-Cluster_Utilization

If not, should it be documented anywhere else?

Comment 7 Sahina Bose 2017-01-23 06:59:22 UTC
Doc-text looks good to me. 
The "Global Inventory" needs to be updated, but as part of Bug 1364999

Comment 8 SATHEESARAN 2017-02-08 17:42:37 UTC
Tested with RHV 4.1 Beta ( Red Hat Virtualization Manager Version: 4.1.0.3-0.1.el7 )

When trying to create a gluster replica 3 volume with bricks on the same server, the operation failed with following error message:

"Error while executing action: Cannot create Gluster Volume. Replica set contains bricks from same server. This is not supported for hyper-converged cluster."

Comment 9 George Joseph 2017-02-09 01:35:53 UTC
So in a cluster with 4 nodes, the only way to create a replica 3/arbiter 1 volume is with 12 bricks, 3 on each node.  Is this now going to be impossible?
