Description Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2015-06-11 13:42:20 UTC
Description of problem:

We are testing Instance HA but this can be reproduced without the whole pacemaker setup.

I am using the scratch build I was provided to address another bug:

2015.1.0-9 across the board

We have no shared storage in this setup (yes it's for testing purposes only) and we do configure and invoke nova evacuation without --on-shared-storage option.

One compute node was running 7 instances and we failed it by crashing the kernel.

Of the 7 Vms 2 failed with the following error:

that doesn't really make sense because there is no shared storage.

Comment 3 Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2015-06-11 15:40:45 UTC
I have been able to trigger this problem also with shared storage.

Raising severity.

Comment 4 Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2015-06-12 09:01:29 UTC
I have tested the scratch build provided to me here:

http://download.devel.redhat.com/brewroot/work/tasks/7275/9347275/

that is supposed to be 2015.1.0-4 + the fix for #1230237 and I have tested successfully failover and creations of Instances for over 5 hours without any glitch.

I can only suspect a regression between .4 and .9 at this point.

Comment 5 Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2015-06-13 05:26:44 UTC
One extra piece of information that might be useful.

When I first switched from local to shared storage with .8+patch build I followed this process:

1) stop nova everywhere
2) wipe clean /var/lib/nova/instances on all nodes
3) mounted the NFS export to /var/lib/nova/instances
   (it was already clean)
4) started nova again across the board

I recall, pretty clearly that /var/lib/nova/instances/compute_nodes file was NOT there. I was looking for it for curiosity (since I saw it on non-shared-storage installation) and I was interested to see how the contents change with shared-storage. I thought that was normal and not given any weight to it.

After rolling back to .4+patch (stop everything, wipe everything, downgrade, start), now the file is there with all relevant info about registered compute-nodes that can access a given shared storage.

Perhaps that could be part of the reason why we see the problem with shared storage. Maybe it's not relevant at all, but I thought it might good to know anyway.

After a full redeploy with .10 packages, i have been unable to reproduce this problem (with shared storage).

I am lowering the priority, even tho the severity remains unchanged (due to potential impact on customer).

I suspect that the move from non-shared to shared storage did confuse internal status of affairs (even tho all /var/lib/instances were properly wiped while services were in shutdown). On a fresh install the problem is not happening.

Perhaps here is a flag somewhere in the db that´s not updated properly? just a guess at this point.

Hi Fabio, any further re-occurrences of this?

Comment 8 Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 2015-07-16 14:30:34 UTC
I haven´t seen it since comment #6 with shared storage. No testing has been done without shared storage.

Since we haven't had any reports of this being re-produced since https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230759#c6 where Fabio notes he was not seeing it with .10 version of the packages I am closing this. Please re-open if this issue re-occurs.
