Description lijuan men 2017-03-27 05:17:36 UTC
Description of problem:
Persistent gluster pool will be in inactive status after libvirtd restarts

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-3.1.0-2.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.8.0-6.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1.define and start a pool with the following xml:

[root@localhost ~]# cat gluster-pool.xml
<pool type='gluster'>
<name>gluster</name>
<source>
<host name='10.66.70.107'/>
<name>test</name>
<dir path='/'/>
</source>
</pool>


[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-define gluster-pool.xml
Pool gluster defined from gluster-pool.xml

[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-start gluster
Pool gluster started


[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-list --all
 Name                 State      Autostart
-------------------------------------------
 default              active     yes      
 Downloads            active     yes      
 gluster              active     no  


[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-info gluster
Name:           gluster
UUID:           44900b5b-30c6-46e0-b095-9aa2bb4c8627
State:          running
Persistent:     yes
Autostart:      no
Capacity:       49.98 GiB
Allocation:     4.72 GiB
Available:      45.25 GiB

2.restart libvirtd,and check the status of the gluster pool

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl restart libvirtd

[root@localhost ~]# virsh pool-list --all
 Name                 State      Autostart
-------------------------------------------
 default              active     yes      
 Downloads            active     yes      
 gluster           ** inactive**   no        

Actual results:
the gluster pool is in the inactive status

Expected results:
the gluster pool can always be active as default pool

Comment 2 Peter Krempa 2017-04-05 10:59:31 UTC
commit a200ebbc6f2cc5835daf0ddda9a347b7311a7877
Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa>
Date:   Thu Mar 30 13:18:43 2017 +0200

    storage: gluster: Implement 'checkPool' method so that state is restored
    
    After restart of libvirtd the 'checkPool' method is supposed to validate
    that the pool is online. Since libvirt then refreshes the pool contents
    anyways just return whether the pool was supposed to be online so that
    the code can be reached. This is necessary since if a pool does not
    implement the method it's automatically considered as inactive.
