imgbased always filters LVs. See https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/74720/

`nodectl check` is essentially a wrapper around `nodectl check`, except is also checks service status for vdsm.

I do not have a reproducer for this bug, and have never encountered it. I suspect it may be something to do with the clustered LV.

It is not reasonable to specify a global LVM filter for all RHVH installations, and we do not currently modify any files shipped by platform. The question is why LVM is returning an error code. Duplicate LV names? Duplicate UUIDs?

Can the customer remove the filter and try:

vgs -vvvv --noheadings --select lv_tags=imgbased:pool -o lv_full_name; echo $?

There will be a lot of output.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Unrelated to this (but related to comments in the case), 'nodectl init' should only be run at install time. It is not triggered dyring upgrades. Bad things (TM) will happen if it is executed on a running/configured system.

Essentially, 'nodectl init' looks at a "bare" install (LVM thinpool, no snapshots for RHVH), and creates the required layout/tagging. In this case, it would essentially:

Tag volumes with:
imgbased:pool
imgbased:root
imgbased:lv
# Create a new LV based on the NVR of the image
# copy the contents of imgbased:root into that LV, and configure the bootloader

On upgrades, this is handled by `imgbase update --format liveimg ...`, which can be seeing in the RPM %post scripts for new images.

I test this bug with the version:RHVH-4.1-20171002.0-RHVH-x86_64-dvd1.iso
Step: 
1. Install RHVH via Anaconda with ISCSI machine
2. Add rhvh to rhevm , creat iscsi storage
3. Creat VM with ISCSI storage successfully.
4. Reboot the host.

However,when I run the command "nodectl check", the status is OK.
I cannot reproduce the bug.
Are there any other steps for reproducing this bug?

Hi,

I have this issue on the latest image (redhat-virtualization-host-image-update-4.1-20180410.1.el7_5.noarch) which uses ovirt-node-ng-nodectl-4.1.5-0.20170810.0.el7.noarch

The issue happens when I have VM running on the node and the VM has a disk which contains clustered LVM. The 'nodectl info' command throws the folloing error:

# nodectl info

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['lvs', '--noheadings', '-o', 'lv_full_name', '--select', 'lv_tags = imgbased:base || lv_tags = imgbased:layer']' returned non-zero exit status 5

Also 'nodectl check' throws an exception:

# nodectl check
Status: FAILED
Bootloader ... OK
  Layer boot entries ... OK
  Valid boot entries ... OK

  Separate /var ... OK
  Discard is used ... OK

vdsmd ... OK

At login the motd show the node status is degraded.

Once the VM with the volume cointains the clustered LVM migrated to somewhere else all commands works as expected.

In presence of any clustered VG the actual command works properly and output looks like:

# lvs --noheadings -o lv_full_name --select 'lv_tags = imgbased:base || lv_tags = imgbased:layer'
  Couldn't find device with uuid YBcwSi-NrfX-xSfP-F82r-jA6v-JMGV-pXyDe7.

But the return code is 5 instead of 0

Otherwise the output is the following:

# lvs --noheadings -o lv_full_name --select 'lv_tags = imgbased:base || lv_tags = imgbased:layer'
  rhvh_rhevh0102/rhvh-4.1-0.20171002.0

  rhvh_rhevh0102/rhvh-4.1-0.20180410.0+1

Any chance to fix this before 4.2.5?

Something simple like this:

# lvs --ignoreskippedcluster --noheadings -o lv_full_name --select 'lv_tags = imgbased:base || lv_tags = imgbased:layer'

The following patch for /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgbased/lvm.py fix the issue and won't cause problems if there are any clustered LVM used by the node itself:
