Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 218040
luci reports "unknown" as cluster name if cluster creation fails (not reproducible at will)
Last modified: 2009-04-16 18:42:39 EDT
Description of problem: luci reports "unknown" as cluster name if cluster creation fails (not reproducible at will) For example - in debugging the problem described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217724, I did see this problem of an "unknown" cluster a couple of times. luci didn;t write anything interesting to its debug log. Jim Parsons suggested that I log this bz - even though it's not yet reproducible ar will - while I'm looking at determining the exact cause/sequence of actions to recreate the bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): luci-0.8-25.el5 How reproducible: Intermittent - maybe 20% of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new cluster, but have that cluster creation fail - for example, due to the bug described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217724 Actual results: See the first attachment. Expected results: A more helpful error message. Additional info: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217724
Created attachment 142569 [details] Screen shot of "unknown" cluster
I believe this occurs when ricci is unable to get information about the cluster from modclusterd because modclusterd (and/or cluster infrastructure) is not running. What luci should do is use the information about the cluster (name, nodes, etc.) that is does have in its database instead of simply printing '[unknown]' and nothing else.
The fix for this is in -HEAD now. I'll commit it to -RHEL5 once all the appropriate flags are set.
Unable to exactly recreate the problem - but, I never was able to. Tried to cause the problem by killing modclusterd, and the "unknown" error did not result. Marking the bz as verified.
A package has been built which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.
