Description Steve Reichard 2008-11-04 16:01:17 UTC

Description of problem:

Heterogenous cluster of HP DL580 G5 (Intel 16 core, 64 GB and AMD 8 core 72 GB)
running RHEL 5.2 AP and recently updated

Cluster is formed using luci.   post-join timeout chagned.   fences added (HP ilo)

In this state the cluster appears okay, daemons appear up and no unusual entried in the messages file.   

Upon a reboot, nodes appear to join,  then totem appears to fail on the rebooted node, which cuases it to be fenced.

Lon discovered that upon disabling rgmanager, the cluster rejoined and seemed stable.  However if rgmanager was started by hand on the rebooted node, it then failed.

Even with rgmanager disabled,  a cluster.conf update was attempted, and it appeared that the updated caused the same or similar issues.

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

[root@renoir crash]# cat /etc/redhat-release ;  uname -a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)
Linux renoir.lab.bos.redhat.com 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5xen #1 SMP Thu Sep 4 04:07:08 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[root@renoir crash]# 


BTW - the 2 nodes have had guests (4 vCPU, 4G, RHEL 5.2) on them that have formed a stable cluster which none of these issues have been seen.

How reproducible:
This instability was reproduced several times:
   iptables and SElunix enabled and disabled
   using existing packages and downloading
   using a qdisk and not using a qdisk
   Using other nodes (another DL580, similarly configured)
   Using various interconnect switches (including one that is known to be functioning with other clusters)
   Using manual fencing instead of the HP ilo




Steps to Reproduce:
1.  form cluster
2.  update post join timeout and fences
3.  reboot a node
  
Actual results:
Unstable cluster

Expected results:
stable cluster, even with rgmanager running

Comment 1 Steven Dake 2008-11-04 22:50:34 UTC

Please indicate the version of the openais package you are using.  -15 or a later version?

Is there remote access available to the machines to debug?  That would help quite a bit.

I have never seen this kind of field failure before but it indicates the system is failing to receive any multicast messages for over 30 token rotations which is signifnicant.  Rgmanager running just sends multicast messages which triggers the failed to receive state because of lack of received messages.

Comment 2 Steve Reichard 2008-11-05 14:17:01 UTC

Version :

 AIS Executive Service RELEASE 'subrev 1358 version 0.80.3' 
openais.x86_64                           0.80.3-15.el5          installed       


machines are available, just will need to co-ordinate a little

Comment 3 Steven Dake 2008-11-10 16:57:51 UTC

system has xen bridging.  Moving cman to run at runlevel 99 fixes problem.  Steve's coworker reported in a recent kernel upgrade this problem was introduced and his system only used virbr.

This is really out of my domain of expertise - would be helpful to have the person that did the xenbr magic code in cman init script take a look at this issue and fix the compatability problem.

Regards

Comment 4 Steve Reichard 2008-11-10 22:52:39 UTC

The co-workers problems does not seem to be related, changing his init sequence number did not change his issue.

Also confirmed that if the configuration does not have the Xen network bridges configured, the cluster was stable.  Put the bridges back in place and the instability returned on the next reboot.

Comment 5 Steven Dake 2009-01-20 20:40:00 UTC

apparently this is resolved in 5.3.  Please try 5.3 and if problem persists, reopen defect.

Thanks.

Comment 6 Florencia Fotorello 2009-07-28 15:45:56 UTC

Hello,

A customer with a similar issue did an update today (28/Jul/09) to RHEL 5.3 and the problem persists.

The log shows this message many times:

Jul 28 08:12:50 server01 openais[2552]: [TOTEM] FAILED TO RECEIVE  
Jul 28 08:12:50 server01 openais[2552]: [TOTEM] entering GATHER state from 6.  

Could you please confirm what this message means? Is is regarding multicast messages?


Here are the log:

My guess is the customer's iptable rules were not set properly during the update.

This error means that no multicast messages could be received by the receivers.

Thanks Steve for your quick reply.

Iptables is disabled and customer hasn't a Cisco Swith (which I read could have problems with multicast messages). 

The nodes are two Blades from an IBM Blade Center. Here is the information:

Chasis: BladeCenter-H.
 Description    BladeCenter-H  
 Machine Type/Model    88524YU   
Nodes:
Product Name    HS21-XM Blade Server, 2 dual- or quad-core Intel Xeon  
 Description    HS21 XM (Type 7995)   

Could you please let me know if the error with multicast messages is related with openais or is a hardware/configuration issue?

Thanks again.

Regards,

Florencia

THey used the software with 5.2 and an upgrade to 5.3 caused this problem?  I believe the bladecenter uses cisco switches internally.

Usually this would be a hardware configuration issue with the switch or a iptables issue.

I reread bugzilla and was curious, is the user using xen briding or virbr?

Hello,

> THey used the software with 5.2 and an upgrade to 5.3 caused this problem? 
No, the problem was in RHEL 5.2 and persists after the upgrade to RHEL 5.3.

> I reread bugzilla and was curious, is the user using xen briding or virbr?  
Neither of them. It's not using Xen.

Thanks

Hello,

The switch included in the BlaceCenter is "IBM Server Connectivity Module for BladeCenter 39y9324". 

Do you have any workaround to check, similar to the one for Cisco Switches (http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-5933)?

I know it's not regarding openais, but perhaps you saw this behavior before.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 13 Florencia Fotorello 2009-07-30 13:06:59 UTC

Hello,

I saw that "IGMP Snoopping" is enable by default in BladeCenter's switch, as in Cisco switches. (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/bladectr/documentation/topic/com.ibm.bladecenter.io_39Y9324.doc/31r1755.pdf)

Which are the switch's requirements for openais works properly?

Thanks in advance.

Comment 14 Steven Dake 2009-07-30 17:02:40 UTC

First i'd check that the user doesn't have xend starting by default.  Another option is to change the init script for cman to run at runlevel 99.  If that doesn't work, then it could be a switch problem.

We have docs on the product which describe the switch requirements, but I am not sure where they are.  Ask paul kennedy.

Florencia,
I don't know that we have a clear picture of the switch reqirements.  One thing you might try if you haven't is to turn on fast port forwarding on the switch.

Florencia,

Here is a relevant kbase article:

Comment 17 Florencia Fotorello 2009-08-05 21:03:17 UTC

Thanks Steven for your help.

We follow this guidelines and it seems it's working now:

Multicast Addresses
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Cluster_Administration/s1-multicast-considerations-CA.html

Why are my Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster nodes having problems communicating when connected to a Cisco Catalyst switch?
