XCP: sr driver question wrt vm-migrate

XCP: sr driver question wrt vm-migrate

[YAMAMOTO Takashi]

hi,

on vm-migrate, xapi attaches a vdi on the migrate-to host
before detaching it on the migrate-from host.
unfortunately it doesn't work for our product, which doesn't
provide a way to attach a volume to multiple hosts at the same time.
is VDI_ACTIVATE something what i can use as a workaround?
or any other suggestions?

Yup, vdi activate is the way forward.

If you advertise VDI_ACTIVATE and VDI_DEACTIVATE in the 'get_driver_info' response, xapi will call the following during the start-migrate-shutdown lifecycle:

VM start:

host A: VDI.attach
host A: VDI.activate

VM migrate:

host B: VDI.attach

  (VM pauses on host A)

host A: VDI.deactivate
host B: VDI.activate

  (VM unpauses on host B)

host A: VDI.detach

VM shutdown:

host B: VDI.deactivate
host B: VDI.detach

so the disk is never activated on both hosts at once, but it does still go through a period when it is attached to both hosts at once. So you could, for example, check that the disk *could* be attached on the vdi_attach SMAPI call, and actually attach it properly on the vdi_activate call.

Hope this helps,

Jon

hi,

i'll try deferring the attach operation to vdi_activate.
thanks!

Re: XCP: sr driver question wrt vm-migrate

[YAMAMOTO Takashi]

hi,

after making my sr driver defer the attach operation as you suggested,
i got migration work.  thanks!

however, when repeating live migration between two hosts for testing,
i got the following error.  it doesn't seem so reproducable.
do you have any idea?

Re: XCP: sr driver question wrt vm-migrate

[Jonathan Ludlam]

This is usually the result of a failure earier on. Could you grep through the logs to get the whole trace of what went on? Best thing to do is grep for VM.pool_migrate, then find the task reference (the hex string beginning with 'R:' immediately after the 'VM.pool_migrate') and grep for this string in the logs on both the source and destination machines. 

Have a look  through these, and if it's still not obvious what went wrong, post them to the list and we can have a look.

Cheers,

Jon

Re: XCP: signal -7 (Re: XCP: sr driver question wrt vm-migrate)

[Jonathan Ludlam]

Very strange indeed. -7 is SIGKILL. 

Firstly, is this 0.1.1 or 0.5-RC? If it's 0.1.1 could you retry it on 0.5 just to check if it's already been fixed?

Secondly, can you check whether xapi has started properly on both machines (ie. the init script completed successfully)? I believe that if the init script doesn't detect that xapi has started correctly it might kill it. This is about the only thing we can think of that might cause the problem you described.

Cheers,

Jon

It's actually SIGBUS, which is even more odd.  It generally means you've
truncated a file underneath an mmap mapping, then touched the
overhanging unbacked pages.

it's 0.1.1.
i'm not sure when i can try 0.5-RC.

I believe that if the init script doesn't detect that xapi has started correctly it might kill it. This is about the only thing we can think of that might cause the problem you described.

i was running a script which repeats vm-migrate a vm between two hosts.
the error was after many of successful vm-migrate runs.
so i don't think it's related to the init script.
