Hi, We’ve been running on Openstack for several years now and our setup has always counted a single controller. We are currently testing switching to a dual controller HA solution, but an unexpected issue has appeared, regarding storage. See, we use Dell compellent SAN for our block devices. I notice that when I create a volume on one controller, I am unable to make any operation on the same volume on the second controller (this is with an active/passive cinder-volume). Worse, this affects VMs directly as they can’t be migrated if the active controller isn’t the one that created their block device.
I know this issue doesn’t happen on Ceph, so I’ve been wondering, is this a limitation of Openstack or the SAN driver? Also, is there actually a way to reach even active-passive high availability with this current storage solution?
