Thanks for your response!
Do you have more detailed information if SCST is not fully implemented using Xen and live-migration or is it a possible bug we could work on and maybe fix it? Or is it not designed to work that way? That would be interesting...


Zitat von "Griffith, John" <john.griff...@netapp.com>:

It’s not a config option. It’s the way the SCST target driver works unfortunately. You’re using SCST and Xen, unfortunately neither of which are configurations that I have any real experience with especially when it comes to live-migration.

Follow up:

I ran another test with the external cinder-volume as storage backend for my instances' images. Since cinder tried to create a new target, this section was commented out in the scst.py to see how far I can get. This leads to a new error, but not on the cinder node. It's something that's not implemented yet for xen, IIUC. So basically, I need to tell cinder somehow to not create a new target but use the existing for that specific instance. But where do I need to do that, which option is it in what config file?

Any help is appreciated!

Eugen

Hi everyone,

I have successfully deployed a 3 node environment (1 control, 2 compute nodes, all of them running with openSUSE Leap 42.1) according to the docs. I also added an external storage node as a cinder-volume to store the instance images on a SAN-Server, not in local files. That works just fine, until I try to (live-)migrate an instance.

The instances was created by

nova boot --block-device source=image,id=24939ebe-6201-48f9-bb0d-5c207d94cea2,dest=volume,size=1,shutdown=remove,bootindex=0 --nic net-id=1940e2f7-ec41-4d2f-b531-11e8d229145d --flavor 1 VMfromVol

Running "nova live-migration VMfromVol" leads to this error in cinder-volume.log:
---cut here---
Stdout: u'Unexpected error while running command.
Command: scstadmin -open_dev disk1 -handler vdisk_fileio -attributes filename=/dev/ndesan03/volume-a3a78f9d-39b5-46af-aea8-d310a22795ff
Exit code: 1
Stdout: u"\\nCollecting current configuration: done.\\n\\n\\n-> Making requested changes.\\n\\t-> Opening device \'disk1\' using handler \'vdisk_fileio\': done.\\n\\n\\nFATAL: Received the following error:\\n\\n\\tDevice already exists.\\n\\n"\nStderr: u\'\''

ERROR cinder.volume.manager ISCSITargetHelperCommandFailed: Failed to add device to SCST handler
---cut here---

nova-compute.log only reports:

Remote error: ClientException The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation.

and on the other compute node:

ClientException: The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation.

So to summarize: there is an existing iscsi target on one compute node for a running instance. The command "nova live-migration <server> <host>" triggers cinder to create another iscsi target for the other compute node, but with the same volume label, which already exists and the operation fails. Is there something I'm missing in the config files? How can I ensure that the other compute node only logs in to the same target and doesn't create a new export?

I would really appreciate any help! If you need any other information about my configs or the whole stack traces from nova-compute.log and cinder-volume.log, please let me know!

Best regards,
Eugen
