[Bug 1006212] Re: cciss: hpacucli "ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=2:4" hangs, spews call trace in dmesg

2012-10-12 Thread Gary Cuozzo
Hello,
As a data point, I'm seeing this same issue on 3 different DL360-G5's all 
running Precise.  2 systems are seeing the issue with the P400i controllers and 
the 3rd has the issue with a P800 controller and external disk arrays.  I 
experienced the issue while creating RAID1 sets as well as 5 disk and 10 disk 
RAID5 sets.

All are running with kernel 3.2.0-31-generic.

Thanks,
gary

Re: [Bug 997978] Re: KVM images lose connectivity with bridged network

2012-09-25 Thread Gary Cuozzo
I don't believe just rebooting a guest will cause a new KVM instance to
load.  As a test, I just rebooted a guest VM on a system here and the
pid of the kvm process did not change.  I think it may be possible that
you are still running on the old software.

Also, to update my data point...  On my server which was experiencing
issues, I rebooted the host just to make sure everything was fresh.
It's been about a month and I have not experienced the failure again.  I
was typically going a few weeks between issues.

Subject: [Bug 997978] Re: KVM images lose connectivity with bridged network

Soren,

We have a 12.04 based OpenStack cluster with 4 host nodes running about 30 VMs 
currently.
We performed the steps to add the kvm-network-hang repo and updated to the 
latest version on the host machines, then rebooted the instances. My 
understanding is that this should catch the update, since a new KVM command is 
run on reboot.

I caught the first failure ~12 hours after the upgrade. It had the usual
symptoms: networking loss, but the VM is still up and an active VNC
session was possible. I thought I just might have missed a reboot on one
of the VMs, so I didn't report anything. The second failure happened
yesterday, but someone else caught it and rebooted the VM. As best we
can tell after the fact, it looks like the usual failure (no full
harddrive, or kernel panic, or anything that got logged).

As  I mentioned before, we used to see at least one failure per day,
usually much more. This patch has at least reduced the occurence to a
minimal amount. These non-deterministic bugs are hard to track down.

Title:
  KVM images lose connectivity with bridged network

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “qemu-kvm” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  =
  SRU Justification:
  1. Impact: networking breaks after awhile in kvm guests using virtio 
networking
  2. Development fix: The bug was fixed upstream and the fix picked up in a new
 merge.
  3. Stable fix: 3 virtio patches are cherrypicked from upstream:
 a821ce5 virtio: order index/descriptor reads
 92045d8 virtio: add missing mb() on enable notification
 a281ebc virtio: add missing mb() on notification
  4. Test case: Create a bridge enslaving the real NIC, and use that as the 
bridge
 for a kvm instance with virtio networking.  See comment #44 for specific 
test
 case.
  5. Regression potential: Should be low as several people have tested the fixed
 package under heavy load.

[Bug 997978] Re: KVM images lose connectivity with bridged network

2012-08-14 Thread Gary Cuozzo
I have seen this issue on 2 different servers which use bridging but not
bonding.

One server was a customer system and we were forced to back-date the OS
to an earlier release.  They were experiencing the issue up to once/day
and quickly got impatient to have it resolved.

The other server is an internal system which runs multiple vm's.  We
have only seen the issue on one of the vm's and only once every 2-3
weeks.  The vm which experiences the issue is our LTSP server.

I have been testing a small cluster of 3 host machines which use both
bonding and bridging.  I have not seen this issue affect them, but the
usage is quite light and the vm's come & go since it's a testing
environment right now.  Due to this bug, we have halted any plans to
upgrade vm hosts to Precise until we can verify it's fixed.

We've seen the following when the issue has occurred:
* Absolutely nothing in any logs, dmesg, etc.
* Host machine cannot ping the guest
* arp shows guest as incomplete
* guest machine can ping its own IP, but nothing else (host, gw, etc)
* restarting networking subsystem is successful (no errors) but has no effect 
on the problem
* rebooting the guest fixes the problem until it happens again.  The reboot 
does not actually kill the kvm session and get a new process ID, but somehow 
having the guest go through the init again fixes it (until it happens again 
some period later).
* This issue has occurred on one 12.04 guest and one 11.10 guest
* Both of the servers which this occured on are Dell 2950 series machines.  I 
have not seen this issue on any of our HP Proliant (mostly DL360's) machines.

If there is some sort of test I can run to help debug, I'm happy to do
that.

Thank you for trying to address this.  This is a huge bug for us.

Thanks,
gary

2012-08-16 Thread Gary Cuozzo
Regarding comment #55:
I don't believe this is a guest OS issue.  In my comment #51 I also indicate 
that I have had non-precise vm's (specifically 11.10) experience the same issue.

I have only experienced this issue when using 12.04 precise as the host
OS.  On a customer server which I back-dated by reinstalling 11.10 as
the host OS, the issue went away.

[Bug 997978] Re: KVM images lose connectivity with bridged network

2012-08-16 Thread Gary Cuozzo
Hi Serge,
I would be willing to install your ppa packages.  The only issue on my end is 
that this problem only occurs every 3-4 weeks for me.  So I don't think I would 
be able to give any sort of concrete feedback for whether it addresses the 
issue or not.

My customer's server was having the issue several times per week, but I
had to take action pretty quickly to keep them happy and chose to
backdate to 11.10.  After 9 days, they have not had the issue, which
lends more evidence that it is not a guest-based issue but host-based.

2012-08-29 Thread Gary Cuozzo
I installed the new packages on Monday and have not had any issues.
That said, I was only experiencing failures once every 3-4 weeks.  So I
don't think my data point will be valid for at least a few weeks.

[Bug 1006212] Re: cciss: hpacucli "ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=2:4" hangs, spews call trace in dmesg

2012-11-09 Thread Gary Cuozzo
One of my systems which experiences the problem is running hpacucli
v8.70-8.0.  The system is 64-bit.  I'm running the utility using the
following command:  setarch x86_64 --uname-2.6 hpacucli

Without the setarch, the utility does not detect any controllers.

Hope the information helps,
gary
