mount.ocfs2: Transport endpoint is not connected while mounting...?

  • 772

I have replaced a dead node that was running in dual-primary mode with OCFS2. All the steps work:

/proc/drbd

version: 8.3.13 (api:88/proto:86-96)
GIT-hash: 83ca112086600faacab2f157bc5a9324f7bd7f77 build by [email protected], 2012-05-07 11:56:36

until I try to mount the volume:

mount -t ocfs2 /dev/drbd1 /data/webroot/
mount.ocfs2: Transport endpoint is not connected while mounting /dev/drbd1 on /data/webroot/. Check 'dmesg' for more information on this error.

and below is the kernel log on the node 0 (192.168.3.145):

I'm sure /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf on the both node are identical:

/etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf

node:
    ip_port = 7777
    ip_address = 192.168.3.145
    number = 0
    name = SVR233NTC-3145.localdomain
    cluster = cpc

node:
    ip_port = 7777
    ip_address = 192.168.2.93
    number = 1
    name = SVR022-293.localdomain
    cluster = cpc

cluster:
    node_count = 2
    name = cpc

and they are connected fine:

# nc -z 192.168.3.145 7777
Connection to 192.168.3.145 7777 port [tcp/cbt] succeeded!

but the O2CB heartbeat is not active on the new node (192.168.2.93):

/etc/init.d/o2cb status

Heartbeat dead threshold = 31
  Network idle timeout: 30000
  Network keepalive delay: 2000
  Network reconnect delay: 2000

Here're the results when running tcpdump on the node 0 while starting the ocfs2 on the node 1:

The RST flag is sent after every 6 packets.

What other can I do to debug this case?

PS:

OCFS2 versions on the node 0:

  • ocfs2-tools-1.4.4-1.el5
  • ocfs2-2.6.18-274.12.1.el5-1.4.7-1.el5

OCFS2 versions on the node 1:

  • ocfs2-tools-1.4.4-1.el5
  • ocfs2-2.6.18-308.el5-1.4.7-1.el5

UPDATE 1 - Sun Dec 23 18:15:07 ICT 2012

Are both nodes on the same lan segment? No routers etc.?

No, they are 2 VMWare servers on the different subnet.

Oh, while I remember - hostnames/DNS all setup and working correctly?

Sure, I added both the hostname and IP address of each node to /etc/hosts:

192.168.2.93    SVR022-293.localdomain
192.168.3.145   SVR233NTC-3145.localdomain

and they can connect to each other via hostname:

# nc -z SVR022-293.localdomain 7777
Connection to SVR022-293.localdomain 7777 port [tcp/cbt] succeeded!

# nc -z SVR233NTC-3145.localdomain 7777
Connection to SVR233NTC-3145.localdomain 7777 port [tcp/cbt] succeeded!

UPDATE 2 - Mon Dec 24 18:32:15 ICT 2012

Found the clues: my co-worker manually edited the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file while the cluster is running. So, it still keeps the dead node information in the /sys/kernel/config/cluster/:

# ls -l /sys/kernel/config/cluster/cpc/node/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 24 18:21 SVR150-4107.localdomain
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 24 18:21 SVR233NTC-3145.localdomain

(SVR150-4107.localdomain in this case)

I'm going to stop the cluster to remove the dead node but got the following error:

# /etc/init.d/o2cb stop
Stopping O2CB cluster cpc: Failed
Unable to stop cluster as heartbeat region still active

I'm sure the ocfs2 service is already stopped:

# mounted.ocfs2 -f
Device                FS     Nodes
/dev/sdb              ocfs2  Not mounted
/dev/drbd1            ocfs2  Not mounted

There are no references anymore:

# ocfs2_hb_ctl -I -u 12963EAF4E16484DB81ECB0251177C26
12963EAF4E16484DB81ECB0251177C26: 0 refs

I also unloaded the ocfs2 kernel module to ensure:

# ps -ef | grep [o]cfs2
root     12513    43  0 18:25 ?        00:00:00 [ocfs2_wq]

# modprobe -r ocfs2
# ps -ef | grep [o]cfs2
# lsof | grep ocfs2

but nothing changes:

# /etc/init.d/o2cb offline
Stopping O2CB cluster cpc: Failed
Unable to stop cluster as heartbeat region still active

So the final question is: how to delete the dead node information without rebooting?

UPDATE 3 - Mon Dec 24 22:41:51 ICT 2012

Here're all of the running heartbeat threads:

# ls -l /sys/kernel/config/cluster/cpc/heartbeat/ | grep '^d'
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 Dec 24 22:18 72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2

Reference counts for this heartbeat region:

# ocfs2_hb_ctl -I -u 72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2
72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2: 7 refs

Try to kill:

# ocfs2_hb_ctl -K -u 72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2
ocfs2_hb_ctl: File not found by ocfs2_lookup while stopping heartbeat

Any ideas?

    Oh yeah! Problem solved.

    Pay attention to the UUID:

    # mounted.ocfs2 -d
Device                FS     Stack  UUID                              Label
/dev/sdb              ocfs2  o2cb   12963EAF4E16484DB81ECB0251177C26  ocfs2_drbd1
/dev/drbd1            ocfs2  o2cb   12963EAF4E16484DB81ECB0251177C26  ocfs2_drbd1

    but:

    # ls -l /sys/kernel/config/cluster/cpc/heartbeat/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 Dec 24 22:53 72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2

    This could happen because I "accidentally" force re-formated the OCFS2 volume. The problem I'm facing with is similar to this on the Ocfs2-user mailing list.

    This is also the reason for below error:

    ocfs2_hb_ctl: File not found by ocfs2_lookup while stopping heartbeat

    because ocfs2_hb_ctl cannot find the device with UUID 72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2 in the /proc/partitions.

    One idea comes to my mind: Can I change the UUID of a OCFS2 volume?

    Looking through the tunefs.ocfs2 man page:

    Usage: tunefs.ocfs2 [options] <device> [new-size]
       tunefs.ocfs2 -h|--help
       tunefs.ocfs2 -V|--version
[options] can be any mix of:
        -U|--uuid-reset[=new-uuid]

    so I do the following command:

    # tunefs.ocfs2 --uuid-reset=72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2 /dev/drbd1
WARNING!!! OCFS2 uses the UUID to uniquely identify a file system. 
Having two OCFS2 file systems with the same UUID could, in the least, 
cause erratic behavior, and if unlucky, cause file system damage. 
Please choose the UUID with care.
Update the UUID ?yes

    Verify:

    # tunefs.ocfs2 -Q "%U\n" /dev/drbd1 
72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2

    Tried to kill the heartbeat region again to see what happens:

    # ocfs2_hb_ctl -K -u 72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2
# ocfs2_hb_ctl -I -u 72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2
72EF09EA3D0D4F51BDC00B47432B1EB2: 6 refs

    Keep killing until I see the 0 refs then turn off the cluster:

    # /etc/init.d/o2cb offline cpc
Stopping O2CB cluster cpc: OK

    and stop it:

    # /etc/init.d/o2cb stop
Stopping O2CB cluster cpc: OK
Unloading module "ocfs2": OK
Unmounting ocfs2_dlmfs filesystem: OK
Unloading module "ocfs2_dlmfs": OK

    Re-starting to see if the new node was updated:

    # /etc/init.d/o2cb start
Loading filesystem "configfs": OK
Mounting configfs filesystem at /sys/kernel/config: OK
Loading filesystem "ocfs2_dlmfs": OK

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 26 19:02 SVR233NTC-3145.localdomain

    OK, on the peer node (192.168.2.93), tried to start the OCFS2:

    # /etc/init.d/ocfs2 start
Starting Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2)                [  OK  ]

    Thanks to Sunil Mushran because this thread helped me solve the problem.

    The lessons are:

    1. The IP address, port, ... can be only changed when the cluster is offlined. See the FAQ.
    2. Never force a re-format a OCFS2 volume.
