在多节点群集中同步emcpower设备符

在多节点群集中同步emcpower设备符

1) 环境介绍

OS：redhat enterprise Linux 4.6 x86 Cluster:RHCS （2 nodes）

多路径软件：emc powerpath 5.1 for linux Storage:EMC AX4-5 EMC CX300

Ax4-5有一个LUN映射给主机，CX300有两个LUN映射给主机

2) 故障描述

在磁阵上配置好LUN映射后，先后重新两节点服务器。两节点都认到所映射存储单元（LUN）。运行fdisk –l查看LUN在主机（OS）看到的设备名。发现两节点认到的设备名不一致。其中，node1认到emcpowera、emcpowerc、emcpowerd；node2认到emcpowera、emcpowerb、emcpowerc；根据所划分空间的大小，可知其中node1 emcpowera对应node2 emcpowera，node1 emcpowerc对应node2 emcpowerb，node1 emcpowerd对应node2 emcpowerc。

由于两节点要做cluster，在群集中配置共享存储时，要求两节点对识别到的LUN要有相同的设备名。

3) 分析排错

Node2识别到的盘符是对的；node1有问题，不知道为何把emcpowerb搞没了。 在node1上执行powermt display dev=all

emcpadm getfreepseudos –n 5发现node1的emcpowerb并在列表中。

由于业务系统上线在即，没有更多的时间去考虑和分析。当时想到两种思路，一是删除node1上识别到的路径，重启机器看看是否能解决；二是，将node2的盘符手动修改为和node1一样。

排错思路一操作：

powermt remove dev=all //删除当前认到的路径 powermt config //路径重认 powermt display dev=all reboot

问题依然存在，没有得到解决；

排错思路二操作： 在node2上操作

emcpadm getfreepseudos //发现emcpowerd 可用； emcpadm –s emcpowerc –t emcpowerd emcpadm –s emcpowerb –t emcpowerc powermt save Reboot

至此，两节点都认到emcpowera,emcpowerc,emcpowerd，问题解决。

4) 结论

由于node1之前做测试时，曾有emcpowerb存在过，在移走该设备后， powerpath配置数据库未能及时更新。导致emcpowerb表现为占用。

后续我找了相关的文章，发现通过强制删除powerpath配置的文件方式尝试进行解决。操作步骤如下： 停止powerpath服务

/etc/init.d/PowerPath stop 保存当前配置文件的备份

# cp /etc/powermt.custom /etc/powermt.custom.old_config

# cp /etc/emcp_devicesDB.dat /etc/emcp_devicesDB.dat.old_config # cp /etc/emcp_devicesDB.idx /etc/emcp_devicesDB.idx.old_config 删除powerpath相关配置文件

# rm /etc/powermt.custom /etc/emcp_devicesDB.dat /etc/emcp_devicesDB.idx 重启powerpath服务 # /etc/init.d/PowerPath start 保持powerpath配置 # powermt save

powermt用法 Usage:

powermt [class=all|clariion|ess|hitachi|hphsx|hpxp|invista|symm]

powermt check [force] [hba=|all] [dev=|all] powermt check_registration powermt config

powermt disable hba= powermt [class=invista|all]

[width=<#col>]

powermt display [ports] [dev=|all] [every=<#seconds>] [width=<#col>] powermt display hba_mode

powermt display latency [dev=|all] [every=<#seconds>] [width=<#col>] powermt display options

powermt display paths [every=<#seconds>] [width=<#col>] powermt display port_mode powermt display unmanaged powermt enable hba= powermt load [file=]

powermt manage {dev= | class=} powermt release

powermt remove [force] hba=|all | dev=|all powermt restore [hba=|all] [dev=|all] powermt save [file=]

powermt set mode=active|standby [hba=|all] [dev=|all] powermt set path_latency_monitor=on|off powermt set path_latency_threshold= powermt set periodic_autorestore=on|off

powermt set policy={ad|bf|co|lb|li|nr|re|rr|so|si} [dev=|all] powermt set port_disable={true|false} dev= powermt set priority= [dev=|all]

display

nonvirtual

{dev=|all}

[every=<#seconds>]

powermt unmanage {dev= | class=} powermt update lun_names

powermt version [format={verbose|legacy}] Emcpadm用法 Usage:

Pseudo device/LU mappings: --------------------------

emcpadm check_mappings [-v] -f emcpadm export_mappings -f emcpadm import_mappings [-v] -f emcpadm print_mappings [-p| -f ] Pseudo device/LU renaming: --------------------------

emcpadm getfreepseudos [-n <# of pseudo devices>] [-b ]

emcpadm getfreepseudos [-n <# of pseudo devices>] [-b ] emcpadm getusedpseudos

emcpadm renamepseudo -s -t emcpadm renamepseudo -s -t Other: ------

emcpadm help emcpadm version root cause 1：

In some cases, during installation of PowerPath and device reconfiguration, a server may skip a few \devices due to devices that were removed. PowerPath keeps track of devices and makes sure that the emcpower device names remains the same regardless of the underlying Linux /dev/sd# device. Fix:（steps for powerpath 4.x）

1) Make sure all I/O is stopped and all of the file systems to the array are unmounted.

2) Stop PowerPath # /etc/init.d/PowerPath stop

3) Make a backup copy of the current PowerPath custom file just in case # cp /etc/powermt.custom /etc/powermt.custom.old_config

4) Make a backup copy of the current PowerPath config dat file...just in case # cp /etc/emcp_devicesDB.dat /etc/emcp_devicesDB.dat.old_config

5) Make a backup copy of the current PowerPath config idx file...just in case # cp /etc/emcp_devicesDB.idx /etc/emcp_devicesDB.idx.old_config

6) Remove the old config files # rm /etc/powermt.custom /etc/emcp_devicesDB.dat /etc/emcp_devicesDB.idx

7) Remove the /etc/emc/archive directory. # rm –r /etc/emc/arvhive 8) Start PowerPath # /etc/init.d/PowerPath start 9) Save the new configuration # powermt save

In some cases with PowerPath 4.x this process will clean up the PowerPath devices but they still will not be discovered in Bus-Target-LUN order so if you are trying to synchronize emcpower device numbers between two cluster nodes it may not work. In this case it is recommended that you present the devices to the node one at a time in the order you want them to appear.

root cause 2：

Devices were not added to the nodes in the same order Fix:（steps for powerpath 4.x）

Use the emcpadm command to change the emcpower pseudo devices to the desired names.

In order to %used.

1）Use the command below in order to determine the emcpower devices that are already in use
