RAID0 disk failure on slave host 3 years 9 months ago #2070

ajmind Topic Author Offline Posts: 74	Hello Salvatore, one of our HA-Lizard 2node Cluster had a disk failure of the iSCSI DRDB storage. As a result the slave node is now in diskless state. The failing disk was replaced but all data on the local LVM device is gone as it was configured as RAID0. Have you any advise what would be the best approach after the reboot of the slave? BR Andreas

There are a couple of possibilities here:

1) The new RAID volume has been mapped to a different path in /dev. If this is the case, your DRBD config would be off making it impossible to attach the disk. Make sure your mapping in /dev matches /etc/drbd.conf

2) After the disk failure, DRBD may have automatically detached the disk. You can try to manually attach (assuming the DRBD device is iscsi1 - change the name accordingly when running the below on the slave).

drbdadm detach iscsi1
drbdadm connect iscsi1
drbdadm attach iscsi1
service drbd restart

3) If all else fails, we ship a script that can recover from most DRBD connection issues. The script can be found in /etc/iscsi-ha-scripts/drbd-sb-tool

*** Be careful when running this. You will be prompted to select a survivor/donor host. It is advisable to backup all of your VMs before running. If you don't have a backup tool, we provide one in /etc/ha-lizard/scripts/vm_backup.sh. You can run the following for full documentation.

/etc/ha-lizard/scripts/vm_backup.sh --help
