[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.3.0 and VMware ESXi 5

Tue Jun 26 17:13:29 UTC 2012

Yeah, that's quiet annoying on 3.3
I've run into the same problem when trying to re-create a volume made of the same disks that I couldn't get rid of even using these commands, so I ended up replacing the physical disks and re-creating the partition.
Even when you do a Delete on the volume it seems to run into the same trouble.

Honestly, I've been trying to reset this volume completely to see if the error was transitional but now getting the '/gfs or a prefix of it is already part of a volume' message even after removing the attributes from the directory... lots of changes in this version to watch out for :(

setfattr -x trusted.gfid /gfs

setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.volume-id /gfs

setfattr -x trusted.afr.gfs-vdi-client-0 /gfs

setfattr -x trusted.afr.gfs-vdi-client-1 /gfs

setfattr -x trusted.glusterfs.dht /gfs

Many Rgds,

Simon

Is this at the same 'time' as  before (at the time for VM boot), or does it actually progress a little more (i.e, "start booting") and then throw up? It will be helpful if we move this discussion to bugzilla and you provide trace logs.

Hi Avati,

Thanks. I just tried a recompile (I'd installed from RPM before) and brought up the volume again. I now get a similar but different message:

An unexpected error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM vm-26944.
Failed to power on VM.
Could not power on VM : Not found.
Failed to create swap file '/gfs/gfs-test1/./gfs-test1-d27c6ac2.vswp' : Not found

I only modified the first brick node which is where I'm pointing the ESXi server as NFS client. Do I need to modify all nodes like this?

Many Thanks!

Simon

Fernando,
  Yes, to try the patch you need to install from source. We will include the patch in the next release if you need RPMs.

Hi Avati,

How I suppose to apply the patch if I have installed the RPM version ? Should I have a compiled from source installed instead ?

Regards,

Fernando

I'm having the same error deploying a green field ESXi 5.0 farm against
GlusterFS 3.3. Can provision a VM but can't start it with the identical error:

Unable to retrieve the current working directory: 0 (No such file or directory).
Check if the directory has been deleted or unmounted.

Is GlusterFS supported against VMware or should I be looking somewhere else?
