[Gluster-users] GlusterFS, Pacemaker, OCF resource agents on CentOS 7

Hi guys

I'm wondering if anyone here is using the GlusterFS OCF
resource agents with Pacemaker on CentOS 7?

yum install centos-release-gluster
yum install glusterfs-server glusterfs-resource-agents

The reason I ask is that there seem to be a few problems
with them on 3.10, but these problems are so severe that I'm
struggling to believe I'm not just doing something wrong.

I created my brick (on a volume previously used for DRBD,
thus its name):

mkfs.xfs /dev/cl/lv_drbd -f
mkdir -p /gluster/test_brick
mount -t xfs /dev/cl/lv_drbd /gluster

And then my volume (enabling clients to mount it via NFS):

systemctl start glusterd
gluster volume create logs replica 2 transport tcp
pcmk01-drbd:/gluster/test_brick pcmk02-drbd:/gluster/test_brick
gluster volume start test_logs
gluster volume set test_logs nfs.disable off

And here's where the fun starts.

Firstly, we need to work around bug 1233344* (which was
closed when 3.7 went end-of-life but still seems valid in 3.10):

sed -i
's#voldir="/etc/glusterd/vols/${OCF_RESKEY_volname}"#voldir="/var/lib/glusterd/vols/${OCF_RESKEY_volname}"#'
/usr/lib/ocf/resource.d/glusterfs/volume

With that done, I [attempt to] stop GlusterFS so it can be
brought under Pacemaker control:

systemctl stop glusterfsd
systemctl stop glusterd
umount /gluster

(I usually have to manually kill glusterfs processes at this
point before the unmount works - why does the systemctl stop
not do it?)

With the node in standby (just one is online in this
example, but another is configured), I then set up the
resources:

pcs node standby
pcs resource create gluster_data ocf:heartbeat:Filesystem
device="/dev/cl/lv_drbd" directory="/gluster" fstype="xfs"
pcs resource create glusterd ocf:glusterfs:glusterd
pcs resource create gluster_vol ocf:glusterfs:volume
volname="test_logs"
pcs resource create test_logs ocf:heartbeat:Filesystem \
    device="localhost:/test_logs" directory="/var/log/test"
fstype="nfs" \
   
options="vers=3,tcp,nolock,context=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0"
\
    op monitor OCF_CHECK_LEVEL="20"
pcs resource clone glusterd
pcs resource clone gluster_data
pcs resource clone gluster_vol ordered=true
pcs constraint order start gluster_data-clone then start
glusterd-clone
pcs constraint order start glusterd-clone then start
gluster_vol-clone
pcs constraint order start gluster_vol-clone then start
test_logs
pcs constraint colocation add test_logs with FloatingIp INFINITY

(note the SELinux wrangling - this is because I have a CGI
web application which will later need to read files from the
/var/log/test mount)

At this point, even with the node in standby, it's /already/
failing:

[root at pcmk01 ~]# pcs status
Cluster name: test_cluster
Stack: corosync
Current DC: pcmk01-cr (version 1.1.15-11.el7_3.5-e174ec8) -

Last updated: Thu Dec  7 13:20:41 2017          Last change:

2 nodes and 13 resources configured

Online: [ pcmk01-cr ]
OFFLINE: [ pcmk02-cr ]

Full list of resources:

 FloatingIp     (ocf::heartbeat:IPaddr2):       Started

 test_logs      (ocf::heartbeat:Filesystem):    Stopped
 Clone Set: glusterd-clone [glusterd]
     Stopped: [ pcmk01-cr pcmk02-cr ]
 Clone Set: gluster_data-clone [gluster_data]
     Stopped: [ pcmk01-cr pcmk02-cr ]
 Clone Set: gluster_vol-clone [gluster_vol]
     gluster_vol        (ocf::glusterfs:volume):       
FAILED pcmk01-cr (blocked)
     Stopped: [ pcmk02-cr ]

Failed Actions:
* gluster_data_start_0 on pcmk01-cr 'not configured' (6):
call=72, status=complete, exitreason='DANGER! xfs on
/dev/cl/lv_drbd is NOT cluster-aware!',
    last-rc-change='Thu Dec  7 13:09:28 2017', queued=0ms,
exec=250ms
* gluster_vol_stop_0 on pcmk01-cr 'unknown error' (1):
call=60, status=Timed Out, exitreason='none',
    last-rc-change='Thu Dec  7 12:55:11 2017', queued=0ms,
exec=20004ms



Daemon Status:
  corosync: active/enabled
  pacemaker: active/enabled
  pcsd: active/enabled

1. The data mount can't be created? Why?
2. Why is there a volume "stop" command being attempted, and
why does it fail?
3. Why is any of this happening in standby? I can't have the
resources failing before I've even made the node live! I
could understand why a gluster_vol start operation would
fail when glusterd is (correctly) stopped, but why is there
a *stop* operation? And why does that make the resource
"blocked"?

Given the above steps, is there something fundamental I'm
missing about how these resource agents should be used? How
do *you* configure GlusterFS on Pacemaker?

Any advice appreciated.
