[DRBD-user] Error message: Failed to create meta-data for DRBD volume

[Daniel Ulman]

Hi Gabor,

> That still means that you have misconfigured DRBD itself or at least the necessary linstor-resources.res

I check and double check my configuration files and I don't see any typo.
The configuration is the same as in your test system, but only in the controller node.
In the satellite nodes, the configuration is slightly different:


cat /etc/drbd.conf
# You can find an example in  /usr/share/doc/drbd.../drbd.conf.example

include "drbd.d/global_common.conf";
include "drbd.d/*.res";


When I run:

drbdadm dump vm-100-disk-1

The output on controller node is:

'vm-100-disk-1' not defined in your config (for this host) 


On the satellite nodes, the dump is correct.

When I run (on controller node):

drbdadm dump vm-100-disk-1 -c /var/lib/linstor.d/vm-100-disk-1.res

Then, I see the dump of the configuration, correctly



Regards,

Daniel

Hello


> Have you tried managing this resource by other means, like by using drbdtop or drbdadm commands ?

Yes, drbdadm always say:

    no resources defined!

despite the resource definition file is there:

    /var/lib/linstor.d/vm-100-disk-1.res

That still means that you have misconfigured DRBD itself or at least the necessary linstor-resources.res 

This is what my testsystems looks like:

# cat /etc/drbd.conf
include "drbd.d/global_common.conf";
include "drbd.d/*.res";
include "/var/lib/drbd.d/*.res";

# cat /etc/drbd.d/linstor-resources.res
# This line was generated by linstor
include "/var/lib/linstor.d/*.res";

# ls /var/lib/linstor.d
linstor_common.conf
testrsc.res


please make sure that you have no typo in any of the mentioned config files.
you said that you already have some resource files in /var/lib/linstor.d (like my "testrsc.res"). If you have configured DRBD properly, you should see even with a stopped linstor something like

# drbdadm status
testrsc role:Secondary
  disk:UpToDate
or if (for whatever reason) someone stopped that resource (or all), you should at least have drbdadm find the corresponding .res file with

# drbdadm dump testrsc
# resource testrsc on bravo: not ignored, not stacked
# defined at /var/lib/linstor.d/testrsc.res:4
resource testrsc {
    template-file /var/lib/linstor.d/linstor_common.conf;
    on bravo {
        node-id 0;
        volume 0 {
            device       minor 1000;
            disk         /dev/scratch/testrsc_00000;
            meta-disk    internal;
        }
    }
    net {
        cram-hmac-alg    sha1;
        shared-secret    "Eimjfr+S8G7e+HNDZMD7";
    }
}
