[jira] [Commented] (CLOUDSTACK-7184) HA should wait for at least 'xen.heartbeat.interval' sec before starting HA on vm's when host is marked down

["Daan Hoogland (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7184?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14076195#comment-14076195 ] 

Daan Hoogland commented on CLOUDSTACK-7184:
-------------------------------------------

after investigation of /opt/cloud/bin/xenheartbeat.sh: xen(server).heartbeat.interval is being used as timout in the scripts. CloudStack passes two parameters and leaves out the second (instead of the third).

During a heartbeat event Cloudstack honors no timeout before respinning any vms on the absent host. This gives the host no chance to fence.

We need to add a timeout to pass to the heartbeat script and to let cloudstack postpone starting HA jobs that are the result of the absent host.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the default.) 
>          Components: Hypervisor Controller, Management Server, XenServer
>    Affects Versions: 4.3.0, 4.4.0, 4.5.0
>         Environment: CloudStack 4.3 with XenServer 6.2 hypervisors
>            Reporter: Remi Bergsma
>            Priority: Blocker

> Hypervisor got isolated for 30 seconds due to a network issue. CloudStack did discover this and marked the host as down, and immediately started HA. Just 18 seconds later the hypervisor returned and we ended up with 5 vm's that were running on two hypervisors at the same time. 
> This, of course, resulted in file system corruption and the loss of the vm's. One side of the story is why XenServer allowed this to happen (will not bother you with this one). The CloudStack side of the story: HA should only start after at least xen.heartbeat.interval seconds. If the host is down long enough, the Xen heartbeat script will fence the hypervisor and prevent corruption. If it is not down long enough, nothing should happen.
