Hi Eric,

Thank you very much! Sure, I will monitor the two LPs. Once they are resolved, I will recheck my LP.

Thanks.

Yi

Hi  Yi,

Seems like your issue is a duplicate of another LP that both myself and one of my colleagues are (currently) working on a fix for.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1815969

The above LP requires the following LP that I’m working on a fix for before it can be delivered.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1835268

Please retest once the above 2 LP’s have updates delivered against them.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

I retested it. And here is all the information you requested. I uploaded them to my google drive. Below is the link.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LiCgPz5iS3SApb0Em8ZyA56lryAU-3Vm

I conducted two tests. For case 1, the system can recover. For case 2, it can’t.

Case 1: pull the active controller management cable for longer than 30s, and then reinsert it

Case 2: pull the active controller management cable for less than 30s, and then reinsert it

For case 2, since controller-1 was shown as “offline” on controller-0. “collect all” can’t get the information of controller-1. So I copied the whole folder “/var/log” of controller-1. It is included in the shared zip package. If you need more information, let me know. Thanks for your help again!

Thanks.

Yi

Hi Eric,

Thank you, Eric! I will collect all the information and get back to you soon.

I confirm that I physically pulled the cable.

Thanks.

Please perform both cases and for each

- indicate what cables/interfaces were pulled

- indicate what hosts the cables were pulled from

- indicate approximate timestamp of when the cable was pulled

- indicate approximate timestamp of when the cable was reinserted

- Run ‘collect all’ and provide me access to the collect tarball

Also, just to be sure … please confirm that you are physically pulling the cable and not just ifdowning the interface.

Eric.

Hi Eric,

I am working on the LP 1815513. Based on my tests, if I unplug the cable of active controller for management network for a long time (for example, 30s), and then plug it, the whole system can recover after some reboots. But if I unplug the cable for a short time, and then plug it. The whole system can’t recover. I need to lock/unlock controllers manually to bring the system back. So my questions are:

1. Is the behavior acceptable? (recover the system by manual lock/unlock operations)

2. If the answer is no for #1, we need the system to recover automatically. I am not familiar with internal maintenance logics, could you give me some hints?

Thanks.

Yi
