[pve-devel] nexenta rollback problems.

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

response from nexenta: 


Hello, 

Your case # 00014435: commstar : keep the disk guid after unmap/remap a lun (sa-api) has been updated as follows: 

Alexandre, 

There is no way to do this via SA-API . 

The only way to do it is via bash you as mentioned . 

#stmfadm create-lu -p guid=* LUN GUID* /dev/rdsk/... 

Please test it out if it works for your use. 

Best regards, Abhishek

mmm, maybe, need to be tested. (my nexenta test box is down for now, I'll can test it not before friday). 

I found an article here 
COMSTAR: Keeping GUID's with a new Backend Device 
https://www.illumos.org/boards/1/topics/639 

it seem to be possible to specify the guid with stmfadm command 
(with ssh, and not the nexenta api, so I don't know if it's break the nexenta view of the luns) 

stmfadm create-lu -p guid=*LUN GUID* /dev/rdsk/... 



I'll tell the question to nexenta support.

Seems import_lu does the trick. Do you think that will work? 

sub nexenta_import_lu { 
my ($scfg, $zvol) = @_; 

nexenta_request($scfg, 'import_lu', 'scsidisk', "$scfg->{pool}/$zvol"); 
} 

sub volume_snapshot_rollback { 
my ($class, $scfg, $storeid, $volname, $snap) = @_; 

nexenta_delete_lu($scfg, $volname); 

nexenta_request($scfg, 'rollback', 'snapshot', "$scfg->{pool}/$volname\@$snap", ''); 

nexenta_import_lu($scfg, $volname); 

nexenta_add_lun_mapping_entry($scfg, $volname); 
}
