[pve-devel] ZFS plugin: Patch to solve issue with nexenta

Good idea!


I have found an api to sync lun, maybe it can help

http://www.nexenta.com/static/NexentaStor-API.html#com.nexenta.nms.Lun::lunsync 


(because lun mapping though nexenta api can be slow too with a big number of lun, I'll to no use them, but only do a resync)

Hi,

But It doesn't help for the gui error 

My understanding is that nexenta generate a cache somewhere, and something it's not filled 

some log: 

Nov 06 17:03:09 (1:1.5) EXCEPTION: ObjectNotFound: ScsiDiskContainer::list_lun_mapping_entries(MainPool/vm-296-disk-7): Unable to locate the specified zvol 'MainPool/vm-296-disk-7' 

2013-11-06 17:10:08,255 nza ERROR com.nexenta.nms::/Root/Stmf/ScsiDisk::list_lun_mapping_entries(dbus.String(u'MainPool/vm-296-disk-9')): com.nexenta.nms.ObjectNotFound: Unable to locate the specified zvol 'MainPool/vm-296-disk-9' 



after waiting some minutes, or rlauching the nms service (webgui service) (#svcadm restart nms) 

It's working again 

(The module is in python, but closed sources, compiled .pyc, I can't see w
 hat it
is doing) 


restarting nms stop the web gui for some minutes, 

but in the logs it's showing: 
Nov 06 17:28:15 Starting... 
Nov 06 17:28:15 Syncing devices... 
Nov 06 17:28:22 Syncing LUNs... 

So I think it's rebuild the luns cache or something similar 


I'll try to find an easy way to reload this cache. (through ssh command)

I'll try tomorrow ! 


If the sol
 ution
works it will cause no problems to only use 11 digits 
when naming a lun since max luns per target is limited to 2^14 or 16384 
and using 11 hex digits is an astronomic large number 11^16
