[lustre-discuss] Error messages (ex: not available for connect from 0 at lo) on server boot with Lustre 2.15.3 and 2.15.4-RC1

[Audet, Martin]

Hello Lustre community,


Have someone ever seen messages like these on in "/var/log/messages" on a Lustre server ?


Dec  1 11:26:30 vlfs kernel: Lustre: Lustre: Build Version: 2.15.4_RC1
Dec  1 11:26:30 vlfs kernel: LDISKFS-fs (sdd): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: errors=remount-ro,no_mbcache,nodelalloc
Dec  1 11:26:30 vlfs kernel: LDISKFS-fs (sdc): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: errors=remount-ro,no_mbcache,nodelalloc
Dec  1 11:26:30 vlfs kernel: LDISKFS-fs (sdb): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: user_xattr,errors=remount-ro,no_mbcache,nodelalloc
Dec  1 11:26:36 vlfs kernel: LustreError: 137-5: lustrevm-MDT0000_UUID: not available for connect from 0 at lo (no target). If you are running an HA pair check that the target is mounted on the other server.
Dec  1 11:26:36 vlfs kernel: Lustre: lustrevm-OST0001: Imperative Recovery not enabled, recovery window 300-900
Dec  1 11:26:36 vlfs kernel: Lustre: lustrevm-OST0001: deleting orphan objects from 0x0:227 to 0x0:513


This happens on every boot on a Lustre server named vlfs (a AlmaLinux 8.9 VM hosted on a VMware) playing the role of both MGS and OSS (it hosts an MDT two OST using "virtual" disks). We chose LDISKFS and not ZFS. Note that this happens at every boot, well before the clients (AlmaLinux 9.3 or 8.9 VMs) connect and even when the clients are powered off. The network connecting the clients and the server is a "virtual" 10GbE network (of course there is no virtual IB). Also we had the same messages previously with Lustre 2.15.3 using an AlmaLinux 8.8 server and AlmaLinux 8.8 / 9.2 clients (also using VMs). Note also that we compile ourselves the Lustre RPMs from the sources from the git repository. We also chose to use a patched kernel. Our build procedure for RPMs seems to work well because our real cluster run fine on CentOS 7.9 with Lustre 2.12.9 and IB (MOFED) networking.

So has anyone seen these messages ?

Are they problematic ? If yes, how do we avoid them ?

We would like to make sure our small test system using VMs works well before we upgrade our real cluster.

Thanks in advance !
