Clustering with version 2.6

Guest · Thu Mar 17, 2005 3:35 pm

Hello. I recently downloaded a trial version of your latest version to test a windows 2000 cluster. I am running it to trouble. When I tried the setup with 2.4, I could set chap mutual auth with the same target login and password for both machines just with different node names and have them both login and use the drive for quorum. Now when I try the same approach, I can't authenticate both nodes. The only way I am able to have both nodes use the same image drive, is to change the target login names to login1 and login2 and authenicate both nodes with different target logins, and node logins. When I do this, I can mount the drive from both nodes but the drive is not being shared even though "-clustered" switch is used. If I add a file from one node it will not show up on the second node which means quourm fails.

Hi,

Please send me your StarWind service log file (from \logs subdirectory) and StarWind.conf file.

You can't implement clustering without using -clustered:yes for the ImageFile target. (BTW the recent StarWind version allows setting the parameter from the StarWind GUI)

Does the clustering work without any CHAP authentification or with client authentification only?
(It's possible to create several CHAP permission rules for a single target, so you need not use the same names/secrets for both machines).

The images and permissions were all set through the GUI and in the config it created it is -clustered:"yes" not -clustered:yes

I havent tried it without but I have tried it with client only. In client only I can obviously login with the same target login but the disk is still not shared so quorum does not work.

The following is the current config and log file for a client only connection.

# This file contains list of SCSI devices that will be accessible to iSCSI.
# The device name should be placed in the first column followed by the target name.

---------------------------------------

Authorization fails on the second node... I can only guess that the second auth request is trying to authorize against the 1st nodes permissions and fails because the node login name is incorrect. At the second node initiator all I get is a authorization failed error.

Val (staff) · Thu Mar 17, 2005 9:20 pm

Please look at the following line in the mutual auth logs:

17:28:35:952 (4f8) T[0x1]: *ERROR* Authentication failed. Name 'quourm' not found in allowed names list.
17:28:35:952 (634) C[0x1113], IN_LOGIN: Event - LOGIN_REJECT.

Maybe you simply mistyped the name (quorum) in the second machine's settings?

For the initiator only auth mode, do you mean clustering doesn't work with it?
According to the logs I see the first machine mounts ImageFile0 before ImageFile1. But the other machine mounts ImageFile1 first.
This could lead to the situation where ImageFIle0 is \\.\PhysicalDrive1 on for the first machine, but it is \\.\PhysicalDrive2 for the second.

Could you try to set up your MS initiator to mount the targets in the same order?

Sorry that was the wrong log file and an answer to your question would be... in initiator auth mode quorum does not work.

I started from scratch by reverting to the oringial config file, recreated the image file (mksparse) and then reconfiguring the initiators to connect using "quorum" as both logins names with the node logins as login1 and login2. I can now connect from both but the drive is not shared so quorum is still broken.

As the target is mounted by the cluster machines, it's all right with iSCSI.

I guess you need to set up your cluster correctly.

Please take a look at the followin topic for a short step-by-step instruction how to build a MS cluster with a StarWind-based quorum disk.

I havent even tried setting up the cluster at this point. I can tell that the drive is not shared by opening the drive on server1 and creating a file and then opening the drive on server2... hhmmm no file. I can then add a new file on server2 and look on server1... hmmm no second file. the only time the drives are ever the same on either machine is on reboot where the image file is read and the drive is mounted for the first time.

Did not get the idea... Are you trying to share hard disk at block level in read-write mode?

It's definitely OK to see the behaviour that you described.
The ISCSI links work good, the problem is the standard Windows filesystems don't support sharing of a physical drive.

In other words, anyway iSCSI can't be used for simple sharing disk targets between 2+ PCs without using additional software, otherwise the volume's data will be corrupted.

To use the remote disk as a shared storage you need to install a SAN filesystem on both client machines (FYI SFS from DataPlow works good with StarWind's targets).

But to setup a MS cluster you need to follow the manual I've pointed to at the previous post.

FYI in the MS clustering model only one of the cluster's nodes has complete access to shared resources. The other nodes are locked while the main node is up and running. In case of the main node's failure the other custer node obtain ownership over the cluster's resources and so on.

Simply try to setup clustering. I guess it should work without problems.

Please let us know about the results.

Quourm relies on the ability to keep quorum logs updated among all the nodes... if node1 writes a change to the quorum drive it needs to be available to ALL the nodes in the cluster. If the drive is not shared with read write access, how can any node in the cluster other than the 1st node be kept up to date?

I followed your guide the very 1st time with version 2.4 and it worked fine. My cluster setup is not any different then it was last week with the exception that I am using version 2.6 (I used the exact same steps for setup with both). I need to use version 2.6 simply because it has support for the image file to live on another drive not in the starwind images directory (I have multiple disks that need to be used by the cluster).

Which step exactly is failing? For now it seems to me you just have read-write access enabled but true clustering (blocking) services are not working. Are you sure you have properly configures third-party software?

Nothing changed in StarWind's ImageFile clustering support module since version 2.4.x.

You recreated the quorum disk, right? The cluster was already installed and worked good?

I guess there should be some steps to initialize the new quorum disk to make it accessible from your cluster machines.
If you just create a new ImageFile disk and substitute it for the old one, the cluster will not work because it need the disk to be initialized before.

Please look at the MS clustering guide for more details how to change the quorum disk.
