This update introduces mtce changes to support Active-Active Heartbeating. The purpose of Active-Active Heartbeating is help avoid Split-Brain. Active-Active heartbeating has each controller maintain a 5 second heartbeat response history cache of each network for all monitored hosts as well as the on-going health of storage-0 if provisioned and enabled. This is referred to as the 'heartbeat cluster history' Each controller then includes its cluster history in each heartbeat pulse request message. The hbsClient, now modified to handle heartbeat from both controllers, saves each controllers' heartbeat cluster history in a local cache and criss-crosses the data in its pulse responses. So when the hbsClient receives a pulse request from controller-0 it saves its reported history and then replaces that history information in its response to controller-0 with what it saved from controller-1's last pulse request ; i.e. its view of the system. Controller-0, receiving a host's pulse response, saves its peers heartbeat cluster history so that it has summary of heartbeat cluster history for the last 5 seconds for each monitored network of every monitored host in the system from both controllers' perspectives. Same for controller-1 with controller-0's history. The hbsAgent is then further enhanced to support a query request for this information. So now SM, when it needs to make a decision to avoid Split-Brain or otherwise, can query either controller for its heartbeat cluster history and get the last 5 second summary view of heartbeat (network) responsivness from both controllers perspectives to help decide which controller to make active. This involved removing the hbsAgent process from SM control and monitor and adding a new hbsAgent LSB init script for process launch, service file to run the init script and pmon config file for hbsAgent process monitoring. With hbsAgent now running on both controllers, changes to maintenance were required to send inventory to hbsAgent on both controllers, listen for hbsAgent event messages over the management interface and inform both hbsAgents which controller is active. The hbsAgent running on the inactive controller does not - does not send heartbeat events to maintenance - does not send raise or clear alarms or produce customer logs Test Plan: Feature: PASS: Verify hbsAgent runs on both controllers PASS: Verify hbsAgent as pmon monitored process (not SM) PASS: Verify system install and cluster collection in all system types (10+) PASS: Verify active controller hbsAgent detects and handles heartbeat loss PASS: Verify inactive controller hbsAgent detects and logs heartbeat loss PASS: Verify heartbeat cluster history collection functions properly. PASS: Verify storage-0 state tracking in cluster into. PASS: Verify storage-0 not responding handling PASS: Verify heartbeat response is sent back to only the requesting controller. PASS: Verify heartbeat history is correct from each controller PASS: Verify MNFA from active controller after install to controller-0 PASS: Verify MNFA from active controller after swact to controller-1 PASS: Verify MNFA for 80%+ of the hosts in the storage system PASS: Verify SM cluster query operation and content from both controllers PASS: Verify restart of inactive hbsAgent doesn't clear existing heartbeat alarms Logging: PASS: Verify cluster info logs. PASS: Verify feature design logging. PASS: Verify hbsAgent and hbsClient design logs on all hosts add value PASS: Verify design logging from both controllers in heartbeat loss case PASS: Verify design logging from both controllers in MNFA case PASS: Verify clog logs cluster info vault status and updates for controllers PASS: Verify clog1 logs full cluster state change for all hosts PASS: Verify clog2 logs cluster info save/append logs for controllers PASS: Verify clog3 memory dumps a cluster history PASS: Verify USR2 forces heartbeat and cluster info log dump PASS: Verify hourly heartbeat and cluster info log dump PASS: Verify loss events force heartbeat and cluster info log dump Regression: PASS: Verify Large System DOR PASS: Verify pmond regression test that now includes hbsAgent PASS: Verify Lock/Unlock of inactive controller (x3) PASS: Verify Swact behavior (x10) PASS: Verify compute Lock/Unlock PASS: Verify storage-0 Lock/Unlock PASS: Verify compute Host Failure and Graceful Recovery PASS: Verify Graceful Recovery Retry to Max:3 then Full Enable PASS: Verify Delete Host PASS: Verify Patching hbsAgent and hbsClient PASS: Verify event driven cluster push Story: 2003576 Task: 24907 Change-Id: I5baf5bcca23601a99473d039356d58250ffb01b5 Signed-off-by: Eric MacDonald <eric.macdonald@windriver.com> |
