NFS4 High Availability setup - Container integration **************************************************** This howto describes a NFS4 Only HA service setup using modern OpenSVC features. It has been tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 nodes. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 3 :caption: Content: howto.nfs4ha.cont Prerequisites ============= ========================================== ==================================== Prerequisite Example ========================================== ==================================== 2 nodes | node1 ``5.196.34.132`` | node2 ``5.196.34.133`` ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ A failover ip address for NFS4 server nfsv4.opensvc.com ``5.196.34.141`` ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ Shared storage (san, iscsi, ...) or drbd ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ OpenSVC agent 2.1+ installed ========================================== ==================================== Setup LVM2 ---------- Configure a lvm2 volume group, to host a lvm2 logical volume to use as the drbd backing device :: dnf -y install lvm2 pvcreate /dev/vdb vgcreate datavg /dev/vdb Setup DRBD ---------- Kernel module & utils ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ `Linbit `_ DRBD kernel modules for RHEL are available on `ElRepo `_ :: dnf -y install https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-8.el8.elrepo.noarch.rpm rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org sed -i 's/^mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/' /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo dnf -y install kmod-drbd90 drbd90-utils You can verify that drbd is ready with the command below .. raw:: html
    [root@node1 ~]# modinfo drbd | grep ^version
    version:        9.1.13
    
Setup podman ------------ Install and configure podman for container management on Red Hat systems :: dnf -y install podman podman network create loopback curl -o /etc/cni/net.d/loopback.conflist https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opensvc/opensvc_templates/main/nfs/loopback.conflist mkdir -p /etc/containers/containers.conf.d echo -e '[network]\ndefault_network = "loopback"' > /etc/containers/containers.conf.d/opensvc.loopback.conf .. note:: By default, cni connect a container on the ``podman`` network, and assign an ip addr in the ``10.88.0.0/16`` network. As we expect that the network configuration is managed by the opensvc agent, we configure podman to connect containers on a basic private network namespace with only a loopback ip address Setup OpenSVC ------------- Install OpenSVC ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ **On both nodes** :: dnf -y install python3 python3-cryptography curl -o opensvc-2.1-latest.rpm https://repo.opensvc.com/rpms/2.1/current dnf -y install ./opensvc-2.1-latest.rpm Join cluster nodes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ **On node1** :: [root@node1 ~]# om cluster set --kw hb#1.type=unicast [root@node1 ~]# om cluster set --kw cluster.name=cluster1 [root@node1 ~]# om cluster get --kw cluster.secret b26a1e28b84a11edab28525400d67af6 **On node2** :: [root@node2 ~]# om daemon join --node node1 --secret b26a1e28b84a11edab28525400d67af6 @ n:node2 local node is already frozen join node node1 W local node is left frozen as it was already before join **On node1** Unfreeze nodes and setup root ssh trust:: om node thaw om node update ssh authorized keys --node='*' .. note:: Ensure that you can ssh as root from one node to another without being prompted for a password You should now have a configured cluster, like: .. raw:: html

Setup storage pool ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We configure a cluster storage pool for volume objects automated provisioning. It is a drbd pool backed by a lvm2 volume group. `More setups `_ relying on other technologies are also supported. **On node1** :: om cluster set --kw pool#drbd.type=drbd --kw pool#drbd.vg=datavg --kw pool#drbd.status_schedule=@1 om pool status .. raw:: html
    [root@node1 ~]# om pool status
    name        type       caps                             head                             vols  size    used   free

    [root@node1 ~]# om cluster set --kw pool#drbd.type=drbd --kw pool#drbd.vg=datavg --kw pool#drbd.status_schedule=@1

    [root@node1 ~]# om pool status
    name        type       caps                             head                             vols  size    used   free

    `- shm      shm        rox,rwx,roo,rwo,blk              /dev/shm                         0     906m    84.0k  906m

    
Setup network configuration ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We configure OpenSVC to share CNI configuration path with podman :: om cluster set --kw cni.config="/etc/cni/net.d" Deploy the service ================== Install config map ------------------ We create a config map object ``test/cfg/nfsv4`` to store a ``exports`` key containing the ``/etc/exports`` file. The config map is replicated accross cluster nodes, and injected in the nfs container. :: om test/cfg/nfsv4 create ; curl -o - \ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opensvc/opensvc_templates/main/nfs/etc.exports.conf | \ sed -e 's@ROOTFS@@' | \ om test/cfg/nfsv4 add --key exports --from=- .. note:: The key ``export`` can be modified with the command ``om test/cfg/nfsv4 edit --key exports``. The container is immediately updated with new content. Depending on applications, it may be needed to send signals or restart some process to reflect the change. Deploy with NFS container disabled ---------------------------------- Create the opensvc service using the name ``nfsv4``, in the ``test`` namespace, using a ``5G`` volume provisioned in the ``drbd`` pool, backed by ``datavg`` lvm2 volume group, reachable using the public dns name ``nfsv4.opensvc.com`` configured on interface named ``eth0`` and default gateway ``5.196.34.158`` **On node1** :: om test/svc/nfsv4 deploy \ --config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opensvc/opensvc_templates/main/nfs/nfsv4-container-disabled.conf \ --env size=5G \ --env fqdn=nfsv4.opensvc.com \ --env gateway=5.196.34.158 \ --env nic=eth0 .. note:: The config used in this command has NFS container ressource disabled. Using that trick, we can configure NFS later, and test core (ip, disk, fs) failovers early. This is convenient for tutoring, but in other situations you may want to use `--config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opensvc/opensvc_templates/main/nfs/nfsv4-container.conf` for a one-step deployment. This command creates and configures the system resources needed by the service on both nodes: * OpenSVC volume object ``test/vol/nfsv4.test.svc.cluster1`` * 5GB logical volume in datavg volume group * drbd ressources on both nodes (creation and synchronisation) * ext4 filesystem * OpenSVC service object ``test/svc/nfsv4`` After a few minutes (DRBD synchronisation time), you should end up in this situation: Service object test/svc/nfsv4 status ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. raw:: html

Test the core failover ---------------------- This step is only useful to ensure ip, drbd and filesystem fails over forth and back between nodes, before continuing with the the NFS4 layer setup.

Reboot the node hosting the active service instance. .. warning:: Please note that OpenSVC is not responsible of the NFS4 container image joebiellik/nfs4. It may need adaptations to fit your requirements. You can also change it for another image. Admin Tasks =========== modify exports -------------- You may want to change the nfs exports list using the 2-steps procedure below :: om test/cfg/nfsv4 edit --key exports om test/svc/nfsv4 run --rid task#export .. note:: The agent automatically push the new export file into the container once it is saved on disk. The ``task#export`` ressource execution proceed with the new nfs shares export. network troubleshoot -------------------- If you experience any network issue, you can troubleshoot by entering the container network namespace using ``container#debug``. It has all network tools (netstat, ip, ...) :: om test/svc/nfsv4 enter --rid container#debug
