Hey there!
I've got a pair of NetApp 940c heads that are exporting LUNs out
to a bunch of FreeBSD hosts with qla2312 cards in them over a Brocade
2850 FC switch. Everything works great until I test out standby
cluster failover on the NetApps. To quote NetApp's manual:
"Port A on each target HBA operates as the active port, and Port B
operates as a standby port. When the cluster is in normal operation,
Port A provides access to local LUNs, and Port B is not available to
the initiator. When one filer fails, Port B on the partner filer
becomes active and provides access to the LUNs on the failed filer.
The Port B assumes the WWPN of the Port A on the failed partner."
So, to me, it sounds like this _should_ work for our FreeBSD
hosts, which don't support multipathing, and thus must use this sort
of failover. When the failover happens, the WWPN moves over to port
B on the other head, perhaps a link reset happens or something, and
everything keeps going. Well, it turns out that this is only partly
true. If there is no I/O happening during the swap, then everything
does seem to work out fine. But if there is I/O going on, then
things quickly go downhill. I see this:
May 28 19:35:56 toc2-db1 /kernel: (da0:isp0:0:1:0): Invalidating pack
May 28 19:35:58 toc2-db1 /kernel: (da0:isp0:0:1:0): Invalidating pack
May 28 19:36:50 toc2-db1 /kernel: (da0:isp0:0:1:0): isp0: watchdog
timeout for handle 0x1f3
After this, sometimes the system locks up completely, and
sometimes the system is operational, but anything that has to do with
the filesystem in question hangs, etc.
So here's my question: Is this something that we can make
work? I really don't know all that much about the lower levels of
how Fibre-Channel and the isp driver work, but it sounds like this
ought to work. Is there anybody out there who knows more about the
driver who might be willing to work on this? I can't guarantee
anything, but our company does support FreeBSD development, and we
might be able to swing some cash towards somebody who would be able
to make this work. Is there anything else that I can include to help
figure out what is going wrong? Below, I include dmesg from one of
the hosts so you can see what sort of system is running this, but if
you've got more things that I can do to diagnose this, let me know.
Thanks, and have fun!
