Reimage and clone db1072
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

db1072 is broken and data isn't trustable anymore.
We should reimage it and clone it from another host with the correct schema and data.

Event Timeline

We should take the opportunity, now that it is depooled, to move it to another rack as all the API hosts for s1 are on D1, including this host.
We can move it to B2 for instance.

Not sure why it says it failed, as it was done correctly as per all the logs.

It got rebooted finely and:

Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 (jessie)
Release:	8.7
Codename:	jessie
marostegui@db1066:~$ uname -r
4.4.0-3-amd64

Which is exactly the same version and kernel that a host that got reimaged last week (db1066) got.
It even got the latest mariadb package that was built (wmf-mariadb10 10.0.29-2)

So I believe this reimage is actually fine.

db-eqiad.php: Depool db1073

I've seen this once or twice during the app server reimages as well. IIRC it was related to a race in adding the salt key and difficult to fix in the current design of wmf-auto-reimage.

Thanks for the heads up :-)
As I said, to me it looked fine, but it is good to know that this is not the first time it happens!

Thanks again

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2017-01-31T07:49:45Z] <marostegui> Reboot db1072 to force BBU recharge - T156226

Yesterday I recloned db1072 but it has not been able to catch up with the master whereas db1073 (the server it was recloned from) had no problems.
In order to test if the storage was the bottleneck I switched to 0 innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit and the server started to slowly catch up.

All the disks looked fine and no media errors, or possible degradation, so I started to check the RAID controller itself and noticed this:

root@db1072:~# megacli -LDInfo -L0 -a0 | grep "Current Cache Policy:"
Current Cache Policy: WriteThrough, ReadAheadNone, Direct, No Write Cache if Bad BBU

My initial reaction was to check if the BBU was there and was on a healthy state and doesn't look so:

root@db1072:~# megacli -AdpBbuCmd -GetBbuStatus -a0 | grep -e '^isSOHGood' -e '^Charger Status' -e '^Remaining Capacity' -e 'Charging'
  Charging Status              : None
Charger Status: Unknown
Remaining Capacity: 599 mAh
isSOHGood: Yes

This is the output of a server that was recently moved to another rack:

root@db1054:~# megacli -AdpBbuCmd -GetBbuStatus -a0 | grep -e '^isSOHGood' -e '^Charger Status' -e '^Remaining Capacity' -e 'Charging'
  Charging Status              : None
Charger Status: Complete
Remaining Capacity: 554 mAh
isSOHGood: Yes

There is also the issue with temperature on db1072.

root@db1072:~# megacli -AdpBbuCmd  -a0 | grep Tempe
Temperature: 78 C
  Temperature                             : High

db1073 (the host db1072 was cloned from):

root@db1073:~# megacli -AdpBbuCmd  -a0 | grep Tempe
Temperature: 53 C
  Temperature                             : OK

And another host:

root@db1054:~#  megacli -AdpBbuCmd  -a0 | grep Tempe
Temperature: 53 C
  Temperature                             : OK

I have tried to change the Policy status on the fly to see if the controller would complain about no BBU present (or in a bad state) but it didn't:

root@db1072:~# megacli -LDSetProp WB -LALL -aALL

Set Write Policy to WriteBack on Adapter 0, VD 0 (target id: 0) success

Exit Code: 0x00

I have forced a relearn cycle before and after a reboot, but it doesn't work:

root@db1072:~#  megacli -AdpBbuCmd -BbuLearn -aALL -NoLog

Adapter 0: BBU Learn Failed

Exit Code: 0x01

@Cmjohnson can we re-seat the battery cables? I can power down the server for you when you are around.
Thanks!

Looks like forcing it to be WriteBack works (but it is bad anyways if the BBU is really broken):

root@db1072:~# megacli -LDSetProp -ForcedWB -Immediate -Lall -aAll

Set Write Policy to Forced WriteBack on Adapter 0, VD 0 (target id: 0) success

Exit Code: 0x00

I will leave it like that to help the server to catch up until @Cmjohnson is on site (if we have bad luck and the server crashes we can reclone it, it is not pooled anyways).

The BBU looks good now and has been charging and now fully charged:

root@db1072:~# megacli -AdpBbuCmd -GetBbuStatus -a0 | grep -e '^isSOHGood' -e '^Charger Status' -e '^Remaining Capacity' -e 'Charging'
  Charging Status              : None
Charger Status: Complete
Remaining Capacity: 539 mAh
isSOHGood: Yes

I have set the policy back to WriteThrough when the BBU fails:

root@db1072:~# megacli -LDInfo -LAll -aAll | grep "Cache Policy:"
Default Cache Policy: WriteBack, ReadAheadNone, Direct, No Write Cache if Bad BBU
Current Cache Policy: WriteBack, ReadAheadNone, Direct, No Write Cache if Bad BBU

Server has caught up and tomorrow I will slowly pool it in to see how it behaves.
Thanks @Cmjohnson
