MDM to cluster, MDM role is not a Slave but a Tie-Breaker,

Hello,

litte mistake, after uninstall mdm from cluster, i need to readd the mdm to cluster.

I wanted to upgrade from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, but then I fixed the scaleio in the trialversion is not yet available.

What have i do:

- uninstalled emc software from node 1

- switched to one node cluster

root@esther02:~# scli --query_cluster

Cluster:

    Mode: 1_node, State: Normal, Active: 1/1, Replicas: 1/1

Master MDM:

    Name: Manager2, ID: 0x210c0653683e7121

        IPs: 192.168.12.11, Management IPs: 192.168.12.11, Port: 9011

        Version: 2.0.7120

- installed mdm

MDM_IP=192.168.12.10,192.168.12.15 dpkg -i EMC-ScaleIO-mdm-2.0-7120.0.Ubuntu.14.04.x86_64.deb

root@esther02:~# scli --add_standby_mdm --new_mdm_ip 192.168.12.10 --mdm_role manager --new_mdm_management_ip 192.168.12.10 --approve_certificate --force_clean

You are about to clear previous configuration on this MDM. Press 'y' and then Enter to confirm.y

Error: MDM failed command.  Status: MDM role is not a Slave but a Tie-Breaker

He says the mdm is a tie-breaker. Here I know no further, Tie-Breaker was in the cluster the 192.168.12.13.

I will reconnect the mdm to 3 node cluster.

King regards

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

When installing the MDM, you need to use the precursors as follows:

MDM_ROLE_IS_MANAGER=1 dpkg -i

MDM_ROLE_IS_MANAGER=0 dpkg -i

When set as 1, it will be an MDM. When set as 0, it will be a tie breaker.

The quickest way to fix is to go edit the /opt/emc/scaleio/mdm/cfg/conf.txt. You should have a line in the file that looks like this currently:

actor_role_is_manager=0

Edit the line and make the 0 into a 1, save the file, and then stop and restart the mdm process:

/opt/emc/scaleio/mdm/bin/delete_service.sh

/opt/emc/scaleio/mdm/bin/create_service.sh


Then you can add this node in as an MDM instead of a tie breaker.


Good luck!
