WARNING - Total swap memory inconsistent across the ECS rack

Node      = Nodes
Extra     = {'Nodes': {'16383': ['169.254.1.8', '169.254.1.7', '169.254.1.6', '169.254.1.4', '169.254.1.3', '169.254.1.2', '169.254.1.1'], '8191': ['169.254.1.5']}}

PSNT      = CKM00190800120 @ 4.8-87.0

Cause

  • Efter en nodomstart sparades inte SWAP-konfigurationen i /etc/fstab.
  • Den inbyggda SWAP-partitionen lästes inte in vid uppstart.
  • Noden återställdes med avbildning och SWAP tillämpades inte på noden.
  • Mer SWAP tillämpades aldrig på ett kluster som hade en expansion. 
  1. Bekräfta om SWAP-konsekvens på alla noder.
Obs! Vi ser att utdata nedan visar att rack 1 nod 1 med endast 8G i SWAP inte matchar klustret.


Kommando:

# doit free -m | grep Swap

Exempel:

admin@ecsnode1:~> svc_exec 'free -m | grep Swap'

  1. Bekräfta om /etc/fstab har uppdaterats för att använda ytterligare 8 GB SWAP på noden och om den inbyggda SWAP-partitionsposten finns.

Kommando:

# svc_exec 'grep swap /etc/fstab'

Exempel:

admin@ecsnode1:~> svc_exec 'grep swap /etc/fstab'
svc_exec v1.0.4 (svc_tools v2.8.0)                 Started 2022-11-30 22:19:21

Output from node: r1n1                                retval: 0
LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0                     <-- missing extended swap partition

Output from node: r1n2                                retval: 0
/swapfile     swap swap defaults 0 0                  <-- missing native swap partition

Output from node: r1n3                                retval: 0
LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0

Output from node: r1n4                                retval: 0

LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0
/swapfile     swap swap defaults 0 0

Output from node: r1n7                                retval: 0
LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0
/swapfile     swap swap defaults 0 0

Output from node: r1n8                                retval: 0
LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0
/swapfile     swap swap defaults 0 0

 

  1. Kontrollera om SWAP-filen finns på alla noder.
Kommando: 
# svc_exec 'ls -lh /swapfile'
Exempel:
admin@ecsnode1:~> svc_exec 'ls -lh /swapfile'
svc_exec v1.0.4 (svc_tools v2.8.0)                 Started 2022-11-30 22:26:48

Output from node: r1n1                                retval: 0
ls: cannot access '/swapfile': No such file or directory

Output from node: r1n2                                retval: 0
-rw------- 1 root root 8.0G Feb 11  2022 /swapfile

Output from node: r1n3                                retval: 0
-rw------- 1 root root 8.0G Feb 11  2022 /swapfile

Output from node: r1n4                                retval: 0
-rw------- 1 root root 8.0G Feb 11  2022 /swapfile

Output from node: r1n5                                retval: 0
-rw------- 1 root root 8.0G Feb 11  2022 /swapfile

Output from node: r1n6                                retval: 0
-rw------- 1 root root 8.0G Feb 11  2022 /swapfile

Output from node: r1n7                                retval: 0
-rw------- 1 root root 8.0G Feb 11  2022 /swapfile

Output from node: r1n8                                retval: 0
-rw------- 1 root root 8.0G Jul 26 02:03 /swapfile

Resolution

VIKTIGT! En ny funktion har släppts i xDoctor 4-8.104.0 och senare. Denna kunskapsbas (KB) är nu automatiserad med xDoctor AutoPilot som tar itu med de flesta problem utan att behöva involvera support.

Den här funktionen är inbyggd i xDoctor 4-8.104.0 och senare, för syntax- och användningsproblem hänvisar du till ECS: ObjectScale: Köra KB Automation-skript (autopilot).(kan kräva inloggning till Dells support) 
 

  1. Kör automatiseringskommandot från en primär nod med xDoctor 4-8.104.0 och senare.
    Not: --target-node, --target-rack and --target-vdc stöds för det här skriptet.
Kommando: 
# sudo xdoctor autopilot --kb 205933 --target-node <NAN IP>
# sudo xdoctor autopilot --kb 205933 --target-rack <Rack Name>
# sudo xdoctor autopilot --kb 205933 --target-vdc <VDC Name>
Exempel:
admin@ecsnode1:~> sudo xdoctor autopilot --kb 205933 --target-node 169.254.1.1
Checking for existing screen sessions...
Starting screen session 'autopilot_kb_205933_20250627_212503'...
Screen session 'autopilot_kb_205933_20250627_212503' started successfully.
Attaching to screen session 'autopilot_kb_205933_20250627_212503'...

 

  1. Granska en sammanfattning av de åtgärder som vidtagits.

Exempel:

TASK [Summary for SWAP and fstab issues addressed] *********************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [169.254.1.7] => {
    "msg": [
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************",
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************",
        " An 8GB swap file was created and configured as /swapfile with swap enabled. ",
        " fstab was updated with entries for /swapfile, and a backup prior to the change was created in: /etc/fstab.28734.2024-08-28@19:44:38~. ",
        " No duplicate entries were found in fstab. ",
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************",
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************"
    ]
}

 

  1. Bekräfta att du vill uppdatera MOTD med växlingsinformation och de ändringar som tillämpas.
    Not: Om din nuvarande MOTD har KB-numret eller ordet /swapfile i sig kommer MOTD inte att uppdateras.

Kommando:

# yes or no

Exempel:

The next steps are to detect keywords in the MOTD content and update the MOTD with custom content for the KB specifics. IMPORTANT! You will need customer permission to do this action for the KB. Would you like to proceed with the steps by typing 'Yes' or 'Y', or skip the MOTD update actions by typing 'No' or 'N':
: y
  1. Granska MOTD-ändringssammanfattningen för att lägga till nytt MOTD-innehåll:

Exempel:

TASK [MOTD summary] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [169.254.1.7] => {
    "msg": [
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************",
        "New MOTD content:",
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************",
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************",
        [
            "",
"==============================================================================================================================================",
            "2024-08-28 | SR#84955203 | KB 186358 has been applied to this system, adding an 8GB swap file to /swapfile. Please reapply if a node has been reimaged.",
            "=============================================================================================================================================="
        ],
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************",
        "************************************************************************************************************************************************"
    ]
}
