PVE6 - corosync 3 issues

Hi,


After upgrading our 4 node cluster from PVE 5 to 6, we experience constant crashed (once every 2 days).

Those crashes seem related to corosync.

Since numerous users are reporting sych issues (broken cluster after upgrade, unstabilities, ...) I wonder if it is possible to downgrade corosync to version 2.4.4 without impacting functionnality ?

Basic steps would be:

On all nodes

# systemctl stop pve-ha-lrm

Once done, on all nodes:

# systemctl stop pve-ha-crm

Once done, on all nodes:

# apt-get install corosync=2.4.4-pve1 libcorosync-common4=2.4.4-pve1 libcmap4=2.4.4-pve1 libcpg4=2.4.4-pve1 libqb0=1.0.3-1~bpo9 libquorum5=2.4.4-pve1 libvotequorum8=2.4.4-pve1

Then, once corosync has been downgraded, on all nodes

# systemctl start pve-ha-lrm
# systemctl start pve-ha-crm

Would that work ?

Thanks
 
What's your current pveversion? (pveversion -v)
Please also provide the syslog(/var/log/syslog) or journal output for the timeframe these issues happened.

A simple package downgrade will not work as there were config changes with the switch to corosync 3 which are incompatible with corosync 2.

beside we all have issues with the corosync3 sh*tshow your main problem at least seem to be network

please grab all dmesg and syslogs regarding yur network cards
as we can see, ping takes 35 seconds which is probably a new world record.

seriously do you have, by any chance, your machines networked with letter pigeons ? :)
 
Sure....the network was working fine _before_ migrating to proxmox 6, and suddenly (without any network change), the packets need 35seconds to travel from one port to another one...

I'm more inclined in thinking the token has not been received _because_ corosync caused trouble before...
 
Could you provide some more information about your setup? Which NICs are you using? Is corosync running in a separated network?(different network, different switch from all other traffic, not just a different VLAN)
 
Corosync is running on a different VLAN on the same bond as production traffic.

This setup has been running rock stable since proxmox 4.
 
It was and still is not recommended to run the corosync traffic over the same network as other traffic.
Corosync requires low latency which is hard to guarantee with other traffic on the same network. Try separating it, 1G NICs/Switches should be enough as it does not require high bandwidth.

Hi,
We did separate corosync traffic from the rest.
Our setup is now (on each node)
2x10G LACP for production traffic
2x10G LACP for cluster traffic

Still we experience corosync failures:
