Well, it’s the other way around: the compute nodes are the ones acquiring the locks as clients. If ceph goes down they can’t do anything with the locks until the cluster is reachable again, and sometimes a service restart is required, or a manual intervention as in this case. These things happen, the only thing that would help would probably be a stretched (or geo-redundant) ceph cluster to avoid a total failure so the cloud keeps working if one site goes down. Do you see the same impact on that many VMs or only on some of them? Or what does the last question refer to? Zitat von Satish Patel <satish.txt@gmail.com>:
Hi Eugen,
I have a few questions before we close this thread.
- Is it normal that ceph locks images during power failure or disaster? - Shouldn't ceph should release locks automatically when VMs shutdown? - Is this a bug or natural behavior of ceph? I am worried what if i have 100s of VMs and remove lock of all of them

Hi Eugen,
You saved my life!!!!!! all my vms up without any filesystem error :)
This is the correct command to remove the lock.
$ rbd lock rm -p vms ec6044e6-2231-4906-9e30-1e2e72573e64_disk "auto 139643345791728" client.1211875

Hi Eugen,
I am playing with less important machine and i did following
I shutdown VM but still down following lock
root@ceph1:~# rbd lock list --image ec6044e6-2231-4906-9e30-1e2e72573e64_disk -p vms There is 1 exclusive lock on this image. Locker ID Address client.1211875 auto 139643345791728 192.168.3.12:0/2259335316

Still I can see it in the following lock list. Am I missing something?

The lock is aquired automatically, you don't need to create one. I'm curious why you have that many blacklist entries, maybe that is indeed the issue here (locks are not removed). I would shutdown the corrupted VM and see if the compute node still has a lock on that image, because after shutdown it should remove the lock (automatically). If there's still a watcher or lock on that image after shutdown (rbd status vms/55dbf40b-0a6a-4bab-b3a5-b4bb74e963af_disk) you can try to blacklist the client with:
# ceph osd blacklist add client.<ID>
Then check the status again, if no watchers are present, boot the VM.

This is what I did, let me know if I missed anything.

How do I create a lock?

In addition to Sean's response, this has been asked multiple times, e.g. [1]. You could check if your hypervisors gave up the lock on the RBDs or if they are still locked (rbd status <pool>/<image>), in that case you might need to blacklist the clients and see if that resolves anything. Do you have regular snapshots (or backups) to be able to rollback in case of a curruption?
