We wan't to setup two Oracle instance and make RAC work on them.
Both VM are setup based on libvirt + KVM, we use a lvm lun which
formated in qcow2 format and set the shareable properties in the disk
driver like this:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>
<source
dev='/dev/81035c32-d2e4-4aaf-82fa-3e76ae587586/ca18f6a5-7c98-46ea-b562-9424e68a52f3'/>
<target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
<shareable/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0'
target='0' unit='0'/>
</disk>
But when we use it as shared data disk like we use iscsi/FC disk for
shared data disk, the disk can't be recognized as a share disk, and
RAC can't be setup in the environment.
Any body can give me some guild on this?
I am wondering shareable in the libvirt config really makes the disk shareable?
How can I setup the RAC environment in this situable?
I found that vmware and vbox can do this according to a blog post, I
am wondering if kvm has this ability to make a disk really shareable.

Anybody have idea on it?
I tried to set the disk as raw format, and retried the setup process,
but still can't get through.

Caveat: I know nothing in particular about Oracle RAC, but...
Assuming that RAC uses something like SCSI reservations in order to
share the disk, I would guess it doesn't like the disk being on the IDE
bus.

I have tryied change the disk bus to SCSI, add a SCSI controller whose
model is virtio-scsi, still can't setup the RAC instance.
I tried to use windows 2008 Failover Cluster feature to setup a a
Failover Cluster instead, and I can't find any cluster disk to share
between two nodes. So when Failover Cluster is setup, I can't add any
Cluster disk to the Failover Cluster.
Have I missed some thing?

I'm not sure what SCSI-level requirements RAC or Failover Cluster have.
If anyone knows which features are needed it would be possible to
confirm whether they are supported under KVM.
I expect this can only work if you are passing through a shared LUN.
Can you describe your configuration?
Stefan

Yes, SCSI bus likes pass through a shared LUN to the vm, and I am
using a shared LUN for 'share' purpose.
I found a post that vmware use lsilogic bus for the shared disk, but
my qemu/kvm version can't support lsilogic bus.
I'm tring to update qemu/kvm version for lsilogic bus support.

Use virtio-scsi. The emulated LSI SCSI controller has known bugs and is
not actively developed - don't be surprised if you hit issues with it.
The question is still what commands RAC or Failover Clustering use. If
you find that the software refuses to run, it could be because
additional work is required to make it work on KVM.
Stefan

Thanks, i have tried virtio-scsi and LSI SCSI controller, by using a
local file or a LUN as disk. Both raw and qcow2 disk format are be
verified, but no way to make windows Failover Cluster and Oracle RAC
work correctly.
Actually, Oracle RAC and Windows Failover Cluster needs "share"
storage like iscsi disk and fc disk to work correctly.
In iscsi situation, we can use ip network for Failover Cluster "share"
storage, but when we use fc as a high performance solution, we can't
use fc "share" storage direct in VM(Not LUN passthrough).
As I google the windows Failover Cluster requirements, I found that
this issue may be that windows checks only iscsi and fc drivers, the
type of the disk may be check by the driver type. In KVM situation, we
can't emulate a iscsi/fc disk for VM to use, so we can't setup a
environment like this.
I'm wondering, if we want't to make sure the applications and service
in the VM to always work, it's there another way to do this in KVM
environment.

Hi all,
I found a article about Hyper-V virtual Fiber Channel, I think this
will make Failover Cluster work if KVM has the same feature.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831413.aspx
Hyper-V uses NPIV for virtual Fiber Channel, I have read some article
about KVM NPIV, but how can I config it with libvirt? Any body can
show me some example?

You can use this if the host has a supported Fibre Channel HBA and your

From my limited knowledge about this, NPIV itself won't make
clustering
possible. RAC or Failure Cluster probably still require specific SCSI

Thanks.
I have read the link you provide, there is another link which tells me
to pass a NPIV discovery lun as a disk, this is seen as a local direct

pass through disk as local disk, not a share disk, and the setup

Hyper-v provides a virtual Fiber Channel implementation, so I

Right now, I found that Windows Failover Cluster needs SCSI-3
Persistent Reservation, I don't know where if virtio-scsi supports
this, according to http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Virtio-SCSI I found
this:
limited flexibility: virtio-blk does not support all possible storage
scenarios. For example, it does not allow SCSI passthrough or
persistent reservations. In principle, virtio-scsi provides anything
that the underlying SCSI target (be it physical storage, iSCSI or the
in-kernel target) supports.
virtio-blk does not support persistent reservations, but virtio-scsi
may surpport.
Another web page which archive mail lists
http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg01813.html, which request
virtio-scsi to implement SPC-3 (persistent reservation) feature, but I
can't found any more information about this.

I'm not sure this will be enough, but if you want passthrough to the
host device you should use device='lun' here. However, you still would
not be able to issue SCSI reservations unless you run QEMU with the
CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (using "<disk ... rawio='yes'>").
Most important, it still would be unsafe to do this if the same device
is passed to multiple virtual machines on the same host. You need to
have NPIV and create separate virtual HBAs. Then each virtual machine
should get a separate virtual HBA. Otherwise, persistent reservations
are not attached to a particular virtual machine, but generically to the
host.

You are not exposing a virtio-scsi disk here. You are exposing a
virtio-blk disk. You can see this from the type='pci' address that
libvirt gave to the disk.
If you use bus='scsi', you will see that libvirt will use type='drive'
for the address.

I'm not sure this will be enough, but if you want passthrough to the
host device you should use device='lun' here. However, you still would
not be able to issue SCSI reservations unless you run QEMU with the
CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (using "<disk ... rawio='yes'>").

How to use NPIV virtual HBAs with libvirt xml configurations? I can
define nodedev, but have no idea about how to pass the nodedev to the
vm.

Thanks, the whole iSCSI LUN have been passed to the VM.
But I test it with scsicmd, and found that the driver may be not
support SPC-3, but if i use this by microsoft iscsi initiator, I can
pass all the scsi3_test tests.
Tool can be found here:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH72086
It's this means that the scsi passthrough windows driver does not
support SPC-3 feature, I have read a post about this, it says if
support this we should change both the implementation and the
documents in virtio spec.
I am new to this list, so I don't know what is the situation right now?
Would somebody please give me some advise on it?

I found when I use "scsicmd -d1 -s13" test command to test the
"controller bus reset" request, there will be a blue screen on windows
2008 r2.
The error code is :

Tool can be found here:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH72086
It's this means that the scsi passthrough windows driver does not
support SPC-3 feature, I have read a post about this, it says if
support this we should change both the implementation and the
documents in virtio spec.
I am new to this list, so I don't know what is the situation right now?
Would somebody please give me some advise on it?

If you are passing the LUN to the VM with device='lun', the driver and
VMM do not interpret any SCSI command. You should see exactly the same
data as in the host, which includes support for SPC-3:

that means I got a wrong windows vm scsi pass-through driver?
Or is there any tool like sg_inq in windows 2008?

that means I got a wrong windows vm scsi pass-through driver?
Or is there any tool like sg_inq in windows 2008?
Yeah, there's something weird in the Windows VM.
sg_inq should be available for Windows too, but I don't know where to
get a precompiled binary from.

Yeah, there's something weird in the Windows VM.
sg_inq should be available for Windows too, but I don't know where to
get a precompiled binary from.
AFAIK, the latest sg3-utils build for MSFT is here:

Thanks Nicholas.
I found that scsicmd can't pass all the scsi3_test but the result of
sg_inq is the same as it in the host.
I am absolutely confused about this situation. Am I missed some
information about it?

I am also confused. You need to understand the limitations that the
clustering software is putting.
Can you also try using the megaraid sas controller ("lsisas1078" in
libvirt) instead of virtio-scsi?
Paolo
9:44 p.m.
I don't know if lsisas1078 controller in qemu is not work property or
I did not configure it correct.
Sometimes I can see the lun which passed to the vm, sometimes not.
I have tried that controller before, and sometimes the vm will crash
because qemu process quit, but I did not get the detail logs about the
process quit.
I am wondering if lsisas1078 is still not stable or I did not config it right.

I guess this is caused by the lack of capability.
Please check if enough capability was added to kvm process by the following
steps.
1. Check the pid of kvm process.
# ps -C qemu-system-x86_64 -o pid=
5177
2. Check the capability for the process.
# getpcaps 5177
Capabilities for `5177': = cap_sys_rawio+i
In my fedora19 environment, as seen in above, only cap_sys_rawio+i was added
with rawio='yes'. Even though, cap_sys_rawio+ep is required to pass-through
SCSI Reservation from the guest.
Note that I succeeded to pass-through SCSI Reservation with the following steps
in my environment, not a Windows guest though.
1. Stop the guest.
2. Add CAP_SYS_RAWIO(effective, permitted) to qemu-kvm.
# setcap cap_sys_rawio=ep /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
3. Start the guest.
However, I don't think this is the right way to workaround it, because it
gives cap_sys_rawio+ep to all the kvm processes executed from this binary.
I believe following patches, which are not merged yet, are trying to solve
this problem in a different approach.
- [PATCH v3 part2] Add per-device sysfs knob to enable unrestricted,
unprivileged SG_IO
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/23/294
- [RFC PATCH 0/4] SG_IO filtering via sysfs and minimal whitelist
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/5/27/230
Any comments on this?

Yes, that's correct.

Thanks, all the test in SCSICMD.exe can pass now, when I set the ep
caps on qemu process.
We found that sg_persist --read-keys can't get the same result in VM
and host, and now we get the same result in both VM and host mode.
But Windows 2008 Failover Cluster Still can't get the cluster disk
configured, with some error said that the driver can't support the
cluster.
Thanks, I think I have dig into the windows Failover Cluster to find
why it can't support cluster, I will ask somebody in MSDN.

We wan't to setup two Oracle instance and make RAC work on them.
Both VM are setup based on libvirt + KVM, we use a lvm lun which
formated in qcow2 format and set the shareable properties in the disk
driver like this:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='qcow2' cache='none'/>
qcow2 is not cluster-aware, it cannot be opened by multiple VMs at the
same time.
You must use raw.
