Been searching for a tool to streamline ZFS replication between my storage arrays and I think I found it – it’s called syncoid.

Installation

# ubuntu
apt install pv lzop mbuffer libconfig-inifiles-perl git -y
# centos
yum install pv lzop mbuffer perl-Config-IniFiles.noarch git -y


cd /usr/src/
git clone https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid.git
cp sanoid/syncoid /usr/local/sbin/

Now setup SSH keys for passwordless root login and create cronjob to fire up /usr/local/sbin/replication-syncoid.sh once a day/week/whenever suits you.

0 0 * * 1   /usr/local/sbin/replication-syncoid.sh|logger

Where /usr/local/sbin/replication-syncoid.sh is

#!/bin/bash
FILESYSTEMS="apps home service vmfs"
LOG=/var/log/syncoid.log
for i in $FILESYSTEMS; do 
echo "---------------  `date` - syncing $i -------------" >> $LOG 2>&1 
/usr/local/sbin/syncoid -r root@mielnet-second-tier0022:tank/$i cistern/$i >> $LOG 2>&1
echo "---------------  `date` - done $i -------------" >> $LOG 2>&1
done

 

No matching ciphers

You may get a message:

"no matching cipher found: client [email protected],arcfour server aes256-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes128-ctr,arcfour256,arcfour128"

most likely when you run Centos 6 on target host. You need to check for available ciphers on target host and modify syncoid script accordingly.

# ssh -Q cipher root@mielnet-second-tier0022| paste -d , -s
3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,arcfour128,arcfour256,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[email protected],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]

and paste output from above on line 39 of /usr/local/sbin/replication-syncoid.sh

$sshcipher = '-c 3des-cbc,blowfish-cbc,cast128-cbc,arcfour,arcfour128,arcfour256,aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc,[email protected],aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,[email protected],[email protected],[email protected] ';

 

Now your sync will run OK.

 

Summary

It gets the job done nicely and saves me from writing my own bash-perl-voodoo-black-magic-fuckery.

Thanks Jim.

Grid Engine installation on Centos 6

My notes for installing Son of Grid Engine (SGE) on commodity cluster.

golden_h

Intro

Grab from here  the following RPM packages:

gridengine-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
gridengine-debuginfo-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
gridengine-devel-8.1.9-1.el6.noarch.rpm
gridengine-drmaa4ruby-8.1.9-1.el6.noarch.rpm
gridengine-execd-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
gridengine-guiinst-8.1.9-1.el6.noarch.rpm
gridengine-qmaster-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
gridengine-qmon-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

(at the time of writing version 8.1.9).

For your convenience, the following one liner should fetch these for you 🙂

cd /tmp; for i in gridengine-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm gridengine-debuginfo-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm gridengine-devel-8.1.9-1.el6.noarch.rpm gridengine-drmaa4ruby-8.1.9-1.el6.noarch.rpm gridengine-execd-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm gridengine-guiinst-8.1.9-1.el6.noarch.rpm gridengine-qmaster-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm gridengine-qmon-8.1.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm; do wget https://arc.liv.ac.uk/downloads/SGE/releases/8.1.9/$i;done

Pick one server that will be serving as a master node in your cluster, referred later as qmaster.
For smaller clusters it can happily run on small VM (say 2x vCPU, 2GB RAM) maximising your resource usage.

Install EPEL on all nodes

rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

Install prerequisits on all nodes

yum install -y perl-Env.noarch perl-Exporter.noarch perl-File-BaseDir.noarch perl-Getopt-Long.noarch perl-libs perl-POSIX-strptime.x86_64 perl-XML-Simple.noarch jemalloc munge-libs hwloc lesstif csh ruby xorg-x11-fonts xterm java xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi mailx

Install GridEngine packages on all nodes

cd /tmp/
yum localinstall gridengine-*

Install Qmaster

cd /opt/sge
./install_qmaster

Accepting defaults should just work, well you might want to run it under different user than r00t so:

"Please enter a valid user name >> sgeadmin"

Make sure to add GridEngine to global environment:

cp /opt/sge/default/common/settings.sh /etc/profile.d/sge.sh

NFS export SGE root to nodes in your cluster

vim /etc/exports

/opt/sge 10.10.80.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,sync,no_subtree_check,nohide)

and mount share on exec nodes

vim /etc/fstab

qmaster:/opt/sge 	/opt/sge nfs	tcp,intr,noatime	0	0

 

Installing exec nodes

cd /opt/sge
./install_execd

Just go with the flow here. Once done you should be able to see your exec nodes:

# qhost 
HOSTNAME                ARCH         NCPU NSOC NCOR NTHR  LOAD  MEMTOT  MEMUSE  SWAPTO  SWAPUS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
global                  -               -    -    -    -     -       -       -       -       -
execnode01              lx-amd64        8    2    8    8  0.12   15.6G    5.2G   20.0G  104.9M
execnode02        	lx-amd64        8    2    8    8  0.00   15.7G    1.3G   21.1G     0.0
execnode03              lx-amd64        8    2    8    8  0.00   15.7G    1.4G   21.1G   18.6M

That means you can start submitting jobs to your cluster, either interactive with qlogin or qrsh or batch jobs with qsub.

Adding queues (for FSL)

In most cases it’s enough to have a default queue called all.q

This example will define new queues with different priorities (nice levels):

# change defaults for all.q
qconf -sq all.q |\
    sed -e 's/bin\/csh/bin\/sh/' |\
    sed -e 's/posix_compliant/unix_behavior/' |\
    sed -e 's/priority              0/priority 20/' >\
    /tmp/q.tmp
qconf -Mq /tmp/q.tmp

# add other queues
sed -e 's/all.q/verylong.q/' /tmp/q.tmp >\
   /tmp/verylong.q
qconf -Aq /tmp/verylong.q

sed -e 's/all.q/long.q/' /tmp/q.tmp |\
   sed -e 's/priority *20/priority 15/' >\
   /tmp/long.q
qconf -Aq /tmp/long.q

sed -e 's/all.q/short.q/' /tmp/q.tmp |\
   sed -e 's/priority *20/priority 10/' >\
   /tmp/short.q
qconf -Aq /tmp/short.q

sed -e 's/all.q/veryshort.q/' /tmp/q.tmp |\
   sed -e 's/priority *20/priority 5/' >\
   /tmp/veryshort.q
qconf -Aq /tmp/veryshort.q

Monitoring your cluster

 

Use qmon GUI or the following commands:

# qstat -f
