Description
Observation¶
User report https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1637666699462700 .
mdoucha: "All jobs are stuck downloading assets until they time out. OSD dashboard shows that the workers are downloading ridiculous amounts of data all the time since yesterday."
Suggestions¶
- Find corresponding monitoring data on https://monitor.qa.suse.de/ that can be used to visualize the problem as well as a verification after any potential fix
- Identify what might cause such problems "since yesterday", i.e. 2021-11-22
Rollback steps (to be done once the actual issue has been resolved)¶
powerqaworker-qam-1 # systemctl unmask openqa-worker-auto-restart@{3..6} openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{3..6}.{service,timer} && systemctl enable --now openqa-worker-auto-restart@{3..6} openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{3..6}.{service,timer}
QA-Power8-4-kvm # systemctl unmask openqa-worker-auto-restart@{4..8} openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{4..8}.{service,timer} && systemctl enable --now openqa-worker-auto-restart@{4..8} openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{4..8}.{service,timer}
QA-Power8-5-kvm # systemctl unmask openqa-worker-auto-restart@{4..8} openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{4..8}.{service,timer} && systemctl enable --now openqa-worker-auto-restart@{4..8} openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{4..8}.{service,timer}
- Add qa-power8-4-kvm.qa.suse.de, qa-power8-5-kvm.qa.suse.de and powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de back to salt and ensure all services are running again.

so the process is busy reading over network and writing into a local cache file?
Updated by mkittler almost 3 years ago
On the Minion dashboard no download jobs have been piling up. However, judging by htop the speed it writes to disk is below 1 M/s (per process). That's very slow. And yes, it is reading over network and writes into a local cache file. I suppose that is expected - just not that it is that slow.
The network connection to OSD isn't generally slow. I've just tested with iperf3 on power8-4-kvm.qa.suse.de and powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de and got > 600 Mbits/sec. The write performance on /var/lib/openqa/cache/tmp looks also good on both workers.
Updated by mkittler almost 3 years ago
Judging by the job history, the affected machines are qa-power8-4-kvm.qa.suse.de, qa-power8-5-kvm.qa.suse.de and powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de. grenache-1 and malbec look good.

grenache-1 looking good is an interesting observation as it would show that affected machines are not only in the qa.suse.de subdomain. Given our history I'd recommend to check network performance to/from OSD using iperf3 with respective parameters for IPv4 and IPv6. Maybe this reveals some first details.
Updated by mkittler almost 3 years ago
I've checked with iperf3 again. There was no difference between using -4 and -6.
Updated by kraih almost 3 years ago
Not seeing anything unusual in the logs on powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de either.
Updated by mkittler almost 3 years ago
When using iperf3 -R to test downloading (from OSD) on qa-power8-4-kvm.qa.suse.de and powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de there's a huge slowdown to < 5 Mbit/s (regardless whether IPv4 or 6 is used). That's not the case on the good host malbec so I assume we have our problem - unless this is really just due to the ongoing downloads. The ongoing downloads use only 20 Mbit/s (3.33 Mbyte/s). That is very slow. If we add it to performance test speed we're still only at a receive rate of 25 Mbit/s.

All affected machines seem to be located in SRV2 according to racktables: https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=3026
Here you have some network-graphs for the switch they are most likely connected to: http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet13nue/index.html
I checked the connection speeds on that switch. According to these graphs 3 of these ports seem to max out at ~100Mbit/s (still quite a bit more then measured by @mkittler):

From the MAC address-table I see the following connections:
powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de: gi5
QA-Power8-5.qa.suse.de: gi8
QA-Power8-4.qa.suse.de: gi7
So only qa-power8-4 is connected over 100Mbit/s.

I've stopped all services on powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de. Even without ongoing downloads the network speed is very slow:

- Does running iperf3 in server mode when there are no clients reading from there incur any overhead? If not, should we run it there permanently for monitoring and investigation purposes?
- @mkittler can you provide something like a "one-liner" to reproduce the problem, e.g. the necessary iperf3 command line both on server+worker
- can we run the according iperf3 commands periodically in our monitoring? I guess just some seconds every hour should provide enough data and we can smooth in grafana
- I suggest to try to power down + power up the according machines over IPMI. Maybe this already helps with port-renegotiation or something
- As the problem did appear just recently I suggest we rollback package changes, e.g. kernel version. Despite some workers still behaving fine it could still be a problem after updates only that only some machines are affected due to their network setup particularities

Running just the server does not really come with much overhead despite the usual load a idling process causes.
- can we run the according iperf3 commands periodically in our monitoring? I guess just some seconds every hour should provide enough data and we can smooth in grafana
There is this open request with an simple exec example: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/3866#issuecomment-694429507 - this should work for our use-case. We just need to make sure not to run all requests at the same time to all workers because it would quite easily saturate the whole link of OSD
Updated by mkittler almost 3 years ago
Unfortunately Infra doesn't have access to the server as well. Maybe they can at least tell us who has.
I've rebooted but it didn't help. I've booted into the snapshot from Mi 24 Nov 2021 10:49:35 CET but it didn't help. The rates are a tiny bit higher now but that's likely just because now all downloads on all the hosts had been stopped. It is still just 15.8 Mbits/sec.

@nicksinger I can of course still do the rollback steps (mentioned in the ticket description) for you in the end or do some further testing to see whether something works better after some changes.

@nicksinger has restarted the switch but the networking speed is still slow. (Even though all workers are now back online I'd expect more than 4 Mbit/s download rate via iperf3 from OSD.)

I don't know. Maybe it is possible to plug the machines in another switch or try with a spare switch?

- Due date set to 2021-12-29
- Status changed from Feedback to In Progress
- Priority changed from Urgent to High
Current state¶
We have reduced performance but still some worker instances running so with degraded performance we have addressed the urgency of the ticket and can reduce to "High"
Observations¶
- http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet13nue/10.162.0.73_gi1.html shows that there is significant traffic on that port since 2021-W47, i.e. 2021-11-22, the start of the problems and near-zero going back to 2020-11. same for gi2, gi5, gi7, gi8, gi11, gi12, gi13, gi23, gi24
- the corresponding counterpart to qanet13 is visible on http://mrtg.suse.de/Nx5696Q-Core2/192.168.0.121_369098892.html (qanet13 connection on core2) and http://mrtg.suse.de/Nx5696Q-Core1/192.168.0.120_526649856.html (qanet13 connection on core1) but neither seem to show significant traffic increase since 2021-11-22, so where is the traffic coming from? Is the switch qanet13 sending out broadcasts itself?
- qanet13nue uplink seems to be gi27+gi28 (found with
show interfaces Port-Channel 1). http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet13nue/10.162.0.73_po1.html is the aggregated view and shows nothing significant. But we see that also in the past we had spikes to 320 MBit/s "in" and 240 MBit/s "out" and no such spikes since 2021-W47, limited to 100 MBit/s? Yearly average looks sane, nothing special, average 46 MBit/s "in" and 16 MBit/s "out". We identified that the hosts that are called like S812LC and S822LC on http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet13nue/index.html are according to https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&object_id=992 our power hosts qa-power8-4 (S812LC) and qa-power8-5 (S822LC) and respective "service processors" S812LC-SP and S822LC-SP. gi6 is powerqaworker-qam-1 (according to iperf experiment from hyperv host). On http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet13nue/index.html we can see that many hosts receive significant traffic since 2021-11-22 but don't show change in sending traffic. The only port that shows significant corresponding incoming traffic is the uplink. So our conclusion is that unintended broadcast traffic received by the rack switch is forwarded to all hosts and especially the Power machines seem to be badly affected by this (either traffic on SPs or the host itself or both) so that sending still works with high bandwidth but receiving only gets a very low bandwidth - booted powerqaworker-qam-1 with kernel 5.3.18-lp152.102-default from 2021-11-11 from /boot, that is before the start of the problem on 2021-11-22 and ran
iperf3 -t 1200 -R -c openqaworker12yielding 5.9 MBit/s so same on this older kernel => kernel regression unlikely
Suggestions¶
- WAITING Ask users of other machines in the same rack if they have network problems, e.g. migration-smt2.qa.suse.de , ask migration team -> nsinger asked, @waitfor response
- DONE Conduct network performance test between two hosts within the same rack, nsinger conducted this test between qa-power8-4 (server) and powerqaworker-qam-1 (client) and received 3.13 MBit/s so a magnitude too low for 1 GBit/s, same for qa-power8-5 (client, both directions). Crosscheck between two other hosts in another rack. We did for openqaworker10+13 and got 945 MBit/s so as expected near 1 GBit/s accounting for overhead.
- DONE Try to sature the switch bandwidth using iperf3 until we can actually see the result on http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet13nue/index.html -> we could see the results using openqaw9-hyperv which we verified to be connected to g1. http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet13nue/10.162.0.73_gi1.html
- DONE Logged in over RDP to openqaw9-hyperv.qa.suse.de and downloaded https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php for Windows
- DONE executed tests against qa-power8-4-kvm resulting in 1.3 MBit/s, openqaworker10->openqaw9-hyperv.qa.suse.de => 204 MBit/s, openqaw9-hyperv.qa.suse->openqaworker10 248 MBit/s so system is fine, switch is not generally broken
- DONE Started
iperf3 -son openqaworker12 and on openqaw9-hyperviperf3.exe -t 1200 -c openqaworker12at 11:09:00Z, trying to see the bandwidth on http://mrtg.suse.de/qanet20nue/index.html . stopped as expected 11:29:00Z. Reported bandwidth 77 MBit/s in both directions. MAC-address 00:15:17:B1:03:88 or 00:15:17:B1:03:89 . nsinger has confirmed that he sees this address on qanet13nue:gi1 .
- DONE Now starting
iperf3 -t 1200 -c powerqaworker-qam-1-> 1.02 MBit/s. Reverseiperf3 -t 1200 -R -c powerqaworker-qam-1shows bandwidth of 692 MBit/s (!) => only download to machine affected - DONE Examine the traffic, e.g. wireshark on any host on the rack, and see if we can identify the traffic and forward that information to the according users or Eng Infra -> nothing found by nsinger so far
- Try to connect the affected machines to another switch, e.g. in a neighboring rack, and execute iperf3 runs. nicksinger will coordinate with gschlotter from Eng Infra to do that
- REJECTED Check for log output on power8-4 why the link is only 100 MBit/s and coordinate with Eng Infra to replace the cable on the port connected to power8-4 and/or connect to another port on the same switch -> mkittler confirmed that Linux reports the link is 1GB/s so this is a false report. Maybe some BMC that is connected on that port.
- Ask Eng Infra to give more members or the complete team of QE Tools ssh access to the switch, at least read-only access for monitoring. If Eng Infra does not know how to do that maybe nsinger can do it himself directly
- Disable individual ports on the switch to check if that improves the situation for power workers -> likely will not affect as we assume the problem to come from outside the switch over the uplink
- Conduct network performance benchmark on affected power hosts in a stripped-down environment with no other significant traffic. Also we can not access the host powerqaworker-qam-1 using iperf or any other port from the other hosts.

on powerqaworker-qam-1 I stopped many services and also unmounted NFS. I ran tcpdump -i eth4. Traffic I found (example block):

asked in #help-it-ama who is 149.44.176.6. drodgriguez answered and stated that it's https://api.suse.de and the racktables entry https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=6198&hl_ip=149.44.176.6 . I see quite some https traffic from that host to QA-Power8-5-kvm.qa.suse.de, I guess it's AMQP. The above traffice shows traffic to and from QA-Power8-4-kvm and QA-Power8-5-kvm, so why do I see it at all on powerqaworker-qam-1?
Trying an older kernel on powerqaworker-qam-1.qa:
sudo kexec --exec --load /boot/vmlinux-5.3.18-lp152.102-default --initrd=/boot/initrd-5.3.18-lp152.102-default --command-line=$(cat /proc/cmdline)
Same results there so no impact of kernel. I asked in SUSE-IT ticket.

mdoucha reported in https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1639646867388200 that PPC64LE jobs are failing again on MAX_SETUP_TIME and that again many instances are online. I did:
powerqaworker-qam-1 # systemctl mask --now openqa-worker-auto-restart@{3..6}
QA-Power8-4-kvm # systemctl mask --now openqa-worker-auto-restart@{4..8}
QA-Power8-5-kvm # systemctl mask --now openqa-worker-auto-restart@{4..8}
I called
for i in powerqaworker-qam-1 QA-Power8-4-kvm QA-Power8-5-kvm ;do host=openqa.suse.de WORKER=powerqaworker-qam-1 failed_since=2021-12-01 result="result='timeout_exceeded'" bash -ex openqa-advanced-retrigger-jobs; done
but found no jobs that were not already automatically restarted. I also called
for i in powerqaworker-qam-1 QA-Power8-4-kvm QA-Power8-5-kvm ;do host=openqa.suse.de WORKER=powerqaworker-qam-1 failed_since=2021-12-01 result="result='incomplete'" bash -ex openqa-advanced-retrigger-jobs; done
which looks like it also effectively did not restart any jobs as they all miss a necessary asset.
EDIT: We observed failed systemd services because now the according "openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart" services fail as the "openqa-worker-auto-restart" services are masked. So we also need to (and I did that now) mask those:
powerqaworker-qam-1 # systemctl mask --now openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{3..6} ; systemctl reset-failed
QA-Power8-4-kvm # systemctl mask --now openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{4..8} ; systemctl reset-failed
QA-Power8-5-kvm # systemctl mask --now openqa-reload-worker-auto-restart@{4..8} ; systemctl reset-failed

Are we still waiting to get access to the switch?

ok so apparently it didn't work as I expected it. Unfortunately the iOS version is quite old and I can only find guides for more modern versions. I will write you the password in slack so you can at least manually log in.

I talked to gschlotter regarding https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-67703 - copying the current plan (for everybody who can not access this ticket):
I had some brainstorming with Nick.
on Monday I will be in the serverroom and will connect one of these servers with a new cable to a diffrent switch.
Nick will test if this solves the situation, if yes, he will be in the office with Matthias on Tuesday and recable these servers.
Updated by livdywan almost 3 years ago
What happened since the last episode¶
- Nick took over from Marius
- Oli reported an extensive report of ideas and attempts to investigate
- Nothing seemingly happened for two weeks
- Stakeholders are seeing problems again
- We still don't know if maybe it's just a kink in the ethernet cable
Ideas for improvement¶
- We could have implemented work-arounds sooner
- Consider getting access to another machine as a temporary replacement
- Was the infra ticket updated / visible?
- Comments should have been added to clarify changes
- Due date set to 2021-12-29
- We should have been keeping up with updates?

I will be in the office today testing if a direct connection with my notebook brings better speeds. Hopefully I can manage to pull this experiment off to exclude any problems with any hardware (e.g. switch, router) in between.

Please keep the observation from #102882#note-24 in mind regarding the high increase of traffic we saw. I don't think at this point it helps to simply plug the machines elsewhere without making sure that this traffic goes away, e.g. unplug other stuff, the uplink, etc.

With all these tests I can conclude:
- The machine itself is not misconfigured and is perfectly able to deliver 1Gbit/s up and down
- Several switches in srv2 are affected by the performance loss
- The QA VLAN itself does not cause the performance loss (as a switch in the qalab - so a different location - is running fine)
I'd suggest that we try to map out how these switches are interconnected. I could imagine that several switches in srv2 are "daisychained" and maybe one switch in that chain is behaving wrong. I will try to come up with a graph showing how the switches are connected. If we have a better overview we can start debugging by e.g. comparing configurations or replugging the uplink of several switches.

you haven't mentioned the increase of "unexpected traffic". Do you see any relation between that and the measurements you conducted?
Updated by okurz almost 3 years ago
- Status changed from In Progress to Feedback
- Priority changed from High to Normal
gschlotter will check the daisy-chained core switches. Current hypothesis is that at least one is misbehaving and causing the problems. nsinger told us that gschlotter read the ticket so we assume he is aware about the "unexpected traffic". So we expect an update within the next days from gschlotter.

Updated by livdywan almost 3 years ago
- What machine was re-plugged?
We don't know.We've not seen any improvement. Looks to be qapower8-5 - At least one switch might run in hub mode? (or bridge mode?)
- Likely both rack and core switch need to run in hub mode
- Are any debug settings enabled?
- Check the management console
- Compare traffic of machines directly connected to the router
- Re-conduct previous experiments on all affected power machines, at least one x86-64 machine on another rack and malbec incl. tcpdumps @mkittler
- Note, do add the commands used, for easy reproduction
- Ping https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-67703

TLDR: It looks still as bad as from the beginning on all three power hosts and doing the same tests on malbec or x86_64 machines doesn't show those symptoms.
Here (again) the exact commands used for performance testing:
Start server on openqa.suse.de (e.g. in screen session):
martchus@openqa:~> iperf3 -s
Check on affected host (not possible via salt as they are currently not in salt):
ssh qa-power8-5-kvm.qa.suse.de -C 'iperf3 -R -c openqa.suse.de' # -R is important as it is only slow in one direction
Check other hosts (glob must only match one at a time as server can only handle one request at a time):
martchus@openqa:~> sudo salt 'malbec*' cmd.run "sudo -u '$USER' iperf3 -R -c openqa.suse.de"
Check tcpdump for unrelated output (like in #102882#note-25), e.g.:
martchus@malbec:~> sudo zypper in tcpdump
martchus@malbec:~> ip addr # to find relevant eth dev
martchus@malbec:~> sudo tcpdump -i eth4 # look for suspicious traffic for "wrong" hosts
martchus@malbec:~> sudo tcpdump -i eth4 | grep -v malbec.arch.suse.de # filter traffic not directly related to host (might not cover IPv6 address)
My findings so far:
iperf3still shows slow performance on these three power hosts (but not on malbec or other x86_64 hosts).tcpdumpstill shows unrelated traffic on these three power hosts (but not on malbec or other x86_64 hosts).- I still see traffic for e.g. power5 on power1, e.g.
13:22:27.428007 IP 10.163.28.162.52464 > QA-Power8-5-kvm.qa.suse.de.ssh: Flags [.], ack 229662332, win 14792, options [nop,nop,TS val 2833931280 ecr 2859724898], length 0. - The same can be observed on power4, e.g.
13:26:46.001535 IP 10.160.1.93 > QA-Power8-5-kvm.qa.suse.de: GREv0, length 186: IP 10.0.2.15.hpoms-dps-lstn > 239.37.84.23.netsupport: UDP, length 13 - The same can be observed on power5, e.g.
13:38:52.734608 IP openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de.d-s-n > QA-Power8-4-kvm.qa.suse.de.34204: Flags [.], ack 3618777680, win 2906, options [nop,nop,TS val 3944523984 ecr 1904290933], length 0 - I didn't observe similar behavior on malbec or openqaworker10 where the host
tcpdumpis executed on always appears on at least one side (except for ARP, ICMP and multicast traffic).

Updated by nicksinger almost 3 years ago
I ran wireshark on qa-power8-4 & qa-power8-5 with the following filter: ((!ipv6) && tcp) && !(ip.dst == $IP_OF_THE_HOST) and could still observe a lot of traffic which is designated for other hosts. However I see mainly "qa traffic" on power8-5 while power8-4 sees a lot of other traffic (e.g. 10.0.2.1) so I wonder if in reality power8-4 is the one connected to the core switch?

@Sebastian Riedel @Marius Kittler @Nick Singer thank you for the quick but thorough and diligent investigation work in https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/102882#note-53 and https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/102882#note-54 , that's what I would say is truly professional work. I checked my text in https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-67703 and I think it's still valid and current as is. Eng-Infra or whoever has control over the network as a whole needs to follow up. I don't see how we would be able to do much more poking through the keyhole and with limited access to switches. @kraih I think the ticket could now be in "In Progress" or "Feedback" with active monitoring of any progress in https://sd.suse.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/SD-67703
Updated by mkittler almost 3 years ago
I cannot answer the question but considering your findings I'd ask myself the same question. It could be a mixup. Since I've always been checking on all three hosts anyways and haven't noticed any difference I suppose it doesn't matter much at this point.

With all the data collected, i think we can conclude that the rack switch is definitely misconfigured, with a lot of legacy settings from previous uses. As a next step, we will need help from someone with Cisco IOS knowledge from Infra, to reset and properly configure the switch. Irrespective of who is ultimately responsible for maintaining the switch (SNMP settings still say snmp-server contact infra@suse.com btw.).

Talked to Gerhard Schlotter from Infra today and they are working on the problem now. I've given them access to the switch and two machines in the rack (Power8-4-kvm/Power8-5-kvm), so they can do network tests themselves. The initial plan is to simply reset and reconfigure the switch. I've also forwarded our concerns regarding the core switch. If necessary they will have physical access to the rack on Tuesday. So we should know more around Wednesday next week.

Quick update, so far Infra has not worked on the switch. It is planned for today though.
Updated by kraih almost 3 years ago
Got another update from Gerhard, the switch might be working fine again after a firmware update. I can now see both machines (Power8-4-kvm/Power8-5-kvm) in the mac address table.

Looks good so far. I've run some test jobs on QA-Power8-4-kvm and 2.2GB disk image was downloaded in ~61 seconds. Yesterday similarly sized files took 15-60 minutes to download on the same worker. We'll see tomorrow how full KOTD tests perform.

@kraih any news from you about this today? Any plans to continue?
As the EngInfra ticket was closed but is missing some details that I would like to learn about I asked there in the ticket as well:
This is great news. For an issue that had such big impact I would be happy to read a bit more about the investigation and fixing process. Could you please describe why you came to the conclusion that firmware should be updated? How was that conducted and what is the current, final state? What is done to prevent a similar situation for other switches/racks/rooms? What can we do to improve in a similar situation in the future? As the measurements in switch throughput clearly showed a significant change with the beginning of the problems what measures are taken on monitoring&alerting level?
Given the impact of this issue we definitely should conduct a lessons learned meeting and Five Why analysis with follow-up tasks.

Looks like the comment takeover was pointless, since the new issue is completely unrelated to the cache service and downloaded assets.
