Dear, I have some troubles deploying a Manila stein version using the GPFS driver over Ubuntu 18.04. Manila api and scheduler seem to be starting fine, the problem is with the manila-share service. manila:~ # dpkg -l | grep manila ii manila-api 1:8.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 all OpenStack shared file system as a service - API server ii manila-common 1:8.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 all OpenStack shared file system as a service - common files ii manila-scheduler 1:8.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 all OpenStack shared file system as a service - Scheduler server ii manila-share 1:8.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 all OpenStack shared file system as a service - Share server ii python3-manila 1:8.0.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 all OpenStack shared file system as a service - Python 3 libs ii python3-manilaclient 1.27.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 all OpenStack shared file system as a service - Python 3.x client the configuration related to GPFS in the manila.conf is : share_driver = manila.share.drivers.ibm.gpfs.GPFSShareDriver gpfs_share_export_ip = xx.xx.xx.xx gpfs_mount_point_base = /gpfs/ces gpfs_nfs_server_type = CES #gpfs_nfs_server_list = <None> is_gpfs_node = false gpfs_ssh_port = 22 gpfs_ssh_login = XXXX #gpfs_ssh_password = <None> gpfs_ssh_private_key = /var/lib/manila/.ssh/id_rsa gpfs_share_helpers = CES=manila.share.drivers.ibm.gpfs.CESHelper GPFS backend is running on other GPFS node. Ssh connection seems to be OK, but the function _get_gpfs_state() seems not to get the correct value: 019-06-06 11:56:15.345 4191 DEBUG manila.share.manager [req-79f86b63-595a-4eb9-8dad-b712a7c45b8e - - - - -] Start initialization of driver: 'GPFSShareDriver@manila.cloud' _driver_setup /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/manila/share/manager.py:308 2019-06-06 11:56:15.347 4191 DEBUG manila.utils [req-79f86b63-595a-4eb9-8dad-b712a7c45b8e - - - - -] ssh.connect: ip: XX:XX:XX:XX port: 22, username: user, password: None, key_filename: /var/lib/manila/.ssh/id_rsa, look_for_keys: False, timeout: 60, banner_timeout: 60 create /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/manila/utils.py:138 2019-06-06 11:56:15.349 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] starting thread (client mode): 0x2b75dd30 _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.349 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] Local version/idstring: SSH-2.0-paramiko_2.0.0 _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.357 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] Remote version/idstring: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.4 _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.357 4191 INFO paramiko.transport [-] Connected (version 2.0, client OpenSSH_7.4) 2019-06-06 11:56:15.360 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] kex algos:['curve25519-sha256', 'curve25519-sha256@libssh.org', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp256', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp384', 'ecdh-sha2-nistp521', 'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256', 'diffie-hellman-group16-sha512', 'diffie-hellman-group18-sha512', 'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1', 'diffie-hellman-group14-sha256', 'diffie-hellman-group14-sha1', 'diffie-hellman-group1-sha1'] server key:['ssh-rsa', 'rsa-sha2-512', 'rsa-sha2-256', 'ecdsa-sha2-nistp256', 'ssh-ed25519'] client encrypt:['chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com', 'aes128-ctr', 'aes192-ctr', 'aes256-ctr', 'aes128-gcm@openssh.com', 'aes256-gcm@openssh.com', 'aes128-cbc', 'aes192-cbc', 'aes256-cbc', 'blowfish-cbc', 'cast128-cbc', '3des-cbc'] server encrypt:['chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com', 'aes128-ctr', 'aes192-ctr', 'aes256-ctr', 'aes128-gcm@openssh.com', 'aes256-gcm@openssh.com', 'aes128-cbc', 'aes192-cbc', 'aes256-cbc', 'blowfish-cbc', 'cast128-cbc', '3des-cbc'] client mac:['umac-64-etm@openssh.com', 'umac-128-etm@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com', 'umac-64@openssh.com', 'umac-128@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha2-256', 'hmac-sha2-512', 'hmac-sha1'] server mac:['umac-64-etm@openssh.com', 'umac-128-etm@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com', 'umac-64@openssh.com', 'umac-128@openssh.com', 'hmac-sha2-256', 'hmac-sha2-512', 'hmac-sha1'] client compress:['none', 'zlib@openssh.com'] server compress:['none', 'zlib@openssh.com'] client lang:[''] server lang:[''] kex follows?False _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.361 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] Kex agreed: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256 _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.361 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] Cipher agreed: aes128-ctr _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.362 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] MAC agreed: hmac-sha2-256 _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.362 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] Compression agreed: none _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.368 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] Got server p (2048 bits) _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.465 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] kex engine KexGexSHA256 specified hash_algo <built-in function openssl_sha256> _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.466 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] Switch to new keys ... _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.467 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [req-79f86b63-595a-4eb9-8dad-b712a7c45b8e - - - - -] Adding ssh-rsa host key for 10.10.4.13: b'5683629c7943d6dbc63e3978a06281f0' _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.469 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [req-79f86b63-595a-4eb9-8dad-b712a7c45b8e - - - - -] Trying key b'483cd0e64b4cc8163471c2efdd1ae825' from /var/lib/manila/.ssh/id_rsa _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.505 4191 DEBUG paramiko.transport [-] userauth is OK _log /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/paramiko/transport.py:1547 2019-06-06 11:56:15.514 4191 INFO paramiko.transport [-] Authentication (publickey) successful!
