Chapter 3. Troubleshooting networking issues


This chapter lists basic troubleshooting procedures connected with networking and chrony for Network Time Protocol (NTP).

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.

3.1. Basic networking troubleshooting

Red Hat Ceph Storage depends heavily on a reliable network connection. Red Hat Ceph Storage nodes use the network for communicating with each other. Networking issues can cause many problems with Ceph OSDs, such as them flapping, or being incorrectly reported as down. Networking issues can also cause the Ceph Monitor’s clock skew errors. In addition, packet loss, high latency, or limited bandwidth can impact the cluster performance and stability.

Prerequisites

  • Root-level access to the node.

Procedure

  1. Installing the net-tools and telnet packages can help when troubleshooting network issues that can occur in a Ceph storage cluster:

    Example

    [root@host01 ~]# dnf install net-tools
    [root@host01 ~]# dnf install telnet

  2. Log into the cephadm shell and verify that the public_network parameters in the Ceph configuration file include the correct values:

    Example

    [ceph: root@host01 /]# cat /etc/ceph/ceph.conf
    # minimal ceph.conf for 57bddb48-ee04-11eb-9962-001a4a000672
    [global]
    	fsid = 57bddb48-ee04-11eb-9962-001a4a000672
    	mon_host = [v2:10.74.249.26:3300/0,v1:10.74.249.26:6789/0] [v2:10.74.249.163:3300/0,v1:10.74.249.163:6789/0] [v2:10.74.254.129:3300/0,v1:10.74.254.129:6789/0]
    [mon.host01]
    public network = 10.74.248.0/21

  3. Exit the shell and verify that the network interfaces are up:

    Example

    [root@host01 ~]# ip link list
    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
        link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
        link/ether 00:1a:4a:00:06:72 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

  4. Verify that the Ceph nodes are able to reach each other using their short host names. Verify this on each node in the storage cluster:

    Syntax

    ping SHORT_HOST_NAME

    Example

    [root@host01 ~]# ping host02

  5. If you use a firewall, ensure that Ceph nodes are able to reach each other on their appropriate ports. The firewall-cmd and telnet tools can validate the port status, and if the port is open respectively:

    Syntax

    firewall-cmd --info-zone=ZONE
    telnet IP_ADDRESS PORT

    Example

    [root@host01 ~]# firewall-cmd --info-zone=public
    public (active)
      target: default
      icmp-block-inversion: no
      interfaces: ens3
      sources:
      services: ceph ceph-mon cockpit dhcpv6-client ssh
      ports: 9283/tcp 8443/tcp 9093/tcp 9094/tcp 3000/tcp 9100/tcp 9095/tcp
      protocols:
      masquerade: no
      forward-ports:
      source-ports:
      icmp-blocks:
      rich rules:
    
    [root@host01 ~]# telnet 192.168.0.22 9100

  6. Verify that there are no errors on the interface counters. Verify that the network connectivity between nodes has expected latency, and that there is no packet loss.

    1. Using the ethtool command:

      Syntax

      ethtool -S INTERFACE

      Example

      [root@host01 ~]# ethtool -S ens3 | grep errors
      NIC statistics:
           rx_fcs_errors: 0
           rx_align_errors: 0
           rx_frame_too_long_errors: 0
           rx_in_length_errors: 0
           rx_out_length_errors: 0
           tx_mac_errors: 0
           tx_carrier_sense_errors: 0
           tx_errors: 0
           rx_errors: 0

    2. Using the ifconfig command:

      Example

      [root@host01 ~]# ifconfig
      ens3: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
              inet 10.74.249.26  netmask 255.255.248.0  broadcast 10.74.255.255
              inet6 fe80::21a:4aff:fe00:672  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
              inet6 2620:52:0:4af8:21a:4aff:fe00:672  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x0<global>
              ether 00:1a:4a:00:06:72  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
              RX packets 150549316  bytes 56759897541 (52.8 GiB)
              RX errors 0  dropped 176924  overruns 0  frame 0
              TX packets 55584046  bytes 62111365424 (57.8 GiB)
              TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
      
      lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
              inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
              inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
              loop  txqueuelen 1000  (Local Loopback)
              RX packets 9373290  bytes 16044697815 (14.9 GiB)
              RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
              TX packets 9373290  bytes 16044697815 (14.9 GiB)
              TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

    3. Using the netstat command:

      Example

      [root@host01 ~]# netstat -ai
      Kernel Interface table
      Iface             MTU    RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR    TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg
      ens3             1500 311847720      0 364903 0      114341918      0      0      0 BMRU
      lo              65536 19577001      0      0 0      19577001      0      0      0 LRU

  7. For performance issues, in addition to the latency checks and to verify the network bandwidth between all nodes of the storage cluster, use the iperf3 tool. The iperf3 tool does a simple point-to-point network bandwidth test between a server and a client.

    1. Install the iperf3 package on the Red Hat Ceph Storage nodes you want to check the bandwidth:

      Example

      [root@host01 ~]# dnf install iperf3

    2. On a Red Hat Ceph Storage node, start the iperf3 server:

      Example

      [root@host01 ~]# iperf3 -s
      -----------------------------------------------------------
      Server listening on 5201
      -----------------------------------------------------------

      Note

      The default port is 5201, but can be set using the -P command argument.

    3. On a different Red Hat Ceph Storage node, start the iperf3 client:

      Example

      [root@host02 ~]# iperf3 -c mon
      Connecting to host mon, port 5201
      [  4] local xx.x.xxx.xx port 52270 connected to xx.x.xxx.xx port 5201

      [  4]   9.00-10.00  sec   112 MBytes   939 Mbits/sec    0    520 KBytes

      iperf Done.

      This output shows a network bandwidth of 1.1 Gbits/second between the Red Hat Ceph Storage nodes, along with no retransmissions (Retr) during the test.

      Red Hat recommends you validate the network bandwidth between all the nodes in the storage cluster.

  8. Ensure that all nodes have the same network interconnect speed. Slower attached nodes might slow down the faster connected ones. Also, ensure that the inter switch links can handle the aggregated bandwidth of the attached nodes:

    Syntax

    ethtool INTERFACE

    Example

    [root@host01 ~]# ethtool ens3
    Settings for ens3:
    Supported ports: [ TP ]
    Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

3.2. Basic chrony NTP troubleshooting

This section includes basic chrony NTP troubleshooting steps.

Prerequisites

  • A running Red Hat Ceph Storage cluster.
  • Root-level access to the Ceph Monitor node.

Procedure

  1. Verify that the chronyd daemon is running on the Ceph Monitor hosts:

    Example

    [root@mon ~]# systemctl status chronyd

  2. If chronyd is not running, enable and start it:

    Example

    [root@mon ~]# systemctl enable chronyd
    [root@mon ~]# systemctl start chronyd

  3. Ensure that chronyd is synchronizing the clocks correctly:

    Example

    [root@mon ~]# chronyc sources
    [root@mon ~]# chronyc sourcestats
    [root@mon ~]# chronyc tracking
