Files archived but eoscta disagrees

1

Hi everyone,
I have encountered a rather strange issue. All files that we write to eoscta end up on tape, and both the cta catalog and the eos namespace agree on this. However I have discovered a small percentage of files are archived without any issues by cta, but eoscta does not believe the files are on tape.

Any idea how / why this might happen and how to fix it (get the metadata stores back in sync)?

I’ve so far tried this to get the state of the file back in syncL
evict file (cannot evict because file not on tape - at least according to eoscta)
stage file (cannot stage file because file not on tape - at least according to eoscta)
eos file verify (no change)
eos fs boot $fsid --syncmgm (no change)
eos file workflow $path default sync::closew (no change)

As you can see, all appears healthy, except eoscta does not recognise the tape copy and is holding on to the disk copy. The log entries appear normal:

Hi Denis,

It’s likely that the cause of this is that some jobs failed during the reporting stage. So the file was archived to tape, but CTA failed to report this fact to EOS.

You should be able to examine the failed jobs queue to verify this. Use cta-admin failedrequest ls to view the failed jobs. cta-admin fr ls -S gives a summary, to examine the detailed logs use cta-admin --json fr ls -l.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that. The failed jobs queue is empty unfortunately. I suspect that this might be more of an EOS problem, than CTA. CTA looks to be reporting to EOS successfully. You can see the attributes on the file are even set correctly:

sys.archive.error=""
sys.archive.file_id="13665"
sys.archive.storage_class="single-copy-backup"

The sys.archive.file_id is set when the archive request is processed successfully, I think?

Any thought on how to reconcile the state? I see in the documentation that EOS metadata is the master and CTA plays catchup, but I wonder how to fix the actual EOS metadata in this instance?

Cheers,

Denis

Hi Denis,

Sorry, I missed your reply so sorry for not getting back to you earlier.

The attribute sys.archive.file_id is set on the CREATE event, i.e. when you open the file for writing in EOS and before you have written the file contents. The file is archived to tape after the CLOSEW event, i.e. after you finish writing the file to disk.

In order to understand why some files are not having their metadata updated in EOS I would need to see the tape server logs showing the archive event and reporting events for one of the files with the missing metadata.

Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael,

No trouble at all, and thank you for coming back to me! We haven’t seen this issue in a little while. It looks like a rebuild of the entire stack fixed the issue somehow, so this is no longer a concern to us.

You did mention tapeserver logs. While I can no longer reproduce the issue, the tapeserver logs are attached in my original post.

Warm Regards,

Denis Lujanski

Hi Denis,

The excerpt from the logs you provided shows that the file was archived and the migration report job was queued:

However, the log excerpt does not include the part which shows what happened to this reporting job. The report job was presumably popped from the reporting queue at some point, and failed. I would need to see that part of the logs to diagnose what happened.

Note that the report job may be popped by a different tape server to the one that wrote the file. The work of processing reports is distributed across all tape servers.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that. It’s good to know the reporting is a separate job. I’ll be sure to look out for that, should this issue re-occur. So far it has not.

Thanks as always for your help!

Denis
