Hi, I am running a 4-way multi-master configuration with a number of slaves in remote locations. I am currently running openldap 2.4.33 on top of CentOS 6.3 (I built 2.4.33 from a modified base centos 6 spec file). I was originally running the centos base openldap 2.4.23 using N-way multimaster using the syncrepl configuration but I was having problems with the masters and slaves staying in perfect sync--other than this 2.4.23 was running stably since last spring. I'll try to be brief in what has happened since Feb 1.
* I upgraded the 4 masters to 2.4.33 and kept the syncrepl configuration. The syncrepl masters were using RefreshAndPersist while the slave consumers were using RefreshOnly. * After the upgrade the 2.4.33 masters began locking up, not refusing connections, but not returning queries--this would happen 3-4 per day. When one master locked all the masters would lock. Slaves appear to not be affected by this. * I downgraded back 2.4.23 in all of the masters only to have the lock-ups continue. * I slapcat'ed the database on one master and blew away the databases on all the other masters and slaves and rebuilt everything. I rebuilt one master and one slave and rsync'ed the slapd.d directory where needed. Then I started each master one-by-one to validate that they mirrored the databases correctly. Then I repeated this on the slaves. Unfortunately the masters would continue to lock up as above. * So, seeing that the lock-ups were occurring regardless of the openldap version I decided to go back to 2.4.33 and make the move to delta-replication. * This past weekend I finally got delta-replication working. I did the slapcat-rebuild slapd.d-slapadd on one master and rsync'ed slapd.d to each master one at a time. All was well and all databases were in perfect sync. * Unfortunately the masters would continue to lock, accepting connections but never servicing the request so all queries would hang. Looking at this again today I noticed that my masters were all running at near 100% CPU but continuing to service queries. Depending on the # of CPUs only one or two threads would be running this high. Using strace -tt -p <pid-ofthread>, this is what would be spewing out: 18:52:05.713266 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713323 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713380 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713438 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713495 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713553 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713611 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713668 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713726 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713783 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713840 sched_yield() = 0 18:52:05.713898 sched_yield() = 0 I haven't correlated this to the slapd daemons hanging, yet. There is nothing interesting in the logs when the slapd daemons would hang. Again when one master hangs they all would hang. I would restart each master one by one and on occasions when one master restarted the others would start servicing again. Other times it would take two or three restarts to get all of the masters servicing again. The only gain with delta-replication is that they only hang once a day now and usually after I had gone home. For now I have implemented a small script that is run from cron every two minutes to test the slapd daemons if they are hung doing a simple ldapsearch and if so then restart the slapd daemon. This is done on all four masters. My database is not large at all with only ~100 users but it is critical as it is the backend authentication for everything including the remote access. Here is the slapcat of my cn=config database (minus the schemas and operational attributes). It is a fairly typical delta-replication configuration. The accesslogs use hdb as that is what most (all) of the accesslogs examples show. The main database is bdb. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
