ALM-27004 Data Inconsistency Between Active and Standby DBServices

Description

The system checks the data synchronization status between the active and standby DBService every 10 seconds. This alarm is generated when the synchronization status cannot be queried for six consecutive times or when the synchronization status is abnormal.

This alarm is cleared when the synchronization status becomes normal.

Attribute

Alarm ID	Alarm Severity	Automatically Cleared
27004	Critical	Yes

Parameters

Name	Meaning
Source	Specifies the cluster for which the alarm is generated.
ServiceName	Specifies the service for which the alarm is generated.
RoleName	Specifies the role for which the alarm is generated.
HostName	Specifies the host for which the alarm is generated.
Local DBService HA Name	Specifies the HA name of the local DBService.
Peer DBService HA Name	Specifies the HA name of the peer DBService.
SYNC_PERCENT	Specifies the synchronization percentage.

Impact on the System

When data is not synchronized between the active and standby DBServices, data may be lost or abnormal if the active instance becomes abnormal.

Possible Causes

The network between the active and standby nodes is unstable.
The standby DBService is abnormal.
The standby node disk space is full.

Procedure

Check whether the network between the active and standby nodes is normal.

On FusionInsight Manager, choose Cluster > Services > DBService > Instance, check the service IP address of the standby DBServer instance.
Log in to the active DBService node as user root.
Run the ping Standby DBService heartbeat IP address command to check whether the standby DBService node is reachable.
- If yes, go to 6.
- If no, go to 4.
Contact the network administrator to check whether the network is faulty.
- If yes, go to 5.
- If no, go to 6.
Rectify the network fault and check whether the alarm is cleared.
- If yes, no further action is required.
- If no, go to 6.

Check whether the standby DBService is normal.

Log in to the standby DBService node as user root.
Run the su - omm command to switch to user omm.
Go to the ${DBSERVER_HOME}/sbin directory and run the ./status-dbserver.sh command to check whether the GaussDB resource status of the standby DBService is normal. In the command output, check whether the following information is displayed in the row where ResName is gaussDB:

For example:
```
10_10_10_231 gaussDB Standby_normal Normal Active_standby
```
- If yes, go to 9.
- If no, go to 16.

Check whether the standby node disk space is full.

Log in to the standby DBService node as user root.
Run the su - omm command to switch to user omm.
Go to the ${DBSERVER_HOME} directory, and run the following commands to obtain the DBService data directory:

cd ${DBSERVER_HOME}

source .dbservice_profile

echo ${DBSERVICE_DATA_DIR}
Run the df -h command to view the system disk partition usage information.
Check whether the DBService data directory space is full.
- If yes, go to 14.
- If no, go to 16.
Expand the disk capacity.
After the disk capacity is expanded, wait 2 minutes and check whether the alarm is cleared.
- If yes, no further action is required.
- If no, go to 16.

Collect fault information.

On the FusionInsight Manager portal, choose O&M > Log > Download.
Select DBService in the required cluster from the Service.
Click in the upper right corner, and set Start Date and End Date for log collection to 10 minutes ahead of and after the alarm generation time, respectively. Then, click Download.
Contact the O&M personnel and send the collected logs.
