I am using cinder AZs to expose local disk for volume services running on a Hyper-V 2016 instance. Using the mitaka cinder driver it can do the local detect (for S2D efficiency) which works most of the time. But after a while I will start getting what I would imagine is a token expiration that breaks attaching volumes to instances.

2017-03-31 13:07:02.532 3436 ERROR cinder.volume.drivers.remotefs [req-9695f713-81a8-4b0e-b04f-1b9d26f9bf2e - - - - -] Exception during mounting Unable to mount SMBFS share: \localhost\Cinder$ WMI exception: <x_wmi: a="" specified="" logon="" session="" does="" not="" exist.="" it="" may="" already="" have="" been="" terminated.="" ><="" p="">

I am betting I just need to do a more precise configuration in my New-SmbShare with perms or something, but wasn't sure. And HV server is a bit of a black box so harder to track down might might be going on. As a note volume creation and nova ops all work, but that attachment is what is blowing up.

I think that happens when it tries to cleanup a failed mount. Could you please include the whole trace? Thank you.

I guess you're using CSVs, right? We're usually placing scale-out shares on top of them, simplifying share address resolution. I'd suggest using share locations such as //<sofs-name>/<volumes_share>. Those will be resolved to their local mount points.

Nope just a local SMB share configured as //localhost/Cinder$ no CSV or anything complex. Just trying to use the local storage in the box. I will flip on debug as the local cinder-volume-smb just contains the above over and over.

Flipped on verbose in cinder-volume-smb.conf and nothing really enlightening. http://paste.openstack.org/show/605417/

And added a debug=true statement to the conf and oddly I did bsod the box, but after booting still getting the context error. http://paste.openstack.org/show/605425/

I mean honestly I don't even want to use the SMB share which I thought the mitaka driver handled internally to make the S2D lookup try local first.

As a workaround for now, just set the actual hostname instead of 'localhost'. This should let the driver pick it up as a local share (which is simply resolving addresses). I'm going to send a fix ASAP, sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know how it went.
