This update provides a new version of the VboxWrapper which supports the muliattachmode. Please let me know if there are any issues.

For what it's worth, this version dies immediately on both my Windows 10 machine and a Rocky Linux 8.6 box[1]. I didn't have much time to investigate this afternoon (too many meetings...). Please let us know whether or not your new tasks are running normally.
[1] Tasks link if anyone has the time and inclination to take a look overnight UK time.

Message 7334 - Posted: 15 Jun 2022, 4:26:42 UTC - in response to Message 7333.  

I suspect it is caused by a vdi registration error (on Windows a well as on Linux):
VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot register the hard disk 'C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\lhcathomedev.cern.ch_lhcathome-dev\CMS_2021_07_07.vdi' {f888c51e-0503-4495-8794-fd67809dc4e8} because a hard disk 'C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome\CMS_2021_07_07.vdi' with UUID {f888c51e-0503-4495-8794-fd67809dc4e8} already exists

The old app version as well as the new app version both refer to the same vdi file "CMS_2021_07_07.vdi".
To allow both app versions to coexist the new vdi file must have a different name and a different UUID.


@Laurence
Please clone the old vdi file using a command line like this:
vboxmanage clonemedium CMS_2021_07_07.vdi CMS_2022_06_15.vdi

Then create the new app version with CMS_2022_06_15.vdi instead of CMS_2021_07_07.vdi.



BTW
BOINC first published an unstripped Linux version of vboxwrapper.
They recently updated the executable with a stripped version which is slightly smaller:

Message 7338 - Posted: 15 Jun 2022, 8:54:49 UTC - in response to Message 7334.  

I suspect it is caused by a vdi registration error (on Windows a well as on Linux):
VBoxManage.exe: error: Cannot register the hard disk 'C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\lhcathomedev.cern.ch_lhcathome-dev\CMS_2021_07_07.vdi' {f888c51e-0503-4495-8794-fd67809dc4e8} because a hard disk 'C:\ProgramData\BOINC\projects\lhcathome.cern.ch_lhcathome\CMS_2021_07_07.vdi' with UUID {f888c51e-0503-4495-8794-fd67809dc4e8} already exists

The old app version as well as the new app version both refer to the same vdi file "CMS_2021_07_07.vdi".
To allow both app versions to coexist the new vdi file must have a different name and a different UUID.

Ah, thanks, I'd missed that difference because of the long line and my eyesight problems -- I thought it was the same file.

It is working fine for me with the Theory app.

https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3092467

Maybe it is an issue with the app version upgrade. does a project reset fix it?

Message 7342 - Posted: 15 Jun 2022, 12:26:42 UTC - in response to Message 7341.  

It's not caused directly by BOINC.
The issue appears as long as the VirtualBox media manager tries to register a vdi with a UUID that is already in the list.
If that vdi is attached to a VM it can't be switched to multiattach mode.

Once switched to multiattach mode a vdi can be used by many VMs.


The old method copies the original vdi to a slot and sets a new random UUID.
That's why all of them can be named "vm_image.vdi".

See the comments from the BOINC sorcecode:
https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/samples/vboxwrapper/vbox_vboxmanage.cpp#L519-L593

Hmm, yes, I got the new wrapper running on both my machines by making sure CMS@Home wasn't running (I had to manually remove the BOINC VMs on Windows as they hung around in VirtualBox after I did a pause and abort on the tasks).

I checked some logs from my computers as well as from other volunteers (Windows and Linux).
Looks like the new vboxwrapper works as expected.

Not yet tested is a heavy load scenario on computers with lots of cores but I'm sure the new vboxwrapper isn't less robust than the old one.
I tested it with a self compiled version but not with the version provided by BOINC.

Please use a cloned CMS vdi file (new name + new UUID) when you prepare the app version for the production server.
It's a few seconds of work but ensures that both app versions can coexist on the clients until older tasks are finished.

My host had some sort of problem with all these CMS tasks. But it is running Boinc 7.20.0 (Development version) + Windows 11 + Virtualbox 6.1.34
... so maybe that has something to do with it. Or is it clearly something else ?


ATLAS tasks had "Outcome : Success"...
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3093565

... but
Run time 24 min 48 sec
CPU time 2 min 35 sec
... and "No HITS file was produced" for all three of them and these lines in Stderr output :

Message 7368 - Posted: 17 Jun 2022, 11:36:31 UTC - in response to Message 7366.  

The good news:
Your CMS tasks correctly configure the differencing image and boot the VM.

The bad news:
There are lots of network errors when the bootstrap script from inside the VM sends some network tests.
Might be a firewall issue.

Example https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3093277:
2022-06-17 10:05:30 (1696): Guest Log: [INFO] Testing connection to HTCondor

2022-06-17 10:06:36 (1696): Guest Log: [DEBUG] Status run 3 of up to 3: 1
2022-06-17 10:06:36 (1696): Guest Log: [DEBUG] run 1
.

.
<and many lines below>



Didn't look into the ATLAS example yet.

Your ATLAS VM boots fine and uses a differencing image.
See:
2022-06-17 01:42:33 (2204): Adding virtual disk drive to VM. (ATLAS_vbox_0.84_image.vdi)



The error happens much deeper inside the running VM in one of the ATLAS scripts:
2022-06-17 02:07:07 (2204): Guest Log:     "exeErrorDiag": "Non-zero return code from EVNTtoHITS (33); Logfile error in log.EVNTtoHITS: \"IOVDbSvc            FATAL Conditions database connection COOLOFL_TRT/OFLP200 cannot be opened - STOP\"",

Okay, I believe you are right.

I fired up another host that run Windows 10 + Boinc 7.20.0 + VirtualBox 6.1.34. This host too produced the same errors:
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3093178

Then I downgraded Boinc from 7.20.0 to 7.16.20. Same errors again.
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3093397

Then I downgraded VirtualBox from 6.1.34 to 6.1.32 . Same errors again.
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/result.php?resultid=3093379

2022-06-17 20:05:13 (4272): VM Completion Message: Could not connect to all required network services

I wish I knew what to change and where. But I think I'll just pause trying these CMS tasks for now so that I won't flood this board with my messages. This network thing seems to be a problem on my hosts only.

It may help to know which script causes the errors.
It can be found here:
https://gitlab.cern.ch/vc/vm/-/blob/master/bin/basic_network_tests

The test command is just 1 line in that script:
https://gitlab.cern.ch/vc/vm/-/blob/master/bin/basic_network_tests#L20



The script is called a couple of times from inside the VM when bootstrap-cms is executed.
https://gitlab.cern.ch/vc/vm/blob/master/sbin/bootstrap-cms#L52-L76
Hence, it's CMS only.

Just checked the UUIDs of the CMS vdis from the dev server and the prod server.
They are the same since the vdis are identical.

This causes problems when a volunteer runs tasks from dev and prod concurrently.
See:
https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/forum_thread.php?id=563&postid=7390


@Laurence
Please ensure each vdi that is sent out has a unique UUID.
