[Linux-cluster] manual fencing issue

[Eric Lemoine]

Hi,

I'm a new member to the linux-cluster mailing list.

I'm trying to set up a 2-node cluster using RedHat Cluster based on
OpenAIS, with manual fencing (for now).

When I reboot a node (l6-z-5), I get the following error messages in
/var/log/syslog of the other node (l6-z-12):

Oct 12 16:38:02 l6-z-12 fenced[4508]: fencing node "l6-z-5"
Oct 12 16:38:02 l6-z-12 fenced[4508]: fence "l6-z-5" failed

Probably because of that fencing failure, the service located on
l6-z-5 doesn't failover to l6-z-12. The fenced error messages repeat
until l6-z-5 rejoins the cluster.

Does anyone know what's going on?

My cluster.conf includes this for the fencing part:

        <fencedevices>
                <fencedevice agent="fencemanual" name="last_resort"/>
        </fencedevices>

My distro is Ubuntu Edgy, which has packages for RedHat Cluster and
OpenAIS. The version of cman seems to be 2.20061002, and the version
of openais 0.80.1.

Thanks a lot,
