[Linux-cluster] RHEL Cluster node fencing and cluster membership

Have you tried comparing the output of the cluster tools between the two
nodes?
 
Maybe the internal cluster services are not 'synchronised'
I have seen this on clusters with connection issues.
 
I'm not familiar enough with the messages to understand them exactly, 
  but my gut instinct tells me you temporarily have 2 seperate clusters with
1 vote each.
My guess:
1/ the secundary node fails to join the cluster on the first node
2/ the secundary node starts its own cluster 
3/ the primary node sees the secundary node and says hello
4/ the secundary node and then fences the primary node 
 
Are both nodes running NTP (timing issues, log timestamps)
Are ther any firewalls or network issues? (multicast packets traveling only
one way)
 
 
Regards,
 
Kit

Subject: [Linux-cluster] RHEL Cluster node fencing and cluster membership



Hi 

I have two dl585 with shared storage from MSA 1000 in a two node rhel 5.3
cluster. Priority in cluster.conf are like below.

<failoverdomainnode name="usrylxap237.merck.com" priority="1"/> 
                                <failoverdomainnode
name="usrylxap238.merck.com" priority="2"/> 

Whenever lower priority node usrylxap238 Is rebooted it kills cman on
usrylxap237 (Higher priority node) and fence it causing reboot of it.
Message I see in /var/log/messages of higher priority node is 

Jun 26 11:02:36 usrylxap237 openais[4750]: [CMAN ] cman killed by node 2
because we rejoined the cluster without a full restart

Jun 26 11:03:57 usrylxap237 openais[27373]: [CMAN ] cman killed by node 1
because we were killed by cman_tool or other application

After reboot when higher priority node usrylxap237 comes up it tranfers
services from lower priority node to itself and everything works fine for
some time. Then I see following message in /var/log/messages of higher
priority node running services.

Now my cluster is messed up. Even though clustat and cman_tool show
everything is fine. As I can not move services between the node (they are
running fine on present node). It even does not give any error message when
I try to move them using clusvcadm.

I have clvmd running with locking_type = 3 and gfs2 file system mounted
(using dlm) which now is hanging on higher priority node but is fine on
lower priority node (Which seems is not part of cluster now).

[root at usrylxap237 ~]# service gfs2 status 
Active GFS2 mountpoints: 
/oracluster1 

[root at usrylxap238 ~]# service gfs2 status 
Configured GFS2 mountpoints: 
/oracluster1 
Active GFS2 mountpoints: 
/oracluster1 

Not sure why cluster is loosing membership and getting staled and GFS file
system is not accessible. 

Thanks
