  • Pacemaker cluster (stonith:fence_idrac) device is stopped whenever there is a configuration task carried out in network switch

    Posted on

    Hi,

    We have a Red hat failover cluster with pacemaker which has two nodes with iDRAC as the fencing device. However, when there is a any kind of configuration change in Network switch side fencing resources get stopped.

    * node01 (stonith:fence_idrac): Stopped
    * node02 (stonith:fence_idrac): Started ime-prod-app01
    * Clone Set: ping-clone [ping]:
    * Started: [ ime-prod-app01 ime-prod-app02 ]

    Failed Resource Actions:
    * node01_start_0 on ime-prod-app02 'OCF_TIMEOUT' (198): call=594, status='Timed Out', exitreason='', last-rc-change='2021-03-20 02:35:25 +05:30', queued=0ms, exec=20137ms

    Failed Fencing Actions:
    * reboot of ime-prod-app01 failed: delegate=ime-prod-app02, client=pacemaker-controld.14605, origin=ime-prod-app02, last-failed='2021-03-20 03:51:34 +05:30'

    Are there some parameters that we need to adjust?
    What does it mean by "Failed Fencing Actions"?

    Thanks,
