'pcs resource restart' or 'crm_resource --restart' fails with "Error performing operation: Timer expired" in a RHEL 6 or 7 High Availability cluster with pacemaker

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When I run pcs resource restart without a --wait specified, the operation still times out and fails:
# pcs resource restart myResource-clone
Error: Could not complete shutdown of myResource-clone, 3 resources remaining
Error performing operation: Timer expired
Waiting for 3 resources to stop:
 * myFS-clone
 * myIPaddr-clone
 * myApp-clone
Deleted myResource-clone option: id=myResource-clone-meta_attributes-target-role name=target-role
  • Restarting a resource with pcs fails with a "Timer expired" error
  • Running crm_resource --restart fails with a timeout, even though I haven't specified -T or --timeout

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 or 7 with the High Availability Add On
  • pacemaker
