  • Cannot start DLM in TCP protocol

    Posted on

    I am running RHEL6-7 cluster and I cannot get the DLM to start without SCTP.

    The man page for dlm_controld states:
    "Kernel options
    protocol
    The network protocol can be set to tcp, sctp or detect which selects tcp or sctp
    based on the corosync rrp_mode configuration (redundant ring protocol). The rrp_mode none" results in tcp.

    Default: detect.
    "

    On the box the rrp mode is none, so it should result in tcp, but the dlm always loads the kernel sctp module.

    "$> lsmod | grep sctp
    sctp 267220 3 dlm
    libcrc32c 1246 1 sctp
    ipv6 335525 97 sctp"

    I have also tried blacklisting the sctp module, and setting in cluster.conf.

    But no matter what I do I cannot get DLM to run without SCTP.

    The reason is I have a 3rd party application that will not run if kernel SCTP running, so I need the DLM to run with TCP.
    It all runs fine on RHEL6-4, but it won't run in 6-7.

    Am I missing some config setting somewhere?
