  • Cluster going partition without quorum

    Posted on

    I have created a simple two node cluster and found that the nodes are not joining. Each node forms its own partitioned cluster, mentioning the other node as UNCLEAN (offline)
    RHEL Version - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 Beta (Maipo)
    Steps followed :
    firewall-cmd --add-service=high-availability
    systemctl start pcsd
    pcs cluster auth rhelha1 rhelha2

    pcs cluster setup --start --name abhi_cluster rhelha1 rhelha2

    Please find the pcs status output from both nodes below.

    [root@rhelha1 /]# pcs status
    Cluster name: abhi_cluster
    WARNING: no stonith devices and stonith-enabled is not false
    Stack: corosync
    Current DC: rhelha1 (version 1.1.15-9.el7-e174ec8) - partition WITHOUT quorum
