Why do dependent services not get restarted when the dependency service fails and recovers in a RHEL 5 or 6 cluster using central_processing mode?
Issue
-
Two node cluster consisting of parent service on one node and a dependent service running on another node.
-
When using
central_processing="1"
and a dependency service is manually moved from node A to node B, the dependent service automatically stops and then is started after the dependency is started. However, if the dependency service fails and relocates automatically, the dependent service does not restart. - Dependent services are not restarted properly with
central_processing
enabled
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 or 6 with the High Availability Add On
central_processing="1"
in/etc/cluster/cluster.conf
- RHEL 5:
rgmanager
prior to release 2.0.52-37.el5_9.1 - RHEL 6:
rgmanager
prior to release 3.0.12.1-12.el6
