How to change totem token timeout value in a RHEL 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 High Availability cluster?
Issue
- I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux cluster using the default
tokentimeout value of 10 seconds. I want to increase this value to make the cluster more resilient against unresponsive nodes, network interruptions, or similar delays. - I need to modify the cluster poll rate.
- How do I change/increase/modify cluster heartbeat token timeout value?
- How do I avoid problems due to a temporary network glitch in a cluster?
- How do I prevent cluster fencing due to temporary network split?
- How do I increase the amount of time required to detect failed nodes?
- How long will a Red Hat cluster wait before it fences the unresponsive node?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (with the High Availability Add-On)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (with the High Availability Add-On)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (with the High Availability Add-On)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (with the High Availability Add-On)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (with the High Availability Add-On)
